If you chose #4 above, you are absolutely
right. Nothing in real estate could be more important
than being able to find deals over and over again. What
good is having the money, the repair crew, and the transactional
know-how if you have no deals to use them on in the first
place? Let's not put the cart before the horse.
Being able to effectively and easily find safe deals that
can be bought under market value is the #1 thing that
separates the truly successful investors from everybody
else. It will mean the difference between taking your
business to the next level or just stumbling along and
finding a few deals here and there out of sheer luck.
Remember, you can always wholesale deals even if you have
no money, no team, and no experience, and make $5,000-10,000
per deal or more. This is why marketing comes first! If
nothing else, learn this key element of investing in real
estate and you will always do well in good and bad markets.
Who Are You?
I'm Alan Brymer, and I have been investing in real estate
full-time for over 5 years now. During this time, I have
been on a relentless quest to test as many advertising
methods as possible in order to find which ones find the
most deals with the least cost, time, and hassle.
I have personally tested dozens of advertising methods
and samples and am now making available everything the
best of what I have learned from experience. I have asked
other investors around the country what is working and
what is not. I have reviewed countless investors' marketing
examples, I've invested a fortune in marketing education,
and I've learned a thing or two:
One thing I've learned: You have to let
sellers know you exist. If you want to make a significant
amount of money in real estate, you'll need to treat it
like a business and do what successful businesses do-advertise.
Second thing I've learned: Fortunately,
this can be done on a shoestring budget, if necessary.
Of all the methods I've tested, some have been incredibly
expensive and some have cost me absolutely nothing. Looking
back, I think it was the super-cheap ways that worked
the best.
Third thing I've learned: Some methods work
better than others. Until I started tracking the results
I was getting from different kinds of ads, I was wasting
a lot of money and time. Then, after I started tracking
results, I knew what I was spending, but spent a lot of
money and time on ads that
didn't work in order
to find out what
does work.
Why Should I Care?
What I'm offering now is the chance to skip past years
(and tens of thousands of dollars) of trial and error,
and find out everything I've learned about finding motivated
sellers in the easiest and most cost-effective ways. I
not only want to share with you some of the techniques
I have used (letters, signage, internet, TV, etc), I want
to give you the
principles and
practices
that have led some of the top single-family investors
to get where they are today.
The very best investors I know, the ones that do 3, 4,
5 deals per month, or more-they are all
great marketers.
Trust me, you do not get to that point by putting up a
few signs and running a classified ad. To the degree that
you master the art of marketing, you will find more deals
and rest will take care of itself. But the minute the
deals stop coming in, everything else shuts down.
This is why I don't want to just give you a bunch of sample
ads that have worked for some investors in some cities
around the country. If I did only that, they might work
for a while. But what if they stopped? Where would you
be then? My goal is to do what I can to make you a marketing
master, so that YOU will have the knowledge and independence
to create your own campaigns by selecting your own:
- Markets (types of motivated sellers)
- Methods (effective ways to contact sellers)
- Message (the words that get sellers to call
you)
After all, Marketing is one of the 5 Key Elements required
to run a successful and systemized real estate business,
and if there's any one of the 5 to master,
this is
the one. Finding just
one more deal this year
could make you an extra $5,000 - $30,000. But everything
else you do is dependent on finding them first.
So What Are You Offering?
Whether you are a brand new investor or you have already
done a ton of deals, there is a way to take your investing
to the next level. There was such a demand for this topic
in my area that I taught a series of 3-hour seminars covering
every aspect of finding houses under market value with
the least cost and hassle. I call it the
How to Find
Motivated Sellers seminar series.
I poured my heart and soul into making these seminars
the most informative, practical, and realistic events
possible. I've since realized that many investors I know
around the country have been searching for something like
this for years. So now they are being made available to
everyone who couldn't be there in person-word for word.
The first of these series is now available in printed
and audio format. It's where we hit the ground running
and lay a foundation for your marketing success. I go
into great depth on several of my favorite marketing methods
that have served me very well over the years - Direct
Mail, Telemarketing, Networking, Business Cards, Signs,
and a few others.
