Are You Using Bandit Signs to Generate Motivated Seller Leads?

4 Comments »

Bandit signs could be a great way to get your phone ringing off the hook with motivated sellers. It was for me when I got started investing in real estate.

My mentor taught me early on that one of the most important parts of being a real estate investor was to get sellers contacting you to sell you their property.

So, I knew the next step was to put together a marketing plan.

Here’s what it looked like:

1) Get business cards made

2) Join local real estate investment association

3) Place “We Buy Houses” ad in local newspaper

4) Buy “We Buy Houses” bandit signs

5) Knock on doors of people facing foreclosure

We thought bandit signs were a good choice because they were relatively inexpensive and there didn’t seem to be too many other investors using them.

With my students, I typically recommend at least testing bandit signs when getting started. The barrier to entry is pretty low, like I just mentioned, and with any form of marketing, it’s all about testing. Even if there are tons of investors using them in your area, you may still want to test them.

I thought I would share some examples of bandit signs and tell you my thoughts on them . . .

Who Else Wants a Seller Financed Deal For Only $1,800 Down?

2 Comments »

Are you one of those non believers that think that you have to have a bunch of cash or credit to get into real estate investing?

Well, if that’s the case, here’s a real world real estate investing case study of one of Wil Christenson’s latest and greatest deals. He specializes in creative deal structuring . . . buying property subject to and creating seller financing to pay sellers for their equity. Wil structured this deal so that the seller took back 100% of the financing so all he had to pay was his closing costs (some attorney fees, title search, deed stamps, etc) which amounted to a whopping $1,800 bucks! That’s it!

And the property was in good shape! Can’t get much better than that . . . all it needs is a little cosmetic work. I decided to shoot a video to highlight exactly how the deal went down.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in the video:

= > How in the heck he found the deal

= > 2 BIG hints when the lead came in that screamed “This Could Be A Great Deal!”

= > Key questions Wil asked to unlock the seller financing potential

= > How he used “The Truth About Taxes” to compel her to finance the deal (and how you can too)

= > The magic question that explodes your wealth when you know how to hold your mouth right

= > How every payment is in essence going in his back pocket

= > and MUCH MORE!
