How to build a buyer's database

Does anyone have any quick tips or hints on how to get in touch with multiples of buyers? I’m finding properties but don’t have the funds yet to put in a newspaper add for $1000 a month. Please help a new wholesaler!!! :slight_smile:

The best sufficent and easiest way to build a buyers list is to attend one of your Local Real Estate Investing Association (REIA) meetings. they are usually free the first time you go and you can see what other investors are doing by networking. 2) you can call the we buy houses signs on the side of the road and ask them what they are looking for. Also they place ads in the newspapers as well. If your lucky they may refer you to another investor as well

Lang, I put bogus ads on craigslist.herbster

Herbster,

What do you mean you post bogus ads? What do you say when someone contacts you back without insulting them by being misleading? Please advise!

Fake Rent to Own, Lease Option, 3br, 2 bth 120K lets bargain etc.
I only leave an email address. When they reply I tell them the home is sold and then I tell them that I work as a property matchmaker and would gladly look for them. Just please tell me what you are after and where.
Now I have a buyer and if I don’t have a home I start looking.
To be honest I haven’t got quite the responce I was after but I do get some. Herbster
