Property Page Complete
I’m checking in. It’s day 3, into the 30-day “get a buyer” time window. And I’m just now completing my property showcase page. I feel like, I’m behind already because I’m 3 days in and am just now at the point where I am. Anyway, I felt like blogging for a second because for some reason it de-stresses me. I have been working on that damn website since 11pm…it’s 7:50am as I type this. I’ll give a quick run-down of what I did:
- I installed another WordPress blog onto my Schwaps.com hosting space, this was fairly simple since my hosting provider (readyhosting) now has a one-click WordPress installation feature (it wasn’t always that way).
- I searched around for free wordpress Real Estate themes. Good free themes are usually hard to come by, however I found a good collection at ThemesJuncion.com
- I installed the “Real Estate Agency” theme
- I added my two properties to the site. I then had a helluva time getting that site configured the way I wanted it. I also had spent hours generating the comps and CMA’s that I linked to each property page
So to the right, is the end-product.
I still have to add a few things that Lawrence Roberts suggested I do, to make the wholesale deal more turn-key for an end-buyer. So I’ll still need to get contractor estimates and I’ll need to offer tenant placement service, as well as a contractor management service. I just need to brainstorm the copy and get the contractors, etc. on stand-by.
But instead of holding things up, I’m going to move forward with the email-blast this morning. I also have a ton of phone calls to make to wholesalers and landlords. And to make matters worse, I have like 15 leads on new properties that I need to call back, I have some signs to make for tonight, and I’ve got to see if I can find a cheap lockbox somewhere for one of the properties…hmm as I typed that I think I’ll try to rent one from a Realtor. That’s a good idea. I ain’t paying $40 for a new one. Gotta go.
- Peace Out
