I have near zero experience with any rehabbing work so I'm considering getting a builder's license to save costs. What's the best way to leverage said license?

what about wholesaling? Do you guys recommend it or do you think I could put the $2,000 into my agency advertising for better returns based on the numbers.

Hi all,

I'm trying to crack into the real estate business. I have a real estate license in Michigan and $2,000. Where do you guys think I should start?

I'm screening them for motivation but I don't know what I'm screening for. I guess what I'm asking is how do you qualify who is a prime candidate as a seller in this market.

Hey all,

I started a campaign recently (again if some of you guys read my old post on postcards.) and I've been getting calls but having a hard time screening them to see if they're worth my time.

What do you guys look for in an absentee homeowner deal before you go further with a seller?

Thanks for all the input guys.

@Cody Alexander I would never have guessed that kind of postcard would do the most business. Why do you think it does so well?
 

@Justin Silverio Do you have any suggestions or advice to help the mail-piece stand out?Also, how do you scrub your lists?

@Account Closed Do you believe 1,000 is a good number to start and maintain monthly?

That's a very good point. Is it worth the effort?

The postcards are below.

I went with a marketing campaign of 500 postcards. The list was composed from listability and included the following traits. 

properties in Oakland County

Owners live Out of Area – anywhere in the US except Oakland county.

Omit property known to be purchased after 2000

High equity and unknown

Hi all,

I recently started a mailing campaign and it bombed pretty hard. I know that the first campaign is not going to be the most fruitful.

I went with a mailing list to out-of-state buyers who have little to no debt. Didn't even get a single call. What do you believe went wrong and how can I improve future campaigns 

Is it possible to wholesale foreclosed property? I've seen a lot of people stress pre-foreclosure over foreclosure. Anyone here build a business around foreclosed real estate?
