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.

Hi @Druce AsahYour background in technical consulting and automation is fascinating—I am partnering with someone in a current flip that has a similar background in manufacturing.I'm also actively doing flips here in the DFW area, and your points about deal analysis really hit home.

I'm just curious as I wont be managing the properties myself, how are they technically managed ? 

@Eric Wilmot Can you elaborate on this niche investment opportunity/investment strategy?

Anyone else experience technical bugs on here on mobile?

I am very familiar with the industry and have a 4 year degree in RE, so technically can go for my brokers license immediately.

I’m curious how others are approaching this niche in 2025 — especially with housing supply tightening in many markets.

I am seeing a lot of activity in smaller niches.

@Evan O'Brien Which technically you can get a Fannie/Freddie 2nd home loan with just 10% down, good luck finding any workable rate/points.
