The Maestro believes highly in two marketing techniques to find houses to flip with highly motivated sellers …  bandit signs and direct mail postcards.

- At least 100 bandit signs a month, and

- At least one mailing a month, to either absentee owners (landlords), landlords who recently evicted a tenant (evictions list) and/or to code violators.

All these lists can be acquired or purchased through a list broker (use Google…) or from the clerk of your county court.

What do most of us do with our buyers? A five minute phone conversation.

If this is you, your business is suffering… trust me. Like the mafia, wholesaling real estate is a face-to-face business.

When I was in corporate America, I made it a point to get together with my customers, or potential customers, whenever possible. It could be breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks or just a plain old meeting in the office. Whatever.

Just do it.

Also, and this is important, in about one month, the greatest real estate investing resource ever created, will be released.  Freedom$oft.  It was created by some of the brightest minds in the industry, Preston Ely and Any Proper.   And, it’s going to revolutionize the business.

Look, I’ve used Freedom$oft personally.  And, I give it my personal seal of approval.  It’s the real deal.  And if you use it and fail to make money in real estate… you’re simply not trying.

Click the word “Freedom$oft” above, watch the video and get your free stuff… $500 worth!  Again, The Maestro approves…

Ok, so my HD video camera straight broke. Won’t turn on. Tried resetting it and charging the battery. Nothing. So, you’re going to have to settle for a written Flip Tip this week. And here it is…

Use email marketing to persuade your buyers!

Here is what I used to do when I had a property under contract, and was blasting it out to my buyers list:
Email subject line: 3/1, 1200 sf, cosmetic repairs

Now, do you really think that is going to get it done today?  Heck no!  It worked awhile back, when the market was good and buyers were falling all over themselves trying to buy your property.  But today?  It’s a buyer’s market, my friend.  And you’ll have to do just a little bit better.

Donald Trump says that he looks at hundreds of development offers each week… and chooses maybe one.  Maybe.

That’s how your buyers are these days.  They get tons of emails each week advertising some wholesale property .   The first thing you need to do is get them to open yours.  So, instead of “3/1, 1200 sf, yada, yada, yada,” you write something like:

Incredibly LOW Price Has Wholesale Buyers Scrambling!

Now, why would this make a buyer open the email?

For one, you say the price is incredibly low, but you don’t say how low.  So, they want to check it out.  They are curious.

And two, you create the perception of scarcity.  If buyers are scrambling to buy this property, you better get over there to view it immediately, before it’s gone.

Email marketing is key, my friends.  I recommend that you have a VIP buyers list, which you contact by phone when you get a deal under contract.  However, when emailing, make it compelling…  you have to get past the first hurdle and have them open it.

You have a great deal to offer, right?  So show it off and get someone to buy the thing!

The Maestro’s flipping rules…

Yo, The Maestro says to never, ever, ever be afraid to walk away from a deal… no matter how badly you want it!

The seller can sense desperation in your voice.  And you never want to come off that way.  When you do, they’ve got you.  They now have control of the negotiation.  When that happens, you’re finished. 

Flipping houses can be very easy… or very difficult.  If you stay in control, and never be afraid to walk away, it becomes much easier.
