Real estate is full of surprises, and every deal seems to teach something new. For me, one of the most unexpected lessons was realizing how essential follow-up is especially in situations where the seller initially seemed uninterested. I once had a lead who ghosted me for months, only to text back later ready to sell because circumstances had changed. That single follow-up turned into a deal I almost gave up on.

I’d love to hear from you all. What’s the most unexpected or unconventional lesson you’ve learned on your real estate journey?

I really like how you’re staying conservative while being open to future opportunities.If you’re ever curious about land deals, SMS marketing has been a game-changer for connecting with motivated sellers quickly especially for land where the leads can be less emotional and more transactional.

That sounds like a smart strategy, Michael @Michael S.

 Makes sense

@James McGovern, that sounds like a well-targeted strategy! How are you typically generating leads for those foreclosure properties? Do you lean more on SMS, cold calling, direct mail, or something else entirely to reach pre-foreclosure sellers? Would love to hear what’s been working for you!

SMS Marketing is still one of the most effective channels for lead generation in wholesaling!

Instead of immediately running numbers, try to engage the sellers more before giving an offer. Call the lead and never throw offers on texts. 

If you're open to it, I’d be happy to connect and share some additional insights based on campaigns that have worked well for others. SMS marketing is powerful, but small adjustments can make a huge difference!

Holding can definitely be risky with the current market conditions. Out of curiosity, are you focusing more on quick flips or other short-term strategies to mitigate that risk?

Hey folks,

With all the market shifts happening this year; rising rates, more inventory, and tighter margins. I’m curious:

What’s been your best-performing strategy so far in 2025? Are you focusing on wholesaling, flipping, buy-and-hold, or something else entirely?

For me, I’ve seen a surprising spike in interest for land deals lately; less competition, faster closings. But I’d love to hear from you:

What’s working for you, and where are you finding the best opportunities?
