GETTING A STRONG BUYERS LIST

This might be a good question for Greg if he has the time. This is his territory and he is without a doubt the LEASE/OPTION KING. I would suggest you shoot him a PM and go from there. I you have a prop under contract, then I wouldn't waste anytime getting in touch with Greg....Just a thought for you....Jan

You might want to check the laws in your state. I just found out that lease options are illegal in the state of texas. Just do your homework first. Good hunting.

Mike,

What did your ghost ads say? How did you handle the calls... in person or recorded message with voicemail?

Thanks.

Brian Carter

I could use info on all of the above. I am new and stressed. It is hard to know what to do first. I enjoy reading all the posts. Always need input. Thank you

what greg does is finds tenant buyers with money on one side and homeowners with a problem making payments and uses down pymt money from tenant buyer to bring sellers loan current on the other side.if you only have a few months you'll need to move this to an ivestor buyer.if you could share your ghost ads on here that would be a help to people here also.feel free to visit my journal and share anytime.keep moving forward,rob

Thanks for replying jan,I would love to send greg a pm,but I dont even know his users name,do you?

thanks for the info,I will definetly check up on it.

Just want to say hi to all on this forum, it is good to talk to people with the same interest as me. Thanks for info. on this website.

Thanks, Mike. that is a huge help. i offered seller financing once before, but didn't have much success with it. will try again.

hi all;

my realtor says lease options are legal in Ca. but are harder to do right now
because there are so many buyers in our area anyway.

I'm doing the same here in Oregon and I spoke to Greg last night during his call. This man is full of info on rent to own. He told me that when negotiating with the home owner, ask what is the rock bottom price they would sell there home for. Then lock that number in on contract. Also match their mortgage payment (if they have one)with a tenant buyers payment capabilities and your off and running..If the home owner doesn't have a mortgage payment then negotiate the lowest payment they will except.

I post 5-8 ads twice a week on CL and I'm starting up some bandit signs
here soon. Then this should take off like a rocket..

I may have made a mistake in getting my tenant buyers into a credit repair program. Which is a little much for most to get involved with at first so don't do that. I thought it was a good idea but it has shied some away for the deal. Maybe just hand them a flier to that effect and leave it to them. Live and learn. Hope this helps.. helps me

Mike,

You may want to try and negotiate a longer L/O. All the terms in the contract are negotiable especially if you are setting them. Having the owner pay HOI and taxes for example. This will free up some monthly expenses for you to profit on.

Happy investing

Hi all I just finished reading all the materials and I am feeling pretty overwhelmed. I am not sure if Connecticut is a strong market for these strategies. I would really appreciate some input from anyone familiar with the Connecticut market. I tried to get a real estate agent to work with me as Dean suggested in his book, but she tried to convince me to become an agent as the best way to locate buyers and sellers. I am trying to get my foot in the door ASAP due to desperate personal circumstances and would appreciate any advice. Thank you

Look at college towns; consistent tenants and demand is strong and you may be able to get great deals from people who want to get out

What exactly are you calling "ghost ads" and how are they worded?

All of this information is fantastic. My buyers list is pretty lame at the moment. Thank you all for the tips. My list of sites keeps growing so fast that I haven't gotten a chance to visit them all. I need to clone myself so I can send the other me to work and I can stay on the computer and accomplish some things. Thanks again everybody....Johnnym66

That is precisely how I feel! Gotta organize my day a little tighter until that glorious day when I can kiss the day job goodbye!
Thank you all for the helpful posts.

Where in CT are you? These strategies will work in any town as Dean points out in his books. It's just that some towns have a higher price ticket. For example, Fairfield County has many Million dollar areas like Greenwich, Westport and Fairfield, but has many lower income areas like Bridgeport, parts of Stratford and parts of Norwalk. It all depends on what you are looking to do. You don't have to find a rich or poor neighborhood either, just flexible and/or motivated sellers.

Looking for hard money in IL, chicago area, anyone know any personell hard money lenders?

Check out this website. http://www.moulahlist.com/ or this http://www.moulahlist.com/index.php

Have you used either one of them?

wow greenpearl.com is amazing!! it has all types of information of investors looking for properties as well as deals they have locked up on paper. Great references. Also those ghost ads are an amazing way to build your buyers list as well as craiglist ad run it as a regular dummy ad then when buyers call tell them it has already been purchased and if you have something else available what would they be exactly looking for? How much equity would they like the house to have, whats there price range etc

God Bless,
