(They might even instantly come to like you!)

Oh, by the way, maybe a stupid question (and admittedly a bit off-topic from this thread), but how does give someone an instant cash offer from just a text?

Not many realtors in my day also flew and had the presentations I had.. but also in those days my commissions were 10 to 15% sometimes higher.. so when I banged off a 200 to 500k ranch it was a nice payday late 70s and 80s.. and NO banks and NO appraisals and very few inspections..

If you have the money to spend, things like PPC and Adwords can get some leads coming in almost instantly, but it's not cheap and it adds up quickly.

Once the prospect text in they instantly get a mms (Picture text) with a link to a phone friendly web-form to fill out.

LOL... can you say PAY DAY   :)  you guys get rent I get sellers proceeds.. you pay no tax I pay a ton..

Pictorials are used for branding not instant gratification so don't expect the call quantity to be the same as a text PC. 2) Change the call to NAME....

Now just to figure out how to use my mail merge to do this instantly to 1000 PA's!

Continue to work and work for one-time paydays at high tax rates?  

I credit listening to MQs and their coaching program and the many, many great people I have met on this journey for helping have the knowledge, the courage and the needed education and skills to do this first deal with very little of my own money.Contracted Price:  $73,750Sell Price:  $93,000Closing Costs:  2488.39Commisions:  2790.00Approx Net:  $13,971.61I listed the property myself so I saved some cost there and the property was occupied creating a problematic situation for showings so I feel like I could have sold it for more if it would have been vacant and the occupant would have been more cooperative.I double closed on this deal and orginally had transactional funding setup with @David Dinkel but the title company was able to fund the frontend transaction with funds from the backend transaction.It wasn't a homerun but it was a nice payday and the wisdom I gained and relationships i built going through this very difficult deal was well worth it.I kinda agree with @Tom Krol when I hear him say on his podcats is that this isn't really as much about real estate as it is about sales and marketing and working with people and building relationships.If you have any questions, feel free to sent me a friend request, message me, call, text or email.
