Questions for Tom: 9.14.17: Live Q&A Session


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

00:01:10 I screened this lead pretty well. I always ask “what amount of money would make you move?”

00:02:59 Got it under contract for $20k and with repairs will be all in at $35k

00:03:54 Since it’s in a college town how difficult would it be to get two college kids to rent it for $500 each a month?

00:04:12 What are your plans for this property?

00:06:38 Could you rent the property in its current condition?

00:07:05 How many leads do you think you’ve gotten so far?

00:07:27 What does your direct mail campaign look like right now?

00:08:45 How many face to faces have you gotten so far with our leads?

00:09:48 How many weeks has it been so far?

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.

00:13:16 Do you feel like you’re able to keep up with a lot of the leads?

00:14:19 How many deals do you think you need to do to give up your full-time job?

Questions for Tom: 8.17.17: Live Q&A Session



00:08:38 I’m new to this what does it cost to be in your mentorship program?

00:09:54 I’m new to real estate if I use the MOJO Dialer to call a list and I get a lead but it’s lead really for an agent can I send that lead to an agent I know and expect to get a referral fee?

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?

00:29:50 Do you give leads a list price and an investor price?

00:31:30 Selling to an investor pros and cons / Selling with an agent pros and cons

00:36:00 I created a list of 21,000 properties, what is the most economical way you would suggest I go about getting the phone numbers associated with the owners.

00:37:14 How do you optimize your agents getting the listing when the cash offer doesn’t work? As in do they go to appointments with listing presentations?

00:41:14 If you’re working with a person in notice of default is it necessary to talk about listing the property simply because they are on a time crunch and about to lose their home?

00:44:35 How many times do your callers call a number they can’t reach?

00:45:30 When comping out a property that has a significantly larger lot than the comps that come up do I ignore the lot size or is there a way to work that in?

00:46:46 What pre-qual questions do you ask before going on an appointment?

Questions For Tom: 8.2.17: Live Q&A Session

 
00:00:59 What training do you guys need? What do you feel like there is a gap on having gone through all of the on boarding and training videos when you joined? 

00:01:52 Can I get a link or copy of the mind maps/meisters you use in the videos? 

00:02:42 Do I have much of a shot at a deal with someone who has been looking at Zillow and comparing their property to what their neighbor sold their property for, they seem to be wanting retail price? 

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

00:12:23 Follow up to the above, what if the person whose buying it wants an inspection upfront. Won’t that confuse the sellers? 

00:14:16 Within the internet lead action plan are the various steps automated or do I need to manually initiate each step? 

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. Which means I will be the buyer agent representing myself buying from a FSBO in that case would the seller need to do the normal stuff like disclosures and all the other paperwork? What paperwork should the seller expect to do when selling to us? 

00:19:45 Within a video I saw that you utilize Real Flow is it worth getting? 

00:21:43 We are getting a list of seniors to call on, what is a good set of criteria? Age, equity, etc.? 

00:23:42 How many people do you need in MOJO to make cold calls? 

00:25:36 Is it smart to hire someone to do inside sales to increase the calls? 

00:27:35 Do you have a script to help the people we hire? 

00:29:40 When calculating an offer. Would 70% ARV – renovation costs include hard money loan expense of say 8% on borrowed money or would that need to be added to the above equation? 

00:31:46 The only formula you need to use to calculate an offer… 

00:34:58 Are some of the funds we give for the program being used for cold calling? How can we avoid doubling the efforts if we want more cold calling done?

Questions For Tom: 7.13.17: Live Q&A Session

 

00:02:20 Do you explain to a seller how you come up with an investor offer price?

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?

00:21:54 I spoke to a seller yesterday; I have a deal from my sphere. ARV is 670k and the seller is willing to take 450k is this a deal?  How do I approach the seller being that they are in my sphere?

00:34:10  Is there a 100% hard money lender in Texas?  If so, how do I find them?

00:38:45 When promoting a wholesale deal,  how do you prevent other investors going behind your back and talking directly to the owner.

00:41:17 Does the 70% rule get modified if the ARV gets over a certain amount?  Is it ever ok to pay ofr 70% of ARV?

00:44:10 What would you suggest using as a marketing tool to obtain more motivated seller leads? I’ve been researching and comparing ClickFunnels and OnceCarrot platforms but I’m not sure what would be better?

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 

00:03:01 An example of one of these scenarios regarding marketing directly to vacant properties and why I don’t think it will work… 

00:10:26 Difficult buyer leads… how to properly work them and reach the client…Internet buyer leads that are organized by Coldwell Banker International Internet team, I’ve closed many but it’s a lot of work to find good clients; 35% referral fee upon closing 

00:14:22 I have several single family rentals and I am setting up an LLC for holding. Any recommendations for a good insurance company? 

00:15:52 In regards to tracking the multiple flip projects and closings, do you use a specialized software or is it all an excel spreadsheet somewhere? 

00:17:48 What numbers do you use to determine if it is a good rental property? 

00:25:23 Where is the best place to find General Contractors? 

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. The owner does not have the property up for sale at this time, I thought about mailing an offer on the property. Does this sound like a feasible deal? 

00:31:48 How many leads do you get from organic searches to your site from Google?

Questions For Tom: 6.22.17: Live Q&A Session


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




00:02:35 When wholesaling, is It common to have to back out of the contract if you can’t find an investor to assign the contract to?

00:05:53 Manufactured home. Do you recommend buying manufactured homes?  Are they good leads?

00:10:49 We also have partnered with a silent investor. Do you have a silent partnership agreement that you use?

00:38:00 Just booked an appointment. Should I send an email to the seller with all of our contact info or am I better off just showing up for the appointment?

00:40:25 When I get a scheduled phone meeting booked for me by your team should I wait until the scheduled date/time to call them or am I better off trying to get out there as soon as possible?

00:43:20 When wholesaling, does the end buyer have to be a cash buyer?

00:47:08 I have a couple of leads for manufactured homes, do we go after these? What if the area is prime but the manufactured home is in really bad shape, what’s your take on this?

00:51:21 I’ve had some luck with leads in the beginning but seem to have hit a rough patch.  What else can I do to convert better?
