2) Agent calls about fixer-uppers BEFORE they hit the market.Challenge will be getting them at the right price, w/o insulting the agent.If you have the time or funds to hire someone to do it for you, suggest you setup Constant Contact or similar program to send monthly reminders to agents about:1) Your repair services that save deals2) Post 1-3 success stories with quotes from agents you helped - because they all know each other3) That you are looking for fixer-uppers, with some loose buy-box parameters (don't be too restrictive or you won't get deal exposure)You can then add every agent you encounter.It will take 3-6 months, but will eventually snowball if you do good work.
