One thing that keeps coming up is this:👉 You don’t just need “a loan” — you need the right funding strategy for your deal.Here are a few examples of what I help investors think through:✔️ Bridge terms for short-term projects✔️ Equity-based funding options✔️ Strategic placement with trusted lenders (not just generic loan origination)Every investor and every deal is different, and the funding approach should reflect that.Curious to hear from the group: How do you decide which funding strategy to pursue for a particular project?

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.

It appears to be consistent with the (albeit generic) analysis provided on the BP property search for the Cities. 

Obviously, each property varies so greatly that's a big generic scenario. 

They wouldn't be coming to you.So you can get a gold standard investment advisor and give up .5 to 2% of your return, or you can send the money to one or more huge index funds like Vanguard 500 index fund and sleep well at night.But if you think you have something of value other than the generic value of money, you will be sorely disappointed.

I have negotiated a contract down to get it to be right in line based off of his super generic numbers that only be and his team deem a deal.

The problem was that the data was too broad and generic.

I add this because when you refer to "agreements," do you mean specific Security Agreements, or are you speaking generically?

If the email tone feels generic, robotic, or out of touch, especially in the context of a company already providing bad service then it can make tenants feel like they’re just another number.

The guru's that promise to teach you the secrets are often packaging generic information and selling it at phenomenal markup to people that want to get started but often do not have the resources to start and the fee they are charged simply puts them further behind.
