Networking with brokers is great too, depending on the broker, but the truly best deals you will strike and have the opportunity to execute will come when you are the one taking the call directly.Send letters, cold call, warm call, knock on doors, leave door hangers, post ads, do anything to start a conversation with someone who may be considering selling their property.

I'm looking at doing some cold calling for wholesaling and had a few questionsDoes list source also include phone numbers, if not how to get the numbers for the list?
