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!

Where Will the Most Eyes See My Property?

2
by on March 11, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Where will the most eyes see your property? It doesn’t really matter but the answer is the internet obviously but wouldn’t you rather get your wholesale real estate deals in front of quality eyes instead? Start getting some property management companies on your team, on your email list/ phone book or in your network whichever terminology you prefer to use!

Now I know some of you are thinking exactly why would I do that and what good is that gonna do me? Maybe even perhaps why would they help me?

Well here are a few reasons why you should do it and why they will help you!

1. They have landlord buyers in place!

You see the thing is you can’t be a property management company without properties… Obviously the people who own these are landlords! Get to know a few of these companies and you could very well get your deals in front of literally hundreds of people active in today’s market!

2. They will help you sell your deals!

One way they can help you is by telling you what your house will rent for! This is a necessity when trying to figure accurate numbers for figuring numbers for cash on cash returns or any return on investment numbers you choose!

Two they don’t mind putting your good deals out to their clients because if and when they do buy one that’s immediately more money in their pockets!

3. More properties for you to wholesale!

Yes when they have landlords or clients who want to liquidate their portfolio they will start sending them to you their new bestest (that’s totally a  real word dammit) real estate wholesaler friend!

So this is indeed one way to improve your business on multiple fronts and once you get to know what each of your property managers buyers wants from a property you can throw together a spreadsheet and see which of your deals meets their criteria to go along with pictures and the normal everyday stuff. The spreadsheet has all of the things they actually care about first and foremost the money!

Here is the one I use personally as a free download to all of you (that are on the mailing list that is!)

Just The Facts…

1
by on February 26, 2011 at 2:43 pm

What is the best thing you can do for your business? Use all of the resources available to you in the most efficient way possible! How many of you know whether or not your county or city tax assessment information is online? Wouldn’t that be easier than going to the court house and physically looking through the mounds of paper?

Do you use your telephone for more than texting forwards all day? It’s one of the greatest tools you have for creating a buyers list! If you think that all of the real cash buyers are checking the internet you are sadly mistaken. You know when you are running comps and see the investor prices you should probably take a minute and find out who is buying it and call them don’t direct mail them and hope you get a response use your phone and dial them up!

Did you know there is more to the internet than blogs, bad dating sites and 3 legged mule porn? Yes indeed there is everything you need to know to run a profitable real estate investing business if you look! Hell if you are too lazy to use a search engine just ask somebody where to go and they will tell you!

The Post 29 Years 364 Days in the Making…

3
by on February 22, 2011 at 9:44 am

You know really it being the day before my 30th birthday you would think that I would be scared of 30 or happy either one… To me it’s just another day even though my boss is secretly a nice guy and would give me the entire week off if I wanted… First and foremost I would like to say thanks and fuck you right back to the people who sent me Tevin Campbell and Sisqo’s greatest hits cd’s… Secondly the only thing I really want for my birthday isn’t sold in stores or something I’m likely to get, but that’s what dreams are for… Thirdly I would like to state that while I enjoy a healthy dose of competition as I get older I seem to be more interested in the success of others… So point blank who wants to do a deal or two together? If your real estate investing business sucks or you just want to see another perspective give me a shout…
Fourthly Product launches are stupid when you do the exact same thing you did 6 months ago over and talk about your never before seen video that I have already seen…

Don’t Be a Complete P.O.S.!

4
by on January 30, 2011 at 9:43 am

So I see that mortgage assignments are the new latest greatest investing strategy… This also goes out to some of the lease option guys and gals out there… The buyers that you are seeking for the most part are chasing the American dream, but that does not give you the right to completely take advantage of them! If you are selling a house to a young family with bad credit are you taking a risk yes, however that does not mean you can do whatever you want and take all of their tax return as a down payment and leave them no money to fix up your trashy ass deal which in most cases isn’t even a damn deal to begin with! I refuse to just sit and watch people get fucked over and not say anything!

You can’t sell a house for just under the full after repair market value even though it’s barely standing, has shitty wiring, no heat in the middle of winter, piss poor bathrooms and plumbing, and zero functional windows!  That is just straight up bullshit! You aren’t “helping” anyone but yourself when you do shit like that! Does everyone deserve the opportunity to make money sure, but they don’t have the right to fuck people on their way to the top!

So please have some integrity when you go looking for the “hungry new home owners” money people! Real estate investing is great being a real estate complete piece of shit isn’t!

Rifle Season Won… Sorry

So if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been lately I’ve been hunting and closing a few deals. I will return to semi routine after I fill my last 2 tags. Miss ya’ll!  (If you are gonna make some dumb ass reply about hunting I’m just gonna say point blank don’t because if you think you have a valid reason for people to not hunt 1. you suck at life 2. you are wasting your breathe because no one is going to stop hunting especially not me and 3. write down your thoughts dip them in water freeze them over night and then stick them up your ass…)

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!

Are You Disappearing?

Real quick tip. If you have been getting ghosted on Craigslist try not using links especially if all you are posting is properties. Sellpoint really seems to be getting hammered by their system and they don’t even have an answer as to why. Also I as advised to not put up any pictures. Hope this helps. I talked for 45 minutes today with their customer “support” which is actually not all that supportive go figure. Seems like that’s going around these days.

Later Peeps

Happy real estate investing!

Just for Funzies- An in Depth Peak Into a Home Owners Mind

8
by on September 19, 2010 at 4:16 pm

Having been on the phone for about 5 hours today already with sellers has inspired me to write some observations of at what point these people lose there freaking mind! I mean honestly its not rocket science Mr. or Ms. Home Owner you have a house or houses you don’t have very many choices….

Choice one is to live in it. This is an obvious one you will be in the house until you either A stop breathing, B sell it, or C someone with the authority to tells you to take your stuff and get out!

Choice two is to let it sit there. Again another no brainer here. You walk out the door and waste money on silly things like lawn care, taxes and possibly an extra mortgage payment while not getting squat in return.

Choice three is to rent it out. This one isn’t bad you actually have a chance at making money with this one. After you take out for repairs that you constantly pay for because you keep getting the lame tenants who have kids who would be better off with litter boxes! Not to mention the taxes and insurance you are paying for at the very least. Once you get past all of that though this is a sound way to get a return on investment or inheritance whichever the case may be.

Choice four now this bad boy here is where seemingly these people start taking too many shots of either alcohol or blows to the head. They can sell the house. Now most people go to do some research before selling their home whether it be talking to a neighbor who recently (a.k.a. usually not at all recently enough for it to matter today!) or buy going online and seeing how much it’s worth and of course they give you the Zilllow value which honestly who knows which crack addict makes that craziness up but oh well. So obviously they decide whether or not to sell it straight up for fair market value in a traditional manner or to an investor for an under market discounted price. They can also sell it via a lease with an option to purchase to an investor or a non cash poor tenant buyer also known as some call them want to be home owners.

I can understand the dollar signs play into their decisions on any choice they make but honestly there really aren’t any of them that are that difficult to decide on. However to do any of them ,but let it sit though you have to tell people where the hell it is! You can call these ignorant people and they will say such ludicrous things like “I will call you 15 minutes before I show it to you with the address” , ” I can’t tell you the address I don’t want to robbed”, ” the address is only available upon a signed agreement”, ” I don’t know the address”, and my favorite ” you can have the address AFTER your check clears!”

So finally after all of this what is in the mind of a Home Owner who now wants to make money off of it….

Not a damn thing!!!
