Hi Steph, I have heard that you should get a list of cash buyers first and then find out what kind of properties and locations they are interested in and then find motivated sellers meeting those criteria (then get homes under contract that conform to those preferences). Also what happens if you get a property under contract but you then can’t find a buyer for it? Do you add special clauses to your assignment of contract forms to handle this so you are not obligated to buy from the motivated seller yourself? If this happens does it aFfect your reputation as a wholesaler amongst sellers? I really enjoy reading your blog. Thanks, Alan

Hi Drew,

Welcome to the blog!

I’ll definitely keep you in mind if I get anything that fits your buyer’s criteria.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Steph…first things first…I am a big time fan of yours and I only discovered this blog last week!
Believe it or not you inspired me to get into this.
So far I’m taking baby steps and building my buyers list and stumbled upon a cash buyer that wants 3/2’s no pool upto 100k anywhere in hillsborough county and wants to buy 2 houses a month if I can find them. Pleeeeease Steph I need your help! Can we split these JV deals? PRETTY PLEASE? Lol if not its ok I understand.

Hi Scott,

They disappear within a few days, usually.

Just curious. All these signs that you put out. Do you eventally pick them up or do they all just magically disappear.

Hola Taylor!

Thanks for the book recommendation- I’ll have to check it out. Literally. Hehe.

You should finish off your mind movie so you have it all set and ready to go for the coming year.

Hope you are doing well,
Steph

P.S.
Happy Belated B-Day!

Mind movies are cool. I have a perpetual project going with windows movie maker myself. Stumbled onto the video online about 4 months ago and started collecting the pictures and music, just never took the time to finish.

Oh, I’ve got a book for you… “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. Amazing book about conquering resistance and moving from ametur to Pro. It’s aimed at the creative arts community (writers mostly) but it has become my most referred to and most referred book in my library. Read it, love it, live it.

Cheers,
Taylor

I use a service called MongoFax: https://www.mongoscan.com/V14/ECPForm.mongo
It’s pretty cool- you fill out a cover sheet with the email address of where you want your documents to go, and then it scans and emails everything for you.

I don’t pay anything for it- one of my Realtor friends lets me use their acct. I think the Realtors get it for free. Before that I was scanning and emailing everything, and before that I was faxing all of my offers.

I don’t recommend faxing your offers- most of the agents get annoyed when you do that. Just an FYI.
