’Talking Head’ Real Estate Videos

Leave a reply

Real estate videos are getting easier and easier to produce… and cheaper and cheaper to create. Most people are familiar with the virtual tour type of real estate video where you can see a 360 tour of the property.

However, the virtual tours of the 90s and early 2000s are getting outdated fast, not to mention, they distort the property.

In this article, we’re going to talk about a different kind of real estate video: The Talking Head. (For more information on property videos, see the article entitled “Real Estate Video to Find Buyers”). Continue reading →

Sell Your House At Auction

Leave a reply

One of the biggest keys to success with potential buyers in a buyers’ market is the perception that they are “getting a deal”. Using an auction, whether going through an auction house or conducting a silent, private, auction on your own is a great way to give potential homebuyers the perception of a great deal!

NOTE: Be sure to check with an attorney in your area to make sure that you have all of your legal requirement in place to protect yourself when you’re selling through a home auction.

If you were to poll a group of motivated homebuyers and ask them; what is the most important thing they are looking for in a purchase, you would think maybe it would be the number of bedrooms, square footage or location, when the reality is they just want to know they are getting a deal. Sure, the other criteria is “part” of the equation, but the “deal” is the clincher! Continue reading →

Real Estate Video to Find Buyers

Leave a reply

Real estate video is becoming more and more popular whether you’re talking about property videos or talking head videos to establish trust and credibility.

Now, we’re not talking about the Virtual Tours Realtors® were using in the late 90s and early 2000s. What I’m referring to here is creating real estate videos and posting them to sites like YouTube.com and Vimeo, among others.

With the increasing popularity of these types of sites, it’s impossible to deny the power of video, especially given research that shows between 84%-93% of all buyers start their search online! And of those, you increase your chances of buyers looking at YOUR property when you have a virtual tour, video or slide show. Continue reading →

Don’t Make These Mistakes With Your LLC or Corporation

A business entity can provide personal liability protection for its owners. The problem is that many people start business without proper instruction on how to run and manage agreements between parties, agreements with customers, internal paperwork, cash controls, voting rules, state and Federal reporting requirements and a host of other issues.

In fact, we have found between 20 to 25 actions, behaviors, or neglected tasks which commonly cause a business structure to be forfeited and can result in personal liability for the owner or owners.

Here are 5 of them:

#1. USING THE BUSINESS FOR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES: YOU CANNOT, SHOULD NOT, AND SHALL NOT USE YOUR BUSINESS TO CHEAT OR DEFRAUD: For example, John Smith gathers money from investors claiming that he will develop a new product for his company. Continue reading →

Flipping Houses: How to Find Buyers

Leave a reply

When you’re flipping houses (aka wholesaling), aside from finding a motivated seller with equity, the most important piece of the puzzle is the ability to find buyers. Here’s a strategy that will show you how to sell a fixer upper (that you currently have under contract) THIS weekend!

This will work if you’ve got a property under contract that you need to wholesale OR if you’ve got a fixer upper you’ve already closed on and you simply need to find a buyer fast. In either case, we’re going to assume that you’ve got to find a buyer, and you’ve got to find a buyer FAST!

Free Property Websites

Leave a reply

There’s no doubt that to be successful in real estate you need a website, a property website, in particular if you’re looking to sell a deal. Property Websites are popping up all over the Internet and for good reason: They are an effective way to get people to view your properties as well as interact with potential buyers all over the world.

There are lots of companies and services that are selling websites for individual properties. You basically go and buy a domain name (i.e. 1234MainSt.com) and they allow you to use one of their templates and host the site for you.

Although this isn’t a “terrible” solution for a property website, it’s not the best alternative. You can get a property website that is more effective, better optimized, and less expensive. Continue reading →

Not sure if you have noticed but slowly and surely real estate markets across the country are picking themselves up from off the mat and starting to fight another round.

Admittedly, “heat wave” may be a little strong for the market as a whole but not for the investor markets. You see, investors have always played vital roles in all real estate markets and the “investor market” within the larger market will always be the first sign of where the train is really headed.

As for one of the tools helping to fuel this market, wholesaling properties is playing a critical role on the market resurgence and hopefully you’ve added this strategy to your business as it has several key advantages that are worth cashing in on. Continue reading →

Wholesale Your Way To Financial Freedom

I have made a fortune wholesaling houses over the last 15 years and it remains to this day my favorite exit strategy. I can not even think of another strategy that provides the level of monthly cash flow – literally tens of thousands of dollars a month with limited time involvement and essentially no risk. The beauty of wholesaling is that you never purchase the property and you get paid on the front end of the transaction! These are quick transactions that take 30-45 days to close and get paid without putting any money or credit at risk. It’s fantastic!

Some would challenge whether this is still a viable strategy in this economy. It absolutely is. We are experiencing an unprecedented time in real estate: prices have tumbled; sellers are not just motivated – they are desperate to sell; the media brainwashes sellers to believe that they will never get a good price for their house; and we’re at the bottom of the market dip with values poised to appreciate again soon.
