I have a 3 family deal under contract.

The buyer, who is a seasoned investor, wants to purchase the property with Bank Financing.

Based on my understanding, in order for us to close, the bank will pay the seller $XXX,XXX and the seller will then need to cut us a check.

If this were a standard cash deal, the attorneys could cut us a check for the difference.

Has anyone else run into this before?

@Zane Gifford I decided to go wide on my direct mail marketing campaign instead and focus all my time and energy on this channel. In the future I plan on adding in cold calling.

I am thrilled and honored that Call Porter has recently awarded me a 2,000 Piece Mailer for being an active member in their Facebook Group! Ryan Dossey and his team at Call Porter & Ballpoint Marketing helped me get out my mail piece in record time. 

Through my coaching call with Ryan Dossey, I have learned the value of outsourcing my marketing in order to free my time up. Before this coaching call, I was printing, stuffing, stamping and licking 1,000 envelopes on my own. My marketing process was inconsistent and wasn't working for me - I was working for my marketing. Now, I am focused on the higher level tasks opposed to the mechanical tasks.

Additionally, Call Porter is going to help me by answering and pre-screening motivated sellers for me. As of right now, I work full time as a Construction Project Manager and it is difficult for me to pick up the phone at the drop of a hat. I have learned from Ryan that picking up the phone is crucial to closing Real Estate Deals. If an owner is willing to call - you need to be willing to answer within 7 seconds. Knowing that Call Porter is there to answer the calls for me is taking a load of stress off my shoulders. 

If you are an investor, be sure to check out Call Porter and their services! You will be thoroughly impressed!

Rule #1: Protect your cash and your investment. I work full time as a contractor managing $100K-$750K residential renovation projects. We ask our clients to give us $1000 retainer fee. If a contractor asks for 10% down and 33% on the start date - he clearly does not know how to manage his finances, manage the companies cash flow and manage paying his subs. My advice, call the next guy in the phone book.

Every morning I spend 5 minutes doing my goal setting. I write my goals down in my Moleskine and keep it on me at all times. It’s a great place to keep my thoughts organized and notes from the day.

And of course Congrats @Brandon Turner for becoming the new official host!

Any Wholesalers or Agents out there using Mojo Dialer to call prospective leads? I am looking to ramp up my marketing and I am considering using their services. Let me know what you think! How is their Reverse Phone Number look up? Are you finding success with it?

Thank you @Brad Fletcher! Did you go through the Wholesaling Inc program?

Howdy BP!

I have been building out my wholesaling campaign and have been looking for some professional coaching to take me to the next level.

I am looking to speak to a few people who have gone through the Wholesaling Inc. coaching program and hear about their experience. I had a great call with the company this afternoon and I am curious to hear more from a students perspective. Please private message me to get in touch!

Best,

Scott
