There is a fella here on BP that has a fairly nice east Texas 25-unit complex that is more like what I have in mind, but I'm thinking I'm going to try some cold-calls in a region I'm more comfortable with, with friends and family nearby.

I've been struggling to get out of debt, I've found it to be quite difficult with my current level of income and my amount of student loan debt.I have been reading, studying, calculating, cold calling, mingling online, and trying to find great deals.

Hello BiggerPockets community,I was wondering what cold calling or text messages services you use to talk in order to reach out to your potential sellers/buyers.

You could either send a direct mail or skip trace their contact number and do cold calling.

Cold calling, handwritten letters, door knocking2.

You can send letters and email but cold calling is by far the most effective method but you really need to know what you’re doing, how to open the conversation, what questions to ask and more importantly when to listen and not talk.

A broker cold-called me and I mentioned I was interested in multifamily deals in this zip code.

As you know, you are dealing with humans, treat them well but know they also fear change and no one likes rent increasesIn addition to the holidays, I imagine it's pretty cold out there and you might have a hard time finding replacement tenants right now. 

I've sent mail and have phone numbers to cold call owners. 

They blow hot and cold.
