Be a Real Matchmaker!

Now that the push for real estate matchmaking software has ended again for now… There is more to being a real estate matchmaker other than getting a buyer and seller and putting them together. I

209 Days of Silence Ended by 209 Gurus…

Well it’s been 209 days since my last post this one will be short the next one won’t be nor will it be in 209 more days! I guarantee it won’t even be another 209 hours before the next post… I will say this and this only flat out lying is a terrible marketing technique!

I started with no money for marketing but then one day… I got this magic thingy that allowed me to really get going even though it’s only been around for 2 years and I’ve been doing this for 8 years or more the math somehow works out to be dead on…

Here’s some math that does work out… If you were to buy the magic doohickey they highly “suggest” (i.e. make anything less darn near useless) it’s $197 a month (which you know even absolutely broke people can afford) or you can send a mail out to 209 home sellers, buyers or what ever for $186.01…

But then again why would we want to let something silly like that math garbage get in the way of a good story about real estate matchmaking software with Freedomsoft or Freedom$oft or the miracle money machine for wholesaling real estate or (insert not real catchy term here)… That will be gone forever soon for 5 or 6 weeks… Sad part is I actually use it myself just don’t like the route they have chosen to go with the marketing of this thing!

Someone Needs To Say It… Why Not Me!?

1
by on November 21, 2010 at 11:18 pm

This is my open letter to the product pushers in the real estate investing game.

1. I understand affiliate marketing is a way to have another income source, but people get serious everyone damn well knows that 98.2 percent of these guys and gals  shit you are hocking (on a weekly basis seemingly) aren’t your friends! So that tired ass email format needs to go ASAP!

2. If I watch a “content” webinar it doesn’t mean that you can call me to sell some horse shit product you snuck into that hour of vague hints and concepts you talked about.

2a. Preston Ely and you other guys your call centers are extra annoying don’t call me repeatedly and don’t play a recorded message of you leaving a voicemail when I answered the damn phone you fucking morons!

3. The word miracle has nothing to do with anything, and I repeat nothing to do with anything related to a real estate investing  product!

4. I also think too many people are allowed to sell these products and you also have no business giving my email address to whoever wants to be an affiliate for your product! 14 of the same email in a 3 minute span is annoying excessive and flat out bullshit!

5. I don’t want an email from your assistant or your wife! If I barely  know who you are and I’m not really sure how I got on your list or for what… Then honestly I can say I don’t give a fuck what “Mrs. A”has to say!

P.S.

I’m not just saying something to get on your good side for my own product launch like someone else did!

The Protest Ends!!!

3
by on July 13, 2010 at 9:15 am

After my 2 week protest…. I’m  back. I went back and forth over whether or not to just quit blogging all together after the atrocity that took place but f@$k it. It doesn’t even matter it’s not like 7,897 people could be that far off base as opposed to one who is just confused.

Now on to the advice. I am all for people investing in real estate education, but in about one hour your email inbox will indeed be touched like Arnold Drummond on that creepy 2 part episode of Different Strokes… I don’t even know how much it costs just yet, but don’t just invest in something because you think it’s going to create a booming business for you while you are just floating in a pool or whatever.

It’s your money that you worked hard for or stood in front of a bus and got a check for either way be smart with it! If you are at stage one of real estate investing you can’t go to stage five overnight I don’t care what or who you buy (slavery isn’t legal) bottom line!

Side note I really enjoy SellPoint and after having found out it’s exact inner workings it makes me realize I was a little too hard on Open Road 3 in review. It actually removed probably my biggest of two complaints. So if you ever get an invitation to it you should at least check it out. Back to Sellpoint though the way it simplifies putting out properties is amazing! You post a property to 40 plus sites and then copy a piece of code and paste it on the bigger sites that are supporting it like craigslist and ebay. It removes the excuse that your piss poor deal just didn’t get seen which is why no one bought it. Yes indeed not every deal is a deal or anything close to one at times.

With all that said I’m going to watch a SIMS 2.o webinar.

2 Weeks For Focus

6
by on May 26, 2010 at 11:23 pm

So it’s been almost 2 weeks and I’ve been really trying to focus in on this task at hand and deal with some other issues that are completely bizarre. I’ve also been playing with Open Road 3 to see how useful it really is in completing this challenge successfully. So here is my quick review from having tried it out for about a week.

Open Road 3 would be great if it wasn’t broken. Yet it is broken so it’s almost down at p.o.s. level as is. It offers some features that work great like the comps report and the hammerpoint repair costs estimator. The organizational set up is actually really good as well. I can see it being used for wholesaling, short sales, buy and hold, or whatever. Now as far proposed features like power matching and linking, adding additional users, sending deals out to your buyers list its pretty much shitty. Granted I haven’t tried to use tech support or anything like that yet, but that takes forever with pretty much everything so I haven’t even bothered yet! All this being said though if/when they get all of the kinks worked out I actually see it being some great software for any real estate investor. Until then however find a trial membership if you are interested let me know I can hook up with the 30 days for 1$ trial. No I don’t get a damn thing from it either haha.

Two more quick things before I sign off for the night it is lateish ya know. One for those of you who are unaware the newsletter sign up is in the upper right hand corner it’s actually got some really good stuff written for it already but I would kinda like to send it to more than 5 people dammit j/k sort of. Two be sure to check out the newest blog on the blogroll from my friend Matt Rosen! Yes I did indeed pull an almost technical maneuver and put his name as a link.
