Where Will the Most Eyes See My Property?

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!)

The Post 29 Years 364 Days in the Making…

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…

Product After Product…

It’s kind of funny when you see somebody chasing hard after that affiliate real estate product dollar isn’t it? See at some point when you are sending out all of the pre cooked emails you have to realize that you appear to be and most likely are full of shit… Think about it if you have your own products and attempt to sell for someone else eventually there is overlap or an admission of your own words just aren’t that good. If you are willing to admit your own product isn’t that good that you just pushed on your oh so important “list” nobody believes a word damn one that comes out of your mouth, because you are now just in it for the money! Now I’m not saying being in it for the money is wrong… I mean hell if someone told me they just wanted to feed their family I would teach them how to hunt and fish, yet if the same person says they want money to feed their family and do virtually whatever they wanted to I would teach them real estate… It’s all about the perception and persona these people continually attempt to portray and fail miserably at achieving… For instance if you promise people x number of cash buyers when they buy your shit they should probably get it regardless of the value of your content… You also shouldn’t be everybody’s buddy it looks fucking stupid! I mean if someone taught you personally how to do something cool I guess but you already sold your list your product for the same thing a few weeks ago. What planet does this idea hold  any logic? Yet that’s the constant bombardment of emails and product pitches very basis… Sad and ignorant to say the least… So I’m gonna put something in your email to make up for the others bitchassedness! @ 10:30 ET expect a free gift from the king of anti- douche baggery.

It’s day 10 of 2011 who’s already fucked up their plans for the year? Have you done anything to get closer to your goals? Did you even have any to begin with? No goals = no chance for growth. No growth means your life stays the exact same or perhaps even gets worse! Do something people! I am here to help even… Just a suggestion.

I will even do an extended post on any question you have because I am that nice of a guy… sometimes haha.

I’m on a mission to desuckify your life!

You’re Fired on Christmas Eve…

0
by on December 24, 2010 at 6:14 pm

So first and foremost happiest of  Happy Holidays! To all of you.

But today I’ve decided I have had all of the shit I am gonna take off of this one particular buyer.

1. He takes forever to make decisions.

2. He doesn’t understand what buying a house means. It means that it is now his problem to deal with not the sellers!

3. He is lazy and doesn’t do anything.

4. He is sending lengthy emails bitching about a contractor who went “way over budget” A whole 4 thousand dollars oh my gosh that Scrooge bastard of a contractor how dare him the nerve of that S.O.B. and he had the nerve to finish 2 weeks early…

5. Number 4 really happened on Christmas Eve no less.

6. My response is fuck him and have fun in your future endeavors nowhere within site or arms reach of Greg Harris (or I reserve the right to fuck you up for being retarded and wasting oxygen….)

7. I just plain don’t like the guy now and it’s not worth a few dollars to deal with douche bags when you don’t have to!

8. I am not a free project manager or rehab consultant you have to pay for that or I will indeed get sideways after you abuse my patience!

9. I can replace him in a few easy steps… He waited his entire useless existence to find me and I guarantee he will indeed go back to making 5 grand on rehabs because he gets screwed over by being so hands off!

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!

Really Again? F**k Them Too

5
by on July 20, 2010 at 2:33 am

I have decided to ignore any tweet with the word list in it, because I’m tired of all of these ratings people who base all of their criteria off of not a  damn thing. The real estate business isn’t rocket science is there plenty to write about? Yes yes there is if you are in the business for real doing the correct things everyday you should have an infinite supply of stories to tell as well as giving good advice.

Between twitter, facebook, talking to aspiring real estate investors and other blogs you will see and/ or hear the seeds for failure every 4.3 seconds. I almost did this, I didn’t have time for that, I don’t like this, I don’t know how to…, I’m too tired, I was sick…, my dog had bad gas, Zillow says its worth…, I was gonna but didn’t, I missed that goal… again, I am creating…These are all  the very reasons people are failing except at getting e-cred and blogosphere love. You know how much all of those statements put in your pocket… $0.00 every second for the rest of your life.  Why am I writing a blog post at 2:00 am central standard time, because I have been busy doing things that create income. Like making offers, doing marketing campaigns, placing ads and talking to buyers. You see lead conversion is the most important thing in wholesaling, real estate investing as a whole, or any business for that matter. All of you people who bought that one thing last week are in for  a rude awakening whether you are doing it yourself or paid extra for them to do it all for you… If you are going to make a dime one from those leads you have to convert them!

Here is your free big money tip if you made it to the end… Do the things that make money and forget the things that are for your leisure. Building relationships with people is a great thing to do with your time. They don’t have to be the most authentic relationships with a Realtor or other investor, but don’t completely fake it either. You don’t have to become fifteen Realtor kids’ god-parent by any means, but be real. Build a team or dare I even say a network of people you can work with or at the very least kick some ideas back and forth. I have a contact page if you want to see if we can get along. Unlike some people I don’t play “favorites” with my lists, or blow smoke up anybody’s ass so we can be “pals.”

The next post will be the second in the Ninja Marketing series. I actually will even throw in a case study post from the latest deal in the 50 in 52 challenge. To get back to what I do at a high level regardless of what some people “see” (I’m tired of the borderline “bitching” and electronic ass chewing posts myself… almost)

How Do I Do More Deals?

16
by on June 9, 2010 at 1:36 pm

That’s the question I get asked more than any other except how do I know what to offer. Point blank period you have to put more houses under contract that suit your buyers criteria. Easier said than done right? Not exactly. They all like to say well my buyers don’t  have a set criteria or it could change month to month but they don’t really know. If you are a wholesaler with a list of  hundreds or even thousands yet only do a deal once a month or less you are missing the big picture!

There is a saying “that the money is in your list”, which is a true statement to a point. The money really is in knowing what your list wants and then going out and getting it. I know what you’re gonna say to that already “well they don’t have a criteria I’ve sent out a mass email and hardly anyone answered.” Well no freaking kidding they know you sent the same empty ass message to everyone. Ask them to get on the phone with you  for a ten or fifteen minute chat to talk about it at their convenience and see what kind of response you get. Don’t even say “well I have to talk to 500 people on the phone” no genius not all at once you are good with maybe at the most 50 to start doing more deals!

Knowing exactly what a small segment of your “list” wants is significantly more profitable than throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks! Be a wholesaler/ real estate investor not a collector of email addresses and useless phone numbers. You aren’t a rolodex or craigslist spammer (by the way I hate those ass clowns) so don’t just hold information and not put it to good use! Connecting with your buyers and getting the houses they want is the best way to do more deals!

A Quick Tip

14
by on June 3, 2010 at 11:51 pm

Here is a quick yet useful tip for wholesale real estate investors. Sign up for other wholesalers property buyer lists especially when you are just getting started! Why you ask? Because they do a lot of legwork for you for free without even knowing it. About half of them that you sign up for don’t know how to really send a bulk email… What this means for you is a free buyers list! Check the to and cc section of the email for other people receiving the emails and voila a free buyers list for spending a few seconds to sign up.

Who Are You? Get Over It!

21
by on May 31, 2010 at 8:07 pm

What or who are you? I know some people who have a problem seeing either themselves or other people as real estate investors, especially people who are just into wholesaling houses. Some say that wholesalers are investors because the rarely put their own money into deals, and because they aren’t holding onto properties. Wholesalers are just marketers blah blah bla f’n blah. Every body has heard the same tired ass b.s. from somewhere whether it be a landlord, rehabber or just some jackass on bigger pockets (which I highly recommend you checking out… go ahead click it I’ll be here when you get back). Yet all those things that are said about people who wholesale the real “big dogs” are exactly the same things also. They are just brave, rich, stupid,ballsy or whatever enough to invest with their own money also (f.y.i. I don’t think its stupid never have actually) . Except they don’t do one thing quite as fast as wholesalers do. Get to motivated sellers with ______ ( I’m not going to tell them haha.)

Anyways lets wrap up this holiday post with the answer everyone wants yes wholesalers are real estate investors no matter how people try to argue it gets shut down with the dictionary. You can’t f#$% with the word of Webster!

Invest-

1. to put (money) to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value.

2. to use (money), as in accumulating something: to invest large sums in books.

3. to use, give, or devote (time, talent, etc.), as for a purpose or to achieve something.
So there it is in just plain black and white indisputable evidence. So now some final words of encouragement get over it whether its a hurdle preventing you from having confidence to say it or just the fact you are a stuck up jackass get over it! You’re all really entrepreneurs on top of it all. Now all sides and innocent bystanders even go invest in some real estate dammit!
