Flip This Wholesaler

11/5/2008

I have received several emails asking questions about the signs I use to sell my deals and to attract new buyers.

I use 18x24 blank white choroplast signs. They cost me 88 cents each, and I cut them in half myself (they will cut them for you, but it costs more, and I am cheap). I buy them at a local company (Laird Plastics), but it looks like they have locations all over the place. I can't speak for the other locations, but here, I can just drop by their shop and they will have my signs in a few minutes, and they are super nice.

I have been putting out 25 signs every Saturday morning. If I don't have a deal of my own to sell, I will market something that one of the other wholesalers I work with is trying to sell (someone always has something to sell). If you are just getting started, I would highly recommend contacting some of the active wholesalers in your area and asking them if they have any properties to sell. This is a FANTASTIC way to get your feet wet, build your buyers list, and learn your market. And there is no risk involved at all. If I was starting over, that is exactly what I would do. I would find the most productive wholesaler in town, call him (or her) up, and ask if I could help market their properties. Then I'd go out and market like a mad person. There is no better way to learn than getting out in the streets and DOING....

Anywho, here's a picture of one of my signs in action....



P.S.
Don't prank call me.
