00:01:01 Tell me a little bit about your first deal?

00:10:44 If you were to flip the first property we discussed what do you think you’d make?
00:12:04 Something we do, which you can do once licensed, when thinking of fixing and flipping we’ll close on it and just put it on the property. And in a lot of cases we’re getting the same as if we did the actual renovation.

00:12:28 Working on a new lead that was on the market for 2 months and then taken off, and the lenders status was not able to sell at this time – notice of default. How should I handle this?
00:16:37 Have a property where the sellers want 80% of the ARV and the property needs zero repairs, what do I do with it? Not a licensed agent…
00:20:01 One lead that they don’t want to sell now, what do I do?
00:23:50 Lead made an appointment, house was built 9 years ago, 6,000 square feet, wants $920,000. Do I assume a sale or just a listing?

00:08:40 Can you explain the exact process of the wholesale process after you get the contract from the seller?

00:17:47 As an agent I was advised by our legal council to go through a company when purchasing for ourselves to get full protection with our E/O insurance.

00:06:30 A lot of seminar examples I see are homes within a $200k average price, what happens when $700k is the average price, does that change the calculations?
00:11:20 Any suggestions as to how we can lock down my first investment property? In this low inventory, sellers market, it’s proving to be extremely difficult. I do not want to buy tax liens. Our main objective for right now is to flip.
00:19:07 Do you have any automated way of texting more people as the number of leads grow?

00:47:50 I’m new to the real estate investing world. I definitely know that I want to wholesale but I’m wondering if I should get my license to be an agent? I just need help deciding if it would be a good thing to get in my situation.
00:49:25 I’m licensed and am thinking if my husband should get his real estate license is there any need for him too? What are the pros and cons?
00:50:43 I was talking to another investor in St. Louis and they found much of their success in fining homes by sending letters to family members of the deceased. If this is what my competitors are doing, no wonder it seems all of the houses are already taken BEFORE they go vacant. So maybe the vacant house search isn’t a good path for me… thoughts?
00:55:44 What lists do you dial to? How should I go about obtaining these lists or phone numbers?
01:03:15 What’s the best blog or video you recommend for the one with no marketing money?
Questions For Tom: 6.29.17: Live Q&A Session
00:01:25 If you are thinking of spending time or money in order to generate additional leads above and beyond the leads, we are generating for you please run it by me first… I can help decipher if the program is worth it and/or how to make it work even better for you

00:28:27 I am looking for my first deal, the property is a new home built in 2008 and was constructed 75% complete all the way up to sheetrock mudded and cabinets and trim installed. But has been vandalized and all copper ripped out of the walls, meaning the house will need to be rewired, sheetrocked and flooring completed.

00:03:48 Can you find 100% hard money in Orlando, Fl?
00:10:38 Is the API in our FUB settings unique to myself or is it generic to the whole enterprise account? I’m trying to integrate a dialer that allows me to save/send a lead to FUB once I talk to them and determine they are someone to follow up with.
00:11:52 In FUB, when you create an appointment it shows the owner/seller as an invitee. FUB doesn’t e-mail the owner/seller the apt info does it?
00:13:13 California…are you offering on CAR contracts or FirstTuesday contracts?
00:14:15 What happened with my trip to Nebraska…
00:15:34 Jeff Cohn out of Omaha, Nebraska – I went flew out there and visited with him on Monday and Tuesday and he walked me through all of the systems in his brokerage
00:15:56 Jeff is mainly a real estate broker who does a little bit of flipping (which is the opposite of what I do). The reason behind the trip was to gain is to see the best practices for somebody that has a very successful brokerage
00:16:20 The number one thing he does differently than me is that he had numbers for everything. Etc. how many calls it takes to get a deal… it takes 125 calls for every deal that he does (tracked over 5 years)
00:18:50 A question came in from Mike: I have a potential deal that would involved splitting the lot. The city indicated it doesn’t take a long time. What are some other things I can ask regarding the lot split?
00:23:30 Jeff uses team leaders within the company to help manage the newer people
00:26:45 Do you have any statistics on the percentage of leads being sent out to your group that are more of a retail sale vs investor property? It seems all of the leads are retail sales that I am receiving.
00:29:07 Is there a tutorial that goes through just the most common tasks we use for FUB?
00:31:26 Do you have any idea the percentage of people in our group that are real estate agents vs investors only?
00:34:20 Are others seeing the 70% formula moving more to 75% or 80%
Questions For Tom: 6.15.17: Live Q&A Session
00:00:30 Tom is adding a brief 20-30 minute live session every single day at 4pm, Monday through Friday in case you have questions on a daily basis starting Wednesday, June 21st.
00:03:15 In the 10 week agreement what does it mean every listing that is taken 100% your profit to keep?
00:04:07 Quite a few wholesalers that I know locally (in St. Louis) have success selling rental properties to out of state buyers, especially on the west coast (I suppose due to our lower housing cost). What is the best way to build an out of state buyers list for this purpose?
00:09:33 I have a property that has issues from a single family residence view but it’s on one and a half acres sits on a busy corner that could be great in a commercial sense. There is an established muffler/tire store across the street. Developing this would take time I can’t do it is my only viable option to try and wholesale if I get it under contract and advertise it as such?
00:11:57 In addition to following up with the leads I’m calling equity owners, what is the best way to start the call to grab their attention right away?
00:17:55 When working leads it is always a funneling process…
00:19:18 There are some beginning signs in my immediate market and some surrounding cities that the market is slowing and slightly retreating. Definitely more in the range above the median price wholesaling should still work with less risk even quick cosmetic fix and flips below the median price. Anything we should look out for that the market might be at a top. Will it be easier to find leads once we top? Do we have to be more careful?
00:24:05 Once I am a licensed agent what’s the best way to handle disclosures in direct mail, websites etc. What are some key phrases to use to stress that I am an investor but also can list if selling direct isn’t for them?
00:25:34 I’m not a real estate agent, I’m not confident I can even fill out a Purchase & Sales agreement in the event I’m even able to make that offer. Secondly, I was told that when I write a check to the seller I should actually have it down via an escrow company. I didn’t see anything like that when I was in the training videos, am I missing something or am I making this too complicated?
00:30:48 Follow up to the above question, In the event that I want to list the property should I find a local real estate agent?
00:31:48 How can you buy a property that would be great for a fix and flip when it is bank owned, but nobody seems to know anything about said property?
00:33:34 What do you say to a lead that says “Sure, I’ll sell my house for $2,000,000” when the house is worth about $500,000?
00:35:44 If you get a lead that has told our inside staff they are working with a real estate agent in the sale of their home. Do you still call the customer even though they have already advised us on what they are doing? Are these good leads?
00:38:15 Are there any circumstances where you ask for an inspection when submitting a contract? Do most investors just roll the dice and take a chance without inspections?
00:41:07 If a seller is non-responsive but the opportunity looks to be really good in that the mortgage is close to zero and the seller has owned the property for over 10 years, could I go and just knock on the door?
00:42:13 If a real estate broker says, If I find you a buyer how much will you give me? What do you say and how much would you give?
00:44:12 Tips/critiques when dealing with a lead that provided a bad number but responded via e-mail?
00:46:52 Follow Up Boss question… I am communication via e-mail with a couple of leads trying to get them on the phone or to book an appointment. Is it recommended to leave the automation plans in place until an appointment takes place?
00:48:13 When wholesaling a deal to an interested buyer wants property address for him to run comps and info on MLS do we give that info away before the contract is signed?
00:50:45 Talked to an agent yesterday who said they would give me some kickback if I let them list the property, what should I ask for?
00:51:23 I’m getting better with FUB but not an expert could we maybe have a webinar on using FUB better?
00:53:37 Made an offer of $500 seller counted at $515k. The house will retail at $565k to $570k; no repairs needed. The seller would like to lease the property back for a year from the new owners otherwise he won’t sell. Any advice on how to proceed?
Questions For Tom: 6.1.17: Live Q&A Session
