• For the real estate Wholesaler building a buyers list must be an ongoing process if a wholesaler is ever going to be successful. There are many tactics to building a buyers list. Here are a few.
•
Search the newspaper for ads that say "I buy houses", "Cash for houses" etc... once you find them call the number listed in the add. Ask the Investor what type of property they are looking for. Get all of their information, email, phone number etc... I suggest using a notebook to keep record of all of your buyers information.
•
Search the internet with the same keywords. You must put in your location after the keyword to ensure you are dealing with buyers in your area. Ex. "I buy houses NJ". Again you will contact each Investor and get their information.
•
Ask your Realtor to run a search for Absentee Owners. These are Investors that own a property but do not occupy that property. They have tenants in the property. Once you get the name of an absentee owner do a little research to find their mailing address. Mail them a flyer or a letter letting them know that you have investment properties at great deals. Be creative! I sometimes send them a postcard with one of my deals listed on it.
•
Research Investor groups in your area and become a member. This is a great way to introduce yourself to buyers that invest in your market.
Research contractors and builders in your area. Call them and see if they do any investing. 90% of the time they do. Put them on your buyers list!
•
Place your property on the classified sites like craigslist or backpage Keep a record of every person that contacts you about your deal.
Do the above steps weekly because new adds are always being placed in the paper.
Another good strategy to find buyer's is to stop by a rehab project and ask who the buyer or investor is. Many times the investor may not be present but the contractor's know who he or she is. There may also be a for sale sign in the yard to call the investor who's selling the home.

Start Where You Are! Use What You Have! Do What You Can!
Never let failure dominate you. Never let the mistates of your past Lord over you.
Go Confidently in the Direction of Your Dreams. Live the Life You Have Imagined.

Remember to treat your buyers list as if it were your 401K or IRA. This is the income maker you need to move forward. Keep addding to it until you find an investor in each catagory you working in, I.E., SFR, Condo/Townhome, commercial, etc. It will pay off for you as you go forward.
