Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

Internet marketing is an excellent way for real estate professionals to increase their marketing, subsidize their income or replace it all together.

Like many real estate professionals you are probably suffering from the recent turn of events. Well maybe not so recent. And depending where you live it has affected you differently and at different times.

After the sub-prime crisis there has been significant impact to the price of houses across the USA and Canada. Most real estate professionals have been severely impacted. Whether you are a Realtor, mortgage broker or investor you are probably impacted.

House prices are down, sales are down, it's more difficult to get a mortgage. So what can you do?

Ladies and gentelmen I need your help. I remember reading about thia and now I can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thnks DG family.

Who else is having success with yellow letters? I am getting quite a bit of response.. alot of people "want" to sell.. but not too many that "must" sell.

Any advise on how to take the calls?

I have a million $ property that is soo close to selling to me for 680k the owner has stated that she is ready to sell the property (she is the executor) but her sister "would be mad" at her if she did and is having family issues.

?How much should I push? how should I follow up? just phone calls? or more letters of reminders? ?

love to hear your thoughts!

I am doing 1000 properties, on a 5 touch campaign now into the 3rd mailing.. but just one deal and several potentials.

How do i turn the potentials into deals?? that is my 100k question. Thanks DG'ers!

The spring selling rush may already be under way, as some home owners are already throwing their properties on the market to take advantage of rebounding home prices and improved equity.

Paul Reid, a real estate agent with Redfin in Temecula, Calif., says some sellers are listing properties earlier than usual in anticipation of the spring season.

Sellers are “nervous about what the spring is going to bring,” says Reid. “They don’t know if everybody will list this spring — then you’ll have a big counterbalance toward too much inventory — or if there’ll be a crunch again. They figure they’ll get out ahead of the market, list, sell, and be done with it.”

A few months back,our US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), guided by Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner Carol J. Galante, had determined that the best way to fix the financial woes of the FHA, was to have low-to-moderate income borrowers foot the bill. In “How the Payroll Tax Cut Is Costing Low Income Borrowers,“ I reported how Commissioner Galante had mandated increases to already expensive Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP), as a means to fund an underfunded 2% reserve requirement in the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) Fund and to offset lost revenues as a result of the payroll tax cut.

This is a copulation of the best markets for Real Estate right now.

Priced to Sell! Two investor homes.

3/1 Home ARV 50K selling for 16K needs some foundation work. Rents at $650-750/monthly!

3/2.5 Home needs a little work. Great buy and hold, fix and flip, or Rents $950/monthly! For more information please see web link here. http://tw4homes.com/properties.html

Every once in a while I find a property that could be a 20% NET CAP rental, but is currently sitting vacant and I have had great results using zillow to determine:

1. What the rental market is?
2. Property Management companies to work with.
3. Renters to rent the property.
4. Cash flow buyers to sell it to?

All from contacting the property managers of the properties for rent next door to the one that you are looking at.

In general it is easy to get a great deal on a vacant rental property because they are usually less desirable to cash flow buyers, but if you can line up the renters while you have the property under contract, it is easy to ask for a higher price for the property and much easier to find buyers interested.

I remember receiving the USA Property wholesale website, but unable to find the link to edit. Can anyone help with directing me to the right area, please?

Many thanks.
