If you are looking for wholesale buyers to add to your buyers list, you need many different sources.
Here are my top five choices.
- Look in the newspaper (Yep, this IS the FIRST spot to look) Crazy eh? It also requires you to do a little grunt work. i.e. you have to buy a paper and look for the 5-10 people that are actually advertising. Then... gasp... you have to call them or go to their website. Get over yourself and get this done. Maybe you will spend 30-60 minutes contacting these folks. One thing I did when I was first starting out was grab several back copies of the local paper. Then I was able to go through and see who was advertising a "We Buy Houses" type of ad. If they are advertising, there's a pretty darn good chance that they are actively buying right now.
- Place an ad on Craigslist in the closest major city near the property you are looking for. Be sure to put a phone number and preferably a website address that someone can look at to learn more about you. Don't let the website thing stop you though. You DO NOT need one when youare just starting out. However, it's like a resume when you go on a job interview. If you have one, people WILL be more impressed and see that you are serious about this business. You can start out with just a blogger.com site or some other site. You want to get to a point where you have your own domain name and your own e-mail address for branding purposes. THis makes you look MUCH more professional. If you have invested the time and money in this aspect of your business, it shows that you are not as likely to be some fly by night company.
- Get some bandit signs. Go to http://banditsigns.com
- Get business cards. You can grab them free at http://VistaPrint.com Post your business cards on community bulletin boards.
- Print some eye-catching flyers with Tear-off tabs at the bottom with your contact info. Do NOT use white. It will blend in way to easily with everything else. I recommend bright yellow with black letters. People will likely grab your business cards first, but the tear tabs will be there when your cards are gone.
