Hi, my name is Jymingston and I am a newbie investor. Can anyone give me any tips on how to find properties to wholesale?

Thanks

    Hi @Jimmy Calvin , 

    Welcome to the BP community! That is the question:) We find ours through direct mail (costly but still effective), craigslist (learn how to weed through the junk), and our website with FB ads. Many start out by driving through areas and looking for potential properties and finding out what's going on with them. 

    All the best!

    @Jimmy Calvin Welcome. You could knock on doors?

    or we could find them for you, get them under agreement, buy them, fix them up and sell them for you, keeping our profit for ourselves of course.

    @Jimmy Calvin you've got a little homework and legwork ahead...

    Thanks for your response Brett. I find that a few of the investors that I have spoken to have actually taken some of the approaches that you've mentioned. when you say direct mail do you mean sending out letters to distressed seller, absentee owners, probates, etc?.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Thank you for your input Mike. I was mostly looking for tips on which approaches have you found to be more effective on finding leads and also on better marketing strategies to find available properties. Any information would be appreciated. 

    Thanks
