Hello, I’m Princella. I’m brand new to Real Estate Investing and brand new to Bigger pockets. I am transitioning into real estate from 3.5 years of car sales. I’ve learned some valuable skills from that industry and am looking forward to applying them here. I’m interested in having multiple strategies in my arsenal from wholesaling, to short sales, subject to’s and flipping. What is the best way to build my buyer’s list?

Go to foreclosure auctions and network
Find an agent that will pull all homes on MLS purchased with cash within the last 6 months. Then find any duplicates, proving they are repeat investors in that area.
Call any bandit signs saying 'We Buy Houses' (etc.) and network
Go to your local REI group meetings and network with investors

If you find any bare land, say less than 5 acres, near Nacogdoches give me a pm.

Princella just saw this thread. Have you been to one of the meetups at Quest Trust? They hold them on Tuesdays. Look them up. Even if you don't have funds to drop into an IRA, still come learn about it. Best place to meet some real people that are actually doing deals.

@Princella Carr go through Zillow and call all the listing agents that have listed houses that are rehabbed. If they represent one investor, they likely represent more. Some want to get paid for being in the middle - other's don't (they just want to keep their clients happy). Either way this is targeting qualified people that are actually doing deals.
1) Face to Face meetings with other investors at local REIA meetings. Talk to others, see what they do, and ask them if they want to be on your buyers list. Make sure you have business cards for this.
2) Post on Facebook in your local investor groups you are looking for cash buyers. Be prepared - you will get A LOT of email addresses & phone numbers, but that doesn't mean they're all good buyers. You need to do your due diligence on some buyers.
3) Network with a local agent and ask if they can pull a list of homes sold to CASH buyers. Skip trace the names of the buyers and call them and let them know you see they buy houses cash and ask if they want to be on your list

Definitely network, network, network! Lots of real estate events around town, some even let you present any deals you are looking to sell.
Posting in Facebook groups tends to help as well, if you have a deal or are focusing on finding deals in a certain zip code, you can post something like "who is buying deals in ____ zip code?"
It's a long game, you build it over time. But know who your real buyers are and maybe even have a "VIP List" of buyers you know can close and perform and that you trust.
