My Marketing

My Marketing

By Greg Gardner

There are many ideas for marketing, including listing with realtors. Below is a generalized review of how I market my own properties. I have sold retail houses in less than a week with this procedure. This is no guarantee, but will be better than just the newspaper ad. The key to this is to do EVERYTHING, not just the “good ideas”.

  1. Newspapers – While this is not the most cost-affective way to market, it does cover a large number of people and give your house exposure that can make the difference in a quick sale and weeks on the market. You should cover every major paper in your city and surrounding counties. For example: in Gastonia you would utilize the Gaston Gazette, The Charlotte Observer, the Rock Hill Herald and Shelby Shopper. The total cost for a one-week ad of 4-5 lines will be about $500. “For Sale, For Rent, Rent to Own, 3Br / 2Ba”

  2. For Sale Yard Sign – Don’t do what everyone else does.  Every realtor in town has the same sign.  It’s metal or plastic, 18”X24” or 24”X24”.  You need to stand out, be different and therefore better.  Put a panel sign in the yard, at least 24”H X 36”W.  This will attract attention and generate calls.  Don’t put it on a wire stand.  Mount the sign on 4X4 posts and install it in the ground.  Make it look like it cost $250-300 (Because it does and it’s worth it) Although expensive, it can be used for years, so take care of it.
  3. Small Yard Signs – Place multiple plastic signs in the yard. These can be 18” x 24” realtor-style signs. Put each one on its own wire stand and place them in the yard. “1500 Sq Ft”, “3 Bedroom”, “2 Bath”, “Newly Remodeled”. These attract additional attention to your house. It makes it look like you’re having an open house. They will last through several houses if you don’t abuse them.
  4. Banner – Put a 3’X5’ banner on the front of the house. Hang it from the roof and secure it with string or wire. A white background with Black and Red letters is great. These colors catch people’s eye. Now your house doesn’t look like everyone else’s house. If there are three other houses for sale on your street, yours will stand out from the rest.

  5. Directional Signs – Place these at every corner within three or four blocks of your house. These have arrows and point ward the house where you have more signs in the yard. No phone, no info, just “For Sale, For Rent → ”. We use about 20 of these at every house. While some “get gone” each time, I recover about half. Therefore when you order them, have 100-150 printed. This keeps the per-piece-price low so it doesn’t cost much to lose one. Also, only have one side printed so they can be placed on utility poles.
  6. Bandit Signs – Everyone has seen “I Buy Houses” signs. You need some signs to sell. The neighborhood is covered, but you need to branch out. Get out of the city limits and start hanging these signs. Light poles, Phone Poles, Fence Posts and anywhere you can put them. Keep these generic. “For Sale, Rent to Own, 3 Br / 2Ba, Phone”. If you only have a 2 Bdrmr or a 1 Bth, then tell the buyer, you sold that house, “but you have another”.

  7. Direct Mail – I mail to everyone within a ½ mile of the particular house I’m marketing. They get a flyer that tells about the house. It has a large headline … “Pick Your Neighbor”, “Brother Sleeping on Your Couch?”, “House For Sale … On Your Street”. There are more, but this is a good sample. I send to about 300-500 people. Tell them you pay a referral fee of $500 if they send someone to you. You can also send to businesses within 10 miles.
  8. “PROP THE HOUSE” … This is one of the most important. A house is much easier to rent, or sell, if someone can envision what it will look like with “stuff” in it. When housing builders showcase a spec house to pre-sell other houses, it is almost ALWAYS furnished. This does not have to be costly (approx. $2000-2500) but needs to look nice. You might be surprised at the furnishings you can find at Goodwill, Salvation Army or used furniture stores.
  • Bedroom #1  - Get a box spring and put it on cinder blocks. Drape a bedspread over it. Put a headboard behind it. Place a dresser and bedside table in the room.
  • Bedroom #2 - Large-format picture of a decorated bedroom
  • Bedroom #3 - Large-format picture of a home-office
  • Kitchen - Table and four chairs.
  • Bath - Shower curtain, towels, soap dish, etc
  • Living Rm. - Couch, two chairs, coffee table, etc

There are lots of little places, like video stores, nail shops, groceries, etc, where you can do further marketing, but this covers the major areas. All seven steps should be done in 24-48 hours. Mail the letters. The next day, place the signs. If you do this on Sat and Sun, you should start having calls on Mon. This is just the start.

Although the cost of this is about $800-1200 per house, your goal is to generate 100-150 calls. Some people automate this with answering services and recordings. I field my own calls. Here is what you should expect:

150 Calls – People asking questions. Tell them to go by the house and take a look.

60-80 People tell you they are going to visit the house. They don’t.

25-35 People actually go by the house.

12-15 Like it enough to call you back.

5-7 Show up on Saturday to see the inside.

That’s 5-7 people that you have pre-screened. They either can buy the house or have the money to lease option. They have already seen the neighborhood and like the outside of the house. Now they are making a second or third trip to the house to meet you and see inside.

Have everyone show up at the same time. Give them an info sheet on the house and wait outside or in the kitchen.

Driving For Dollars

Driving For Dollars

By Jeff Adams

Have you ever wondered how the successful real-estate investors purchase deals that you never saw listed or on your pre-foreclosure list? The answer is simple. They don't compete against the same houses off of the pre-foreclosure list that everyone else is bidding against. If you would like to find the same deals that the super-successful real-estate investors come across, read on.

Step 1 - Pick a neighborhood that interest you, e.g. , in transition, being fixed up, however not in a "war-zone".

Step 2 - Drive around it slowly and write down 20-30 addresses of vacant, neglected, or boarded up houses. A lot of times they have signs on them For Sale, For Sale By Owner or For Rent.

Step 3 - Find out who the owners are. You can start by running a property profile of the property on FastWeb. You can also check the following resources on the internet:
www.Anywho.com
www.Reverseaddress.com
www.Phonenumber.com

If this does not work, I would recommend trying one of the pay for search services:
www.Merlindata.com
www.Findtheseller.com

Lastly, if you still cannot find the owner, try asking the existing tenants if occupied or asking the neighbors. Remember, the harder the owner is to find, the better the deal!

Step 4 - Start by sending them a letter offering to purchase their house. In your letter explain the benefits of them selling their house to you. One of the ways I have found the best deals is by offering to close in 10 days or less and take the property with the existing tenants. If they respond to your letter, talk to them in a respectful manner and ask them what the least they would consider taking for their property. Then give them a couple different scenarios of how you would like to purchase their property. The first scenario would be "all-cash". The second scenario could be cash to existing loan subject to. The third scenario would be to put money down and have the seller carry back a 2nd. If the sellers asking price is too high and you cannot negotiate to get the price any lower, provide them with some low comps for properties that have recently sold in their area. Explain to them how much it will cost to rehab the property and how much it will cost to sell the property using a realtor paying 6% commission and 3% closing cost for termite, home warranty, FHA non-allowables, roof certification, etc… Explain to them you will buy the house in it's present "as-is" condition. If you have no luck contacting them with a letter, then go to the next step.

Example:

  1. I will pay $80,000, ALL CASH, closing in as little as 10 days from contract acceptance.
  2. I will pay $90,000 with $5,000 down and assume existing mortgage of $85,000 with
    payments of 650.00 per month "subject to."
  3. I will purchase the house for $85,000 and get a 1st mortgage for $60,000. The seller carries back a 2nd mortgage in the amount of $25,000 at 6% interest for 15 years. If you want to make this a no-money down deal this is very simple. You purchase the house for $85,000 and have
    the seller carry back either a 10% or 20% second. This second records after you purchase the property. You will go to a different escrow company and have them draw up the paperwork for the 2nd on the property. You then have the 1st escrow company draw up an irrevocable
    amendment right before closing designating the amount of the sellers proceeds to go to the other escrow company at closing to fund the 2nd. You will have to put up your money for a couple of days until the 2nd funds and records. Then you will be reimbursed your money back from
    the seller by the "silent" 2nd they are carrying.

Step 5 - Contact them by phone. This has been my most successful method of purchasing houses from "absentee" owners. Explain to them that you are looking for a house in that neighborhood to purchase and are interested in buying their house. Try to find out what the lowest price they would accept and then give them several different scenarios like I mentioned earlier. Send your offers by priority mail and follow-up with immediately. If you are offered an absolute "steal" on a property over the phone, I would recommend getting in your car immediately and driving to wherever the owner is and have him sign your purchase contract. If the owner is out of state, jump on a plane! I have flown all over the United States to have "absentee" owners sign my purchase contract. If the owners you have contacted are not interested in selling, send them a cash offer anyways. In your cash offer, you want to offer to close in 10 days or less and take the property with the existing tenants. Continue to follow-up with the owner on a weekly, monthly, or semi-monthly basis, whatever you feel comfortable with. If you are unable to reach them by telephone, proceed to the next step.

Step 6 - Cash-offer. Sometimes with much persistence, you may not be able to find out what their telephone number is and do not get a response by mail after several mailings. It has been my experience that money talks. Send them a cash-offer. Explain to them in your offer that you will that the property "as-is" and that you can close escrow in 10 days. you will be surprised how fast your phone will start ringing. What I recommend for a cash offer is to go to Staples and purchase the printable checks and clear envelopes. You can send an offer in the form of a check without your bank account number and bank routing numbers. Explain to them that this check could be theirs in 10 days or less if they accept your offer. It this does not work, continue to follow-up with your prospect and with persistence this will all pay off!

Remember: "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."

Best Riches,
Jeff Adams

Foreclosure Investing and Structuring Deals with Private Investors

By Paul Wells

As a foreclosure investor, you'll want to find private investors and structure deals with them. So you might ask yourself, “How much money do I offer my private investors?” That's easy: if it’s a new relationship, make sure it’s attractive enough that they are going to say yes! In this article, I explain how to successfully work with private investors.

There is no set amount that private investors expect to make on deals with real estate investors. Some private investors would like to lend you money at 10-12% interest per year. Others may want a percentage of the profits. They all have different expectations. Your job is to understand what they want in exchange for lending you their money.

The terms of private money can be anywhere from one month to whatever deal you need to strike. As long as the investor is getting paid the interest rate that you’ve promised them they’re probably not going to pressure you to give them back their money before the agreed-upon date--as long as it remains secured.
The more private investors you have at your disposal the less your money is going to cost you. And as you continue to have successful transactions with your private investors, their trust in you will go up and they'll be more likely to lend you additional funds.

With our private investors we let our interest accumulate. For example, we borrow $100,000 at 12% per year, or $1000 per month in interest-only payments. Let’s say it takes 6 months to close the transaction; we will not pay them $1000 a month for six months. We will pay them $6,000 at the end of 6 months, plus their principal back. Most real estate investors will only do interest-only loans. They will not reduce the principal as the deal goes on like a bank would.

What you need to do when working with private investors is find someone who understands return-on-investment. If they don’t know a lot about the real estate business and return on investment it will be your job to educate them with statistics on the real estate industry that show them that investing in real estate through you is a good risk.
These days many investors are scared of the stock market and are looking for alternatives and most investors are looking for something solid. Explain to your potential investors that real estate is a solid investment that is secured by a Deed of Trust.

Here's my secret for keeping my private investors happy: when I do a good deal with my investor's money, I reward them with bonuses. If I make a substantial amount of money, let’s say $35,000, I might reward my investor with a $5,000 bonus check. Why? Because I like 12% money with no points. I want to keep my investors happy. It needs to be a win-win situation for everybody.
Continue to seek out private investors in your foreclosure investing business. It can be hard but very rewarding.

Estimating the value of Real Estate

By Barbara Avery

Most of you run your comparables and compare the subject by looking at the living area, number of bedrooms and baths and parking options. You fail to consider the lot value. It only takes a few minutes to look for some land sales in the general area of the subject.

Fifteen years ago, site values in the Tampa bay area averaged 24% of the total value of the property. Today, the lot value averages up to 49% of the overall property value in our area. In areas like Miami and Ft Lauderdale, they are averaging closer to 70%. Waterfront properties in our area tend to average around 80% or more, according to the location and view.

Pinellas County is the most densely populated county in the state. It makes sense that the land is expensive. The closer to the coast, the higher the land value. There is little vacant land in our area. Underwriters are accustomed to seeing lots valued at less than 30% of the property and often ask the appraiser to explain why the lot value is much higher than that. They see land values from all over the Country and our land values probably shock most of them. If the lot has water on it, or near to it, the site is probably more that 50% of the total value. If it is a special lot with large oak trees, or in the vicinity of a golf course, it may be valued higher. Remember the old saying: "location, location, location". It has never been more true. When selecting comparables to estimate the value of a property, look first at the location. If your subject is 1 block from a ski lake, look for other properties that are 1 block from a ski lake. Even though the lot is not located directly on the lake, people will pay more to be closer to the lake.
This might help you get a more realistic estimate of value because it is very important to compare like properties. Compare apples to apples and not oranges.

Another item that many of you fail to do, is to spend more time on curb appeal. It a woman doesn't like the appearance, you will have a hard time getting her to even enter the house, let alone purchase it. It doesn't cost that much to spruce up the exterior. If it needs paint, then paint it. Take out old shrubs and wash the windows. Don't leave it as your workmen left it, all gritty and dusty. Take time to have your house cleaned and spend some money in the bathroom. Don't go overboard with bright lights in the bathroom. It's harsh reality. Put in a decent sized vanity. One thing I particularly dislike is these little bitty toilets they put in houses. Men just can't fit on them and they look ridiculous.

I hope these comments help you. If you have any questions, please call us and we will be happy to try to answer them.

September 9th, workshop with Alan Cowgill, WHY & HOW to find Private Money

Two Major Benefits of Having Private Lenders

I started my business by using banks, savings, credit cards, lines of credit, creative techniques with sellers (like land contracts or lease/options), and partners. But, once I was self-employed, I was concerned that it was going to be harder to get loans to purchase properties.

I had always been unhappy about how long the banks take to get the job done. I had it take 4-1/2 months on a house without a furnace. The bank didn't know if they wanted to make a loan on that kind of house, but that is what my rehab business is all about. Buy 'em ugly, cheap and fix 'em.

Just think, if I would have used a private lender on the above deal, I could have bought, fixed & sold the house and pocketed $20,000 by the time I got to the closing table with the bank.

With private lenders, I have the funds available all the time. When a good deal comes my way, I can grab it because I know the money is waiting for me. While my competitors are scrambling around applying at the bank, I've made an offer and closed the deal. My rehab crew is all over the property like ants before the competition knows what happened. I love having private lenders for my business.

So, a major benefit is SPEED to purchase a property.

Let's look at another major benefit of having private lenders. My first private lender was my Mother. My Dad had passed away in 1989 and Mom had insurance money. She proudly invested it on bank certificates of deposit (CDs). When I became a real estate investor, I learned about finding private lenders and so I talked to Mom about it. She loaned me $5,000 and received 10% interest in return. I paid her monthly just like her bank did with her CDs. She was delighted and so was I.

As my use of private lenders increased, I learned that some of them didn't need monthly payments and so I started to structure my loans so there was no payment until the property is sold.

This is a huge benefit... Think about what this has done to improve my monthly cash flow. Now my Mom will always get monthly payments from me because she is retired and depends on that income BUT anyone who can wait on their money, I'll let the money accrue. So the second major benefit is improved CASH FLOW because you don't have to make monthly mortgage payments but just let the interest accrue.
