When getting financing from a seller, an indivdual or any other non-institution, always add the clause in the mortgage that you, as the debtor, have the “First Right Of Refusal” to buy back the debt at a discount. Then if the mortgage holder ever decides to sell that note/mortgage you have the opportunity to buy back at a discount. Buying your own notes at a discount is a great untapped profit center.

Mike, I would love to know ho you coordinate the hiring, training, and managing or door knockers for you. I’ve always known it’s effective but it seemed like it would have a lot of turnover and take a lot of time to manage (to me).
The software tips are good, too, guys. I’m looking for stuff that saves you time and lets you have a more automated or efficient business.

I tell my manager for my storage facility to always use email when contacting me. Never call me unless its an emergency and in all honestly most emergency’s are non emergency’s that can be handled by the manager if she thinks things through rather than calling me in a panic. If she has questions she can email them to me and we set up appointment times through email to answer all questions at once.

Hey Alan,
Tip: When you have a project to be done, outsource the organizing of the outsourcing of the task.
In other words, give a brief oral or email description of a project, and have your assistant create the project detail, steps, and outsource the executing of the tasks, just reporting to you with questions for clarification and updates.
Thanks, Greg
P.S. I also just want to send you a big thanks, because I was on one of your calls about 5 months ago where you said you were going to give away your program, and *I* was the lucky winner of your complete program that night! I received “The Assistant Who Pays Their Own Salary” package in the mail a week later, and I love it! It’s been a great help.
Thanks again, Greg

I go to Real Estate meetings where I meet newbies eager to learn what I know, in exchange for their help doing all the mundane tasks I don’t want to do.
