Getting started in Cold calling

Getting started in Cold calling

Lender · Glen Burnie, MD · Member since 2018 · 39 posts · 12 votes

Hello,

Im 24 y/o and I just bought my first house and I am looking to try acquiring properties through cold calling. I am a full time car salesman and have been in sales for a few years now. I am simply just trying to find the best way to get started in cold calling. Reason for me choosing cold calling is because of my field, also I have a amazing agent that got me my current house ( so i'm still combing the MLS ). I am not looking to be a "wholesaler" I posted this here because I feel like wholesalers are best at this form of lead generating.

I attend to be a buy and hold/Brrr investor, if I end up wholesaling a deal or two then i'll take it but my goal is 20k passive income (10k for me/10k under my wife's name). Is there a free option for finding leads to call ? or do they all cost monthly ? I look forward to everyone's response and would love to talk real estate with anyone. feel free to dm me and we can exchange numbers, social media, ect.

Use the county auditors' website where you live to find property owners and call on them! I can't speak about where you live exactly, but the auditor's website is basically public records, has the owner's name, and usually a phone number to reach out and contact them!

    Since you are looking for lead generation for yourself and looking to keep your current job, cold calling is like pulling teeth. One because of the time constraint and two the success rate no matter how good you are is hard because it’s like finding a diamond kn the rough. My suggestion (as I am a cash investor who buys ans holds and flips) is digital marketing like a site etc. anyways that works best for me and solves many issues in terms of time money and intentional marketing. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

     if you're looking for free leads, go ahead on zillow and call for sale by owners. Probably will be hard to find a good deal there, but it's good free practice. Then when you're ready go ahead and get propstream so you can start calling off market home owners. That's where the deals are.

    @Account Closed what's the money offset for setting up your own site vs for say direct mail marketing? 
    do those costs include the advertisements as well? curious the best route to go.

    @Austin Johnson Ask yourself how many times you interact with a website and how many times you open a piece of mail and do business with it.

    And in terms of cost - it depends it’s unlimited how much you can spend on digital advertising or mail marketing. It’s the effectiveness that makes the difference. Hope that makes sense.
