@Elliot Lamson I emailed you

Hey BP!
I'm here to share with you a small tip I've learned recently about how to connect with the people you want to on any social media platform and gain traffic to your website which = MORE LEADS/DEALS

Rather than posting like a broken record that "I buy houses" or "I pay referral fees if you know anyone who will sell me their house" or anything similar, we need to be adding value and entertainment to our readers. Think about the best superbowl commercials you know. Did someone stand in front of the camera and tell you to buy their product? or did they make something funny for you to laugh at and then had their logo at the end for 1 second of the 30 second commercial.

In the same way we should be the experts on ANYTHING HOME RELATED, not just how to sell your house. They should have been to your page so many times for other things not related to selling that you are always fresh in their mind when think about selling. This is called the Jab Jab Jab Right hook method that Gary Vaynerchuck talks about in his book.  Give value, Give value, Give value, then ask for the sale, or even give value X10 and then ask for the sale.

@Jerome Depner and @Marcello Di Gerlando 

I think I will see you there.

Hey @Matt Campbell

Great job finding a duplex. I wish you success with it. I have had a lot of experience flipping and renting in the springs so message me if you're stuck with anything, I have a team of contractors you can use and possibly some investors interested in it. Let me know.

@Sonja Gordon

Thanks for posting! I am currently investing in Denver and Colorado springs. I bought 13 houses last year in Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver. and a few more this year. I'm sure we can help each other. And next time you're in Colorado Springs to visit your sister we should meet up, that is where I live. Message me so we can connect.

@Bill S. We should meet up as well and see how we can help each other or just have a beer and talk real estate haha.

Hey @Joseph Conrey

Welcome! I am active duty Air Force and assigned to Colorado Springs. We can definitely help each other out. I would be happy to have a go getter helping me analyze properties and learning from me at the same time.
I bought 13 properties last year and 4 so far this year and have  4 more under contract. My goal is to do 40 deals this year (whether flips lease options or rentals) . So if you would like to be a part of that vision with me and learn as well I'd be happy to include you (and anyone else who would like to invest or learn).

And when you're out of the Navy you will already have extensive knowledge of Colorado investing so you can hit the ground running here. Go ahead and send me a message for my contact info. Look forward to talking with you.

I have a great contractor i use for all of my flips. Lowest prices around and the most integrity I've seen in a contractor. His name is Mark schoning. Message me for info 

Yes I have had success. Its all about finding a motivated enough seller. As long as you explain it the right way and how they are still protected and you are solving their needs, they should be okay with the sandwich. I have even done a seller financing from the seller and lease option to a lease option tenant. And lastly ive done this model a few times, lease option from seller for 4 months, renovate, sell and then execute your option to buy and keep the difference. contact me if you'd like to know more.

Hey Ed

I am an all cash investor here in the springs. I have bought multiple houses from wholesalers in the past. I'm happy you've made the choice to begin investing. Its the best decision you could ever make for your financial freedom.
Feel free to connect with me and we can get coffee sometime and talk about investing in Colorado. 

Hey Pete. You came to the right place. Some good information has been posted above. I bought 12 houses last year in colorado springs and pueblo. I'm moving into denver with 2 purchased this year and a few more under contract now. Id be more than happy to discuss some of my strategies for finding these denver properties.  Give me a call today or sometime this week! I can show you some of my current properties when you're in town. 

Look forward to talking to you.
