Its been my experience that most realtors are investors themselves, and will scoop up the best deals for themselves. You get the scraps. I like to look myself and if I need a realtor, I have a couple that I trust. In this area, bandit signs are working as well as inexpensive ads in the thrifty nickel paper. Good Luck with your efforts!

I’m just starting in CRE and am interested in wholesale/retail. I currently have a realtor emailing me fixer-uppers and foreclores.

My question is should I also be putting bandit signs up to try to get these types of properties or am I going to be wasting my time getting calls from people who would be more sub2 candidates?

Thanks,
Ehab

Ehab,

I’ve added two more prospecting methods since I first posted the list.

Create an Internet web site.
Contact homeowners who are at least 2 years delinquent on property taxes.

Hope this helps.

Best of Success!!

Ehab,

I like the idea of placing an ad in a "Greensheet/Pennysaver/thriftynickel.

It costs you a bit less than a local newspaper and you would be suprised how many people pick those up and read them.

In my opinion they are a very good way to get your message out there.

Best of luck to you,
