Thanks everyone. I am calling as a real estate investor to purchase for a wholesale or rehab so it’s a little different approach than an agent I feel. 

Hoping to get some thoughts on the below (I know ask a million people you’ll get a million answers :-)). 

In your opinion if a new investor (we’ve done live in flips but just decided to do more as a business) does their 1st deal and they have 20k to spend on marketing - what, in your opinion, is the best method to ramp it up? I was thinking of hiring AdWord Nerds to help with SEO and paid ads. It’s $16,000 for 4 months, including a 2,000/mo ad spend. Seem to be better quality leads. Let me also say I work FT and need to be smart with my time. Not afraid to dump it all back in to marketing to get things going. 

Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your time!

Does anyone have any good feedback about how to build rapport when you're reaching out to someone on a cold call or through some type of marketing where they are not coming to you?

I feel it's easy to ask, "why do you want to sell" and those types of questions if they've called you, but if you are initiating to see if they'd even be interested how should you approach?

Many thanks!!

Fabulous! Apprciate-ya Mike, thank you. 

Knowing that each market is different in its ebb & flow - I’d be interested to know what people are using (websites/reports) to track the metrics of market changes, hold time, # of buyers/sellers, sweet spot for price...etc?

Obviously the more you’re in the market, the more you get a “feel” for what’s going on; but for people who haven’t been in real estate investing that long how can you keep a pulse on changes?

Thanks for the feedback - I will definitely do he deed in lieu for future. Great advice!

We have a property in Hampton, VA we have a lien on & would like to foreclose to get our money back. Has anyone been in this position? I'd love to know how it worked out for you? Was it expensive to foreclose?

Thanks for any info. you can give!
