Life is so much easier when you have a buyers list.
Imagine having a handful of cash buyers that you have a strong relationship with in your cell phone.
All you do is call them up when you get a deal and see who wants it.
But it takes some work to get to that point… but have no fear… I am going to show you what to do right now.
The first thing I do after getting a deal is to place an ad on Craigslist. You may be surprised at how many cash house buyers scour Craigslist every day looking for deals.
I set the price to whatever looks attractive. I make sure that my price is lower than what it would be if it were in the MLS as a fixer-upper.
Then I create a flyer. I can use this to send in the mail to cash buyers or store it on my computer so that I can email it to anybody who requests it.
You can go to your MLS and look for cash buyers, but you only get access to the ones who bought through the MLS… and remember… most wholesale deals are not done through the MLS.
That is why I created the Cash Buyer Data Feed. I use this in my own business, and many of my most successful students are using it right now to find buyers for their deals so they can make quick cash. It gives you access to all of the known investors who buy houses for cash across the country so that you can contact them and sell your deal in the fastest time possible.
You can simply enter a zip code, click search and see all the cash home buyers in the area.
Now you have a bunch of leads… here is how to get them onto your email list…
Go to Click2Mail.com and send out postcards. Let them know about your deal and send them to your squeeze page. (f you don’t have a squeeze page, you can use one of our templates via iFlip.)
While the postcards are processing, go online and look for “I Buy Houses” type ads. These are investors looking to ‘”fix & flip,” ”buy & hold,” or they are your competitors. Call all of them and ask them if they are interested. If so, add them manually to your buyer email list.
Also, you may have an investor association meeting or “MeetUp” group in your area.
During this whole process, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for any ads that say something like “I Buy Houses.” You may see those yellow signs on the road, a billboard, an ad in the paper, “for rent” signs while driving through neighborhoods, flyers at the grocery store, Starbucks, etc..
Some other creative ways to find cash buyers for houses….
- Attend the foreclosure auction and meet cash buyers in person.
- Go to your courthouse and search recent cash sales. Record the buyer and their address so that you can send a mailing to them. This is the more painful, time-consuming version of what you can do in the Cash Buyer Data Feed.
- Go down to your local housing authority (AKA “Section 8 Office”) and ask for the landlord list. These are real estate investors. They may be looking for a new deal.
- Put a “for sale” sign in the yard of the property. Ask the seller for permission.
However you find them, make sure to keep a database with their contact information so you can call them when you have a deal. Life will be much easier if you can wake up in the morning to a full database with notes about each of your contacts to remind you of why they are there and what you last talked about.
You can use an excel sheet to get started, but if you are looking for the edge, I recommend checking out iFlip. I have a special going for only $1.97 to try it for a month. This is the same tool I use in my business. I built if specifically for Real Estate wholesalers and if you are anything like me, you love keeping things organized and automated.
