Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

We will have 2 offers locked up...We want to do a double closing using one of the transactional companies...We do have the option to assign it as well, but more money can be made doing a double closing, and there is enough room to do so...

so, what is the best way to advertise a property for a double closing...we don't technically own the home, so how do we go about telling people we want to buy it, and sell it to them the same day???

I have been trying to market on Craigslist, however if you go to any city, you will see it is over-saturated with investors ready to help with Foreclosure. How are we to compete with that?! If I continue to put anymore ads on Craigslist, I will just add to the cloud of ads for real estate services.

Does anyone know where else or have another way to market to buy/sell properties?

I have done the 24hr 800 number, website, networking, business cards, etc, etc.

However, I am not getting any leads. HELP! I will not fail, I will succeed.

Some of the best deals out there are from sellers who don't even know that they want to sell.

Let's say you have an owner (let's call him/her Pat) who owns an investment house in Wisconsin but lives in Iowa. Pat collects the rent payment for the house, but never really travels to the house to check up on it and it's condition. Pat doesn't really enjoy being an investor, but doesn't think the house could be sold in this market.

Pat is a casual Twitter user. One day, Pat sees a Tweet from a follower that reads, "I just helped another homeowner unload their house in this recession."

Double closings are the hottest selling silver bullet for investors interested in flipping houses. They allow you to:

Get around financing requirements by quickly moving money from one account to another
Keep your purchase price secret by never exposing your contract
Work with less liquid buyers because the "assignment fee" is financed

On p.71-2 of "Right Now" one of Dean's students describes how he used a down payment from his prospective purchaser to, among other things, fix up a property he had under contract. Since he doesn't explain how this occurred I am not understanding that.

What prospective purchaser would allow his down payment to be used at all for anything other than closing the transaction? What happened to the escrow in this case? How did he convince the prospective buyer to allow use of the down payment?

When the time come to assign a property whats the best way to explain to the party that I can get it sold faster than any other method. Whats so different between me and a agent. Can someone help me on this subject.

Investor Tip
By Jeff Jensen

As investors, we’re always going to start with whatever we have the lease of first, right? For example in a fast moving real estate market we begin with the property. There are fewer good deals and we understand that when we find a good deal we will be able to cut it loose quickly. In a fast moving market buyers are plentiful and can easily be found virtually anyplace. In this type of market 10% below value may be considered a “Killer Deal”, many homes sell at market value and above.
