Getting the deal

I've been advertising and getting calls over and over going out and looking at the houses. My formulas were on. My values were on but I kept losing deals to other investors.

 Well, I got tired of that pretty quickly so I decided to change my approach. Here's how I handle all leads that come my way:

1. Get all house info and do my research.

2.Price out the house and discuss my findings with the seller.

3. Tell them my price and guage their response.

4. If we're in the same range - I set an appointment to see the house.

5. Make an offer only when I know I'm in the running.

This has gotten me more deals and saved me time on driving all over the place looking at houses I know I won't get because the seller is not in the same range as me.

  1. Not wasting time on no possible deal situations allows you to spend your time on profitable and doable deals.
