If you do not have time to get started in real estate, you can spend a little cash and have someone do a lot of the labor for you. If you invest in your career, it will pay off for you in the end.
Understand there's time versus money. If you have no time and you have no money you have a bit of a challenge, but if you have one or the other you can do it. Let's suppose you have no time, but you can put a little bit of money in it.
First I would recommend that you start a direct mail campaign. You can start a direct mail campaign to probate, absentee owners or evictions. When the lead comes in you direct them to a call center. You can use one like PatLive.com or Kall8.com. They get some basic information. Then they send the information to a VA or a virtual assistant who does the initial evaluation for you. They take the basic data from the call center, they plug it into a spreadsheet for you, they do the initial here's what the property is worth, and then they send you only the deals. You only get the deal when it's time to call the seller and get to the nitty-gritty. It's a direct mail campaign.
The call-to-action is to a call center, which is either a Pat Live or even a basic voice mail that leaves the property address. You could get away with that if you needed to save a few dollars. Then it goes immediately to a virtual assistant that has the capability to evaluate. You can type in Google virtual assistants and they have certified virtual assistants. There's a whole bunch of them that have experience and are real estate virtual assistants.
Many of them will have access to the MLS in your local area to do some of the evaluations and they know the business, they know how to comp. The other way that you can do this is build a buyers list. Find out where your local investors are, the ones that are finding the deals that can't sell them, find out where they're finding deals, and then become an expert at building a buyers list and partner with them.
If they have the deal and you have the buyer can do deal after deal. All you have to do is send an email out to your list when somebody sends you a deal that they have.
