Finding Buyers for Your Quick Flips

flip hacking May 27, 2022

An important step in building a flipping business is to find investor buyers looking for off-market, discounted properties that need work.

I encourage my students to find buyers way before marketing to find deals from sellers. What good is a deal if you don’t have someone to sell it to?

In most markets, there are many investors looking for properties they can flip or hold as rentals.

Here are 3 of the best ways to find them:

  1. ListSource.com
    1. This is a website where you can generate lists of property owners in certain states
    1. Choose your City & State to narrow the search
    1. Then choose Last Market Sale Date of 12 months back
    1. Add Equity Percentage of 100%
    1. Filter this list for Absentee Owners only
    1. This will produce a list of people that have bought investment homes with cash in your area in the last year
    1. Contact those people to see if they want to be added to your list of buyers
  1. Facebook
    1. Many cities have Facebook groups for Real Estate Investors in that city
    1. Join those groups and create a post asking if anyone would like to be added to your buyers list
    1. You can also individually message the people in the group and ask if they would like to be added
  1. Zillow.com // Hotpads.com
    1. These are websites where homes are listed For Sale or For Rent
    1. You can individually message all of the landlords who have homes For Rent and ask if they’d be interested in buying more investment property
    1. You can even set up a system where you check the site each week and message all of the new landlords that have posted For Rent properties

There are many other ways to find buyers but these are 3 of the most popular.

I usually recommend creating a list of 150 cash buyers before beginning to look for deals. That way once you find deals, you’ll have buyers ready to purchase them.
