The follow-up speed thing is real

This is more of a confirmation post than a strategy post but I think it's worth sharing because it made a bigger difference than I expected. We had a lead response time problem for a long time. New leads would come in and get routed to whoever was available which meant sometimes they got called b...

New wholesaler, 2 deals in — hit a time ceiling, what's next?

Been wholesaling for a few months now and closed 2 deals so far. My lead gen is a mix of scraping property lists off free software (manually pulling addresses one at a time), cold calling, and driving for dollars virtually via Google Street View. The strategies are working — I'm just maxed out on...

The Cleveland "Cool Down" Nobody is Talking About (And Why It’s an Off-Market Goldmin

I've been watching the Ohio market closely, and there's a subtle shift happening right now that most retail buyers are completely missing. According to recent data, homes in Cleveland sold for an average of 1.5% below asking price in June 2026, with the Sale-to-List price ratio sitting right arou...

What do investors look at first when evaluating a wholesale deal

As a newer wholesaler focusing on Indianapolis, I’m trying to improve my ability to recognize good deals before bringing them to investors. When you receive a potential wholesale deal, what are the first 2–3 things you look at? ARV? Repair costs? Location? Rental demand? Cash flow? I’m trying to ...

How many contacts attempts Do you make on pre-foreclosure Leads?

I’m new to wholesaling and have been studying pre-foreclosure leads in Indianapolis. One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of properties show strong equity, but finding accurate owner contact information can be tougher than expected. For those with experience: • How many contact attempts do you us...

How Wholesalers Are Actually Handling Disposition Right Now (What’s Working in 2026)

I’ve been testing different wholesaler/dispo setups across a few markets recently, and one thing is becoming very clear — the biggest bottleneck isn’t finding deals, it’s actually what happens after the deal is under contract. I’ve been spending time in different markets recently and wanted to ge...

How accurate does the repair estimate need to be on a wholesale deal sheet?

For wholesalers, how tight do you try to make the repair estimate before sending a deal to buyers? I see a lot of deal sheets with a single clean rehab number, but in reality, the range can be pretty wide. Example: ARV: $260k Asking: $145k Repair estimate: maybe $45k–$70k depending on finishes, r...

Is Skip Tracing really the problem, or is it what you do next?

I keep seeing people blame skip tracing when outbound campaigns underperform, and sometimes that’s fair. But I’m starting to think the bigger issue is what happens after the skip trace comes back. A provider may return 3, 4, or 5 phone numbers for an owner, but that doesn’t mean the data is actua...

Small shift that helped us recently: tracking conversations instead of just leads. Sounds simple, but it changed how we handled follow-ups completely. Anyone else tracking this differently?

I’ve been talking to a lot of house flippers lately and the same problem keeps coming up deals slipping through because follow-ups fall through the cracks.

Depth beats width: why I stopped chasing markets and committed to one

One of the biggest shifts that changed how I operate: I stopped spreading myself across markets and went all-in on Detroit / Wayne County. Early on it's tempting to chase whatever market looks hot that week. But the operators actually closing deals aren't the ones with the widest net, they're the...
