Hey man, just watched your interview in Fox Web School. I'm wondering what part of Washington you live in? I'm in Olympia and wanted to chat, maybe we could grill up some burgers or hit a round of golf or something like that. I'd love to hear your opinion on some things.

Hey John, how many leads do you get from Craigslist? And how do you run the Craigslist ads if you still do?

Thank you brotha!

Hello, I just read through your whole lawn care thread and I had a question on how you market selling your contracts through passing out flyers and craigslist ads. Do you find it best to say on the flyer that you are selling a package service that includes mowing, aeration, and flower bed weeding, etc? I am just wondering how you are pitching your contract service on the flyer/ads. Thank you so much

ok cool.
Most of my deals came from the tax delinquent list. But I had lots of luck merging two separate lists. Merge the tax delinquent with the vacant list, for example.
Oddly, most of my BUYERS were found from putting out bandit signs: "must sell. 3br/1 ba $20k Cash". Lots of investors called from those signs.

I remember a new wholesaler bragging to me that he was driving for dollars, looking for vacant houses. He had no clue the weekend earlier I uploaded 20,000 addresses into smarty streets and ended up getting 600 back as vacant. Took less than 30 minutes. And this poor guy was driving around looking for one house at a time.

Anyway, hope this helps.

You can use skiptracing services like TLO.com to find the 'missing' owners cell phone number, but I don’t know if they offer bulk appending of cell phone numbers (I did it one by one...ugh).

Step 3. Download the spreadsheet back from smarty streets and it will have new columns added to it with a bunch of new info. One of those columns will tell you whether each of your addresses are occupied or VACANT (according to the postal service). As you know vacants are huge money makers for wholesalers.

Step 2. Take that spreadsheet and upload it into smartystreets.com. They somehow contracted with the postal service to get their data. So, you upload your spreadsheet of addresses into smartystreets, click 'process' and it appends new information to each address.

Thanks. Well, that is some good sharing. Here is a nugget to repay you....if it helps.

Step 1. Get a list of all the addresses in city/county (from public websites, from county assessors offices, from GIS websites, or even from real estate agents).

Hey, I used to wholesale too. How are you getting the phone numbers to call ugly house owners (as mentioned in your recent slybroadcast post)?

Hey man, I couldn't figure out how to private message you. I am the one interested in your sales funnel on your website. My email is dpalermo45@gmail.com if you wanted to reach me that way. Thank so much!
