I analyze 100 deals to find 5 worth offering on, but when those 5 come up I am usually in contact scheduling an appointment the same day it is listed.  

Excuse me,  there were several appointment times offered but none were convenient for the buyers agent. 

I already have one appointment with a contractor referred to me by @Jay Leisten, I'll be scheduling more tomorrow.There is much optimism in the clean-up of the nicotine mess, as well.

I actually spoke to a friend this morning who does flood mitigation (and therefore had to cancel a lunch appointment).  

The type of work I typically do for investors can range from taking inbound lead calls and screening them based on criteria put forth by the investor, creating searchable databases with homeowner and property information from lists provided by the investor, setting up appointments with potential leads based on my clients schedule, and searching for potential deals in my clients target area.

Claire reached out and we have an appointment to talk tomorrow.  

We pulled into the parking lot 20 mins early and so we walked in 15 mins before the appointment.

“Everyday, I will look on at least five sources of house leads (which you will document in detail) looking for my ideal house (outlined above).Once I find a suitable house, I will make an appointment to view the property that day or the next.I will see no less than 10 houses per week on average.I will make no less than 1 offer per week on average.If I find I am unable to find suitable houses with these conditions, I will revisit my algorithm.”Then, simply follow the process.You can document your algorithm(s) for every step of the process (acquisition, financing, rehabbing (if that’s part of your plan), selling, etc).Listen, real estate won’t make you rich, unless you work at it.It won’t make you financially free, unless you work at it.If you work at it, it probably will.Put your head down.Design your process.Follow your process.You will be successful.Keep rockin’.
