Hi Everyone,

Kuba Fietkiewicz here, founder of REIkit.com online house flipping and wholesaling software, based out of Los Angeles.

Real estate wholesalers and flippers today know that finding deals is not as easy as it was just a few years ago, but one thing remains true: real estate is still very much a relationship-based business.

So whether you're driving for dollars, hustling with bandit signs, or setting up lead generation online, you still need to build those relationships.

In this post I highlight 35 real estate business relationships you should build to maximize the number of leads you get:

Hi Everyone,

My name is Kuba Fietkiewicz and I run my online house flipping and wholesaling software company, REIkit.com, out of Los Angeles.

REIkit was born when I made some serious mistakes while flipping houses and wanted to find THE magic formula for how to make sure it didn't happen again.

Through building REIkit.com and doing more flips, I finally figured out that there is no magic formula to be found.

The only thing we can do is educate ourselves as much as possible and try to account for every single risk and cost we can think of before jumping into a new project.

That's what I had in mind when I build out all the tools on the site...

With each tool I build, I ask myself: "Does this tool help my customers prevent the mistakes I made back then? Does this tool help my customers succeed?"

The comps adjustment tool, which is part of the free ARV Calculator, is particularly close to my heart, because I lost over $15,000 on my first flip by not accounting for features and amenities of my comps (such as beds, baths, garages and pools) when I did my initial deal analysis.

These tools are free for everyone to use instantly and will improve your estimated After Repair Value in under an hour.

Is an hour of your time worth $15,000?

I'll leave you with the link to the free ARV Calculator and Comps Adjustment tools:

Comment below or chat on the site if you have any questions or even to just let me know how it worked out for you.

Cheers!

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

Kuba Fietkiewicz here, founder of online house flipping and wholesaling software REIkit.com. Today I want to talk about how you, as wholesalers looking to market to your buyer's list, can create professional deal sheets to send to them in minutes.

When I first started REIkit, I often got requests for new tools from wholesalers who were presented with an interesting problem.

They were finding deals, running comps and calculating After Repair Value so that they can present to their buyer's list a deal that investors would want.

The problem was that they were frustrated with the limitations of the word processing programs they were using to create these deal sheets.

They thought they were difficult to put together, boring to look at, and just didn’t present that professional, polished look they wanted to show.

I took all that feedback in and created an interface where wholesalers can build out a property detail report in just a few steps.

It looks great, and best of all can be printed, emailed, or shared. See what an example report looks like here:

Hey BiggerPockets Community,

Kuba Fietkiewicz here, founder of REIkit.com online house flipping and wholesaling software, based out of Los Angeles.

Today I'll talk a little bit about two free tools on the site that will save you time and money. The first is the After Repair Value Calculator, and the second is the Comps Adjustment tool.

Like many new investors, when I first started to fix and flip and needed to find a property's After Repair Value, I used a spreadsheet to type up my comps and average their values using basic formulas.

However, my annoyance grew with having to save version after version of a spreadsheet, deleting rows and copying content, and having to manually update formulas over and over.

I created REIkit's online online adjusting the comps for features.

If you've ever experienced frustration with trying to find comps exactly like the subject property, you may know where I'm coming from.

It may have even occurred to you that if your subject property has a garage, shouldn't that mean your subject property is worth more than a comp without a garage? The answer is "Yes, absolutely."

It is absolutely crucial to compare, and adjust, for features like beds, baths, garages and pools before you commit to a deal.

Run an analysis on your potential deal instantly with the ARV Calculator and comps adjustment tools today:

Hey Everyone,

Kuba Fietkiewicz here, founder of REIkit.com house flipping and wholesaling software based in Los Angeles.

Today I wanted to talk about getting material and labor costs for your rehab estimates, even if you've never set foot in a hardware store or called around for construction bids.

If you're just starting out in the house flipping, wholesaling, or rental business, you may have found out how hard it is to estimate rehab construction costs. There are really only two options in solving that problem:

1. You can bring a general contractor with you to every property you think is a potential deal,

or

2. You can get hands-on experience in identifying what is wrong with a house and do your own estimates.

The first choice is going to become expensive, fast. Unless you are in a position where you can offer work to the GC on a property you acquire, you're not going to get anyone to work for you for free.

The second option is the way to go. Yes, it requires more time and effort, but the education you acquire and eventual savings will more than make up for that.

So, what's the best way to get this experience?

In my own fix and flips, I evaluate as many properties as I can find, and when I go to visit a potential flip, I take along my camera phone and film a walk through of each room and the exterior, carefully narrating what needs repairing.

Then comes the difficult part: identifying all the items involved with a repair, itemizing all of these costs into one tidy list, and calculating the final cost. For example, a window repair not only includes the cost of the actual window but also the labor that it costs to install it.

I created the Rehab Cost Estimate Tool to help take the unknown out of getting an accurate estimate.

The Rehab Costs Estimate tool has:

• Thousands of items to choose from
• Each item has a material cost and labor cost associated to it
• Nationwide -- all costs based on the property's zip code
• Easily create a PDF to share, email, or print

Try out the material and labor costs Rehab Costs Estimate tool on your next fix & flip, rental, or wholesale property today with a full-featured, risk-free trial:

Hey BiggerPockets Community,

Kuba Fietkiewicz here, founder of REIkit.com online house flipping and wholesaling software.

Today I'll talk a little bit about two free tools that will make you look like a rock star to your cash buyers. The first is the After Repair Value calculator, and the second is the Comps Adjustment tool.

Putting yourself in your buyer's shoes, there are two questions you have to ask yourself when analyzing a potential property to put under contract.

Can the buyer profit?

First, you need to know if your cash buyers will even consider the deal you're looking at. Does it have enough spread to fit both your AND their profit? Getting an accurate After Repair Value can be accomplished with this free tool that imports comps for your property.

How do we get to Win-Win

Seasoned cash buyers can smell a bad deal from a mile away, but as you bring your buyers win-win deals, they will keep coming back for more.

How do you get to win-win stage? It's easy, take the time to do the research on a property you're putting under contract by performing a comps adjustment on it.

99% of wholesalers will not take this extra step; but I guarantee you, when you do the legwork, and get to the same result as the cash buyer, THAT is a deal worth working.
