Hey Everyone! My name is Ash, I've been doing Acquisition and managing whole operations for other wholesalers for a while now, and recently I started my own wholesaling and BPO business. I'm still trynna build a solid buyers list as a start, Starting in the DFW area then nationwide (hopefully), If you have any advice or just want to connect shoot me a message!
Welcome, Ash, and good luck getting started in DFW. The buyers list part is real work — I have found a small list of people who can actually close is worth more than a long list of names. Talk to sellers in plain words, know your numbers before you pass a deal on, and keep learning out loud. I am still doing that myself.
Ash, welcome. Since you already ran acquisitions you know the seller side. The dispo side is where new shops usually underbuild though, the buyer list is not just a list, it is a pipeline.
Few things that helped me: tag buyers by buy box at intake, not later when the list is a mess. Keep buyer outreach on completely separate workflows from seller automations, contacts crossing pipelines is the classic disaster. And pause seller workflows before you blast buyers, otherwise you get cross enrollment surprises.
Building buyers first is the right order though. Deals die without dispo.
Coming from acquisitions, you already know what makes a deal close. For the buyer list I'd start with the deeds: cash and LLC buyers in Dallas and Tarrant counties with 2+ purchases in the last 6 months. Are you planning to source on market in DFW too, or mostly off?
I usually do off, But I can totally source any kind of deal, we should chat over the phone to see how we run things, maybe we can jump to a good collab together.
Welcome, Ash! Sounds like you've already got some good experience under your belt. My advice would be to focus on getting really good in one market before trying to go nationwide. DFW is a big market with plenty of opportunities.
As far as building your buyers list, I'd focus more on quality than quantity. Find investors who are actively closing deals, learn their buy boxes, and build actual relationships with them. Having 10 solid buyers you can pick up the phone and call is worth more than having 1,000 names on a spreadsheet.
Curious, are you planning to handle acquisitions yourself or focus more on the operations side?
Hey Travis, Thanks for the advice it actually makes alot of sense, also that's what I was going for. Building relations rather than just 1 time deals. Regarding the ACQ side, I'd love to jump on a call and chat about how we both do things. Maybe we can find some middleground! Looking forward to hearing from you!
