Hi BP, I am a currently self employed in the car biz and decided I need a new challenge. I am looking to do some wholesale and fix and flip deals. The market here in Charlotte is very hot right now so I have decided to do a direct marketing campaign. The website is getting set up and I am sending out over 2,000 mailers out to various locations around Charlotte and surrounding. They go out on Monday! I will keep everyone posted on this journey and chronicle my progress! Thanks, Ryan form HomeVentures Charlotte.

I am interested in seeing how your mailer goes. Do you have a bulk mailing certificate? Or are you paying full price for postage? I mail as well..... The pissed off people do happen, I just talk nice with them and they usually give in. Have you tried low ball offers on MLS listings?

Thanks for posting your journey for us to follow with. Very interested in the numbers from that first deal. Also if it cost to send out $1,800? I'm looking at sending a thousand out very soon. Currently stuck in analysis paralysis......t has me locked down.馃槬

I had success with the first mailing but nothing since. I have started 2 more campaigns(about 1500 mailers) in different zip codes w/o any real success. MLS here in Charlotte is very competitive. Low-ball offers will not work right now in the infill neighborhoods near uptown. Investors/flippers are usually overpaying. Pm me if you have any more questions. Thanks!
1800 mailers and what type? Post cards, letters , other
yellow letters for the first mailing that netted me my deal. Cost about 1 dollar per. I have used postcards to mail the same zip 6 weeks later with no success. Not many calls and no leads generated from the sencond mailing. Charlotte NC is very competitive right now.

@Ryan Battista I couldn't agree more everyone is reading about how fast Charlotte is growing so there are a lot of out-of-towners and hedge funds here. In addition to those who are already doing well in this market. Also people are getting there lists from the same list source. I was at the Charlotte meet up where a gentleman who did some mailers said he went to a house and the seller told him that she had had 14 other letters/postcards from investors. I am moving my marketing efforts and dollars up and down 85 towards Gastonia, Concord, and Kannapolis.

Ryan Battista so good to hear of your success. Charlotte is booming but at the same time a little over saturated. Like the guy above me in this thread, gaston county would be a great market to tackle too!! Lots of potential, quiet neighborhoods, and good schools.
Always looking to connect with wholesalers/realtors as I am a flipper in the Charlotte/Gastonia areas. Add me to your list!

Hey Everyone! its been awhile. I have been marketing my *** off but Charlotte is very competitive. I have gotten a couple deals but it has costed me tons of money in marketing to get these deals so I have not made as much profit as expected. I am scaling back somewhat in Charlotte for the and diverting some marketing into Rock Hill SC. If anyone is also interested in the Rock Hill market feel free to contact me. Thanks!

Christine, I'm from Indiana, but have been thinking about the Rock Hill/Fort Mill area as an investment opportunity. My sister lives closer to Lancaster, and I see the growth each time I visit. I'd love to get your understanding of the market. So far I've seen a lot of land deals with commercial development opportunities but initially have not found many pre-existing multi family properties.

@Ryan Battista I am new to BP and I am interested on how the mailer went? I have been investing for a little over a year now in Charlotte but would like to be added to any list you have and talk to you about working together in the future. Interested in hearing how this went?

@Ryan Battista - I echo what you said. I have talked to some Real Estate Agents in Charlotte and they said the samething. @Aaron Bock - Welcome to BP. I have been in the game for 2 years now, let me know if you have any questions.
@Ryan Battista we've seen the same thing in Charlotte with our marketing. We've recently pivoted a bit and are buying raw land to do new construction in Charlotte - just got an accepted offer on two lots in the HOT Belmont neighborhood. If you come across any land please hit me up.
I would also be interested in deals in Rock Hill for buy and hold...especially multi-family.
