Quote from @Deja Clark:
Hello to all. My name is Deja, and I am new to real estate investing. I wouldn't even say I've gotten my feet wet, yet. I started driving for dollars in 2022 but stopped because I felt overwhelmed with the "what if they agree to sell". I have no clue how to structure an owner-financed deal. If anyone could point me in the right direction... whether it be books, videos, seminars, or mentors... I would greatly appreciate it.
Wishing the best of luck to anyone currently seeking financial freedom.
Hi Deja, the first step is finding out how much the seller wants for the property. At the end of the day, most owner finance deals are born when sellers are asking for an unrealistic number. After that, you would need to figure out how much properties are renting for in the area and calculate a monthly payment with a mortgage amortization calculator. The monthly payment will vary depending on the amortization period, your down payment and interest rate, so you have to make sure that you move the numbers around to make sure you'll be able to pay back every month.
Pace Morby's youtube channel is a great source to learn about creative deals, I would check him out for a deep dive in owner financing😊
I hope this was helpful!

Hello everyone, I am a new agent in the Tampa Bay FL area. However, I have been in the RE industry for 15 years on the preservation side of things. I know it takes money to make money in this field, but I don't want to just throw money away. I know Zillow works and I am going to purchase connections from them, but does anyone have any other advice for building up my database? I am also trying to find a good mentor in my area to help me get from point A to Z at a much faster pace than I would be able to by myself. Have any recommendations?
Hi Ashley, my team and I are always referring non qualified wholesale leads to realtors who have a better chance at closing them retail.
A wholesaling lead that doesn't want to sell at a discount is about 80% more likely to sell retail with a realtor in a shorter period of time. If that's something that you'd be interested in, send me a private message and we can discuss it further.😊

Hi Alejandra, I would suggest to come to my monthly meetup in Tampa bay. It's happening next week on Monday. I'm happy to give you my perspective and you'll also meet a lot of people starting out in the business, as well as very experienced investors. Networking and stepping out of your comfort zone is definitely the key to this business, so I think it's smart to attend these type of events.
You can find the direct link with all the info in my profile, hope to see you there!

Quote from @Ruth S.:
If I am planning to jv (joint venture) with someone can I ask to see their purchase and sale agreement with the seller first before signing a jv contract? They are asking that I help to find a buyer and also help with the EMD (earnest money down) as well and I just want to make sure everything is legit before I get into any business with someone. Is there anything else I should know about jv'ing? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Always! Always make sure to review the initial contract before signing any other document.
Quote from @David Ramirez:
If you don't have that much money to put into marketing, I would recommend getting a dialer like MOJO and buying a list out of Propstream or batch leads and cold call all the skip-traced numbers. Talking to people will help you in getting comfortable with rejections and objections, which will result in an improvement in your communication and sales skills, and that will translate into your first deal.
Agreed! Get comfortable with rejection, find a list and call the whole thing 2 or 3 times at least. You'll get some traction through that :)

Quote from @Daniel Horn:
Does anyone have any tips for training VA cold callers? Any recommendations on what they should say to forward along leads to you in order to make offers? I want to start using a VA to do cold calls for me so I can be passed along leads then make offers and offer solutions to the home owner that validate my offer. I want to know what should I tell my VA to do or say to get those leads flowing in? Should I keep it short and do most of the talking on my own or have them gather some info about the house for me first? Any advice helps. Thanks.
I agree with Eliott, it's important that you understand the process and what it feels like to talk to someone who may be motivated before you can delegate the task. After that, you will know what to expect from the VA and how to guide them to achieve your expectations.
