Flipping Houses – Handling Criticism
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzGnWadNe90
I get students contacting me all the time, all like “Maestro, some lady just called me up and cussed me out, then hung up on me. All I did is make her a low offer to buy her house. Man, I really feel bad. She ruined my day…”
Look, you can’t allow stuff like that to bother, or deter, you. It happens. It happened to me. And, it happens to every other wholesaler out there too. Just part of what we do. For some reason, people get offended by our offers sometimes. It baffles me, but they do. It’s not like we have a gun to their head. We make an offer, and they accept or reject. It’s as simple as that. For some reason, though, people sometimes feel compelled to call us up and cuss us out.
Me, I don’t let it bother me one bit. I just hang up… and move on. I don’t have time to waste on someone like that. Anyone who gets offended by a low offer to buy their house, is just flat out a weak-minded fool. And The Maestro has no time for that. I don’t think I can be offended. It’s possible, I guess. But it would be damn hard. That’s just how I roll. I don’t believe in fairness, either. I only believe in life. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad. Regardless, I just roll with it.
You should, too.

Maestro, you’re the man! Love the vids and the truth/realness that you speak. What website do you use to upload your videos? They look nice, thx

thanks, bro! i use a software program called camtasia to edit my videos. and then i upload them directly to my blog, which is through wordpress. really easy and seamless.
This is exactly the way to do it man! Just like i learned in the military “fall down and get back up”.
I totally relate to this video. Just yesterday, I had an investor “slap” me for what he thought was messing up a deal he had given me the lead to because the client got a better offer or so she said. Three hours later the client called me back and asked me to buy her house $2k less than originally agreed upon as long as I could close within 30 days. The better offer ended up wanting to do a lease-to-own option and I offered a straight up cash offer. I haven’t called the other investor back that gave me the lead. I’ll just send him the referral fee and not work with him again. Everyone runs their business differently and mine isn’t about lying to clients. It’s about being upfront and making fair offers and then letting them know I’m going to wholesale the house and make money off it for my time. Thanks for being straight forward with your videos and I know I need to grow a thicker skin, but until I do, I’ll keep learning from people like you and keep my head up knowing I’m running a straight up business.
Take care and hope you feel better.
