Day 45

As you might tell, I didn't post this yesterday. I was up too late doing analysis to blog.

This was basically my RE day:
I answered my emails and PMs
I think I posted to a journal (can't remember )
I pinned my cash solds and active listings.
That took almost all day and night because I was having Google Earth problems. I finally figured how to outsmart the problem but it took more time.

Here's a hint for anyone reading this:
I use a color coding method for finding which MLS leads to go after first. I use the same colored pin for all my cash solds and a different color for all my active listings. Once I find which sold is an investor, I change the pin to a separate color dedicated solely to that person. I then pin all the properties listed on the appraiser's site for that investor. Once you have that done, you can see which active listing is in an area that an investor has bought before. I find this helps show me leads I mark "A" to work. The other leads then go to my "B" list. Both lists then get sorted by probability (DOM, Vacant, As-is, etc).
I realize that this method may take a bit longer with high volume areas but in my area I am looking at pinning under 100 items. I figure, take the extra time since a great looking "probability" is almost worthless if it's in the middle of nowhere. Why go through the research then find that out?
When you see all the colors, the whole picture falls into place.

So that's it for now. I am off to meet with the Agent to try and hammer out a "working together" manifest.

Till later...
