Difficult time searching for homes

[James Devoe]

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I are new investors and we've been looking for creative financing deals, specifically, Absentee Owners. I've been using Propstream and Zillow to look for Multi-family to do our 1st House-hack. While I've been able to find quite a few on Propstream, and sent out hundreds of postcards to the owners, I haven't gotten a single call back. 

It's been very frustrating and it makes me wonder if I've been doing something wrong.

Should I re-examine my process or stick with it until something comes my way?

Doing this to find deals I have been advised you should be spending $500-$1500/mo in marketing to owners. Not sure what your spend is but typically it takes 4-6 touches before a person commits to selling.
