Building a buyers list is more important to me than building a sellers list. With my buyers lists, I'm able to make multiple strings of income, and depending on my buyers for being repeat clients.

I wholesale, co wholesale, and market various products and services to my buyers lists. This is why anyone who I mentor or have one on one consultations with, I always advise them to have strong and reliable performing buyers lists. The longest it's ever taken me to move a property through my buyers list is three weeks.  

The crazy part is, I stumbled across much of the strategy I use to build my buyers lists by trial and error. Totally awesome experience! :-D

Nicole - thanks for the compliment. 

Now, when I saw the name "Nicole Curtis", I was expecting a TV star from the show "Rehab Addict" ;)

@Steve Babiak - . . . .  and still the post grows - what great information, I'm still using information in here to build my buyers lists in 2016! 

Just goes to show how truly "GREAT" information in this industry [and on BP], can be timeless, and of amazing value to newbies and oldies alike!

Kudos to you Steve!
