I’m renovating a client’s house for sale right now that was collecting below market rents.I prefer to help my clients build wealth through various hold techniques like live-in flips and helping them with value add renovations.For cash flow, we traded one BELLEVUE property and executed a reverse-improvement exchange, and a forward exchange to buy in Florida and Tacoma... just in case the market turns this will provide a softer landing.  

This is a pretty non-aggressive sales technique if you ask me.  

And trust me, it doesn't even stay in the market for more than 30 days For the most part, most of the common BP style techniques/rules are far less effective in LA.

I like those areas around Woodward as well, although the further north you go the more expensive and less returns you will make.One word of caution on using the delayed financing technique in your acquisition plan.

I wasn't aware of that technique. good idea.

Swanny must spend some time staying on top of the manager, or his properties could crash before his next visit.The beauty of the real estate business is that you can mix and match techniques to come up with a business that works for you.  

Funny, I used a negotiation technique where you provide a last and final number like $260,139 to make it look like a calculation and the realtor told me that he thinks that's why he accepted it in the end.

Some techniques that worked a decade ago no longer have the impact they did due to the number of people that are buying mass marketed lists and blasting out cards and letters that are machine written.  

However if you only invest it in training, then at the end you have lost $50,000 and still don't own anything.There are a lot less inexpensive ways to learn about real estate in my opinion.Don't fall for any high pressure techniques from any guru.....the typical scenario is to go to a free 2-3 hour training session. 

This is a cheap little trick, or a regressive childhood strategy, or a cognitive dysfunction.
