7 common mistakes wholesalers make when buying real estate lists:

1. Focusing on Cheap Data: Many wholesalers opt for cheap lists to save money, but these lists are often oversold. This results in multiple investors chasing the same homeowners, leading to higher offers and defeating the purpose of targeting motivated sellers.

2. Overlooking Data Freshness: Using outdated lists means contacting homeowners who may no longer be in a position to sell. Always prioritize fresh, updated lists to maximize your chances of closing deals.

3. Not Targeting the Right Niches: Instead of buying more targeted lists, some wholesalers use generic data. Niche lists like probates, pre-probates, or code violations provide higher chances of finding motivated sellers.

4. Ignoring Market Saturation: Cheap lists are often sold to many investors. If too many wholesalers are contacting the same homeowners, it reduces your chances of getting a good deal.

5. Over-Reliance on Volume: Some wholesalers think buying large volumes of cheap data will improve results. However, more isn’t always better—targeting the right data is key.

6. Wasting Marketing Budgets: Cheap, untargeted lists can cause higher marketing costs for mailers and cold calls with little return. Investing in higher-quality, targeted lists leads to more efficient and effective outreach.

7. Failing to Diversify Lists: Sticking to one type of list can limit your reach. Expanding into other lists like divorce, foreclosures, or vacant properties can increase your chances of finding motivated sellers.
