STILL NO RESUTLS/ BUYERS LIST

All I can say is change what you are doing! Try different wording and ad locations. Use bandit signs to attract buyers. Call on all the bandit signs and for rent signs you see. Go to every REI club meeting and event you can find.

Get out and find evaluate and put wholesale properties under contract. You will be surprised how many people you meet when you get out on the street! I always say, what good does it do to have 500 buyers when you have nothing to sell or have no idea how to acquire them. Learning what a real deal really is takes some time. Any one on this site that has gone from theory to buying and selling RE for a profit will agree. I*f you can produce REAL WHOLESALE DEALS the buyers will come to you!

You didn't mention if you made any phone calls. Have you tried doing that?
Are you putting your phone number (google voice or otherwise) in your marketing?
Even in this day and age of email & texting, people would rather call to make an initial contact with somebody.

Meeting people is the best way to get things done.

Go out and canvass areas you want to work, look up 'For Rent' and 'For Sale by Owner' signs, leave flyers in supermarkets, laundromats, etc.

Face to face interaction is still the best way to make things happen.

Have you ever thought about trying car magnets or vinyl letters on your car? Or, Mobile (Text) Marketing? What about bumper stickers? Ads on bench seats, school buses, buses in general, and yes, bandit signs? Ooooo... post-it note ads ~ also fairly cheap & inexpensive & works well if you have a property to sell (so I've heard).

What does the ad say?

Get out there and meet REAL people. Talk about your real estate plans, goals and dreams to everyone you know. Leave business cards with everyone and show your enthusiasm. Not bragging, but I often go into unknown cities and acquire property easily. Sure, 30 years of doing it makes it easier, but that's not the point. My plans are always to make money with everybody I meet and work with and I show them how it's done. You need to show your contacts the same enthusiasm. And as MM said above; change your strategy. Think outside the box. As Albert Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."

Johnny,
attend a REI meeting in your area; you will meet investors there; make sure you take a bunch of business cards with you, and make it a goal to exchange a minimum number of cards, and every time you get a card, you ask the investor if you can call him when you come across a great deal; if they say yes, then you ask them what their last deal was... now you know what to look for...

wishing you success,
Valerie

My friend you just need a diffrent direction. Meet other investor at your local investment clubs, tell them you are great at finding buyer and If I were to bring you a buyer would you be willing to pay me 30% of the down payment of 5% to 10% your buyer have for deposits. If they agree get on the craig list and post ads like crazy. There is no way you can miss. Find investor with property they cant move or there realtor cant find buyers.Get your business cards out and pass them out. I post ads like NO Bank Needed. 4 bed 2 bath call me. 333-3333. if that dont get your phone ringing I dont know what to tell you. Me and my wife did this just to get are feet wet, and it also lead to us learning what market value homes would sell for and where investor were buying there homes. Drive for dollars looking for homes to buy. Place signs at vacant lots or anywhere. My sign read home for sale
No bank Needed. Call Me. My phone rings off the hook with buyer who have cash. one word of caution placing signs on vacant houses will get you a phone call from a realtor who just listed the vacant home so who keep that in mine. It took me and my wife 8 month before we made a dime. Now 2 years later 7 homes I purchased and 22 homes sold last year for other investors and 19 this year so far. I buy houses and my wife sells them owner finance no banks needed. Keep coming on this site and going to your local REI club and also find someone to mentor you along the way. I found someone Who showed me more advanced way to buy property. Just keep doing something every day until you see the results.

Put it on craigslist. That could help your postings, too. If they have something to look at with your contact info, that's even better. All of the above posts are great, too! Be a people magnet, and network!

In Deans 30 Days To Real Estate Cash he has the letter specifics on page 61 and the link where you can find the full text of this and other ready to be slightly tweaked and mailed letters is www.deangraziosi.com/powerletters, but the general idea of what you're going to be saying is this:

"Hi, Mr. Buyer. I'm (your name). I want to let you know that I have a unique marketing strategy and knack for buying properties cheaper and better than anyone else around. I see that you're a buyer in this area.

What I'd like to do is to contact you through email every time I find a deal that fits your criteria. If this interests you, email me, call me or text me."

FYI: I did my own version of the letter and sent it to 40 cash buyers. One responded. I call that a great success. I have 150 more to go out for a different area and this time will be using Dean's words almost exactly. I'm excited to see what that brings. And if I only get 3 buyers I will celebrate. By the way, if you ask most will tell you they really only work with a handful of buyers. More is better but don't be dissapointed that you only get one at a time. Two a week is what Dean suggests you aim for. You can do it!

Another thing I did with my buyers list is to map the properties they bought. That way, I can see where they are buying and offer them properties in the areas they are already familiar with.

Hope this helps. Keep going and don't be discouraged. It's like putting together a puzzle. You are getting all the pieces and soon you will see the whole picture.

Another source available to you is a local realtor. On the MLS there is search criteria they can access to obtain cash buyers information. Keep in mind not all realtors know how to do that, and not every cash buyer is an investor, but it's still great resource. Be selective.

As with everything in life, you will get more bites by going out and simply talking about it...to anyone and everyone that will listen. Talk to friends, family, acquaintances, strangers, people in line at the grocery store etc. don't limit who and where you talk about it. Attend investment clubs, and hand out those cards, and get cards and/or contact information in return. Never leave an investment club meeting empty handed.

You can also go to local auctions. Be careful with your approach as an investor isn't there to meet people, they're there to purchase property. Just let them know what a great asset you are, and try to schedule a time to discuss things in more detail.

Don't get discouraged. Remember the reward will be well worth the effort.

Try calling FOR RENT ADS to look for buyers. Get some bandit signs.

what is the actual wording you are using on your ads? try putting your ad out on www.linkedin.com. i had a student who was facing same problem you are and when she advertised there, things changed for the better for her. try networking with investor buyers on www.biggerpockets.com or www.meetup.com. these might be some great sites to use as an alternative to your efforts.

Ok, I,m terrible with computers, so I'm just learning about this site. I have been in this program 11 months now, 2 deals done,,,, first one I lost $7000.00 due to lack of info from advisory line,, second one was a quick assignment for $1000.00 . I also have made the phone calls, ads on 5 web sites for 6 months ( never one call ) flyers, REI clubs, and everything the program says. The only thing that has worked was bandit signs, but at this time I am so broke, I don;t have money to buy more,,, or pay the rent and utilities, so before I end up homeless, does anyone have ideas on what I can do to make this work,,,, with ABSOLUTELY NO money, I don't even have gas at this point to run around and look at props,

I do believe this will work, but I'm really having a hard time trying to figure out how, and what to do now that there is no money left ???

Thanks for any help !!!

Stop spending money and start earning money. Do what works. Stick with your bandit signs.

There is People out there that will Lean you the money,Yes you have to give it back with a % but thats where you have to make sure the deal is good enough to pay back your loan and make money...Also Go on LinkedIn and start Networking..If you Find a Good Source With Property ask If you can Shop his Property to Make Money..There is Always a Way To Make Money..Nobody Said It was Going to be Easy..Im Not That New and Im still On the phone and Computer from Morning to Night Until I fine my Groove Thats When Things Will start Working Smoothing and You Wont Have to Work As Much.

Real Estate Investment Clubs are my favorite way to connect with Buyers. With the clients that I work with MOST of their buyers lists are built from networking with investors through the investment clubs. Bandit signs work and also calling landlords - "for rent" signs.

Your buyers list is the foundation for your wholesaling business - it is an ongoing process - don't ever stop!

good luck!
