Recently resigned from my job for personal reasons, took a few weeks off to get right. Now I'm all the way in full time wholesaling starting today. My intial goal is to crack a deal within 60 days from now. All advice and tips or welcomed especially from those who have been in a simualar situations. Encouragement and solid partnerships are also welcomed. Its Monday and it's money out there waiting for us to get it. Be great!

I don’t see enough people being honest about this, so I will. Wholesaling isn’t just learning contracts or finding “motivated sellers.” It’s the mental part that messes most people up. Nobody talks about how it feels to wake up motivated… then go to sleep feeling like nothing moved. Nobody talks about calling and texting all day just to hear “no,” “not interested,” or get ignored completely. Nobody talks about how embarrassing it feels when you tell people you’re in real estate but haven’t closed a deal yet. That part is heavy. I’ve had moments where I asked myself if this was even worth it. Moments where I felt like maybe I was missing something everyone else figured out. Here’s what I learned though... This business doesn’t reward the most excited person. It rewards the most consistent one. You don’t lose because you don’t know enough. Most people lose because they stop showing up emotionally. • They stop following up • They stop having real conversations • They stop when it gets quiet The truth is, follow up is the real skill, not finding leads. And patience is the part nobody wants to practice. Most deals don’t come from the first call. They come from the 3rd, 5th, sometimes the 10th follow up after everyone else already quit. If you’re in that phase right now where you feel like you’re trying but nothing is clicking, don’t disappear. That phase is usually right before things start making sense.

Happy Sunday everybody! Does anyone know if we are still able to get into M2M by upgrading to the highest level of XLeads? Looking to join tonight or tomorrow and am curious.

I have a buyer looking for properties in Cleveland and actively buying right now. If you have any lets JV on the deal.

I work with a wholesaler here in Connecticut, running his operations team. The system we’re using right now brings us about one deal per week with just 100 cold calls a day. The setup is simple. I hired a local part-time cold caller for around $300. We wrote a short script that goes like this: “Are you [Owner Name]? Sorry to be so direct, we’re looking to invest in properties in [Town]. Are you the owner of [Property Address]? Great. Would you be open to talking about your property if the offer was good?” If all three answers are “yes,” the lead goes straight to the wholesaler. If only the first two are “yes,” it comes to me for review. I listen to the call, check the property, and decide whether it’s worth sending forward. That part is easy. The secret is in how we get the leads. Most people pull data from XLeads, PropStream, or DealSauce. But that’s exactly the problem, everyone uses them. Which means most of those homeowners have already been called a dozen times before you ever reach them. Those big providers cover the entire country. They scrape every city, every state. And sometimes, they’re just a little slow to update, a few hours or a few days. We decided to go niche. We built our own small automation that scrapes data directly from Connecticut sources: judicial websites, town records, the works. It’s not always faster. Maybe 60 percent of the time it’s the same speed. But in that other 40 percent, we get there first. And that’s all we need. After our custom lead scraper pulls those leads, we call them immediately. Which means we’re often the first to reach them, before they’ve been called by everyone else. They’re still open to talk. That timing advantage is what allows us to get 2 or 3 interested sellers per day with so little outreach. From those 2 or 3, we pick the best one each week to go under contract. Then my wholesaler handles disposition. We are just getting the system started BUT, it works and well enough. And I know we’ll be able to scale it up.
