Can anyone suggest some proven methods?

In my estimation you have the track record.

I believe I am on the right track but I know there are some brilliant analysts on this site so please jump in an help!

. :-)Great post @J ScottYou probably did not have a point in mind to make but what stands out to me from your post is1) There is a big difference between a marginal opportunity that isn't "bad" and what is truly a DEAL.2) If a wholesaler has a TRUE great deal there are proven buyers like yourself that will buy them all day long.

I like that they have low minimums on the ifunding site..I'm still not sure exactly how they screen the deals "a proven formula" by a "team of professionals w/ over 30 yrs of experience"But another example of the "democratization" of RE investing and information (much like many other industries..)

I didn't really keep track but I can tell you that I got quite a few calls in the beginning and then the call volume slowly dropped off.

It has pockets of great neighborhoods interspersed within pockets of "war zones", new houses on the same streets as old houses, tiny track houses next to large custom houses, several schools have closed in the last couple years; just a lot of variables that you can only know by learning your market.

Overall their events throughout the month have proven to provide great opportunities.

I am looking for proven strategies that have worked in the past.
