Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

I just bought Set For Life!! I expect the DVD 's to arrive this Wednesday...I go back to full time work Thursday...I am a 5th grade teacher in Rochester, NY...can't retire for 8 years...I love teaching, but I want my husband and I to be financially independent NOW!! I know that once Thursday comes I'll be inundated with school work...I gotta make this investing work...How will I do this??

Here is a great way to find the buyers in your local area. The local newspaper in my area publishes all the real estate sales on their web page as well as in the newspaper.

If you go to the on-line version you can then import the data into and excel file (data, import from web). Once you have it there you can sort and organize the data however you want.

There are a number of things you can do with the data:

1. Use it for comps
2. See which banks have foreclosed on properties (potential REOs)
3. Organize the list by buyers
4. organize the list by sellers
5. Organize the list by address

If you organize it by buyer, you can see two things, which banks own a lot of properties, you can then find the small banks and call them to inquire about their properties.

Hey Man I can't believe this I have broken my fears and step out on faith! I have two house that are under contract but it is only for 30 days with the seller!! The houses are free and clear and the seller has the deeds! How do I get buyers! Man I'm so close to closing the deal! I have put ad on craiglist so if you guess can help me it would be a big blessing!

Real Estate Investors Get Rid Of Your Anxiety!

As a real estate investor being unprepared can cause anxiety as well as kill any chances you have of closing deals with motivated sellers. It's the equivalent of taking a test without studying or practicing. You will either fail or lose unnecessarily.

George Allen, one of history's greatest football coaches, said that winning can be defined as the science of being totally prepared. So how do you prepare yourself to deal with sellers?

1) Make sure your real estate education is up to par

The difference between a real estate wholesaler and a real estate agent is that Wholesalers spend most of their time building a buyers list. Wholesalers (if they're doing it right) build their buyers list with active buyers, investors etc... before they even begin locking up deals. The buyers list is the foundation that wholesaling is built on and every good wholesaler spends a lot of time and energy building that list.

Tip:

For the real estate Wholesaler building a buyers list must be an ongoing process if a wholesaler is ever going to be successful. There are many tactics to building a buyers list. Here are a few that I have implemented successfully.

So I know all of the creative and fast ways to build a list of sellers and buyers. I also know that one of the best ways to do this is to place effective bandit signs in your area.

The problem I'm having with this is that I'm hearing its illegal to place bandit signs. I often see signs placed outside in my area. However I am afraid to post them myself, I don't want to be fined or go to jail due to a placement of a sign.

I want to know how do some of the more experience real estate investors here place signs in their local area. Also if your from Louisiana, please tell me how you place them out here without having to deal with the law.

Door Knocking

If someone put a gun to my head and told me that I had 30 days to do a deal or I would die, I would spend the next month door knocking. This is the quickest, cheapest and easiest way to find deals. It is also the method investors use least. Before I tell you how to properly door knock, let me dispel any fears you may have.

how do i know the buyer doesnt just wait until the 14-30 days expires and goes direct to the seller to get a better price once i show them the deal?

I blasted a few ads on craigslist and got a lot of responses from sites that buy homes fast. for example this site here....

http://jipassociates(DOT)com/site/cash-for-your-home

This person sent me an email telling me they close on homes within 9 days. The thing about this is I don't trust these emails or sites. I sent the person a reply and as soon as I sent it I received an auto reply to go directly to their website.

My question is can you do assignments with these types of buyers? Or should I stray away from emails like this?
