Hey everyone, if you haven’t already, check out JP’s blog. He commented right above this one.

His blog has some great content and resources.

Number 3 is exactly how I built my buyers list initially – placed a phantom ad, and BLAMO…lots of calls from other investors, hungry for deals.

Also a great follow-up tip from Dusty in his comment.

Don’t forget when you talk to potential buyers to find out what their focus is…are they rehabbers? landlords? Those are preferable to other wholesalers…although other wholesalers can often help you sell a deal for a piece of the action.

Anyways, good stuff!

8. Go to the Annual Tax Sale in Your Area

Every year, if property taxes aren’t paid by a certain date, each county has a tax sale where investors can bid on properties.

These events are typically flooded with investors. Make sure you take plenty of biz cards.

Here’s an extra tip: Tax sales can also be a great way to diversify yourself in real estate related investments. Talk to someone at your local county courthouse to find out how tax sales work in your state.

Charles,
Glad to hear that building a strong buyer’s list is your primary objective right now. Having one can prove to be extremely valuable.

Also, I think that wholesaling is a great entrance strategy into real estate. Good luck with it!

This is one of my primary objective is to build a strong buyers list.

Thanks

I agree 100% on your idea of getting the marketing of other investors when you visit a home owner. I collected over 25 letters once from one seller – and added several names to my buyers list from this and gained some good ideas for marketing.

Thanks

7. Get a list of evictions that have been filed.

Often times these landlords are great to put on your wholesale buyer’s list but also to see if they are interested in selling any properties. Burned out landlords can be a good source of motivated sellers.

Definitely. We have a big file where we collect other investors marketing. Over the years, we’ve used it for networking purposes but also to get marketing ideas for our stuff.
