So in the current market, what are some tips and tricks for getting exposure quickly/testing the market, and hopefully landing a contract during the Christmas buying season (other than paying a broker 6%)?

When wholesaling, name a few small tricks that result in QUALITY leads rather than a bunch of leads that don't go anywhere?

For me, I didn't have the loan amount issue and I think that made it easier.But the one thing I would add is that the trick is sometimes to keep looking for more lenders.

My partner and I are starting in the wholesaling side of investing and would love any and all the tips, tricks, and education anyone could offer.ThanksJabari Dukes

The trick is finding a small bank that keeps their loans in house.

Articles frequently have info on marketing.Google Senior Housing News and you'll find it.

But there's no way in hell a typical agent is going to know about that sort of trick, which is why you need to talk to a competent lender local to where you are looking to purchase the property. 

Read countless books, watched videos, podcasts, and webinars from many different investors all with different tricks.

this is a very frequent game played by section 8 tenants.. and your stuck in a rock and hard spot.... their copay is 65 dollars.. their hud pay is 700 dollars.. you get them booted out because they don't pay their co pay.. and it takes one or two months to rent again plus the money you have to put in to it to have it reinspected... so now our down 1400 dollars not including in many areas that are dominated by hud tenants thefts are common place along with kids breaking in and vandalizing....

I am also very upfront with my plans for the property rather then trying to "trick" them or "secretly" assign it.
