OfflineOk so, I have read the books. I have the tools. I have the brains. I have the confidence, drive, motivation. I even have some leads and a bit of a buyers list. What I dont have, is any experience. What I am trying to do is an assignment deal to try to generate some start up money to actually purchase a property for a rental and or a flip. Anyway I plan on making some calls today to a few realtors about some foreclosed properties. What concerns me though is what to say to the seller/realtor to get them interested in working with me. To get them to lock up contracts. To get them to except 100 dollars in earnest money. I mean the strategy is very brilliant and after reading Deans books I feel I do understand it. I am just a bit weary on how to sell it. I havent had any success in convincing sellers to work with me. Any advice on what to say? Or how to Bring up the strategy? Is honesty the best policy or is there some sort of old school salesman trick?
No ones gunna give it to ya. Ya hafta take it.
I think there's a sample letter in the book Profit from Real Estate (for realtors), if you have it. You can use that one or create your own, print them, fax or send them to the office of different realtors. I have not used a realtor yet in my deals because I haven't found one that meets the standard. I tried some when I started with REOs before but did not go thru. I decided to concentrate on FSBOs and have not used a single realtor yet. Blessings to all. LA
Everytime you repeat the words "I CAN DO IT" with conviction, you cancel or override your fear and increase your confidence. By repeating this affirmation over and over, you can eventually build your courage and confidence to the point where you are unafraid. -Brian Tracy-
Yep, honesty is the best policy...but you need to find out first if the RE Agent is on board. You want to know if he/she works with investors and if he/she is willing to work with "New" investors like yourself. Like Brian said above, there is a sample note/letter on page 114 of "Profit From Real Estate Now", if you have it, which you can use to fax or e-mail to RE Agents in your area. If he/she agrees to work with you, let them know exactly your plan of attack. Good Luck.
