How I Find & Buy Properties “Off Market” – It’s Made Me Rich
I’m sure others have posted on this but I couldn’t find anything.
Why would someone sell their property to me instead of using the MLS. And why do I make so much money helping them out? I've bought every kind and it usually just takes one item below.
- They don’t want to do repairs
- They’re in a hurry
- They don’t want to do agent “opens”
- They don’t want random people going through their drawers and medicine cabinet
- They don't want to pay an agent $25,000 to list a $400,000 house on the MLS
- They are not in a hurry, but will take a good offer if they don’t have to hassle with people
- They have a lot of pets and the place stinks
- They’re in probate and don’t have a clue what to do
- They are in foreclosure and don’t have a clue what to do
- The house used to be a rental but they got tired of being a landlord and don’t want to deal with it
- They were moved into a retirement facility and the children don’t want to fix up the house to sell it
- It’s an inheritance with a mortgage and the heirs prefer to have money instead of making the mortgage payment.
- The property has a history of drugs or other nasty stuff
- They got a job transfer and need to sell fast
- They got married and are moving into the new spouse’s house
- It’s a vacation home they want out of quickly
