Driving For Dollars

My partner and I decided that today was the day we'd go around driving for dollars around some neighborhoods we are interested in wholesaling.  We drove around for about 3 hours and found some quality leads that we think will end up being pretty profitable deals.  There were a few that were in nice neighborhoods but were VERY ugly, boards in the windows and definitely stood out.  This was our first time out and we felt that it was VERY successful and definitely pushed our motivation even further.  We are now in the process of researching the properties online and trying to find the owners.  I thought I'd post our story here and try to update you on what happens next.

Hey Kent..congratulations on those steps!!

I myself took those same steps over the weekend. I too found boarded up homes, located the owners addresses and just sent out letters to them in the mail. 

The system is generally the same all over the nation....action makes it happen
