Melissa's Journey

Hello everyone,

I have been reading everyone's journey for a long time now. I think it's about time I make a journal of my own just so I can motivate myself and hear from other DGers. I want to do wholesales and finder's fee.

I have tried a couple of things in the past as far as far as finding motivated sellers. And I can say that some things does not work in my area.

bandit signs= had to take my signs down due to complaints & violation of city codes

craigslist=swamp with investors & RE agents

thrifty nickel=had ppl called but mostly had no equity, located in areas that my buyers weren't interested (but I'm keep trying this method)

calling For Rents signs=most of them are investors in my area

OK. So those are the things that I have tried. Now, what I have not tried is door knocking and cruising for yard sales. I think the reason is that I'm afraid to talk to people face to face. Yikes. I know I shouldn't be. But that's my fear and I'm gonna have to get over it.

I do not have problem finding buyers. They are everywhere. I found them on craiglist and in REI clubs. What I will do next:

-get expired listings( send them a letter)
-cruising for yard sales this weekend

Ok it's past midnight. I'm going to sleep. Goodnight.
