Quote from @Kelsie Buth:

Hi Josh! My husband and I live in LV and we are looking to purchase our first investment property. We're new to the field and to Bigger Pockets so will be as active on the forum as possible moving forward. We've been following some of your previous threads - thanks for asking a lot of helpful questions! 

Our plan is to buy-and-hold and utilize the property as an MTR/LTR due to the licensing restrictions (and saturation) for STRs in LV. It would be great to connect with you sometime to discuss further if you're open to it.  


 Hi Kelsie! Thanks for the comment and sharing your goals. I just sent you a message. Let's connect and I can give you some insight on the market and my experience with MTRs.

Quote from @Matt Marcus:

go by this Principle, most people like to work with who they know like and trust. Like and trust can be a split second decision. 

You got the first part down on the Know by door knocking. but I would dress in a manner that is reflective of the community you are door knocking in. Unless you're on the beach, i'd avoid the flip flops and board shorts, but Also I think most people get defenisve or put off by suits when they are knocking on someones door, so Business Casual, collard shirt if that is something you'd wear or a Clean- Non Graphic T (unless you had your own made), clean cut dark denim jeans -- and some clean shoes. 

You will do better door knocking when you feel comfortable, and when you feel comfortable the people in front of you will feel more comfortable and they can tell (but we should also not feel like you are dressing for your living room either), and so dress how you would want to dress, in a way that is clean, professional, but more casual in clothes that fit well and are not uncomfortable to tight or too big--  otherwise you will feel it as soon as you knock on the door.  


 Great thank you!

Hey Josh, I am Active AF too and just got my license. I have been struggling with lead gen. I recently invested in a coaching program and am finishing up the training. I revamped my schedule to be able to prospect every morning. I am looking forward tracking numbers and setting appointments.


 Congrats on the license! Which coaching program did you do and how did you like it? Also where are you located?

I went with Reverse Selling by Brandon Mullrenin, i like the structured approach and accountability. Currently, im finishing up my last cpl years before retirement at the JBMDL, NJ.

 I was going to guess him. I have been following him on Youtube for months now and a big fan. How has the outbound prospecting been? I am using Vulcan7.

Quote from @Dené Sellers:

Hi Josh, I am not in the Military, but all of my uncles were. I am a realtor next to Camp Pendleton, lead gen is hard, but I would recommend getting as many refer partners as possible outside different bases... example, I give a referral fee of 30% on all closed transactions. I have a couple of good referral partners, I am happy to share with you. 

 Absolutely Dene, thank you! I am in Las Vegas. I would do the same as well!

Hi everyone, I'm curious if anyone else out there is active military and also doing real estate. I have had my license for almost 2 years and have been doing as much as I can outside of my military duties and travels (deployments, TDYs, etc). 

I did 12 transactions last year and only a few this year so far. I'd really love to bump the numbers up - my biggest piece is lead gen. What do you all do besides sphere of influence? (many of my clients are military as well so it comes from SOI). But I am trying cold calling at night and running ads. Considering door knocking in the evenings/weekends. 

Appreciate any insight!

Do you dress professional or more casually? Curious on the strategies. Thanks!
