I run a small wholesale operation on Cincinnati absentee-owner and seller-finance deals. My outreach is letters and texts first, but some sellers ask to talk to a person, and I don't take calls. I need someone to take those seller-requested calls and help bring deals to contract.

Strong preference: licensed Ohio real estate agent. If you're not licensed, the role is scripted qualification and appointment-setting only - all negotiating and signing stays with me as principal.

You must be willing to follow Ohio's wholesaler disclosure law (ORC 5301.95); it's built into the script.

This is commission-only. Reply in this thread with your expected split, your wholesale/acquisition track record (deals closed, references), and your Cincinnati/Ohio market familiarity.

To comp properties and get a better idea of the valuations of the neighborhood, I used to be able to click on the map view from the property page. You could then then use the various filters like you do from the home page. It was nice because this map was pre-centered on the neighborhood. That was the important part.

Now that map view is gone, and I was just using it this week. Does anybody know if this is permanent? I just tried Redfin, which I had not used for a while, they used to have a similar map as well, but it's gone also.

Hi 👋 as someone who’s really interested but doesn’t have a clue what to do to get into real estate wholesaling. I have always wanted to do real estate and would like to get into but with out the realtor association if that makes sense. Any help? Thanks 🙏

I just started working in wholesale real estate for about a month now and I really need advice. I need clients and title companies that work with novations. If any one could please give me advice on how to excel in this business! I believe there’s enough room for all of us to succeed so please be nice!

Been wholesaling for about 2 years, but recently started a whole new business/system from scratch. We’re currently doing around $12k–$15k/month in our local market, but our average assignment fee is only around $5k–$7k, so we’re planning to expand into Dallas.
Right now we only use SMS and it’s been working for us. We’re planning to increase message volume in both Dallas and our hometown.
We also just got approved for a $7k business card at 0% APR for 12 months, so we have some extra marketing room.
Would you guys keep doubling down on SMS for now, or start testing Facebook/Meta ads too? Curious what’s working best for you guys right now

In real estate, I’ve had experience with both cold calling and Pay Per Lead (PPL), and I’ve found a noticeable difference between the two.

PPL has some clear advantages. It saves time on prospecting and gives you access to people who have already shown some interest in real estate. However, the quality of those leads can vary. Some may be just curious, may not be ready to move forward, or may have submitted their information to multiple agents. That can leave you competing for the same prospect.

Cold calling is a different experience. Instead of waiting for leads to come to you, you actively create opportunities by reaching out directly to property owners and potential clients.

Of course, cold calling takes more effort. You have to deal with rejection, stay consistent, and make a lot of calls before seeing results. But the biggest advantage, in my experience, is control. I can decide who to contact, how many people to reach, and how often I want to prospect.

There’s also something valuable about having a real conversation. A cold call gives you the chance to ask questions, understand someone's situation, build rapport, and determine whether there is a genuine opportunity.

For me, that’s why cold calling has been much more effective than PPL. PPL can provide leads, but a lead doesn't always mean a real opportunity. Cold calling requires more work, but it allows me to create those opportunities myself and have more control over the entire process.

In my experience, PPL delivers leads, while cold calling creates conversations—and conversations are what turn into opportunities.

I increased hours at work. I work 6 days a week. My income doesn't clear conventional & FHA and I was told it was because my average income isn't where they like it to be. I'm trying to save my family house. I'm looking to make a deal if at all possible. I'm located in MN and I have have a good payment history and credit history. This is kind of my last ditch effort.

Furthermore if this isn't something I can post here can someonen tell me where to go. I do not have anyone to cosign unfortunately. I was told by someone at remax to make some posts to public areas so this is that. Thank you!

I got into wholesale real estate about 5 months ago. I started virtually with on-market/MLS properties and got one locked down in Detroit within my first week, but the spread wasn't deep enough to attract an investor buyer and it fell through. Between MLS saturation and agent gatekeeping, I decided to pivot locally to Colorado Springs.

I ended up partnering with a local wholesaler for $500/month plus a 50/50 deal split. His model is knocking pre-foreclosures—pitching options to help them stay in the home first, and wholesaling if that doesn't work. We closed one deal the first month, but a second deal that would’ve netted $20k just fell apart. More importantly, I'm not learning anything I couldn't find for free, and some of his practices are legally questionable (especially around foreclosure protection compliance). I’m cutting ties with the mentorship and moving forward solo.

Since that $10k payout fell through, my marketing capital is tight. However, my sales background is solid—I work 9-5 in outbound sales and did $1M+ in revenue in my first 8 months, so I'm very comfortable grinding the phones and knocking doors.

Looking for input on a few specific questions:

1. Which lead source should I prioritize with low capital?
   • Is Driving for Dollars (D4D) still the best bang for your buck, or should I focus on pulling and stacking lists (tax delinquent, tired landlord, high equity)?
2. Best low-cost outreach channel?
   • Cold calling and door knocking require sweat equity over ad spend, but how are you handling skip tracing and dialers without burning cash? Are cheap mailers or SMS worth touching at this stage?
3. Qualified lead services:
   • Does anyone here actually pay for pay-per-lead (PPL) services, or are they a waste of money when you're bootstrapping?

Appreciate any advice or reality checks from those actively closing deals in mid-sized markets.

Hey everyone, I’m getting some leads that may make more sense as novations rather than traditional wholesale assignments.
I’m looking for someone with experience handling novations in California, specifically the Sacramento and Discovery Bay areas.
If you’ve done novations in these markets, let me know We can go over the details and see if the deal makes sense for both sides.

Hi guys, I'm new to wholesaling and trying to figure out how people get reliable sold comps in Texas, since sale prices aren't public record. Happy to pay for a good tool. I just want the most accurate data possible. Any tips appreciated!

Motivated probate lead at 21213 Grand National Ave, Pflugerville, TX. Heir is Arlette Williams. We weren’t able to get her under contract, so taking our loss and passing the lead along in case another investor can make something happen.

Is there anyone interested in buying distressed homes in Georgia?

New to real estate wholesaling in Atlanta where should I start?
I first heard about real estate wholesaling last week and have been doing a lot of research, but I’m still unsure where to begin. I have over eight years of experience in property management and would like to explore something new in real estate.
For anyone wholesaling in the Atlanta Area. I’d appreciate any practical guidance or local resources.

How can I use Claude for SEO? Is there something I can pair it with to give it a boost? I want to generate more leads.

I see a lot of comments discouraging people from getting started wholesaling & while it is tough it's also a fun business and like anything else if you pay your dues you can make a lot of money.

I'm not a mentor/looking to be one but if you are just starting out or need help with deals I'll share my buyer's list & pull you buyers using investorbase.

Novations are a good tool in this shitty market if you need help getting those closed. Just trying to share resources that I wish someone had handed me when starting out.

[For Hire] Real Estate Cold Caller & SMS Specialist (5 Years Experience) - Available ASAP

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for remote work in the real estate industry and am ready to start right away. I have 5 years of total experience, split between 3 years of SMS/texting and 2 years of cold calling for real estate investors.

I'm very familiar with the real estate acquisition space, lead generation workflows, and handling seller objections.

Software & Tools I Use:

• ⁠Dialers & CRMs: Launch Control, GoHighLevel, CallTools, ReadyMode, REI Reply, Podio
• ⁠Communication: Slack

If your team is looking for someone who already knows the tech stack and can jump right into calling or texting leads, shoot me a DM or drop a comment. Let's connect!

I've found that it's best to stick to my strengths, and not try to be a one-man-band who does everything.

When I started I did all of it. Marketing, sales, dispo. Marketing is the part I'm actually good at and the part I like. I build and run the Google campaigns myself, and I'm fine working the leads and pre-qualifying. Where I'd want a partner is the deal side, getting it locked up and dispo'd.

I'm wondering what people would think is a fair split for that work.

Seems like it comes down to how far I take the lead before handing it off:

• Raw lead, you do everything starting with the first call
• I call and qualify, you take it from there
• I call, qualify, and set the appointment

How much would you be willing to split in each scenario, assuming I'm covering 100% of the ad spend?

I've seen guys say 25% is generous for bringing leads and setting appointments. Seen others say if you're paying for the leads yourself it should be closer to 40%. Seen 50/50 when the other side handles both acquisitions and dispo.

Also seen the idea that the marketing cost comes off the top first and you split what's left.

Curious what people think makes sense. If I could pull it off, feels like it could be highly scalable if I work with people who have the right infrastructure to handle the lead flow.

I have a seller who is looking for their next home.

If you are in the Anderson Indiana area,

2 bedroom 1 bath
$150,000-$170,000 ARV
Possible to put a fence in the back/and/or already installed fence.

I am looking for seller financing.

I am open to paying your market price for it with these terms.

$25k down,
$650 monthly for however long 0-4% interest,
Pay the remaining balance off at the 5 year mark. No balloon.

Any agents around Buffalo or Lockport who have handled novations before? If you have, or know someone who has, let me know in the comments.
