But after almost being killed when hit by a truck while standing in a parking lot which has left me with some physical hindrances, I've had time to think about my what I've always wanted to do but couldn't because I was too good at what I was already doing. The Calhoun RE market is complex, and slow from the naked eye. But I'm looking for someone to bluntly point out where I can improve to get my game on. As far as what can I do for you? The list of what I can't do is shorter than the list of what I can ;)
Hey John,
My back ground is contracting. You will find it a blessing not being able to get out there and rehab it yourself. Once I was able to let go of being on the job site, I was able to do more deals. You see, me being on job site was a very limiting factor. It was also quite stingy of me. It may have saved$2-4k on the flip, but because I was on job suite I was not finding the next deal for my guys to do. Me saving that little bit of labor, cost them, and me, money in deals not done.
As far as improving your game: The number one question to ask is how many seller have you talked to this week, this month, and this year? Bluntly, if you are not meeting with seller's regularly, you are not in the game.
If you are meeting with sellers and you are not creating deals, I would need to ask you more questions to find out what the problem may be. If that is the case, give me a call sometime.
