Things must be slow for real estate agents
10 May 2024 | 28 replies
A lot of people don’t realize this, but in addition to real estate agents selling stuff, they are also being sold, every brokerage, every title company, even lenders, have courses on literally scripts, how to build out your social media, how to find fsbo listings etc, truth is none of these are effective, pretty much the only way to be a successful agent is either ton of ad spend or the hard work of meeting people in person through events meetups etc, but brokerages make money by head count, even title and lenders are happy if you close a few deals a year with them, so they sell this stuff to agents who than use those scripts on you, it’s a whole prymond scheme lol

I found some local people here through biggerpockets, then we also have a website and blog, I heard one lady gained several properties through social media marketing, and calling listings for rent by owner to see if they would be interested in switching to STR (hopefully I didn't just open a can of worms).

I would say that you are correct about Prescott having a shortage or rentals, but it also a snowbird and retiree neighborhood for Canadians, Californians, and east coasters.

Financing options for buyers without social security numbers
7 May 2024 | 1 reply
Seller financing and ITIN lending seems to be the norm in this area due to buyers in lacking the ability to use traditional financing (usually because they don’t have social numbers).My question does anyone have any guidance around structuring a seller financing deal for a home that was recently rehabbed using a hard money lender?
