Your first Wholesale

[Chris Gavre]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie in the Real estate game. Been trying to get a home under contract. All I've done is drive for dollars, write out a big list, next day cold call all of them. Most people won't answer, I leave a voicemail and don't hear back. People that do answer either say no, or give me some crazy price like "I'll sell it to you for $265k" and it's worth like 30k tops.... (actually happened).

How did you get your first deal? Was it driving for dollars and cold calling? sending mail? what worked for you?

Keep hearing you guys mention "lists" if someone could explain that, what they are exactly, and how you find them I would appreciate that as well. 

Thank you.
