Ways to Build Your Wholesale Buyer's List

17 ways to build your wholesale buyers list:

• Call the “For Rent” “lease option” “renovated” ads in the newspaper, craigslist, backpage, kijiji, etc.
• Call the “For Rent” signs that are handwritten that you see hiding behind the bushes:)
• Call the “We buy houses” people.
• Market for another wholesaler by using a Flex Option.
• Have a property under contract!!
• Go to a real estate Auction – see who the cash buyers are.
• Call the section 8 office in your city, and property managers – find out who’s buying.
• Get a deal under contract, make sure your hard money lenders know about it, their buyers need to buy so the lender can make money.
• Your local REIA meetings. Nothing takes the place of talking and shaking hands. .
• Use Social Media!! Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, BiggerPockets, RealEstateInvestor.Com, REIClub.com.
• Post an ad in Craigslist saying you have properties 30%-50% of retail value. Send them to your site or squeeze page.
• Make a solid contact with a Realtor that will search the MLS for cash buyers within the last 6 months.
• Go to events that are geared towards real estate, hard money, financing.
• Search in Google, Yahoo, Bing, Facebook, Twitter “Sell houses fast”, “We buy houses”. Typically in Google you will get the first page of national wholesalers or lead capture services. Page 2 is where you will start seeing genuine sites that are typically real deal investors.
• Contact you’re power team members such as your title agent, attorney, insurance agent, buyers real estate agents, bird dogs. Just start talking away, and the word can spread quick.
• Become internet savvy. Create a website with a squeeze page on it. Work on making your site SEO friendly. If you use WordPress, there are SEO plugins that are awesome. Just search SEO plugins for WordPress. A couple that I like are SEO smart links, and SEO friendly images.
• You can purchase a list of landlords and absentee owners from Listsource or Realquest. Contact them via direct mail or call them. I have not used this approach but heard it works.
