Key to the Real Estate Investing Vault

Why do so many people struggle to get going in real estate investing?
Many creative real estate investors get burned out because investing
just eats up their time and energy. It drains them to be constantly
making cold calls, driving neighborhoods and knocking doors. They
cling to every little lead that comes along, whether it is a motivated
seller or not.
I imagine you are attracted to real estate investing to enjoy success.
You want to be in control of your time and your income. So what
is the secret?
*** A Continuous Stream
of Motivated Sellers Who Contact You ***
To make money in real
estate investing you have to close deals. To close deals you need
to find deals. Creative real estate investing deals come from finding
motivated sellers with a problem that you can solve.
There are two ways to
find motivated sellers, you can chase after them or you can get
them to come to you. Which do you prefer?
If you fill the pipeline
with a stream of motivated sellers who CALL YOU, then you will not
have a problem closing real estate investing deals on a regular
basis. Let me outline the benefits to having the motivated sellers
contact you.
1. The Motivated Seller
Will Have an Open Mind Making Your Job Easier
When you go to the store
and a salesperson approaches you, what is your response? Usually
you put up a wall and try to get rid of them, right? No one likes
a sales pitch. (Well, except for me because I am looking to learn
from it, but I am a geek like that.) But when you go looking for
something your mind is open. The motivated sellers you work with
are the same. If they come to you, they will be predisposed to do
business.
2. Negotiations on Your
Real Estate Investing Deals Will be Easier
When a motivated seller
comes to you first, you are in a stronger negotiating position.
Also, if you are producing
a regular stream of leads you can pick and choose your real estate
investing deals. You won’t desperately cling to each lead.
When you are in a position to say “no” and walk away
with confidence, you will have the upper hand in negotiations.
3. You Will Save Loads
of Time and Energy
Talking to a seller who
is not really motivated is draining! You have probably experienced
this a time or two or even a hundred. It is like pulling teeth to
get the information you need and it usually leads nowhere but to
discouragement.
When the sellers come
to you, they already have a certain degree of motivation. You automatically
weed out the time-wasters in your marketing.
To ultimately succeed
in creative real estate investing without burning out, you need
to get the motivated sellers to come to you on a consistent basis.
This is done using marketing campaigns that are response-driven.
When I realized
this, creative real estate investing became more enjoyable. My job
got tons easier. It was exciting to try different marketing campaigns
and to watch the motivated seller leads come in. This one little
change in your real estate investing mindset can make all the difference
in your success.
