Your clients are motivated sellers.You can NOT convert people who do not want to sell  (below market value) into people willing to sell below market value.The mistake people make (constantly) is their efforts are based on forcing non-motivated sellers to sell, by constant harassment.This is wrong.Instead of mass mailing blanket mailing,  and putting your energy in finding random people and forcing them to become motivated by putting a ton of effort and money into follow-up, you need to focus on targeting the RIGHT people.People who are actually looking for your service.Hopefully, it changes your perspective and you can improve your business.

To start, get pre-approved for a loan, search for multi-family homes, plan commute, consider property taxes, leverage healthcare income, and build a local network.Good luck!
