U get the idea...
The more you do for the investor the more u can get $$.
It things they will have to do eventually anyway.
Some investors are stingy and greedy and don’t want to pay so gather your list
(of investors) ahead of time and isolate into groups or categories…
It’s important to send your properties to the right people first.
One last idea I got from Washington Real Estate Mogul (Joe Kaiser) was called
"Pre-Habbing".
Properties interior (call the antique dealer first"$$" the junk dealer that thinks he's and antique dealer"$$", then pay a hauler -Paid $150
cleaned and hauled all junk in 1 day.
Exterior: cut the lawn your self, remove garbage, junk car guys, scrap etc.
Window and doors boarded up if needed…
I even bought a power washer (siding/brick, block, concrete driveways and asphalt)
This whole thing ends up looking similar to a short sale package.
All this will garn u an extra $1000 -$3000 or so after costs....
Or u can find them, sign them and throw everything against the wall and see what sticks…and make a grand or less….
I believe in creating value and being of value..
Just my 2 pennies, what do I know…
