Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

Im was just sitting thinking about better marketing strategies and then it came to me that I never heard of any wholesalers using Ebay to market their deals. Is there a reason behind this? I looked at the requirements and theres a listing fee around 100 bucks (depending on how long you want the ad to stay active). My questions for more experienced wholesalers is- Is it really worth it? Would I have to be the actual owner to post on Ebay?

Yesterday I read an recent forum by one of the DG coaches about overseas investors from New Zealand buying up rentals in Memphis, Tennessee like theres no tommorrow. That inclined me to do some online research on what countries are spending the most money on U.S. property and WHERE particular countries have interest in. Due to my vague online research I've come to this conclusion:

Country/- U.S. Interest
New Zealand/- Memphis/Florida
China/- California,Arizona
Canada/- Nevada,California,Arizona
Mexico,Pacific Islands/- Florida,Vegas;(desirable
vacation spots)

Europe/- Entire East Coast

Building your buyers list is critical to wholesaling.
However, you only need a FEW REAL CASH INVESTOR BUYERS.
Check this out.
If you have three real cash investor buyers that want two properties a month each that would be SIX properties a month that you would need to supply.
If your wholesale fee was $3500 each that would be $21,000 a month!!
So once you have a couple of REAL buyers your entire REI business becomes ALL about acquiring DEALS. Now is the time to put your offering and marketing systems into play. 25/1 through your agents, bandit signs, driving for dollars, Tired landlords, expired listings etc etc.
Start making those offers today. Multiple offers, at least two a day should be your goal!

Good Luck Everyone,

I need some help. does any one know of a way to locate the owner or their mailing address for a vacant house? The tax records show the owner's name and the mailing address is the address of the house that has been vacant for about 5 years. I have heard that the owners may have passed away and their son is controlling the house now but I know he does not live there. Does anyone have any ideas of how to find him or his mailing address?

Took Dean's advice...opened a Postlets account. I agree very very professional.

Hey everyone. I created a Google vm and I'm trying to change my greeting. However, the system reverts back to the old greeting when I call that number to listen to my greeting. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Two recently released bits of housing market data are pointing to continued market improvement and a reasonably strong rebound. New home sales jumped in January to the highest level in 4-1/2 years. Continued record low interest rates and some improvement in the jobs situation are acting together to spur this recovery. In December the prices of single family homes had their biggest yearly gain in more than six years.

good morning all. i hope on on the correct forum topic for my question. with that said ill just right into the situation. i have a friend in Indiana who has a complicated issue or at least so it seems. the owner of the property cannot afford the house payment so a family member is paying the mortgage. the problem is that this family member does not wish to continue the payments on the property but the homeowner does not want to lose it.so how can i the investor help this person out? can anyone give me their opinion on options for this kind of situation?...please let me know if there is further information that i need to post about. thank you

Getting ready to prepare my Yellow marketing letters to motivated homeowners. Gonna send out about 50 of them. Should take about 15 mins to print them out in handwritten font on yellow lined paper including envelopes too! If anyone is interested in learning more about this marketing technique, or seeing how I can do this so fast check out yellow letter generator site.

Gotta go. Hope this helps some of you.
