Built a buyers list from scratch — 60 day breakdown

Started with zero cash buyers. Here's exactly how I got to 43 verified buyers in 60 days:

1. Facebook groups — Joined every Tampa investor group, posted a deal. 12 DMs → vetted to 4 real buyers with proof of funds.
2. Local REIA meetings — Attended 3 meetings, followed up on every card. 9 buyers.
3. BiggerPockets forum — Posted about my deal. 3 actual buyers from 8 inquiries.
4. Calling bandit signs — Drove around, called every "We Buy Houses" sign I found. 14 signs → 11 buyers.
5. Title company referral — My closing agent referred 2 reliable, active buyers.

43 total, 29 with confirmed proof of funds. Quality beats quantity every time.
