I just got my first deal under contract and am starting to send this out to buyers. Should I build a website before sending this deal to buyers?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently underwriting a project in the 45402 zip code (West Dayton) and wanted to tap into the local knowledge here to get a sense of current buyer expectations.

The subject property is a 2 bed / 1 bath. The plan is a full gut rehab (down to studs) with a brand-new roof.

For those of you actively buying or flipping in this area:

• What is your target all-in buy price for a property at this level of finish?
• Are you seeing strong demand for 2/1s, or is the market heavily favoring 3+ bedrooms right now?
• Any specific street-level trends or pockets in 45402 I should be aware of?

Hey everyone, I'm a beginner wholesaler in Milwaukee trying to get my first deal. I've been building my list and cold calling motivated sellers but nothing is converting yet and I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Right now cold calling is basically my only strategy because I don't have the budget for mailers, ads, or a lot of extra software. I'm putting in the work but the results aren't there yet. For those of you who've been in my shoes what actually helped you land that first deal? Some things I'm wondering about Is my script the problem, or is it just a numbers game? How many calls did it take before you got your first lead? Any free or cheap strategies I should add on top of calling? How do you handle sellers who seem interested but then go cold? Not looking for anyone to hold my hand, just real talk from people who've been here. Appreciate any advice.

Hey everyone. There’s some awesome information in this sub and have a big question for the masses, title.

I’m highly motivated and have been at work for almost 2 months learning this business. I’ve got skip traced lists, CRM active, LLC and business entity squared away, and i’m finally ready for outreach. I want sooo badly to achieve real momentum and progress but my fear of calling is holding me back

This week, i sent about 400 emails out so far and returned about 8 replies / 7 rejections. Huge milestone for me but I know cold calling is much more effective. I finally mustered the courage to dial today and made 15, got 1 answer / rejection and got to my KPI after.

I want to become consistent before I start making a million calls or purchase a dialer. Today was a sudden burst of confidence but I want to shift my mindset towards something more sustainable long term. It feels like I hear and understand all the basic advice, stuff like “Doing it is the hardest part”, “It gets easier with time” or “The only way to get better is to do”, but can’t actually apply it myself regardless of the hunger and desire for success that I wake up with every day

Appreciative of any and all perspectives offered here. Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a serious wholesaling partner who’s experienced with finding cash buyers and closing deals.

My strength is lead generation and running ads — I can consistently bring in motivated seller leads. I’m looking to partner with someone who’s solid on the dispositions/closing side so we can work together and scale.

If you’re interested in JV deals and think we’d be a good fit, feel free to message me. Looking forward to connecting with other investors and wholesalers.

Hey wholesalers. I have a list of cash buyers and their buyboxes. If you have any deals currently under contract and would like them closed, comment here!

How do you pay your acquisition team? Salary or completely commission?

Hello,

This may sound stupid but I was wondering if theres anybody that uses American acquisition managers for their business. I’ve heard of people doing this before and they even disposition it for you, but I was wondering if I don’t know this such thing or has any information on it. I have solid FB leads coming in and i’m just thinking of ways to try to capitalize on it

I’m newer to land wholesaling and wanted advice from people experienced with novations.
I may have a couple Florida lots that seem like they could make more sense as a novation/MLS deal instead of a traditional wholesale assignment.
For those who do novations:

What’s the actual process step-by-step?
Is it worth it compared to traditional land wholesaling?
How are you structuring it legally/safely?
Do most sellers/realtors understand it?

Trying to learn the right way before jumping into it. Appreciate any advice.

I am just getting started in wholesaling; where and how can I find investors in Dallas?
How does one go about contacting an investor? I want to identify genuine investors, build a buyer list, and establish long-term relationships.

Hey guys,

For Those who do on market wholesaling to real estate agents, have you asked for emd due after inspection period?

Do they commonly take it?

Hi everyone,

After around 1 year in wholesaling, this is my third month closing 5 deals.

The previous two months I closed 2 deals, so things are starting to look more consistent now.

I’ve been testing a lot of things honestly:
different lead sources, acquisition approach, follow-up, everything.

Still figuring things out, but I feel like I’m finally understanding the process better.

If anyone is struggling with wholesaling, drop your issue in the comments and I’ll try to help if I can.

Hi everyone.

I did a long review of some of the tools I used in a general real estate chat. It may be more useful here:

$10k/month budget is where we started. now, we're at 17k/month. Home base is Appleton/SE Wisconsin including Milwaukee. and Green Bay to the north.

Here's what we found on everything we touched.

MOTIVATED SELLERS

. Started at sub-20% contact rates

. They switched strategy and it got worse. Failed MLS sellers who wouldn't budge on price, plus people who denied filling out forms

. Always pulled 1-2 real sellers per month

. Closed 77% of leads we considered SQOs (Sales Qualified Opportunities) when we called within 5 minutes

. A lot of in-between people doing their own renos chasing top dollar. Not much financial pain in the pool.

. Great customer service. Pretty fair on disputes.

LEADZOLO

. Switched here after Motivated Sellers

. Rough start, then contact rate and lead quality got solid

. About 80% connect rate

. Closing 1 in 10

. Zero "High Motivation Milwaukee" leads (their Google Search product). Every lead came from Meta.

. They charge $450 for a Milwaukee search lead they never deliver

. Their Meta leads are enriched web forms. Seller fills out a contact form, they skiptrace it, you get extra contact data. You can do the same thing on BatchLeads for under a nickel.

. They removed transparency and lumped everything into one product per region.

BATCHLEADS

. Skiptracing for less than $0.05 per record

. Retail comping with pictures and property details

. We use it for list pulling, comps, and skip

INVESTORBASE

. $249/month

. Finds cash buyers within 1-5 miles who closed in the last 2 years

. Full deal history per buyer

. Enough info to open a call, text, or email

. Export to spreadsheet, push into your outreach tool

. Retail comping tool is rough. Picture access and property details lag way behind BatchLeads.

SMRTPHONE

. Native Podio integration. Call, text, record, all inside Podio.

. Friendly customer support

. Call quality gets shaky at times

INSTANTLY

. Strong deliverability

. Pre-warmed email accounts available. Lets you build a full cold email foundation from scratch.

. Run cash buyer lists, build sequences, deploy AI agents

. Subsequences fork the path based on opens. Openers get the detailed version. Non-openers get a clickbait subject line.

Cost:

. Emails/domains: $5-15 upfront, $5/month

. Subscription: $70-200 depending on tier

. We're on Hypergrowth at around 100/ month. mostly for the gold, so we can verify our lists from Batchleads and Investorbase.

Hope this helps someone when deciding on tools. We opened Motivated Sellers back up and it's doing better than right after their switch to 'pre-qualified' Either service can get you a deal, and the off-market/direct factor opens up the spread quite a bit. Our average spread on wholesales is 24k. Add in Novations and wholetails, and we're closer to 40k average, so the math works for us.

Google Ads

We also run our own Google PPC. I can't really rate Google Ads, but we do have the best campaign overall in Eastern Wisconsin, and a few other markets now. We are running 40% click to conversion, which is where the big savings comes in. Just like Meta, it takes a while to start seeing the savings.

You gotta find converting keywords that a lot of the other investors aren't using. We use Semrush, so that helps us a lot in terms of knowing where to fish, which is basically how many searches people are doing in each area.

Find the parts of the lake where the fish are biting and there's not a lot of other boats. We've been with Motivated Sellers a long time, and have added two more Acquisition guys, so we need close to 250 leads per month now.

I can show what i have and what prices i have verbals on, two deals Ohio, one in Michigan ,one in Georgia

Alright ya'll.

I want to break down this deal quickly.

This is basically our bread and butter and what we do over and over again and have built a pretty decently sized portfolio from this model.

So basically how these deals work is as follows.

And also, keep in mind, that there are different ways to structure these deals.

So, you can do the exact same thing with a Subject To property -- all day.

This one we bought from a wholesaler.

THE DEAL

📍 Purchase price: $144,000 - we used Hard Money (100% purchase & rehab)

🔨 Repairs:

• $2,500 for cleanup + light rehab

• $2,000 for a new furnace

📍 Total in: $4,500

We got it cleaned up in 2 days and immediately refinanced into a DSCR loan at 6.5%.

We then went and sold this property on seller financing to a family that doesn't qualify with the banks.

This family was from El Salvador and they had been looking for a property in this area for a while.

They brought $12k down, and are paying $1,865/month (after servicing fees)

What this created for us is $536/month cash flow

& ~$73,000 in equity created instantly.

We got all of our money out of the deal at refinance.

I do these types of deals over and over again.
We've done over 70 a this point.

The families we work with will pay over market prices for the properties because we provide them with in-house financing.

Went through a little dry streak with assignments but have 4 locked in the last 3 days!!! Small win!!! Feels good to have them off my board lol.

Hey wholesalers!!

I am freshly new at wholesaling and I love reading comments and posts from new and older wholesalers! I would love to create a group chat rather that's on groupme, whats app or telegram, whichever can be agreed upon to create a group where we can really see what works and help eachother out! If you are interested, comments below! ☆ Happy Wholesaling ☆
