Is it bad business to show up unannounced and just knock on the door?

And knocking on doors (aka "driving for dollars") is the 1970s way of doing this.

I am a new wholesaler in the central valley, i have been door knocking and cold calling but only 5 days a week i have school 2 days a week and i want to keep my pipeline full with cold calls as well.  

Look on YouTube for videos of wholesalers and Realtors (and various other business/sales people) cold calling prospects for business.disclosure: this (cold/warm calling) is my primary lead gen spoke, second only to door-knocking and networking.

Just my .02, but after only 20 deals (I'm not knocking 20 deals!!)

Good point about knocking down the price since there aren't any agents but him.

When she did, that person got up from the floor, looked around, and sat on the couch until the PD started knocking on the door. 

I am hoping to find a community that will not only help me grow in my new journey but also allow me to help others when I finally knock the newbie smell off me.

Are you knocking on doors and talking to neighbors?

If you're new no one is going to knock down your door to do a deal with them, it's up to you do knock down someone else's door.
