How's it going,

I have recently been driving for dollars and getting addresses. To find their numbers I have been using Fast People Search but majority of the phone numbers that are displayed with the addresses are wrong or disconnected. I am about to drive around with ready post cards but I would rather cold call. Any other ideas or websites that have displayed accurate information for phone numbers?

House Hacking at it's finest. How are you planning on marketing for renters?

I have been given the opportunity to tie a buyer to a new friend of mines open ended whole sale contract. I am in the area and he is not. The property has potential, but is not selling. After viewing the property I’ve concluded to make the property sell better, or get more attention it would need some light landscaping, I would have to talk to the neighbors regarding a locked gate on a walk way in an easement, and a full set of new photos would need to be taken. I am writing this because it seems like I’m rehabbing a rehab property and I’m just not sure if it’s efficient or worth my time. I’d appreciate any input thank you!

I agree with @Aaron K. that the fastest way to build your investor list is to have killer deals.

Regarding getting more investor eyeballs, are you posting your deals here in the Marketplace? That would be a great start!

Really apreciate your response! 

My issue there is that I do not have a pro or plus account and do not have the funds yet to invest my advertisement of deals. Again thank you, and if you had any other input id apreciate it!

Hey I'm also 20 I have looked into this a bit. id suggest you look into creative financing or bigger pockets podcasts on that topic because doing it with no money is definitely feasible. Hopefully, that puts you in a good direction.

Hey, Aaron we really appreciate the response. How do you suppose I get my deals out to a wider audience that isn't in the Humboldt area? I've been reaching out to all the cash buyers in the Humboldt area. it is a unorthodox community here in Humboldt where people have a lot of cash on hand and are buying houses in cash, but they are not investors which is diluting my search on the MLS. If it only really comes down to the quality of the deal how do you suppose I get more eyes in regards to investors seeing my deals?

I am 19 undergrad and my brother is 21 graduated currently working on this in Humboldt county which is as north as you can get in California. we have been extensively educating ourselves for the last 5 months and are looking to get hands-on experience through the method of wholesaling. The current block in the road is our investor list. In the beginning, we assumed the lack of competition here would benefit us, while it has in regards to sellers our investor list is still very small. If anyone can give advice on what direction we should go in id appreciate any input. Thank you!
