Has anyone used door hangers as a marketing strategy and tracked your response rate? Or even have a general opinion about your estimated response rate? Best of all, have you done this in conparison to direct mail? I'm really considering trying this.
If you have ever ordered them can you recommend a company to purchase from or if you've had a negative experience with a particular company please let me know. I would prefer to order online and would like to use a premade template. Thank You

I am planning to take the offer letter a step further and actually send a contract with my offer price. Pretty aggressive but I think it will work in some cases.

I've read some stories and even spoken to a few people briefly who said they got their start in wholesaling through land instead of houses. This was kind of interesting to me, but I hadn't really looked into it too much until now. My husband and I just got a call from a guy who has 25,000 sqft of land he is wanting to sell in North Houston Area.
Q 1: As a wholesaler, how do I determine the numbers on this? Do I still use recent, local sales of vacant land? This particular land does include utilities, so how do I fact that in? How do I know what to pay per sqft vs what I can sell it for?
Q 2: Who are primary buyer for things like this? Retail or commercial? How do I find these buyers for something like this?
Post: Texas Real Estate Income Tax

My husband and I are closing our first 2 wholesale deals soon. I'm wondering what to do about gov taxes on the income we receive. Do we hire a CPA? Or is it still simple enough that most people can still handle themselves?
Should I just stick back a certain % of each deal for taxes? Maybe do some investing with it during the year to make more money on what I will give to the gov later?
What do you do?
Since we started marketing in January, we have kept receipts of expenses. Anything else we should be doing to help ourselves out come tax time next year?
Anyone have any recommendations as far as tax professionals in the North or East parts of Houston? Maybe someone I can go speak with that can really sit down with me and go over things?
Thank you all in advance!

We type everything just personalize the name and address inside. We use bright colored paper and fold it to the shape of an envelope. Put a piece of scotch tape and hand write the address and return address.

I need in on the marketing skills. We have two properties due to close in the next couple of weeks. But our leads have slowed down drastically. @Jerry Puckett whatever your doing I want in.

The fast way cost a bit at yellowletters.com. Any other way is going to be very time consuming but cheaper on your pocket. We use a Template and put in owners name to personalize it. But we print them up.

I would guess it's wiped out. Just guessing though. Great question.
