@Monique Williamson Thank you. I plan on setting those alerts this week :).

@Johnny Kang wow. Thank you for sharing your process with me. This is really good stuff. It definitely makes me think how I may want to start setting up a system. I've considered cold calling sometimes it's finding the time when I get off work in the evening. I like the idea of getting a VA once a system is set with detailed instructions. This definitely has me thinking with the end in mind as far as scaling the business. I will definitely keep that question in mind. Thank you so much Johnny Kang!

@Brie Schmidt Will do!! Thank you  :)

@Josh Sohar Thank you for sharing. I like the idea of staying active in BP. What books are you reading? The area I'm focusing on right now is Hampton VA then we will move on to other areas near. Since I'm out of state my driving around will consist of craigslist and the MLS lol :)

@Alex Huang ooooh these are good! Thank you for sharing your daily routine. I am definitely adding these :). Thank you!

Thank you @Johnny Kang. I really appreciate your post and agree. I am still planning on dedicating 2 hours on real estate and doing those other things outside of that. I'm investing out of state i have a friend who is an experienced investor in the area i will be in. He's just new to the marketing aspect of things. So we got different lists that we could get from public record and spent the last couple weeks on those. I agree with what your saying find ways to create and convert leads. I'm trying to figure out what other things I can do to create and convert. I plan on learning Facebook marketing and getting leads that way. And also going through MLS and Craigslist. My goal is to create a system and delegate. So I know so far we can do that with the lists we have. Do you have anything you do or did that works and you were able to outsource?

Thank you!

@Elizabeth Wilson ThanK you for sharing your goals!  I have heard of that Chris Voss book and going to add it to my book list. I love your daily goals.  Mines are meditating, praying, and reading 15 minutes a day. I'm adding working out soon. All which I agree with you will help my business and myself grow. I will definitely report back on the progress and success. thank you :)

@Brie Schmidt You are such an inspiration. I can't wait to listen to your podcast.

Hello,

I am doing real estate part-time. I am dedicating 2 hours a day for my business. My goal right now is to do flips then rental properties down the line. My partners and I have gathered some leads for direct mail. So I'm finished with vetting the lists and we should be mailing out next week. 

Now I'm trying to figure out what are some things I can do everyday consistently to keep the momentum and really start seeing the fruits of my labor.

I plan on learning facebook marketing soon. And one of my goals is to make an offer or analyze 2 houses a day (i'm starting low). And I'll probably start reading some real estate books (willing to take any recommendations, right now I'm finishing up David's Green long distance investing).

But I am interested in hearing what everyone else does or has done that has contributed to their success in real estate.

Thank you in advance! :)

@Lynn M. I'm curious to hear about the one you kept. What was on it that you like about it? 

@Yeng Hawj I am partnering with a friend and someone who is an experienced investor and we plan on starting direct mail marketing in a week or two. We aim for sellers who may have a motivation to sell (i.e. highly distressed property that they probably don't have the money to fix). I've done direct mail before and I've had people call me because they were interested in what my offer would be. I asked them a couple questions pertaining to their property. If their property is in good shape and would likely sell on MLS especially in this market. I tell them straight up I won't be able to offer them what they can get for their property. Some people on this post seem kind of jaded by these type of mailings. But marketing is key in any business especially real estate. Unlike what some people are saying please don't try to 'expose' someone because someone told you that it is a wholesaler that is trying to double close. Not everyone who is a wholesaler is a scammer. Direct Mail is a key part of a lot of legitimate investors. Just throw it away with the rest of the junk mail that comes through :).
