After 7 months of listening to the podcast (started at episode 1 and now I’m up to episode 221), reading many of the recommended books, and watching YouTube videos, we know the next step of our education is to get into a deal and start working through real-life scenarios.What We’ve Done So Far The first thing we did in the summer of 2019 was “practice” a direct mail campaign by sending out 100 post cards in our neighborhood advertising lawn cutting services.We got 1 phone call back (didn’t win the job…) but we still thought this was worth the money and time investment since we learned how to use the county GIS mapping tool and saw that the 1% expected response rate is very true!

I have been self educating over the last 18 months (books, meetups, videos, etc.).

Go ahead and watch some youtube videos on "car sales four square technique."

I make them go through my vetting process (email me your resume, send me a video/audio around the tasks I want done, have them go through a trial day, etc). 

If you are unfamiliar look at a youtube video.

I get my wife to start watching some of the bigger pockets YouTube videos and she is getting pumped.

Video the entire house, inside and outside before the repairs begin.

I took photos & videos and realized that it was time for them to go.

Also, if you are buying the laundromat along with the property, I have a couple of videos on my website/YouTube that can show you how to make that a very profitable purchase.

We take professional photos, virtual tours, walkthrough videos, listing descriptions, etc...all the good stuff to get well ranked on Zillow.
