Introduction 4
My First Deal 16
What is Wholesaling 17
Real Estate? 17
The Formula 42
Being born and raised in a town of less than 1,000 people, I’ve
failed at dozens of businesses before I was introduced to
Wholesaling Real Estate. One of my first failed businesses was
trying to flip used cars for cash using my student loans from
college to fund the business (boy did I fail). I obtained a dealers
license in my state and actually started attending auto auctions.
Used cars being sold at these auctions would appear to be
brand new even if they were 10 years old but if you are not
mechanically inclined or have someone on your team that is you
will get your hat handed to you and yes I really got my hat
handed to me. So, I lost money and got out of the flipping cars
game.
A couple of days later I thought about ebay and did a search for
Ron’s product and there were a couple of active auctions for his
course package. I bidded on an auction - lost - but the guy
running the auction reached out to me via email and asked if I
Call #1
Now the owner asked me did I know anyone who could help
him with refinancing the house he lived in which ironically I
worked with a guy who actually worked as a part-time
mortgage broker…. Again, I created what I thought would be a
WIN - WIN for all parties involved.
Call #2
After the first deal went south, in years past I would have
moved on from real estate but fortunately I received another
call (deal #2) on the same day. This call was from two sisters
who wanted to sell a house they inherited from their mother
and as many of us can relate to there being an emotional
attachment to the property and they didn’t want to sell mom’s
house. Well after going through renting to a few family
members who were not paying on time or not paying at all
along with continuous expense of repairs they became
motivated sellers aka tired landlords which will probably be
your #1 source for leads.
I pulled up in this car which is a 1985 Convertible Toyota Celica (man, I loved this car).
Here’s an example...
Both Work...
Closing B is with you as the seller and the investor as the buyer.
Most don’t care because everyone’s getting what they agreed upon
and they know you’re not doing this for free.
Just my 2 cents!
Who to Target:
● Vacant Property Owners
● Probate
● Divorce
● Landlords
● Out of Town Owners
● Delinquent Taxes
When I First Saw This Postcard Below I Was Amazed and Yes It
Will Produce Leads, Leads, Leads:
● Bird Dogs - Hire individuals to find deals for you i.e. Vacant
Houses, For Sale By Owner, etc
Paying all cash and closing quickly, what’s the least amount you
will accept?
● Wait on a response
The goal is to get sellers to give you their least amount and from
there you can determine if it’s a deal or not. In many cases,
sellers will not give you a price and will force you into making an
offer. If this is the situation then my rule of thumb is to offer a
price you are totally embarrassed about.
More than likely they won’t accept your offer (sometimes they
will) but your goal is to initiate their bottom line price. If they
reject your offer then your follow up question should be: WELL,
HOW CLOSE CAN YOU COME TO THAT AMOUNT?
If the numbers work for you then proceed on and if they don’t
work for you simply thank them for their time and let them
know if anything changes to please let you know. Be prepared
to anger some sellers to point that they hang up on you or even
curse you out but they have made it easy for you and them by
not wasting anymore time on this property.
● When Buying: Always offer less than what you are willing
to pay
Formula Example:
Now that you have your property under contract and assuming
you have no buyers then let’s identify some ways to find and
build a buyers list.
● Bird Dogs - As you can use them for sellers they can also
be used for buyers
● Bandit Signs - As you can use bandit signs to find deals you
can also use them to find buyers for your deals. A simple
handwritten sign saying HOUSE FOR SELL - $XX,XXX
CASH - PHONE NUMBER
● Who Will Close Your Deal - This will vary from deal to
deal depending on what the cash buyer wants to do. Some
will simply say I don’t care and will allow you to use your
preferred title company and or closing attorney but I
would suggest that you assume you won’t dictate this step
in the deal process. This is why I advise students and
non-students not to worry about this when starting out
because there’s a good chance you won’t have any control
of who closes the deal. The one with all the gold makes the
decisions. (aka cash buyers)
Good Luck
ARV: After Repair Value or simply put, what will the house
appraise for in excellent condition.
