With the recent economic crash felt ‘round the world, it’s never been more important to diversify. You need to introduce multiple streams of income… In other words, diversify your income streams… your investments… your businesses… It’s just how business is going to operate in the new decade.

You’ve got to have a number of ways to bring in money or you’re going to be left holding the bag one of these days.

Real Estate Blog

Do you need a blog for real estate?

The simple answer is: Yes!

It’s not often that an answer in real estate is a definitive YES! But in this case… it’s cut and dry… it’s simple.

When I got started marketing properties online, there was no such “tool”. It was cumbersome, time consuming and mildly effective at best. But, with blogs, it’s become so simple to get up and running FAST.

Here are a few pointers to get you going with your own RE blog fast:

  • Buy a domain name (www.YourDomainName.com)
    You can do this at GoDaddy.com and or 1and1.com.
  • Set up a hosting account that has “cpanel with fantastico”
    Any hosting company should know what you’re talking a Continue reading →

Finding the Right People

I just spent the last week with my “mastermind” team, or my network of people that help me grow our business. And while I was there, I lot of questions came up about referrals, partners, etc. Now, this wasn’t a “real estate” group per se, but we definitely share our resources.

On the plane home, I got to thinking about networking in real estate. There aren’t as many mastermind groups out there. Plus, the cost to enter can be out of reach for many (this one cost me $16,000). So, I thought that since we’re just getting going into 2008, now would be a great time to evaluate our businesses and who’s on our team. So, I decided to post this article..

Here’s a short list of people that you need in your real estate business:

… Accountants
… Attorneys
… Private Lenders
… Rehab Lenders Continue reading →

The following article comes from a situation that recently occurred with one of our own tenants. How would you have handled it?

Here’s the Scenario:

08/01/2007 – Rent is due

08/06/2007 – Rent is officially late. When you finally reach the tenant, you get the sob story: “I had surgery. My mom went to the hospital. My dad panicked. My son’s trying to get me the money and I’m out of work. I promise to have the rent to you by Wednesday… Thursday at the latest”

08/09/2007 –

Guess what? No rent check. The tenant’s willing to drive it up, but the funds aren’t in the bank anyways! Tenant promises AGAIN to call you right after ‘therapy’ tomorrow morning and get it straightened out. VERY, VERY SORRY! Continue reading →

How to Use "Language" to Influence People

Leave a reply

My name is Bill Twyford. I’ve been in the business for little over eight years, and I’ve done almost 850 transactions. I’m very, very assertive. My specialty is communication–talking to homeowners and talking to banks.

So let’s start with some embedded commands. Embedded commands are patterns of language that bypass conscious reasoning and speak directly to the subconscious mind. Embedded commands influence people at the subconscious level. This allows you to direct people to take specific actions.

They will also have specific thoughts and will generally do whatever it is you want them to do. The subconscious is in a constant search for patterns. One command is not a pattern. You have to bombard your customer with command after command after command.

Your brain is always analyzing what’s going on around you. It’s trying to find similar things from your past and trying to line them up. The subconscious mind has stored millions and millions of conversations with other human beings. These conversations have become so routine, that the mind has virtually fallen asleep.
