Looking forward to the conversations ahead!

Each stage answers one question in the buyer or seller’s mind and points to the next step.Why it matters:Consistent lead flow: traffic turns into conversations on purpose, not by luck.Better lead quality: offers and messages match the right stage.Less wasted time: you focus on people who are moving forward.Easy to measure: you can see where the drop-offs happen and fix them.How to Do It RightStep 1: Define one audience and one outcome – Pick buyers or sellers, and choose one clear goal.

Right now wholesalers are mainly doing:SMS TextingCold CallingDirect Mail / PostcardsThe “next level” is PPL (Pay-Per-Lead) through lead generation companies, so you’re only paying for conversations that raise their hand.Most people start by pulling lists of sellers in distress (pre-foreclosure, tax liens, probate, divorce, etc.) and then stacking those lists so you’re not just hitting one pain point but several.On top of that, a few other things are working well right now:PPC / Google Ads – motivated sellers often search “sell my house fast” before answering cold outreach.Facebook/Instagram Ads with strong local targeting.Driving for Dollars apps (batchdriven, dealmachine) paired with skip-tracing to hit niche properties others might miss.Follow-up systems – 70% of deals come from nurturing leads over time, not just first contact.What seems less effective today:Bandit signs (cities are cracking down, saturation is high).Generic postcard campaigns without a targeted or consistent follow-up strategy.Mass cold email (deliverability has dropped a lot).The real key is consistency + multi-channel.

Happy to keep the conversation going!

@Ibrahim Mawri I've not worked on car washes specifically but have been a part of ground up builds or conversions, and in general its all going to be site and local dependent.You don't want to just get an understanding of the zoning, but also to your point any new, or changed regulations triggered by the repurpose. 

Once that is done, I would love to continue the conversation for the remaining steps.I appreciate any feedback you can offer.

Hi - Getting closer to my first investment and have started talking to these two companies which have all been positive conversations. 

We keep them conversational, and rather roundtable in format.

There are certainly a lot of benefits that the OBBA brings to MA residents who are looking to acquire a STR.The first conversation you want to have with your accountant is what you need to do to treat the property as active instead of passive(if that is what you are looking to achieve).The other benefit of the OBBA is the increased ability to write off state and local taxes as part of the itemized deduction.Best of luck to you in your search!
