________________________________

Patrick,

Hey! Hope all is going well . . . You’re beginning to resemble those gurus out there. (c’mon Dave . . . I’m just a regular guy remember : )

I had a question about initial introduction of the investment opportunity to the prospect. Do you prefer email or phone call? I’ve started to contact prospects and have received little response via email. (please note each email is sent individually to tailor toward each person, establish rapport, and reference our last pt of contact). These are not cold contacts, but individuals I already know.

Any advice? Thanks buddy.

-Dave

How to Wholesale Out of Town Real Estate Deals

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

2 Comments »

I jumped on the phone with one of my new students last week, and he had a question about wholesaling out of town deals. He said he had a motivated seller on his hands with plenty of equity . . .  BUT the property was out of state and he didn’t know what to do.

So what’s the best way to cash in on “out of town” deals?

Well, I would have to say wholesaling would be the easiest way to . . . I’ve broken the process down to six steps  so that you can make big money on properties that are “out of town” . . .  even if the property is a thousand miles away.


Got any questions? Toss ‘em in the comment area.

P.S. – Wholesaling is the best way to create quick cash investing in real estate… AND you don’t need cash or credit to do so.

I made $10,000 on my first wholesale deal when I was just 22 years old!

How to Research Real Estate Investing Leads

Monday, May 11th, 2009

1 Comment »

You get a call from a motivated seller … they leave you a message with their name and property address … what’s your next step?

One of the first things that I do is research the lead on my local county government website. You can find out some very useful information like who is on the deed to the property, the last sale date, last sale amount, bedrooms, baths, square footage, and much more in just a couple minutes. This helps to qualify the lead and gives you additional information before you talk to the seller.

I shot this quick video to show you how to I research leads on my county website (and how you can too) …


Here’s Your Homework:

If you are unfamiliar with your local county website, go google it now … “<county name> <state> county website”. Once you find it, see how much information you can uncover … if you need help navigating the site, call and ask someone at the courthouse to help you “research real property online”.

The Simple Way to Overcome Real Estate Investing Obstacles

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

2 Comments »

Real Estate Investing ObstaclesIn today’s post, Julie Broad of Rev N You is going to break down the simple way to overcome your real estate investing obstacles . . .

Tony Robbins has often been quoted as saying “You get what you focus on”. I think that powerful statement is the simple answer to so many challenges we face in our lives.

On a recent mountain bike ride down one of Vancouver’s north shore mountains, I experienced first hand the power of this statement. As we were cruising along I noticed a fairly large tree root sticking up from the ground on the trail ahead. I had enough room to pass on the left, but it was tight. I started to get nervous about hitting the root. I was in control of my bike and I was able to slow down, but my focus remained on the root.
