Originally posted by @Kelli Voorhis:

I have a couple basic questions for some seasoned wholesalers.  My husband and I bought our first rental a few weeks ago and are preparing for our first tenant.  We are excited about the idea of real estate investing but are wanting to develop a system where we can get some leads to begin flipping homes and also buying rentals at cheaper margins, with more equity.  We are not looking for to start up a huge business but want to start a smallish direct mail and internet marketing campaign.  Which would hopefully lead us to a couple deals a month.  (our budget is 1000-1500 a month).

First question, what are some good lead types to begin with?  Also, its a big question but should I use yellow letters or some other lettering service?

Second, and my question that I really am confused on, is how do I run a successful small scale wholesaling business while working a full time job?  What are some good systems I can build to make all this a little simpler?  

The major problem with your area is it is a nondisclosure state which makes it hard to get "niche specific leads". You're best to use service like rebogateway.com or http://www.realacquisitions.com/retainer/,

List to target: Vacant properties with high equity, probate, tax delinquency of 2 or more years, absentee owners in your farm area, and "empty Nestors (65+ with 15 years ownership and 90-100% equity".

Personally I would avoid the PPC route for your area. Your going to be spending close to 30-50 per one click and it normally takes 10 clicks to get one lead (so now your at $300-$500 just for a phone call)

Best of luck!

Here are the list we recommend. I would pick 2 or 3 and go from there. Remember money is in the follow up.

1. Probate- get from county or state (just google what court handles these cases and call to find out)

2. Evictions

3. 2 or more years late on taxes, then run it through my software to find the vacants. Find who handles your the taxes and then file a Right To Know (if applicable)

4 60, 90 days late on mortgage

5. Notice of default (foreclosure).. constantly stay in their ear , from start to finish.

6. discharged/dismissed bankruptcy cases (get from pacer)

7.Tax lien sale- published in legal news papers when auctions come up

8. Divorce- get from court

9. 25+ years owned or more for owner occupants with equity (list-source)

10. Code Violations

11. Vacant properties (drive for dollars)

12. absentee owners 3-5 years owned (most landlords sale after the first 2 years, and with prices climbing its a perfect list)

13. inherited properties: some states do not require heirs to go through probate if the will was recorded prior to death. these properties are sold through under a special deed

14. Expired listings.

Just curious on what others' cost per a lead is for sellers? And on average how leads does it take do you to get one deal.

@James Green Thanks for reaching out. We will be offering handwritten postcards later this week. We are in the process of completely overhauling the site, that is why it is very basic.

If you take advantage of the offer above I will give you the list for for FREE! Simply just send me a list of 20 zip codes (or just a county) and I will pull the list. We do not sell the list to more than more one investor. 

I look forward to working with you.

Best,

Shane
