Not enough sellers??

Good morning DG superstars,

Are you guys finding it difficult to find sellers? At least here in AZ it seems like b/c houses are priced so aggressively its making it difficult to get to sellers before the next person. I spoke with an agent who is also a friend and she confirmed that houses are being bought so fast she is having trouble finding deals/homes for her buyers. She also stated that homes are not being sold under the listing price. If this is true then are there still wonderful discounted homes out there for investors like us to buy?

Just curious to see if anyone else is dealing with this. and if you are what are some strategies and tactics you guys have in place to help get to buyers before the next person.

Thanks

HI PHILLIP.........

Do u have buyers to sell/market to? I guess in your case....I wouldn't depend just on what your/friend or realtor is saying? That person sounds a little negative.

Here are some ideas for you.............

Have you read any of Dean's books?
Get some maps, plot out the cash buyers in the area your looking in.
Go out and talk to people....u never know where your next tip will come from.
I MAKE IT A POINT TO CALL AT A MINIMUM, 5 FSBOS A DAY.
And Craigs list.There r litterally tons of them on there.
Old expireds off the MLS.....SELLERS!!!lol
Are u friends with your title co.......sometimes, fsbos don't close (the buyer's funding may not have gone thru)-Ask the closer if there has been any that did not close- get the name of the seller, contact...then contract!!!!lol

you want to do this....you'll find ways...U will get there...just keep going!!

HOPE THIS HELPS, ERSIE

It's not necessarily a case

It's not necessarily a case of being negative, but more a case of being realistic. All real estate is local.

Thank you, I am going to

Thank you, I am going to continue to find those motivated sellers. I was just caught by surprise when I was told that sellers are pretty slim right now. I dont think my agent friend was being negative infact she said she had buyer for me if I could provide the sellers. I will let everyone know what comes about.

Thanks

Phil
