VIRTUALLY WHOLESALING IS NOT FOR THE WEAK
Wasgood everybody, it's Danny (fka Primo Jones). I've been virtually wholesaling for the past few years, and I've closed about 7 deals in the DFW market just by using Google Voice and my own wits. Not sure who will read this, but hopefully, it'll draw some inspiration. First and foremost, I didn't start wholesaling the traditional way. My first deal was literally a million-dollar home that was on-market in North Dallas. I got it from manually email blasting realtors and finding cash buyers from Facebook, and I ended up assigning the contract for 10 grand. I think we can all agree that feeling of getting that first check is monumental. After that, I doubled down on the email blasting efforts and got a second on-market deal for $5,000. Slowly but surely, I started to realize how much patience a lot of realtors lack when it comes to wholesalers, so I decided to transition to ODS (off-market, direct to seller). Now when I first started cold calling, I did not like it one bit. I'm very antisocial, so getting cussed out by random people for free wasn't in my best interest. What helped me push through the adversity was my why. I know it sounds cliché, and Rick & Zach are always preaching it, but you have to have a why and a deep sense of conviction that things will work; as long as you're putting yourself in the best position. That being said, I persevered and was able to get 4 more deals from cold calling fire-damaged leads and code violations in DFW. The first was for $1500, and it was a fire-damaged house a couple of brothers wanted to get rid of. I actually worked with a guy from New Western to get this one sold. He and I are still in contact to this day, and he's actually connected me with a couple of guys from RFP Homes (shoutout to Max Dier). The second one I got was a code violation, and that same guy from New Western was able to help me get $3000 for it. The 3rd & 4th were also code violations, and the biggest assignment fee I got was $20,000 (net profit was $50K), and right after that, I got a $2500 deal.
