I am beginning to work on finding deals that I can wholesale with the overall goal of building a bigger rental business.

I'm sure many of you have bought from a wholesaler and have wholesaled properties and was curious what advice you have on finding buyers.

I have been hesitant up to this point from worry about finding buyers but the more I learn the more comfortable I am with the process. I feel pretty good about the process overall now but still need to learn more about building a good list of buyers to send deals to.

From what I have been told you end up with a handful of good long term buyers that buy your deals.

I understand the basics, use the local REIA, REIA deal emailer, REIA meetings, and REIA forum page as well as some other online sites.

I read where someone mentioned going to auctions and giving your business cards to the people that were out bid on properties :)

I read something about using lists that you can buy to find people that own multiple rentals in the area and/or find people that pay cash for multiple properties.

Very interesting Bill that is good to know. I actually like the idea of having many buyers rather than a few regulars for reasons like you mentioned. I don't want to be the company that loses a big customer and cuts their income in half.

Check public records, advertise out of state/country, 12% ROI to some is nothing but is big to those only getting 7 or 8 in their local.

At your LOCAL real estate association, ask the president to point out 3 people who buy homes with cash.....those are your buyers. Approach each of those three, introduce yourself.....let them know that you occasionally have a deal in your pipeline. Get the business card, find out what they are currently looking for and then ask them for three folks in the group that pay cash for houses.
