Any Tips On Finding Properties To Wholesale?

Question

Hi everyone, I would like to know from anyone who has had success with wholesaling properties on how they found their deals when they started out. I know of some techniques such as driving for dollars and so forth, but I am just mostly interested in how people started and how they found deals. Thank you in advance....

Account Closed There is a lot of information on this topic.

Driving for dollars, direct mail, getting lists from town clerk of blighted homes, etc. I think if you research those for starters you should be able to get a decent amount of information.

Alternatively, if you don't want to comb through the forums then listen to the podcasts. It hits on exactly what you're looking for - how wholesalers got started.

Best of luck.

We have success with 3 key marketing strategies:1) AdWords - set up an account with the right keywords and a good landing page2) Direct Mail to Absentee Owners with Equity3) Outdoor - billboards (static & electronic), other signage, wrapped cars, etc.

We're also now running radio and TV advertising in a lot of our markets but that's not a strategy that I start with.  I get the 3 above in place and working well first.

Hope that helps!
