Last Weeks’ goals:

1. Submit a total of 20 offers on MLS properties FAIL
2. Submit an offer on at least one REO property FAIL
3. Make at least one offer on a FSBO FAIL

Okay, so I failed all of the tasks again.  I’m going to keep these goals again for next week, just as I did last week.  However, this week I should be able to focus a lot of time on getting this done.  I’ve got the week off from the 9-5, so I can dedicate a lot more time to these goals.

And also, I think I have the wholesale property sold, so then I can get that burden off of my back and focus on getting some more deals closed.  I met with a buyer today, that I met with before Christmas.  He wanted to take a second look and we are to meet up tomorrow to complete the paper work.  So we’ll see about this, hopefully it’s a done-deal.  But in the back of my mind, I’m prepared to keep looking for another buyer if this guy flakes out.

I meet tomorrow with a lender that my Realtor referred me to for a discussion regarding the 203K HUD rehab loan and also the loans available that don’t require seasoning like FHA.  I need to learn more about loans that don’t require seasoning for my short-sale efforts to sell to an end-buyer with financing.

Also, despite the fact that I haven’t submitted the REO offer that I had planned on.  I went through all of my REO Rockstar material again during the past week.  I think I’m going to stop-in and speak with one of the top REO agents in town and just make an impromptu introduction.  I think I have the REO game down, now it’s just time to put knowledge into action and close some deals.

Lastly, I am going to get a bit more aggressive regarding my cash-buyer search.  I’m going to perform two additional tasks to get more buyers.  One, I’m going to direct-mail all of the investor owned condo units at a new condominium complex that was built close to campus.  Many of these investors are located on the west-coast and east-coast, with the higher cost-of-living on either coast, I know I shouldn’t have a problem adding some cash buyers to my list.  As 100K in cash to someone in LA or NYC is a lot less than to someone who lives in Kentucky.  Two, I found that there is one landlord in town who is one of the largest, if not the largest.  I posted on Facebook and Twitter that I was looking for someone to assist me with a skip-trace.  I needed a skip-trace done, because this guy has like 20 different LLC’s and I didn’t want to mail to his LLC PO Boxes (as I have before with no result), I wanted his home address.  Steven Washington, an investor out of Philadelphia helped me out and hooked me up with the address/phone number information that I was looking for.  This investor purchases like 2-3 houses CASH monthly!  One of the very few in this small town that do so. I definitely NEED to make his acquaintance. I am thinking of doing something ‘extremely’ creative to provoke a response.  Something like a FedEx Next-Day envelope with an introduction letter and a high-value gift-card maybe?  I don’t know…I’m taking all ideas…let me hear them in the comments…

And also, I think I have the wholesale property sold, so then I can get that burden off of my back and focus on getting some more deals closed.  I met with a buyer today, that I met with before Christmas.  He wanted to take a second look and we are to meet up tomorrow to complete the paper work.  So we’ll see about this, hopefully it’s a done-deal.  But in the back of my mind, I’m prepared to keep looking for another buyer if this guy flakes out.

I meet tomorrow with a lender that my Realtor referred me to for a discussion regarding the 203K HUD rehab loan and also the loans available that don’t require seasoning like FHA.  I need to learn more about loans that don’t require seasoning for my short-sale efforts to sell to an end-buyer with financing.

Also, despite the fact that I haven’t submitted the REO offer that I had planned on.  I went through all of my REO Rockstar material again during the past week.  I think I’m going to stop-in and speak with one of the top REO agents in town and just make an impromptu introduction.  I think I have the REO game down, now it’s just time to put knowledge into action and close some deals.

Lastly, I am going to get a bit more aggressive regarding my cash-buyer search.  I’m going to perform two additional tasks to get more buyers.  One, I’m going to direct-mail all of the investor owned condo units at a new condominium complex that was built close to campus.  Many of these investors are located on the west-coast and east-coast, with the higher cost-of-living on either coast, I know I shouldn’t have a problem adding some cash buyers to my list.  As 100K in cash to someone in LA or NYC is a lot less than to someone who lives in Kentucky.  Two, I found that there is one landlord in town who is one of the largest, if not the largest.  I posted on Facebook and Twitter that I was looking for someone to assist me with a skip-trace.  I needed a skip-trace done, because this guy has like 20 different LLC’s and I didn’t want to mail to his LLC PO Boxes (as I have before with no result), I wanted his home address.  Steven Washington, an investor out of Philadelphia helped me out and hooked me up with the address/phone number information that I was looking for.  This investor purchases like 2-3 houses CASH monthly!  One of the very few in this small town that do so. I definitely NEED to make his acquaintance. I am thinking of doing something ‘extremely’ creative to provoke a response.  Something like a FedEx Next-Day envelope with an introduction letter and a high-value gift-card maybe?  I don’t know…I’m taking all ideas…let me hear them in the comments…

Last Weeks’ goals:

1. Submit a total of 20 offers on MLS properties FAIL
2. Submit an offer on at least one REO property FAIL
3. Make at least one offer on a FSBO FAIL

Okay, so I failed all of the tasks again.  I’m going to keep these goals again for next week, just as I did last week.  However, this week I should be able to focus a lot of time on getting this done.  I’ve got the week off from the 9-5, so I can dedicate a lot more time to these goals.

And also, I think I have the wholesale property sold, so then I can get that burden off of my back and focus on getting some more deals closed.  I met with a buyer today, that I met with before Christmas.  He wanted to take a second look and we are to meet up tomorrow to complete the paper work.  So we’ll see about this, hopefully it’s a done-deal.  But in the back of my mind, I’m prepared to keep looking for another buyer if this guy flakes out.
