Best way to find cash buyers anywhere in US!!

Thank you for your information.

Hey everyone, here's a tip that might help you build a solid starter list of buyers in your local market. It's working for me. Just go to the housing authorities in your local area and ask for a copy of their Section 108 Landlord List. Since housing authorities work off of public money, their list of landlords is public information anyways. In addition, they give out this list to people who are looking to get into a Section 108 rental property, so you'll have no problem getting these lists. Lists include the phone numbers of the landlords too. For those unfamiliar with Section 108 rentals, it's housing for low income families where the government pays the landlord for the bulk of the rents. The actual amount that the tenant pays is on a sliding scale based on their income and circumstances. These particular landlords are always on the lookout for more low-cost rental properties they can add to their portfolio. The landlords on this list typically own other rental properties as well that are not on the Section 108 program. When you call them, just tell them that you're a local real estate investor, and that you've just put a property under contract that you think might be ideal for their rental portfolio. There are typically more than one housing authority in your county, so you'll want to go to all of them. Some may be more aligned with apartments, while others will have more homes, duplexes, triplexes, etc. On one of these lists alone, there were 261 landlords listed with phone numbers, and the types of properties each landlord had available for Section 108 Housing. Like I said, housing authorities will provide you with a treasure trove of local landlords to add to your buyer lists!!!

Some people who say, "I'm for real . . ." aren't.

It's been my experience--and several studies show--that nearly half of the people who schedule meetings don't show up, and nearly half of the ones who do show up are tire-kickers--unless one does a few things to pre-qualify them.

With that in mind, my response would be to pre-qualify you on the spot. An auto-responder would redirect you to a website (a landing page). I'd have you listen to a series of pre-recorded messages that are meant to position and filter you (and they'd encourage any tire-kickers to opt out at each stage); I'd also collect different pieces of info (eg contact information, POF, answers to various qualification questions, etc) from you at each stage. If you were to make through my filtering process, then you'd land on a page that would collect a list of dates/times that would work best for you. And I'd get back with you on a date/time when a team member could meet you at the property--provided the information that you'd submit actually checks out. Plus, if you were to show up, you'd see a team member there with some other potential buyers who will join you on your walk-through.

My subtle point is that I initially assume that all potential leads are tire-kickers until they prove otherwise.

There's no such thing as a "one size fits all" marketing message. Short, concise messages will attract certain people, and will repel others. More detailed messages will also attract and repel others. We have to test multiple messages, and we need to track them.

thanks for info. I believe the more you contact the more chance you have of getting the right investor. Keep it simple and honest. I am learning that you want a relationship to continue, and not to rush investors into something that you are not ready for. Thanks Chiller

According to Mr, Murphy keeping it simple is always the best way.In some cases if you did state that you are new, but do know what type of deals you should offer,I think it builds a certain trust in dealing with that Investor.

Honesty is the best policy! Remember, EVERYONE, that finding buyers/investors is a sorting process. This is a numbers game, you will go through, talk to, come in contact with many investors before settling in the ones that you will want to work with. I always tell my clients that if you come across someone who is rude, condescending or just blows you off then consider yourself LUCKY!! Because those are not the kind of people that you want to work with anyway! If they are like that in the beginning can you imagine what headaches they could cause you if you were actually working a deal with them? True, honest, legit investors in this business are in general very kind and gracious people who want to help and share their knowledge and experience. If you tell them that you are new - most of the time you will find that they will want to help and even possibly mentor you. There are many many investors out there who will be happy to connect with you. The next time you meet someone who is or acts negative in ANY way.......NEXT! Move on! You don't need that kind of attitude around you when you are working so hard to build your business. Sort through them, weed the bad ones out and work with good POSITIVE people who will be an asset to your business!
