Is Lancaster CA "South" enough for ya?...then pm me....i got deals out there just no buyers!

1. Craigslist.com - You look in 3 different places on Craigslist. First you check Housing, "real estate for sale" in your city and look for the We buy Houses, Sell home in 5 days, and Stop foreclosure ads. While there, check out anyone who is offering creative financing or lease options as they are likely to be investors (Or one of the ten smart agents ) Second, you check the Real Estate Services and look for same ads as already mentioned. Third, and this is one of the best where you don't get all the people from your REIA club, you call the Housing apts/housing and look for homes for rent and ask them if they are interested in acquiring property at a huge discount.
2. check the archives for your city name where people are talking about deals in your city or looking for partners. Next, click on their name and it will give you their email address. Many on [REMOVED] use false email addresses since it gets scraped a lot. If this happens, just google their name and city in google to try and get their phone number or email address.
3. The search engines, Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com - Type in sell (your city) home fast and also We buy Houses in (your city). The first two ads (usually highlighted in a light color) and the entire list on the right are paying to be there. Some are national services that generate leads. Navigate the sites (don't click on these as it just costs them money, retype their url ) to see if they give you the local affiliate or if not then fill out the form and see who contacts you. All the other ads are local people who have taken the time to build a website and get ranked. Usually, these are serious buyers
4. Facebook - Type in real estate investor in the search box. It will bring you anyone in your area first who has this as their job. Obviously, you need to have an account and get a few friends that are real estate investors in your city. Then check on their friends information to see if they are also investors. Eventually people will try to friend you that are real estate investors. You can figure this out because the system tells you how many mutual friends you have with their name and picture. When you request someone to be a friend or they request you, send along a message asking them to get on your list.
5. Twitter - very similar to Facebook except you can build your own background. Make sure if you do this, you put a place where you capture email addresses. Again follow some prominent national and local real estate investors and see who is following them and check them out to see if they live in your area. Try to build a list of followers and follow a number of people. It is like friends on facebook. If you tweet interesting information, people will appreciate it and retweet your content and this will bring you more followers who you can try and convert to your list.
6. BiggerPockets.com - they have local groups. People have their website addresses in their signatures many times and also their city. Again search the site for your city name. See who is talking about things. You can also post things here looking for partners or money. Also, go to the Networking button, and half way down, there is a drop down box for searching for investors in your state. Most pictures that show up also have their city included.
7. Local REIA websites - For instance Manareia.com for Bradenton and SuncoastReia.com for the Tampa Bay area. You might also google (your city) real estate association, club, investors meeting. Once on the site many have their board of directors and how to contact them. Many also have newsletters where wholesalers and mentors advertise. Some might even have a member section.

new people read this over and over

I am bookmarking this page to refer back to it soon, and make notes. I too am looking to make a buyers list in the days to come. God Bless!

Wow!

Just WOW!

Matt Inomata

Love it!

Great Info.

Hi jeff I am having trouble building a buyer's list. I requested a list from the agent and she could not provide one. thanx for the info you sent but I still want to know how do you go about it? my agent is already giving me lists of properties, and now It seems like I'm not serious, your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Buyers are every where, if you have a good deal the buyers will find you, it's just that simple..now go flip something and make some money. Take action....John H.."

Your agent does not have a buyer's list - your agent can provide you with a list of properties that were sold for cash recently. Most of these will be investors. You will only have the property address, so you will have to do a little research to find the buyer (public record).

Mike I was just looking for this Thanks for bumping it up

GREAT INFO Randy, THANK YOU for sharing.

how would you go about asking them? Are there any particular records that yiu can request or are available for the public?

Since this seems to be something that many are asking about in recent days!

I will deftly use this information.

Richard

very helpful, thank you.

There are so many ways to find buyers out there - keep it simple, start with the basics - real estate investment clubs, online ads and then branch out. Don't get overwhelmed and make some friends!

Newbie here...

So far we've posted on Craig's list, and got one good buyer. We put out 35 Bandit-Signs a couple weeks ago, and I returned 46 calls last night, with only one "potential" buyer, who does one house a year for less than $25K. About 1/3 of the people said they never called, several said, "we can help you with your fixer", but no good buyers.

We've been attending a club, and have handed out a ton of business cards, and gotten to know a lot of people, including many others working on wholesaling (conflict?).

We are currently in Dean's advanced training, and have heard multiple times that bandit signs are the #1 option, and they are producing calls, but the wrong kind.

Being a newbie, I'm sure we're doing something wrong, but believe we are following the guidelines to-the-T.

We have one good buyer after a month of work...

Any advice and encouragement will be very much appreciated.

Feeling very frustrated,
Paul

Thank you so much for this post. It actually gave me some ideas. With the steep hill I am climbing up to become a successful real estate investor this helped out so much. I am almost in tears because this post couldn't have come at a better time.

It was nice to get the information about where to look for buyers. I have been having quite a time finding true buyers. Most of the people I contact are wholesalers and it has been hard anyone to deal with.

Thanks for posting the buyers list, it's what I needed to help me get started.

Sounds like you are only chasing after LLCs as your potential buyers.
Can you tell me why?

Some of the greatest people youmay never get to see face to face .

whowever this company is full of rezorses you cannot buy at the school.

attend Foreclosure AUCTIONS.

These bidders are CASH Buyers!!

Show up 45 mins early and stay late to speak with them and put flyers on the cars!

Thanks Jeff will experiment with your nuggets.
