How to send a deal to a DispoLab Investor and actually get a reply

What happens when you click Send deal, why investors put their buy box on the platform, how to write the note so it gets read, who to send to first, and how to follow up.

Some of the buyers in your DispoLab results are tagged DispoLab Investor. Most of them are cash buyers who created an account and told the platform exactly what they buy — where, what type, what price, what strategy — so that deals like yours get sent to them. You don't call those; you hit Send deal, and it lands in their inbox. (A few DispoLab Investor rows show a phone and email instead of a Send deal button — those you simply call.)

It's the easiest outreach in wholesaling, and it still gets botched, because people treat it like a blast. Here's how to send a deal so it actually gets a reply.

What happens when you click Send deal

On a DispoLab Investor's row, click Send deal. A short form opens with the deal's numbers already filled in — address, asking price, ARV, rehab, and all-in — plus a box for a message and your name, email, and phone. Write the note, send it, and the button flips to Inquiry sent.

Send deal: the property facts go over automatically; you add a short note on why it fits them. It lands in the investor's inbox and they get an email.

On the investor's side, the deal shows up in their DispoLab inbox and they get an email about it. When they reply, it comes straight to your email with their address on it, so from there it's a normal conversation between two people — DispoLab made the intro, you close the deal. If the investor has chosen to show their phone or email to wholesalers, you'll see it on the row too, and you can just call.

Why they put their buy box there

It helps to understand the investor's side. A flipper in Tampa who does 3/2s under $200k is getting deals texted to them all day by wholesalers who never asked what they buy. Most of it is noise. They put their buy box on DispoLab so that the deals reaching them would actually fit — and so wholesalers they've never met could find them. That's the deal they've made with you: send me things that match, and I'll look.

So the single most important thing about your note is that it shows you know it fits. Which you do, because the reason is on the screen.

Write the note like you read their buy box

You get one short paragraph. Use it to say why this deal is for them specifically, not to describe the house — the house facts went over automatically.

Bad: "Great fix and flip opportunity in Tampa, tons of upside, let me know if interested!"

Good: "Saw you're doing 3/2 flips in 33610 — this one's two blocks from your last one. Roof and kitchen, everything else cosmetic, $38k all-in on repairs with the estimate attached. Vacant, can close in 21 days."

The second one names their buy box, names the work, gives the timeline, and takes fifteen seconds to read. Every match row shows you the reason that buyer fits and, one click deeper, their full criteria. Read it before you write. If their buy box says they want under $150k and you're asking $140k, say "under your $150k ceiling." If it says they do rentals, don't pitch a flip.

Send it to the ones that fit, not all of them

The temptation when you have twelve DispoLab Investors in your results is to send to all twelve. Don't, at least not with the same note. Start with your Top matches — the ones scored highest — and write each a note that references their reason. Five thoughtful sends will outperform twelve identical ones, and they won't train anyone to ignore you.

If the top five pass or go quiet, work down into Other potential buyers. A lower score doesn't mean they won't buy; it means the fit is looser, so your note has to do more work. "You're usually under $120k — this is a bit above that, but the ARV is $241k and it's the same floor plan as the one down the street on Birch that went for $246k."

Attach your homework

The note is short, so let the attachments carry the detail. Before you send, run the address through Comps & ARV and the photos through the Repair Estimator, and download both reports. A DispoLab Investor who gets a deal with a real comps PDF and an itemized repair estimate knows immediately that your numbers were checked, not invented. That's the difference between "interesting, send me more" and "interesting, when can I walk it?" Here's what a complete deal summary looks like.

Follow up like it's a phone call

Inquiry sent isn't the end. If you haven't heard back in 24 hours, follow up — by email if they replied once, or by phone if they've shown their number. (You can only send a given deal to an investor once, so the first note has to carry it.) Most deals happen on the third, fourth, or fifth touch; this channel is no different. Keep it light: "Any interest in the Birch Ave house? Happy to get you a walkthrough this week."

And when the deal closes — with them or with someone else — mark it closed in DispoLab. If it went to a DispoLab Investor, mark it closed on their row. They're now a buyer you've done a deal with, and next time a house in their box comes through, you'll know to send to them first.

One more thing

The investors on the platform are one part of your results. The rest are investors DispoLab sourced for you in that market — the ones with a Skip trace button instead of a Send deal button — and your own buyers, with their phone numbers right there. The fastest dispo uses all three: send to the platform investors, skip trace and call the sourced ones, and ring your own list. Different buttons, same goal: the right deal in front of the right buyer, with a reason, before lunch.
