Driving for dollars and hitting open houses is exactly how a lot of investors get started, just keep at it, and the right deal will land.

If you want to chase amazing deals, you need to really do some heavy marketing (cold calling, mailers, door knocking, driving for dollars, etc.) 

@Elijah SantiagoElijah, great to see your drive—most people never even make it to this starting point.

That’s exactly the kind of mindset that drives meaningful progress.

You're already doing the work most wholesalers have to pay for (driving for dollars), so you're in a prime position to scale up.The challenge you're facing with "small-time" investors is very common.

And that uncertainty is what is driving the sluggish sales and not oversupply and the constant building from a city permitting process and economic lobby determined to ignore the fact that Austin never did have the fundamentals to support even 1/10th of the hype around it.

The team lead is great at driving in business, but needs help in doing preapprovals and clearing underwriting conditions.

If contractor is not getting material, try getting material shipped to project if people are there every day, decreases drive time for materials and slows the project2.

People wanting to be investors and having no capital somehow all want to believe they can be successful “driving for dollars” or “putting up 10 signs”.  

I’ve seen situations where added title work, surveys, or certain prepaid items push the percentage up, but it’s worth asking your closing agent for a full breakdown so you can see exactly what’s driving it.
