30 Days Quick Cash Formula

We have two Agents we met while looking at properties to buy, fix and flip.From different counties and towns. One has been sending us listings several times a week. She has pulled together the list of "Cash Solds" from the past 90 days. I Tried to look the properties up by internet but for some reason the public site for the counties are not free. So monday I will be going to the Courthouses to find the "Cash Buyers" names.

We received "The EDGE" dvds and have been watching and learning from them. Awesome and inspiring.

So this is where we are at

What county and state are you in? I'll help you find the appropriate website. From the sounds of it you might be on the "County Recorder of Deed's" website. You need to double check that you are on the Assessors or Treasurer's website.

just in case this is the video recommended by just plan-e

take care everybody, love to be on this path together with you... so supportive community

Hey All

I read so many comments on DG but hardly ever comment.. Just hard to pick and choose. That's why I do my blog each week to reach out to you all..

But this string is amazing and so are all the people here helping others. Remember if you want to get twice as successful then help twice as many people do the same. So may of you on this string are such a great example of that.

Please know I am here watching and doing what we can behind the scenes to support you all.. Don't let the no's get any of you off track.. When you hit a "No" or an "obstacle" it just means you are getting that much closer to the "yes"..

YES - Everyone one of you can do it!! And keep right here at this sight supporting one another.. Remember also when you teach something you automatically get better at it..

Best to you all..

Dean

Wow for some reason I thought you had to go down to the county office for this one as well. Maybe I was getting this confused with the procedures for probates. So I live in San Diego county. I'll look to see if I can find the site myself. If I don't find it, I'll yell for help as well.

I don't know if I'm in a non-disclosure state or not. I, too, was having difficulty obtaining the needed info on the treasurer's website. I'd input the property address and all it seemed to give me was just the name of the person who bought it but no mailing address. Later I discovered a "Select" link that was "hidden" (it didn't have a line underneath to show there was a clickable link there) right next to the information once it was brought up. When I clicked on it, it took me to the page that had all the info I needed to contact the buyer. Check again and make sure you're not overlooking something first.

If this still doesn't work, the only thing you can really do is either search the white pages or use a paid search site (the names escape me but someone listed two of them on this thread).

OMG you guys! The man HIMSELF stopped in to say hello! We MUST be up to something amazing! (Post# 566)

Not sure where you live in SD county but here in SD you do have to go to the county recorder office to get the address of the owner. If you have the name you can search by name, or search by Parcel Number (APN). I spent two days there this week and found tons of information ... from when they purchased their last property to how many they have to whether taxes are paid up.

We can get the tax info online here with the address or APN number but not the owner name or mailing address.

Hope that helps!
In san diego...

hello. Im new here and had a question I think maybe alittle on the novice side but Ill ask anyway. How come MLS data can only be accessed by RE agents. Isnt there a way to get this ourselves? It seems like crucial information that would be good to have access to.

thanks to anyone willing to answer

Howdy! Welcome to the thread! You'll have a lot of fun here.

The MLS is a search data base that realtors have access to for searching anything with real estate. When a house goes on the market, the real estate agent puts it in the MLS, the property can be viewed by anybody that has access to the MLS, which generally are Real Estate agents. The agents take this information and send it to their clients or buyers.

websites like Realtor.com Trulia.com and Zillow.com also get live information from the MLS and display it on their websites so we can search the homes for sale too. The information and search functions on these websites is limited, thus having us have to call a Realtor to get more information on a particular house.

MICHELLE!!!

Congrats! You are probably one of the very few thread creators that have gotten the man himself, Dean, to comment on a thread! You rock, and thanks for starting this thread!!

Think about how much information is in this thing.....truly worth its weight in gold. Yet, it is created by regular people like us. No doubt that we can do this!

Keep up the great work!!

So I made my bandit signs and posted my first one in my front yard. I live in a neighborhood near a university. It's a very mixed population of original owners and rentals. Anyway, I finished up my signs in the garage then was heading out to post them. THATS WHEN I DISCOVERED... someone had actually stolen the sign from my front yard!! Talk about "geez"....anyway it was funny and it was disturbing at the same time. Did my neighbors take it down or what. Then I learned from a rehaber across the street that there are 4 others in the immediate area doing the same thing I am - bandid signs. He thought one of them probably took it down. I was still "Wow! Really? There is enough biz for all of us!" It did spook me a little bit. But I can overthink everything. The sign was up probably three hours. Nonetheless, I headed out to place my signs and couldn't help but keep giggling from time to time... from my own yard, my first bandit sign, taken... guess I must be on to something! Anyway, all I know is around here bandid signs have been used for several years, very competitive and the city has gotten strict but yes, still sales going on for all of us. ....just get back up and get out there... and yes, I put another sign out today but took it down before dark and will do this for awhile. It is legal on my own property! I'm in a big transitional neighborhood and oh yes, to chine into some of the conversation on this thread... I used the - I buy houses, any condition, and my phone number on each sign out there. It's my personal cell for now. I'll talk to anybody!

Hey Jill,

You'll probably be my new best friend. I was looking for a fellow san diegan to talk too.

I've actually been through this process before. I had to do it to look up some info in my place I was renting at. Do you need to have the name of the owner. I would imagine not since that's what you're looking for.

Also have you been to a REI meeting yet? I'd like to attend one, but I'm not sure where any are held.

Are you doing wholesaling or flipping?

Okay thanks so much for the info.

Karemah

If you can't find the info you're looking for online, or they are charging a fee to access it online... you may want to go old school and visit your county court house to get the information.

When you do, Be productive while you're there. don't only go get your info, but also network with the staff that works there. Make a new friend and leave a lasting impression.

If someone in particular help me out i would go as far as send them a thank you card or gift. How many people do you think actually show them some appreciation for the service they provide to you.

They will remember you...

Keep the channel of communications open with them. I would go as far as getting an email address if i can.

why do you want to keep the channels of communications open and have them remember you? I don't know, maybe, just maybe, one day you may just want to pick up the phone and call them and ask them to look up some information for you. They may even allow you to send them an email and they email you back with that info.

We must become people persons. We must eliminate our fear of talking and communication with people.. this is a huge part of the key to success in this business.

Good Luck,

De'Von

Hello everyone! My name is Les Long from Greencastle, PA, (originally from central Indiana). I just purchased RBB last Saturday night at 11:30pm (cutting it close). I have been sick from complications from diabetes, but it won't slow me down! I have read the post and I am really excited to get going on this. I am on Day 2 and loving it. I have watched awaterloo's youtube videos. Thanks Alex! I hope everyone has great success as an REI; you deserve it!

ps. My wife wants me to return everything and get a refund!
It will never happen! I am in all the way!

Hello, I haven't received my material, but I am hyped from reading your comments. Can't wait to get started.

I just started the 30 day blueprint & am excited to get started. Alex, I'm from NW suburb of Chicago & I watched all your you-tube videos. They were great! I'm in on meeting up with you & others in our area. Question: I've looked around for REIA clubs in our area & do they all charge a membership fee? I think it would be a great place to network with other investors & make some contacts. Thanks again to all that have contributed to this thread. I'm learning so much & I'm super excited to finally get things moving in the right direction.

Good morning and welcome!! Very excited and glad you have started the 30 days system with us! I think you'll have a lot of fun and find it very addicting.

Some of the real estate investment clubs in the area of Chicago do charge a fee. It's pretty in expensive though, about $99/year. It's not too bad. I find them to be pretty helpful. I haven't been to a meeting yet because my work schedule hasn't coincided with a meeting Check them out....these are in the area.

I'm sure everybody here would like to thank you for all that you have done. Without you (and Matt too!) there would have been no 30Days QCF or even this website for that matter.
Your honesty, sincerity, drive and up-to-date information is what keeps people coming back for more. There's a lot of us that need more than just a little push to get involved in real estate and to have you hitting us from all sides in your weekly blogs motivates us more than you'll ever know.
Thanks for taking the time to read & comment on this thread, it means a lot to us.

Keep up the great work!

It's awesome that you stopped by our thread! It just goes to show that everyone on here is willing to help each other and exemplifies the DG family! All of you have contributed so much and have been so selfless, that's what it's all about!

Awaterloo, thanks for the youtube videos, they're great! Thanks to those of you who indexed the most important and helpful posts with links to specific topics. I think this is the best thread that I've seen on here yet. Not to denigrate all the other wonderful threads/posts on here, of course!!

Win-Fall!!!

For those of you who are having trouble getting the cash buyer's address online through the County Assessor's site, you may want to google "Your county tax records" I found a 3rd party source that has very detailed info for free. If I wanted to subscribe for $800.00+ a year, I could have gotten much more info. However, by using the free service I could get the new property owner's name and address.

Alex,
Thank you for your generosity. I'm still amazed at how helpful you, Michelle, and so many others are here in DGland. I'm in South Texas, just north of Houston. Two counties are involved. Montgomery and Harris. Any suggestions you have are most appreciated. Thank you.

You can search by address. Just plug in an address of a home from a list of properties your Agent sent you. From there you it should pull up the ownership information and you can just copy the address and owner name. You are going to use the name and address of the owner to mail them a letter telling them you can help them find good deals. If the owner's address is the address of the property, don't worry you should still send them a letter. Should be simple enough.

Don't worry you've almost got it! If you need further help, just ask and we'll help you dial it in!
