@Collin Goodwin you're right, it can turn into a graveyard and many can overlap.  I have worked hard to make sure mine are very clean, unique, and useful, as I also sell my turn-key system commercially to other wholesalers.  It's awesome to see them scale their business and work much easier with the automation.

Man that is a tough question!  I have a ton of useful workflows, but I have 4 primary workflows that I would say I cannot work without.

1.  Automatically pulls property information for me in every lead

  • Bedrooms
  • Bathrooms
  • sq ft
  • lot size
  • year built
  • tax assessment value
  • tax assessment year
  • zestimate
  • rental estimate
  • Recently sold property comps for the property

2.  Automated drip campaigns (contacts the sellers automatically)

  • Email and text message drip campaigns...totally customizable

3.  Creates, and sends 3 types of offers to the sellers for Esignature, or through USPS

  • All Cash
  • Subject To
  • Owner Financing

4.  Sends the back end buyer contracts for Esignature

  • Assignment With Fee shown
  • Assignment without fee shown
  • Double Closing

Picking 4 was hard...all of the workflows that transfers the information from one App to the next App is also incredibly useful, as I can't imagine inputting all of the information over and over.

Automation is KEY for being able to run your REI business efficiently, and in a manner that can scale. Using the Podio platform as a cloud based business platform, and tying in the external integration features as well as over 130 Globiflow Flows is what has enabled me to be successful at wholesaling while working a full time job as an engineer!

I can only imagine the success I'd have going full time with this powerful tool.

Many other people use my platform as well and are having great success with it.  If anybody would like to chat about it, let me know!

Post: CRM's Like InvestorFuse Getting Pricey? Want a Better Solution?

There are many automated REI systems on the market. BoomTown, InvestorFuse are just a couple of the big names. However, they carry a HUGE monthly fee that can really weigh you down.

I chose not to subscribe to those services for two simple reasons:

1.  The monthly fee was more than I was willing to pay for

2.  Just like real estate, I did not want to "rent"..I wanted to own.  Their systems are subscriptions only, and I could not edit, add, or customize the system to my liking.

Our system takes a different approach - instead of a huge monthly fee, imagine paying a one time fee for a total automation system (also run through Podio)!  Also, you get ALL of the code.  So you can do all of the editing, adding, and further enhancing that you want!

Our system, Wholesale Hacker, is not just an automated CRM system...it is a full package of Total automation!

  • Direct Mail mailing and tracking
  • Automated tasks, notifications, and reminders to all of your team members
  • Automated lead generation from your phone calls and website submissions
  • Automated property analysis, market analysis, comps, repair estimates
  • Automated Drip Campaigns (email and text) to ALL of your leads
  • Sending offers to your leads with the click of a button
  • Setting appointments and closings with the click of a button
  • Send assignment contracts and do double closings - again, with the click of a button
  • Strong lead and network consolidation so that you never lose a lead and can keep track of your REI network seamlessly
  • Etc.

This system does it all, and most importantly, will not drain you of your cash to do so.  Whether you are wholesaling locally, virtual wholesaling, or simply marketing for your own deals - THIS SYSTEM IS FOR YOU!

Check out Wholesale Hacker at the website.  You can see live video demos as well as testimonials, and more information

Thanks for tagging me in!  Let me know if you have any other questions.  @Ramy Barsoum hit the nail on the head with the extra features.  When I decided to build the system, I built it because I personally couldn't find any turn-key system that provided every features from start to finish that I needed.  Most of the systems were just pieces of the puzzle.

The learning curve was also something that I thought about when building the system.  To combat that I have a 25 page users manual that I encourage all of my clients to read before and during using the system, it really helps expedite the learning curve.

If you are interested, I can also connect you with some investors who have already purchased and been using Wholesale Hacker, so that you can get their feedback on how it's working for them.

If you're ready to automate your wholesaling, property acquisitions, and CRM systems, look no further.  Especially if you're looking to save $158/mo vs. InvestorFuse.  This system does not disappoint, and it only costs a one time fee!  

On top of only having to pay once, you will own it after that.  Meaning you can continue to customize it, edit it, and add code for further automation as you continue to grow your business.

This system that we have designed is a geared towards those investors who want to be able to automate their business, scale with ease, NEVER LOSE A LEAD, and not kill their wallet every month!

Check out all it has to offer and contact me if you're interested!

Are you spending a TON of time running your business manually? 

Is your system doing everything that it needs to do to make your life easier?

I have build a top of the line automated CRM and wholesaling software system that runs through Podio.

This system is perfect for anybody doing marketing/property acquisition/CRM/wholesaling, and needing more automation.

The name of this system is Wholesale Hacker, and unlike other automated systems out there, I do not charge a monthly subscription fee for it.  In fact, once you purchase it, YOU OWN IT...meaning you will get all of the Globiflow coding that comes along with it.

This enables you to further customize the system, and build on as you go.

Many people have already purchased the system and LOVE it.  Check out all of the features that this system can offer you, as well as video demos and testimonials, by visiting my website below!

I look forward to working with you, and introducing automation into your business so that you can work smarter, not harder!

Thanks,

Mike

Over the last few months I have developed a way to completely automate my wholesaling business.  It has saved me HOURS of time that I would normally spend on my processes, by doing it all for me.

I've been selling the system to other wholesalers, or pretty much anybody who markets for their own deals (buyers included), and have been getting amazing feedback on the system.  I fully integrate it with all of your existing services (VOIP, Websites, etc.) so that it's one full system working for you.

Check out my website that shows all of the features it automates and also check out the Video Demos where I record myself showing you exactly how the features work in live action!

This is not a monthly subscription, this is a single purchase and then you own it.

Looking forward to working with you!

Having a good CRM system is key in wholesaling, as you can market all that you want, but if you don't have a good system to track them and follow up, you will lose a lot of good deals.

I built a phenomenal automated wholesaling and CRM platform through Podio that I call Wholesale Hacker. I've checked out Investorfuse and Reflex CRM, however their monthly fees are way too high.

I'm not going to advertise here since it's not the market place, but if you'd like to check out my automated package, message me and I'll shoot you a link to my product page. I've made some sales on it already and my clients LOVE it.
