Here is why the Property Launch Formula is the best way to build your buyers list

Jul 9th, 10 / 0 Comments

If you do a property launch the right way, you will build your buyers list by 100-300 buyers per launch or more.  These are buyers that are VERY interested in the type of property you have to offer.

Not only that, then you have a list of buyers you can show other properties to.

This is a way to stack your property sales one on top of the other.

You have to do this the right way though for it to work correctly.

I have done several of these on my houses over the last year and it really does work.

If you would like to hear all about how the property launch formula works, you need to check this video out.  It’s available as soon as you register for the webinar that we are holding on Monday.

Go to this link right now to learn all about how to build your buyers list fast, sell your property fast and get top dollar for it while doing so.

The other real estate investors and real estate agents in your area will be left confused and not knowing what just happened right under their noses.

If you are in real estate in any capacity, you do not want to miss this video and webinar.

Last Chance To Get Sellpoint For Free

Jul 7th, 10 / 0 Comments

OK, two very important things:

FIRST, you only have a few hours left to get Sellpoint
for free.

This is the crazy cool software from my marketing team
that will turbo-charge your listings and SYNDICATE
them out to 40 super-powerful sites.

Now we all knew that Sellpoint was too good to
remain free… but I thought we might have a little
longer.

Turns out it’s been so popular that they are shutting
down the free accounts on Thursday, July 8th at
midnight.

This is the link to get your account:

http://RapidReiResults.com/sellpoint

SECOND, there’s been some confusion about those
free Sellpoint accounts.

Some people seem to think the accounts aren’t
REALLY free, or you need to refer additional people
into Sellpoint to get a free account.

Both of those rumors are FALSE.

This is the REAL deal:

1. You can get Sellpoint for free for 2 full years. All
you have to do is sign up.

Period.

End of story.

Click this link to sign up and register
http://RapidReiResults.com/sellpoint

2. You can also get a LIFETIME free account if you
refer three people who are also in the real estate
business into a free Sellpoint account (before it’s taken down on Thursday.)

It’s that simple. Just go here to get started:

http://RapidReiResults.com/sellpoint

To Your Success,
Marshall

P.S. They say the best things in life are free…
and I totally believe that.

But the best things in your Real Esate business
definitely are NOT free. Except Sellpoint… but
this one’s only free until Thursday at midnight.
So be sure to act now:

Two Great Resources for you today

Jun 28th, 10 / 0 Comments

You may have heard some hoopla about a site that will syndicate your property listings to a BUNCH of other websites.
Well, I can tell you from first hand experience that the more sites your houses are listed on the better.  I have on more than one occasion been told, “Wow, you are everywhere I turn around when we searched for a home!”

That is music to my ears.

However, when I was getting those results early on, it was REALLY hard work.  I was working hard trying to get my properties on as many sites as I could.
You see, you never know where your potential buyer may be looking.  That’s why you need to start popping up wherever they may be.  By the way, there are a TON of real estate websites.  You want to definitely be on the biggest sites, but you also need to think about being on sites that may be more specific to your area.  Only you will know where those are.  You should ask around and see where others are advertising.
You can also advertise on my site if  you have wholesale properties.

Go to this page and join my newsletter list to get access to the wholesale real estate listings site.

http://rapidreiresults.com/wordpress
I have an even cooler site listing resource for you today.

One of my local friends in Ohio just released the application I’ve been using for the past couple of weeks… only this time the version has MORE to it than the one I’ve been paying for…. and it won’t cost you a dime!!

Yes, that right, he is flat out giving it to you and it will syndicate your properties to approx. 40 different real estate listing related websites.

http://rapidreiresults.com/sellpoint

Now, just so you know, I am using this site for my properties right now.  In fact, I just did one earlier this afternoon and blasted that listing out.

It took me about 15 minutes to get all of the home details loaded up and then I loaded up the pictures, then I blasted that listing to every site on the list.  So, about 15 minutes and then had it out on about 35 or 40 sites (a couple failed to upload).  Now that was sweet!  If it took 15 minutes per site for me to manually upload the homes, I just saved myself hours of work.

This weekend I added 39 new potential buyers to my list because they were able to find my website due to all of the marketing back to my main page.  Pretty cool.  I highly recommend this site.

http://rapidreiresults.com/sellpoint

Disclosure: While I’m a user of this service and there is no charge for it for the next 2 years, I might get a commission if you decide to purchase something down the road from the company releasing this site.  Who cares thought right?  If it will help you, just do it.  :)

How much traffic does your Real Estate website get?

Apr 23rd, 10 / 0 Comments

Do you even have a website?

What percentage of visitors are opting in or calling you based on what they see on your site?
Any idea at all on the numbers there?

Are you even monitoring the number of visitors you get to your website?

For the past four years I have been using websites in my REI biz. This truly set me apart in the early days as most investors did not have a website for their properties. These days, it is less common for someone NOT to have a website and your customers expect it.

Regarding traffic, initially, I just went by what my internal website stats were telling me about visitors. While that was OK at the time, it did not tell me enough about WHERE the site visitors were coming from.

When I needed more information, I turned to using Google Analytics. This shows me how many visitors are coming directly to my site by typing it in or clicking a link in an e-mail, vs search engine visitors, and other sites they may find a link on. To be sure, there are a number of other programs you can use to monitor website traffic, however, start with Google Analytics. It’s free and pretty easy to setup.

Over the past couple of years I have been studying a great deal about Search Engine Optimization and Traffic generation techniques. Yes, that probably does make me a bit of a tech geek. I have a natural tendency to go in that direction though because my background has always been in IT work.

Recently, I have taken on a few clients locally to help them with their websites.
Here are some of the ways I may be able to help you.
1) If you have a website but need more traffic.
2) If you don’t have a website at all and just want something easy to call your own.
3) If you need help getting setup with an AutoResponder series to help retain visitors and keep them coming back to your site and eventually become customers.
4) Even if you just want to post your properties to a site to get them more exposure. The more sites you have your properties on the better. I have a couple of free sites you can post your properties to.

My personal consulting will be a limited opening though as I only have so many hours in the day. :)

Also, if you just want some great Search Engine Optimization techniques, go grab this free interview on my other website.
http://RapidMktResults.com

You can do much of this work yourself, or you can hire it out. Be careful who you hire though and make sure they understand exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish.

Shoot me a message and let me know what you need help with.
I have been through several different real estate related website systems through the years and can help you get yours setup or setup a custom site for you.

The #1 Secret to Getting Your Buyers Funded

Apr 13th, 10 / 3 Comments

We had an EMERGENCY webinar several weeks ago.
Did you miss it?…

Why was it an emergency? Because, if you don’t know how to do this, you are going to miss out on this VERY short lived opportunity. This is real.
It has a REAL deadline, set in stone by Congress and our President…
Now, we are really down to crunch time…

Can anyone really do this?…

Yes… absolutely!

Even if you have absolutely zero experience in real estate or have never done a single deal and don’t have the slightest clue where to begin you need to hear this information. We did the webinar live several weeks ago… but, we are bringing it back because this program expires very soon.

If you DO have experience buying and selling (or trying to sell) houses, you MUST get on this encore call. I just personally did this on two of my houses and sold one in about 2 weeks…. converted the other one from lease option tenants into real buyers.

I have good news for you though. If you missed the webinar the first time around, enter your name and your e-mail address below to get signed up for our encore call.
We have it setup for you right now.

If you are struggling to find buyers or to finally make money in real estate, you’re definitely going to want to hear what Tony has to say…

Why?

You see the reason most investors fail is simply because they are afraid to take action because they are afraid that they can’t sell the property quickly!

I get that.

Buying houses has never been easier than it is today, especially for those that understand how to buy creatively, without bank loans or writing huge checks.

What if you could learn how to actually have the I.R.S. help fund the deal for your buyers and you won’t need to get your buyers qualified?

I know Tony is doing that today, in this market, and selling his houses in days, not weeks or months, at full retail price, with No Contingencies….

I don’t want you to miss your chance to finally make money in real estate. Because on this webinar Tony and I will take you by the hand and show you how to get your own Investor Stimulus Package…

So… go check it out.

Do you want to grab some of the cash that the Obama Administration is literally handing out?
Due to the time sensitive nature of this information, you don’t even need to schedule this. We were able to get an on-demand recording setup for you.

Tony and I will tell you how he is doing it!… Just sign up below for the encore webinar.
As soon as you confirm your e-mail address, you will be taken straight to the webinar.

By the way… The Investor Stimulus Package
is designed for ANYONE to have success in real estate…

You DON’T need to know any real estate jargon

You DON’T need to have money to advertise

You DON’T need to have any technical know how

You DON’T need to have “connections” in real estate

You DO need to be on the Webinar!

Disclosure: The webinar training is totally complimentary. However, if you decide to purchase the course from Tony, he will pay me a commission for the sale. This will not affect your pricing AT ALL. In fact, you are getting a better deal than the general public on this product because I beat Tony up on the pricing for my list. I will also include some bonuses if you purchase the Investor Stimulus Package, just e-mail me your receipt.

How to Get a Six or Eight Thousand Dollar Raise in the Month of April by Investing in Real Estate

Apr 13th, 10 / 0 Comments

I’m sure you are aware of the First Time Home buyer
tax credit expiring…

It’s also for folks that already owned a home in the recent past…
(The maximum a recent owner can get is $6500)

This program goes away at the end of April.

Were you aware that the next 2.5 weeks are going to be crazy with
people scrambling to try to secure a home so they can get their credit?

After all, it’s up to $8000 and that is a CREDIT not a deduction.
That means, even if they owe ZERO in taxes, they will still get the
tax credit money.

How would you like to get that money funneled into your pocket while

helping someone attain their dream of homeownership?

You could go out and purchase a property this week or next and still get
that property under contract with your buyer before the credit expires!

This could be the easiest way to make a $6000, $6500 or even up to $8000+
pay increase in the month of April
(Well, you’ll have to wait on the IRS, but still!)

Were you also aware that you can do this type of deal with your
current tenants?

Did  you know you can do it with them or anyone else even if they
have credit issues?

I did a webinar with a friend of mine several weeks ago where we
discussed the ins and outs of the program and how to get YOUR
stimulus.

I asked him today if we can rebroadcast the webinar because so many
people are trying to learn how to do this before the program expires…

and he agreed to post it again.

So, sign-up here with a valid e-mail address.

As soon as you confirm the e-mail address, you will be forwarded over

to the webinar recording.



Then, just click the play button on the recording to
start viewing.

Since this is so time sensitive, go watch it right away and see how
you can incorporate this into your business model immediately….

before the credit expires.

While the previous credit was extended, I do not believe it will be
extended again.
Many industry experts agree that it likely will NOT be extended either.

So, you better jump on this now.
This is not some BS marketing scarcity technique.


It’s a law and it goes away in about 2 weeks.
Get on this now and figure out how to do these deals right and not have them blow-up
in your face.

Well that’s it, goodbye homebuyer tax credit

Mar 30th, 10 / 0 Comments

If you have not taken advantage of the homebuyer tax credt yet, you are running out of time.

Here is the deal, you MUST have a home under contract before the end of Apirl, 2010.

If you write up a contract on May 1, 2010, you are out of luck.

Check out this article from CNN Money today.

http://money.cnn.com/2010/03/30/pf/taxes/homebuyers_last_chance/index.htm

Then, you need to close on the home before June 30th (Well, actually you have until June 30th, but don’t schedule your closing for that day.  You will very likely have problems getting the deeal done.

If you are looking for a home or thinking about looking for a home, go join my buyers list and I will see if I can help you or if one of my associates can help you find a place.

I’m personally in the Cincinnati, OH area, but my network is spread out all across the U.S.

8 Steps to market your wholesale real estate properties to rehab buyers

Mar 24th, 10 / 3 Comments

Here is a tip I know you will love and below you will find an 8 step process that you can follow to successfully build your rehab buyers list to be able to sell your wholesale real estate properties.

If you are struggling to find buyers for your rehab deals you definitely need to try this.

Find out who is buying right NOW and where they are buying.  You can likely find this in your local county records or an investor friendly realtor you may know.   (I actually use a software tool that does this for me know.  Leave me a comment if you want to hear about it).

You need to speak with these real rehab buers and find out what they are looking for.

Many rehabbers do NOT want to go digging through 100 properties to find one to rehab.  They have better things to do with their days than to go dragging themselves through dead deals.  You know, things like managing the rehab projects they have going.

Once you find out what they are looking for and where they are looking, find out if they will buy the deal from you if you bring it to them first.  Get a handful of these rehabbers and you will be able to farm deals to them all day long.  They want to know that what you are bringing them is truly a great deal.  Don’t get gready here on your pricing either.  Find out what type of work they are willing to do, how much they want to buy for and go find the deals for them.

Here are the steps.

  1. Line up funding through a transactional funding source (Yes, do this first)
  2. Find rehab buyers (Cash buyers or cash equivalent are the only ones you want to deal with)
  3. Figure out which rehab buyers are the most active and get their buying criteria
  4. Find truly awesome deals and get them under contract.
  5. Line up one of your rehab buyers you found from above that wants to buy the property and sign a contract with them.
  6. Purchase the deal yourself with the funding you lined up from step 1 above.
  7. Then close with your rehab buyer either the same day or within a few days if your funding source will allow it. (Some will even let you hold it for 30-90 days if you have a signed contract with your buyer.  This is the type of funding you really need to seek.)
  8. Shorter term is better here so the deal doesn’t go South which is why you want cash buyers that don’t need to rely on bank financing and their possible seasoning rules.

Now, obviously, there is more to it than this if you want to build a truly successful real estate wholesaling business.  I’m assuming that you already know how to value a property and know how to figure out repairs.  The above advice is meant for someone that knows how to run with it.  If you don’t know the other steps in the process, you need to learn those as well.

Start building your buyers list now though and get that transactional funding (if you need help with this, leave me a comment below).  As you build your list, you will learn a great deal from the rehabbers you speak with.  They are the most important part of the equation.  They will tell you what they are looking for.  If they don’t, move on to the next one.  Keep their name though.  You might find a deal later that you want to speak with them about.

Do not forget about a rehab buyer that you uncovered just because they were rude the first time you tried to talk to them.   Put their contact information in a database and keep as many notes about them as you can think of.

These guys get calls from people just starting out all of the time.  Keep dripping info to them to show them you are around and still working in the market.  A good rule of them here is to contact them at least 5 times.  That’s an old marketing rule.  Most people will not do business with someone the first time.  They have to warm up to you.  So, keep after it.  Call them, e-mail them if you have legitimately gotten their e-mail address, send them a postcard with a property on it, etc.

Also, don’t miss the webinar tonight where we will be discussing how you can wholesale student housing deals and also get access to Guaranteed Funding.

Top 6 ways to build your buyers list.

Mar 15th, 10 / 1 Comment

You need to build your buyers list with active, cash buyers!

“How in the heck do I do that when first starting out” you may ask.

Assuming you are a real estate wholesaler, the only way you are going to succeed is if you build your buyers list BEFORE you have a house to sell.

So, how are you going to do that?

Here are 6 quick tips to building your buyers list fast.

  1. Look in your paper for “We Buy Houses” ads.  These will typically be in the “Real Estate Wanted” section but you may need to look around before you find it.
  2. Look on Craigslist – Here you will find people that are trying to rent out or sell properties they have purchased.  If they are actively selling, they are probably also buying.  The ony way you will find out is if you contact them.  I recommend calling them as opposed to e-mailing.  Craigslist is rampant with spam e-mails and many people just ignore the messages.  If you see a phone number call it.  If you see a website address, cautiously explore it (Make sure you have current Anti-Virus software just in case it is a malicious site)
  3. Place your own ad on Craigslist asking for cash buyers to contact you with their property requirements.  You can also use a website to capture names and e-mail addresses.  Make sure your site looks professional so you don’t raise red flags from the visitor and make sure you have alternate contact info on your website. (If you want help in this area, let me know).
  4. Create a Twitter account and connect with other real estate investors in your area.  This may be a relatively small number of people in your area, but it is growing quickly and many tech savy investors are using Twitter for multiple reasons.  (If you want help with this area, leave a comment).
  5. Go to your local REIA meeting and put your business cards and a flyer out for others to grab.  Meet as many people as you can and ask for their business cards.  They will inevitably ask for yours so make sure you have one.  Got to http://vistaprint.com for inexpensive cards or contact your local printer.
  6. Use other online sources like backpage, postlets, kijiji, e-bay real estate for more contacts.

This will take some time, but the better your list, the more easily you will be able to sell that property you get under contract.
