Getting Leads In The DFW Area.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to enter the Real Estate game and have been trying to do so by wholesaling. I have gotten close but still have not been able to make any deals. I have been cold calling but have had little luck with it. I am going to try Bandit Signs and see if that helps. Is there anyone in the DFW area or here in Texas that has some tips on how to get leads coming to me? Any advice helps.

How long have you been trying? How many calls are you making a day? Have you adapted any parts of your process that seem to be more or less successful? Are there others in your area doing it successfully? Sales is a beautiful thing; the more you call, the more likely you are to get a deal.

    Hi Alejandro, 

    I would recommend going to nearby real estate events and network heavily with real estate professionals. Having Realtors or Lenders in your back pocket that can loop you in will only expand your net. Good luck!!

    What areas are you targeting? There are bandit signs up everywhere now. You might not be getting anything closed because of area.

    @BILL 

    @Account Closed I have been cold calling for about two months now doing about 100 calls a day, Monday - Friday. I have only gotten one hot lead that almost became a deal but seller backed out.

    @Harrison Sharp I am currently targeting in Fort Worth and Burleson. I haven't started doing Bandit Signs yet but I already ordered some.

    @Alejandro Nava you need to reach a much larger audience. As a point of reference my team dials around 8,000-10,000 numbers per day and sends 800 texts/day. This gets us on average 3 healthy margin deals per month. It's a numbers game.

    @Mark Buskuhl Got it. I’ll start doing more calls daily and see how that works. I’ve been wanting to get into Texting but am worried about the Legality around it here in Texas.

    As an investor I am completely ok with people mailing me about purchasing my properties. What I DO NOT approve of is investors calling and texting my phone all freaking day. This is invasive of time and interrupts my life. Don't be that guy.

     Save money for a down payment. Buy and rehab and rent a property.

     Are you using an autodialer? TCPA is no joke, I defend many clients on these real claims.

     Exactly. But so many people don't want to hear anything about saving (aka "not spending") money.
