Thanks @Michael Dumler
Hey Damon are you buying flips yourself in the ATL market? I am looking to add to my buyer list some.

I was told that BP has market specific groups that I can join. Would anyone be able to help me on joining one for the ATL market?
Going to have to disagree on this one, but I understand the concept you have here.

Hey BP Community,
I’m a newer wholesaler currently focused on building a strong buyers list and laying a solid foundation for my business. I’d love to share what I’ve done so far and get your input on what’s helped you build momentum, especially in sourcing your first few deals.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Posted in a few real estate-focused Facebook groups to introduce myself
Connected with local investors and lenders who’ve shown interest in joint venturing or offering support
Started researching properties in my area, particularly ones that appear vacant or neglected
Created a professional website (in progress) to support my branding and credibility
Joined BiggerPockets and started networking intentionally
My ask for the community:
What helped you build a successful buyers list early on?
What strategies, lead sources, or partnerships helped you close your first few wholesale deals?
I’m in the Atlanta area and open to insight, support, or even collaboration. I’d love to learn from those a few steps ahead and stay connected with others on this path.
Appreciate this space so much—y’all make this journey feel way less lonely.
Hello nice to meet you. I am a wholesaler as well in ATL but I only work on the dispo side of things. I enjoy more volume as a dispo wholesaler. Wholesaling can be rough especially on the acquisition side but the spreads are bigger. Typically how I see it is that acquisition will be less volume and bigger spreads and dispo is going to be more volume and usually lower fees.

I been calling about 20-40 properties a day, speaking to every agent/owner I can find! It's been a lot of practice, a lot of different scenarios. Finally got my first two pending responses. I know it's not a contract or anything (YET) but it's a start! It's actually a really fun learning experience and I have no doubts I will be getting deals done in the near future! Wish me luck
Congrats on working hard. Getting out in the field is a great way to build skills. I started on acquisition but switched to dispo. I actually do dispo in Atlanta we should connect. I split jv 70-30% where 70% goes to you and I keep 30% or I can add my fee on top. If the deal doesn't work for my buyers I will give you some feedback and not just disappear. Feel free to message me.

Jealous you're off to New Zealand! How amazing! I try to automate as much as you can so you don't have to worry about time zones, etc. Best of luck!
Yea time zones is something I have thought about. I am not 100% on NZ I am also looking at Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Australia. I am thinking it wouldn't be that much different than being out of state outside of the time zones. I live in Missouri and work in the ATL market.

Quote from @Kerry Baird:
We were military and stationed in Europe for many years. It seems to me that your favorite title company would be the best resource for solving a lot of your closing processes. So much can be automated, as you know.
I'm going to put a word in for living abroad...and I can't think of a more beautiful place than NZ. I thought that I could wholesale while in England, but the banks hold the deeds, so I couldn't do sub2, which was my bread-and-butter for a season. Money was expensive over there and at the time, I didn't know how to get hard money to do rehabs. So I ended up finding houses to buy near bases in the US, and settled on doing LTRs in Texas.
Yea I wouldn't be doing real esate in that other country my business would be based in America. I am not interested in learning the laws and contracts for wholesaling in another country.

I am considering moving to New Zealand in the next 2 years to live permanently, but I do real esate wholesaling in the ATL market. I have some ideas on how I could do this from the other side of the world, but I would be curious in some other best practices for those who have done real estate from a substantial distance. For context haha Auckland NZ is 8,100 miles away from ATL. Thanks in advance.

Quote from @Michael Dumler:
@Cameron Chambliss, primarily focus on creating a system for connecting with property owners and sourcing deals rather than establishing your end buyer list. You can do both simultaneously, but the former is much more challenging than the latter. If you have a quality deal under contract, souring an end buyer is not as difficult as you may think. There is a plethora of investors and flippers in metro Atlanta who are hungry for a good deal. Research and familiarize yourself with PropStream. The platform is widely used amongst wholesalers to source deals.
I agree. I use cash comps as the first people I look to sell wholesale deals to.
