When we contract a good deal, we deploy three marketing strategies immediately to sell the property quickly:

Number 1: Network, network, network, just like @Wendell De Guzman stated. Call your best buyers (if you have any yet), stand up at the REIA meetings and tell everyone you have a deal, and let the local wholesalers in the area know you are willing to pay them to bring you a buyer (ask them NOT to mark up the property, it looks bad when the same deal gets sent out at multiple price points).

Number 2: The day you contract a good deal, find all similar properties sold in the area within the past 6 months which sold for cash, as well as all properties listed for rent in the area. Send a hand written letter to the owner of each property labeling you as a motivated seller, include the property address, and urge them to call you immediately to make you an offer.

Number 3: Put no less than 27 bandit signs out for the property. Put three in the yard of the property for sale (yes three), put four signs on the corners of the four closest major intersections surrounding the property, put four at each end of the street the property is located on, this should add up to 27 signs. If you can put out more, do! Repeat weekly!

If you have a deal, these three steps should make your phone ring!

I am looking for an account that is not only familiar with real estate investing but is also an investor. I live in Largo, Florida which is in Pinellas County, but I would be willing to use an accountant anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. Can anyone recommend someone?

I recommend David Rodruguez, he is located in Clearwater and has been doing our personal and business taxes for the past few years. We have been very happy with his services.

His website is: https://quality-cpa-accounting.com/

I hope you are as happy with him as we have been.
