OfflineJust closed on another deal , this was an absentee owner, that just wanted out.He owned it free and clear.He originally wanted 60K, I had talk with him twice , and he was really stuck on that number.So about 1 week went by and he called me and said he would drop it to $48K. So I let him think I still may have trouble moving it, and would he give me a contract on $46k.He agreed and I had a buyer that fit this house perfect.The end buyer is a buyer I got from a Cash Buyer letter campaign.Long story short
The house ARV $91,000, I got it for $46,300 , It needed $3000.00 in repairs.I assigned it to my end buyer for $5000.00. So he got it for $51,300.
I got the list of absentee owners from my realtor for free. You have to have a great realtor on your side.
This was a 3BR 1 BA Ranch 1100 sq ft.
On to the next one.

thanks for sharing!
is that a parameter (absentee owners) that the real estate agents can enter when they do their search?
that's amazing that all it took was one week for the owner to drop the price! definitely a motivated seller!

Did you slide your realtor a little something for providing the list of absentee owners? Great realtors will continue to work with great investors.
Way to "turn and burn"!
Nice fee (almost 10%). Get in, get rich and get OUT!!
Keep it up with a few more of those and you won't be CLEANING offices; you'll be SELLING 'em!!!
Congrats Curtis on another job well done and an amazing use of resources!!!

Deals are always out there. Curtis, you have proven that. In order to be successful you take the things you have been taught and then use your mind to make the needed adjustments in order to have success. Thinking outside of the box will always go a long way in making the deal happen.
A deal like you just did would bring in more than $250,000 a year if you replicate it every week. Even then it probably would not be a full time job. Keep focused and working hard. You aare on the right path.
When we fully grasp just how big this markket is, we will realize that the opportunities for success are unlimited. When the taste of winning becomes something we want on a regular basis we will ALWAYS find the deal. Curtis you are now walking down that path.

Way to get it done Curtis!

I see that you got this buyer from a mailing campaign. I was wondering if you could elaborate on the ins and outs of this campaign and what exactly you do. This has been an area that I have struggled with a bit (locating qualified buyers). Any help is greatly appreciated
Thx!

You can do the mail campaign a few ways, but they both do the same. one is have your realtor run the cash purchases in the area your interested in and then you send those cash buyers a letter telling them that you find great deals in that same area etc, etc. Look for the ones that have bought more then one.
The other way is if you have software, this is the one I use is gives you the cash buyers and their mailing address and already has the letter for you you just print as many as you want and then mail them. Also with the software you can have it outsourced to Click 2 Mail and they do it for you.
On my last campaign it was a small area it cost me $8.80 and got a good buyer from it.Hope this helped

I actually have a list of cash buyers that bought in the last 90 days ( a total of about 200). Now I just gotta make time to send the letters :0. I was just wondering if you used something else...
In regards to the software, are you using Dean's?
Your info did help
