I’ve been working soooooooooo hard.? My goodness.? I know I said that I wasn’t going to blog about specific deals until after they close. So I’ll just say that I have two deals in the wings.? So hopefully I’ll post with more detail about those soon and very soon.

The week’s almost over and I need to get this accountability post in.? It’ll be a quick one.
Let’s see.
I was supposed to get 12 MLS offers out, distribute 50 brochures, and post 5 flyers.? Well, I got 29 MLS (expired) offers out, I only got about 30 brochures out and I was able to post 2 flyers.? So does that balance out to meeting my goals?? Nah…it doesn’t.? I think the trick is to not try and do all of this in one mission.? I think that’s where I’m getting caught-up.? From now on, I’ll just do what I can each day and pace myself, instead of deferring these tasks for completion all in one day.? Again, I’ll keep these goals constant for next week.? I need to add to this list…so I’ll think about what else I should be doing weekly.
So I finally have my semi-automated system in place that will allow me to make 40+ offers per week.? Basically what I have is an Option-Contract and a Cover Sheet that are mailed out to the owners of properties that have been listed and since withdrawn from the MLS.? My Realtor was able to export an Excel file from the MLS that contains the expired property information that I desire.? This spreadsheet was then appended with county assessor information (last date sold, owner name, assessed value, and etcetera).? The Option-Contract and Cover Sheet have mail-merged values that include the property address, offer price, mailing address.? This mail-merge along with the custom Excel doc, makes me semi-automatic.? After all of the printing is said and done, I hand-address the envelopes.? I just sent out my first batch today.? Next week, it’s on and popping again.
More naysayers are lending their unsolicited opinions to me.? “Dat’s Ohkehy” (said in Scarface voice), this video sums-up how I feel about yall.

So I did some research and also consulted with my lawyer regarding the legality of compensating a seller post-short-sale.? On the internet I found an article on the Kick Ass Short Sales website.? After reading it, this made a lot of sense.? However, I still sought out the advice of my lawyer and this was his email response. Read more…
So it’s late Saturday night.? And I’m contemplating hitting the streets to “advertise”, because late at night is the best time to do it.? But the bad part is that it just snowed today and I know my white advertisements do so well against a white background when stuck in a frozen ground (I’m being kinda subliminal for a reason that I can’t explain here), I need to order yellow ones.? So anyway, I think I may do something else with my time tonight.
Okay, this whole consistent blogging thing isn’t working out.? Clearly, I was supposed to keep with the “Accountability Tuesday” theme as of last week.? It’s of course now Wednesday.? So anyway, new rules.? Once a week, I’ll just have an “Accountability Day”.? How about that.
