As I recall...Constant Contact sits on your server so you host it. Not good if someone decides to report any of your emails as spam.
In that case, you can get shut down in a hurry. That's a big con.
Get Response, aweber, AR Plus, etc are all sent from their respective servers. Double opt in is a good thing depending on your leads and your list as well as how you're communicating with your list.
Make sense?
So if I want to send an email to all my buyers with my gmail account...there's a good chance I'd get "black listed"? I can make my own HTML emails in photoshop so if I could send them out by myself versus' using a program like constant contact or get repsonse..I'd prefer to do that. BUT if I'm going to "get shut down" I'd just go with a service. Any advise?

No buyers agent is going to wade through the issues to get permission from their broker do a deal like this. They will just show their buyer any number of other much simpler deals and pocket their commission.
I'm going to sell to retail buyers at a discount...therefore wholsaling to a retail buyer. The difference between these houses and a "simpler deal" is equity; equity with no repairs. I think a buyer would show much more praise to their realtor if he brought them a home they liked with 15k in equity versuses one with maybe just a couple thousand.

I have a couple of houses under option that I'm trying to "wholesale" to retail buyers. There is enough of a spread that I will still make a good profit after paying a buyer's agent.
I want to know: is it legal to use a buyer's agent to try and sell someone else's house which I have an option on (equitable interest). I assume I most likely couldn't LIST the house for sale, but an agent bringing me a buyer? maybe..
Thanks in advance.

That's the only thing I myself have been weary of. That's why I was trying to find anyone who's personally used it and been successful.

Facts are facts.. and this is most certainly NOT one. Donald Trump is a Wharton School Of Finance Graduate who had a Quarter Mil net worth from flipping condos before finishing college, Who's first solo commercial real estate deals (after college) netted tens of of millions with practically nothing out of pocket.. John Alexander is not Trump's "real estate advisor", as it is more likely to be the other way around. sorry to say... odds are that Trump was paid to even associate with him.
Donald Trump has bought interest in a few of John Alexander's companies and they have done business together for some time now. Point is, if someone like Donald Trump has put MONEY and/or interest in this guy he's not too shabby...and again, your mentioning of this being the same as a typical "put a house under contract deal" is completely and utterly wrong...read up on his program, may even help you close a deal or two.

Dustin..I don't think there are too many note buyers out there that will take only a 10-15% discount on the note; most are taking way more than that..some even close to 50%. After reading the specifics it seems as if they can help those who couldn't otherwise get financed get approved for a home and lose only a SMALL discount on the sales price.
So in short, home owner's can get their homes sold quickly by allowing those with troubled credit to qualify and they can get almost full price minus the discount.
David...John Alexander has been around for a while it seems and is Donald Trump's real estate advisor; he's been around since the early 80's and has had much success. Just like with anything that's popular, there are both good reviews and not so good reviews; however, the bad ones seem to talk more about customer service rather than the system itself. I have yet to put this system to use or spend the $697 to buy for that matter..I just know people have built their "teams" and have enjoyed success from it.
I still would love to hear from anyone who has used the inverse purchase or the home seller assist program. Do a google search on "temporary seller financing". I'm sure you will find a lot of good stuff about it...most of which is legit.

It seems all the craze today is the seller financing program, which has a note buying company that buys the note created at closing.
Everyone seems to be promoting it. I don't want to get in trouble for advertising on here, but I think the website is weprovidethecash. There do seem to be mixed reviews about John Alexander, but unless others are not telling the truth, the owner financing program seems to be working. The "inverse purchase" is just one program offered by him I believe. Not sure about the getting rich in 14 days, but I do believe the program has a little truth behind it.
