@Fazu M.Welcome to BP.I am in Houston as well and working on flipping and rental portfolio.This is a very good place to lead and meet other people.let me know if I can be any type of help.Good luck

You have to market like crazy to get those leads.

Real estate agents, mortgage lenders, title companies and escrow companies are familiar with harried changes to the HUD-1 closing statement and to mortgage documents, which changes often lead to aggravating delays and additional costs.As of August 1, 2015 our closing table dramas are scheduled to come to an end.The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Federal legislation enacted in 1974 to protect consumers from unscrupulous and confusing real estate practices, is changing in several significant ways.

Her business has picked up a bit over the past few years, but more leads would be great for her business.

I am looking to start with rehab & flip I have some questions..First question is what are you doing to find your leads are you doing direct mailing (yellow letters/post cards) targeting a specific list, driving for dollars.

With one deal under my belt I am by no means and expert, but here is my "word to the wise" to everyone else just getting started.1) Know what you're getting yourself into, active RE investing with no cash or credit is not nearly as easy as many gurus may lead you to believe.2) If you're like me and want to get into wholesaling before progressing into rehabbing, sure it's good to take that time to learn to evaluate repairs and ARVs ect, but depending on your situation, it may behoove of you to invest some time in early on planning on how you're going to secure funding.

Once you have a good feel for the area how do you go about pinning down the areas that you think could potentially generate the most leads or have the best deals?

@Rick HarmonYour method of determination for pursing a lead is right on!

By charging them a total of a $500 pet deposit may bring about feelings of animosity and may lead to a disregard for the upkeep of your property.

I'm guessing the first two have hit for now and I have received 3 calls so far.  2 of them seem to be quality leads so far and one was a "take me off your list" call.
