Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

One of the best resources that everyone has access to for finding buyers, sellers and building your power team is Real Estate Investment Clubs. Many people don't realize that they have reic's right in their own area. Real Estate Investment clubs are an incredible place to network and connect with local investors, real estate agents, real estate attorneys, loan officers, contractor, hard money lenders etc. When starting out in real estate finding reic's in your surrounding area should be the first thing that you do.

I have been working on building my buyers list and of course tried to use Craigslist to help build my list. So far my results have been mixed to find qualified cash buyers. I have used a lot of techniques I have learned in Dean's books and other sources and haven't had the kind of results I want. I have run several nicely crafted ads at least once a day for the past week and have even thrown a ghost property Ad out there as well. I am also making sure I post the Ads in the different real estate sections to maximize exposure.

If you have had great results finding buyers using Craigslist then I am curious to hear how specifically you are doing it. What does your Ad say? How is it laid out? etc....

Thanks

One of the leading real estate news companies,
“Inman News”, wrote an article on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 discussing the concerns that real estate investors are encountering in today’s market.

Although this article touches on the different markets throughout the US and the increase of “multiple-offer situations” …. Any active real estate investor will tell you that “you can ALWAYS make money in real estate no matter the market conditions!”

Survey: Buyers think market is shifting against them

‘A survey of 982 prospective buyers in 19 markets by tech-based brokerage Redfin shows an increasing conviction that home prices are on the rise, and a growing reluctance to get into multiple-offer situations.

Hi guys,

I just had to post this. I just got my first hit from an invester on Linkedin that is talking about building apartment houses. I just asked him what his idea was. I know it's not mutch, but it's quite exiting to have my first invester contact me about a deal after a year of placeing adds all over everywhere.

A cash buyer just contacted me that they are looking to buy multi properties the criteria is as follo: 3b/2b house(no mobile)up to 65%.LTV-Repairs. Up to 100k in cash. My question to you seasoned investors? Are the person saying they are looking to pay 65% of the market value. Someone give me a figure example to make this clear for me? thanks

I really want to start using the handwritten yellow letter strategy but I need to know what's the best way to go about obtaining the expired listings or absentee owners list. I don't wanna pay to much for it and I don't want to find out after I've purchased that there was an easier and cheaper way of getting it. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! =)

Hi guys ope all is well.
I have a binder right now with all my buyers but,
I was wondering if there is some type of software that is available for keeping tabs on your buyes? If the software is really good You can type an address and all the buyers that buy there will pop up or a price range etc, you get my point.
Thanks, Dave

Looking for Properties that are locked up and in the price range of 20 to 35 with about 15 to 25 in rehab.

I placed an ad on Craigs List in the Austin area. Stating that I buy houses any condition, any situation. Its been 4 days and I didnt get one call what so ever.

Hello DG Family, I am in need of some help here. I am trying to build a buyer's list for the area I'm in which is the far northwest suburbs of chicago, I have posted on craigslist for the past month and did google searches for buyers. So, far no responses from craigslist and when I called the one's I found on google they didn't want to invest this far out of chicago. I will be calling bandit signs in my area tomorrow. I contacted my real estate agent for the cash buyers in my area so far she has sent nothing. I have copied some of the ad's I found here(sorry!) figuring if you all got a response using them why wouldn't I?
