Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

Print out several pages of the attached document and attache it to a clipboard with a pen taped to a string and hand it out at the back of the room, then sit in the front of the room and when it comes to you you simply keep it:)

Happy Hunting!

As a real estate coach working for Dean I come across great ideas from students from time to time, but there is one that stands out as truly genius! here is a page out of Darren Ferrell's book, on how to get the most results from bandit signs and avoid them getting taken down!! (See attached picture!)

Hi DGers,

I need help. I need to find buy & hold buyers, landlords, investors that want to ADD sfh rentals to their portfolios - you know who I'm talking about. And I'm coming up dry as a BONE!

I have already:

- gone through my buyers list and still send them the properties
- offered them to bird dogs to find buyers
- offered co-marketing
- placed Craigslist ads
- placed ads on dozens of sites
- created Postlets
- called landlords (seriously!)
- talked to realtors
- joined REI groups and talked to them
- joined multiple online REI sites / clubs (obviously here at DG also)

I've got nothing. I'm at a loss. And I don't understand. Maybe I'm too close to it to see my problem...that's why I'm appealing to you all here!

If your looking for REAL buyers, all of the internet research and responding to online ads doesn't compare to actually getting out there face to face making your contacts. A lot of investors will spend their entire day sending house info to craigslist but the truth about it is that 85-90% of the "so called cash buyers" on craigslist are really just wholesalers with weak buyers' list trying to tie up property while they scavenge up a buyer. As my fellow DG'er michaelmangham once stated- REAL buyers don't have time to sit online making and calling ads because their too busy out there actually making it happen. The point is that I'd rather have 2 or 3 real buyers than hundreds of craigslist imposters wasting time and can't even buy your deals.

Hello my DG family,

I got two big time buyers with deep pockets in CA last week who are looking for deals in LA county, San Diego County, Riverside, and Orange county.

They are looking for SFR, condos, townhouses, multi-family. As long as the numbers make sense they will buy it.

Please PM me and we will go from there

Thanks and I would appreciate a response to this

Hey Dg'ers, got a nicely priced property to sell from one oof my fellow wholesalers, making it a co-wholesale deal. I've sent a few emails to prospective buyers giving all info on the house except the address. Instead i give them the zip code and the 2 closest main cross streets when its a property i do not own. 1 of the guys emailed me back requesting the address. Should I give it to him even though he's made no indication of a confirmation on the deal? I find it ironic that every time I disclose addresses on wholesale deals I stop getting calls/emails and they mysteriously become sold. Or maybe I'm just overreacting. Should I tell him that I need an EMD or some other confirm to the deal because he seems pretty interested. Thanks in advance for your great RE wisdom

In articles from two different financial websites, the Baby Boomer generation’s influence on home prices over the coming years is discussed. They seem to be taking two opposite viewpoints, but perhaps there’s another explanation for the differences in the authors’ views.

Baby Boomers and Golden Handcuffs of Real Estate

This article discusses the position in which many boomers will find themselves as they’re retiring. They have high value real estate but are cash challenged. These golden handcuffs place them in an equity rich but cash poor position. California is the state used as an example, with boomers hitting retirement with huge equity in their homes but many aren’t expected to sell and move.

I placed 35 bandit signs last week and my phone hasn't stopped ringing!

1 call from a hungry handyman.
1 call from a house cleaer
and 1 call every hour on the hour from Code Enforcements automated voice blast letting me know I need to come into their office to be removed from their database... very polite... even told me to have a "code compliant day"!

I have come across several great deals on hotels recently. If you are a serious buyer of hotels or know of a buyer for a couple great deals then please pm me or leave a message on my website by clicking the link below my name. One of the hotels has a 23% CAP Rate and one of the hotels can be bought for 1.2 million that normally sells for 3 million. Thanks, Tammy

It doesn’t matter whether you’re flipping properties, wholesaling or locating rental real estate for investors, high net worth investor types don’t all fit in one bucket. This isn’t a discussion of commercial versus residential; instead a look at how high net worth investors differ in their investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and levels of experience.

Your constant competitor in this arena is investment in REITs, Real Estate Investment Trusts. Buying into REITS is passive investing that leaves all of the work to others. However, it also leaves all of the decisions to others, and you can use that in your pitch to get high net worth investors involved a little more actively in buying, selling, renting and managing properties.
