Are you doing 10+ wholesale deals a month consistently?  What lead source are you finding is the best to accomplish this?  

Cold calling? Driving for dollars? Direct mail?  Paid ads?

Crew, how are y'all looking for this Wednesday evening, July 22nd?

Maybe like 7pm or thereabouts?

Beer, coffee, whatever + real estate talk!

Holler back if this Wednesday might be workable!

Brian


 Did this ever happen? The idea was great and needed present day!


 There are a couple different meetups that take place in the Upstate.  They usually get posted in the facebook groups for Greenville Real Estate Investors

Are there any REI networking groups/events in Upstate South Carolina area?

 There are 2 main greenville groups on facebook you can join, there are a couple others like anderson and spartanburg but they are mainly the same people as in the greenville groups.  And as @John Underwood mentioned there is Upstate CREIA.

Your best approach is that you are looking to buy a house in the neighborhood and are wondering if they might be interested in selling.  You don't want to go directly at it as a pre foreclosure, this is a quick way to get them to shut down and not speak to you.  Build rapport, offer solutions, it will eventually come up in conversation.

If you have a solid deal you shouldn't have an issue getting buyers for it. If you are trying to build a buyers list first before having a deal, you could join the local REIA group, meetup .com groups, facebook groups for local investors in georgia, you could look on flat fee listing websites for houses that have been flipped and skip trace the sellers.

There are multiple avenues to get into real estate investing.  Seller financing, subject to, & sandwich lease options are all ways to get into real estate without having to have lots of your own money or even good credit.

use a dialer that rotates through different numbers for you.  You can typically dial 100 a day before getting marked as scam likely.  so if you are calling 700 numbers a day you would need 7 numbers to rotate thru. ninjadialer does this for $49/mo

the flat fee website wont provide the contact, but you can search the homes they have listed that look flipped and look up the owner on the tax website then skiptrace that information

Are you trying to wholesale or are you trying to be a Realtor?  There are specific courses/programs/coaches for getting listings as a Realtor.  I'd look into those if that is what you are trying to accomplish.
