Wussup fellas, im fairly new as well...I'm also from Brooklyn and I've been mailing out letters for a couple of months to owners of properties that look distressed or based off of public record...I've gotten a few calls but they were not motivated...I've never bought a list, maybe that'll be my next move.

A lot of off-hours texts and calls.

Then call it.And have FUN with it.As with EVERY business it takes time to find clients/customers. 

Its a sellers market.A great tip is call your local real estate agent, but don't tell them if you are buying or selling.....Listen to what they say and you will be able to determine what your market is.  

And so on those threads some of the top names in the industry chimed in and called bull crap on his stuff

It doesn't always take a bankroll either- I've found properties through cold calling property owners directly as well which just takes some time and persistence. 

It's at www.centralohioreia.com, also called COREE.

She then calls me a few days later and says another agent from her office will be preparing the offer/contract, which I thought was a little strange; and I found out why. 

Are you constantly checking the MLS or is it better to have a real estate agent to call you about a certain property if they believe it is one that would interest you (assuming you explained to them what type of property you were looking for).  

Other agents call me with problem listings.
