I went driving for dollars yesterday and made a list of 40 distressed properties. I've skip traced each one of them to obtain the property owner information.

Today, I went to target and bought blank notecards with matching envelopes (I know that the traditional way to mail is on postcards) and have hand written my message inside.

Do I put my address as the sender's address on the envelope?

Remember that the properties you are looking to wholesale (distressed) shouldn't qualify for a traditional mortgage loan. This is a huge value point. Also, buying in "as-is" condition is a huge benefit to the seller. Half of the people who own these properties never think to sell because they know they will have to fix everything on the property first to list it. This can be a major value point to a property owner/seller.

Think of these people being in a problem and needing to sell their home but can not afford to fix everything nor has the time to list it.

I suggest keeping this mindset and finding a way to talk to the owners of these properties. That's your first step: Talk to the owners of the properties on your list that you've built and offer to buy their home in cashhh.

@Danna Millar Bravo! Seriously, if it’s okay with you I am going to screenshot your post and use it as reference. Very insightful. I love most of all that you mentioned being new to wholesaling as well.

How many/what types of deals have you done?

very good information. I'm glad that you were able to dodge a bullet here. I am copying the "To be a true wholesaler you need these 3 main ingredients:" part and putting it in my notes! Thanks.
