Finding the Right Deal
After deciding to pursue a flip for my first investment, the next (and most crucial) step is securing the right deal.
We’ve all heard the strategies—
-Driving for dollars
-Networking
-Cold calling
-Direct mail or email
-Text campaigns
They all sound great in theory, but I keep asking myself:
What really works when you're just starting out?
Personally, I’ve been testing a system:
- I generate leads through DealMachine
- I send a mass email
- I plan to follow up with text campaigns via Launch Control (once my EIN is finalized)
But I’m curious…
-Are people having more success with phone calls, texts, or emails?
-What’s your favorite way to build rapport with a seller?
-Do you have a follow-up process that made all the difference on your first deal?
I’d love to hear about how you locked in that first property. I’m here to learn—and to take action.
Thanks in advance!
