Thanks for that info, @Trevor Mauch. I've been poking around your website and scheduled a call for tomorrow to check it out. 

Depending on your long term strategy, I'd say renting out the house you already own out right would be the best option. Consider the fees associated with selling it. On the flip side, if you keep it and have to finance your next home, you'll be paying near 7% interest. 

Those of you using Resimpli, Carrot, and the like for your website. How have you handled SEO? Where is your site landing in Google Search results? I'm trying out Resimpli and I know SEO is a long term game. Trying to decide if I should use Resimpli or a stand alone website to funnel leads.

Are there any wholesalers in your area you can connect with? If you don't have time to look for "deals" yourself they will for a cut of the profit.

Hi Bryce - I'm working on that right now. I've contacted and met with several agents and investors to try and build that network. No luck thus far. I've been to our local REIA as well. I have no problem sharing the profit if someone else is doing the legwork to find the deals.

I was in the same boat. Couldn't get CPAs to return my calls. Landed on Melvin Bibb Pinson & Segars PC and they've been great so far. 

Anyone want to share what areas of North Alabama they're having success in finding deals for F&F or Wholesaling? 

So how is everyone finding distressed properties in 2025?

- Any luck finding deals on the MLS?

- Any luck with direct mail? 

A lot of the information I'm finding on here when searching is very outdated. I have a limited marketing budget of about $5k and need to make every dollar count. I work full time so I don't have a lot of time to cold call and door knock.

@Jerryll Noorden - That's great. I wasn't debating the merits of PPC vs. organic SEO, just asking about your strategy. Obviously organic SEO is always better because it's free, but it takes time to build. I think a lot of wholesalers focus on PPC looking for quick gains but it ends up being a money pit. 

FB/IG ads are a different story. I wouldn't even compare them to PPC ads. 

 I know you weren't. Was just trying to be funny. Guess that didn't work.

indeed SEO takes time. And it's worth it... Obviously

@Jerryll Noorden do you hire a service to focus on SEO for you or are you putting out content to do this organically?

I'm looking for tips from experienced flippers.

I've always wanted to invest in real estate, so I've been saving. I have finally reached my financial goal and would like to start soon. I plan to do start slow and pay cash.

I work a full time job, so I do not plan to do the work myself. I plan to use a contractor.

I haven't started with anything yet. I'm doing my homework. I know I need to meet with an attorney and a CPA to make sure I structure everything correctly. Can anyone offer other advice? Maybe things you wish you had known before you started?

Thanks all!
