Post: What's the best way to build your Cash Buyers list?

If you actually have "amazing" deals then it shouldn't be a problem finding real cash buyers. There is NO secret when trying to build a buyers list....you have to get out and network...network....and network 24/7/365 days a year! If your not going to weekly REI meetings and picking up the phone and calling people and trying to track down referrals that would be my starting point. It takes months to build a good list which is why consistency is usually what ends up paying off or the same reason why most people quit.

Instead of asking for help, why don't you list the things you could potentially add value too an investor? Find out all the things an investor does on a daily basis and figure out a way to help them by adding value. You need to figure those things out on your own..... Also, wholesaling and fix n flip are 2 very different things....you really need to have a plan and understand what is what. All you have to do is look all over the forums and you will find hundreds of people asking for the same thing you are.....my advice is do something that makes you stand out from the crowd.  How can you add value from home with no experience? You have to be able to answer that question if you want to find help. Just my 2 cents...

@Nate Feldman I'm a local investor and very active wholesaler in the Philadelphia county. Feel free to contact me if you would like for me to add you to our buyers list. We just sold a property in that area and do get them from time to time.

Yeah you have to spend money to create a marketing plan and then market to those potential "sellers". Wholesaling is a sales and marketing business.... You gotta spend money to make money. You can also network, drive for dollars, make phone calls etc etc

Ian, You only need your license if your planning on becoming a real estate agent..... Has nothing to do with investing for flipping! I would recommend some more research on your!

Unless your gonna do your own marketing then I suggest you link up with a few local wholesalers in your area.

Your not going to find wholesale deals on any websites...list source is just a way to look for potential people who "might" want to sell. If your trying to wholesale there is no way around it.... You have to spend money to make money... Without a marketing budget getting leads will be next to impossible

Cost can depend on many factors including the area of the house, what type of rehab are you gonna do (cheap vs. high end). It can be as cheap as $40 a sq foot all the way up to $120 a sq ft for higher end rehabs. If you don't understand conscription cost its gonna be difficult. Also, the only way to really run comps is through the MLS....so either get your own licence so you can run comps or your gonna have to buddy up with a local agent who's willing to help.

I would not recommend wholesaling unless you are really good at sales and marketing and also have a marketing budget. Start by going to your local REI meetings and networking and keep educating yourself.
