Inside Look at a $20K Vacant Land Wholesale Deal » 1357

We just did a deal and netted about $21,000. I'm just going to tell you a little bit about it here. We've done a lot of deals. We've been doing this business for a long time, and I wanted to share some things with you to show you how it works. And really, golf's a lot harder than flipping land. I love the game of golf, right? It's always challenging. It's always pushing me to learn and practice. And just like anything, especially real estate, the more you practice, the better you get at it. I have a friend named Jeremy who I've wholesaled a lot of houses with, and he handles everything I’m not good at. I’m not good at being on the phone, talking to sellers, negotiating, following up, and doing the sales stuff. I could do it; I just don't enjoy doing it. And when I don't enjoy doing something, I'm not very good at it, right? Here, I’ll talk to you about why it’s important to get really good at the basics. And if you're not good at it, then find somebody else who is.What’s Inside:—Details on a recent land deal —How to find a partner to share tasks—How to be brilliant at the basics of your real estate business

Jeremy is a wholesaler here in Saint Louis and we’re talking about a vacant land deal that we just did. We netted about $20,682 in profit and Jeremy is one of the best guys I know in the industry. We’ve done houses together for a long time. Just a few months ago, I started telling Jeremy about land and we decided to do some land deals together in southwest Missouri in the Ozarks. Jeremy's a hard money lender and a wholesaler who likes to do the stuff that I don't like to do. He likes to go out and talk to sellers, meet with the sellers, negotiate deals, get them under contract, then flip them and sell them. I'm good at behind-the-scenes stuff. I like to do the marketing, generate the leads, set up the systems, give him the VAs, and all that stuff he doesn't like to do. And then we split the profits. Here, we show you how it’s done.What’s Inside:—Details on a recent successful land deal—Why you should let sellers talk—How to advertise properties

Have you ever read one of those hit pieces in the newspaper or online about something going on in the real estate space, or you read an article about some guru? A few weeks ago, I was reading the Wall Street Journal, and I saw this article about an apartment syndicator guru, somebody who invests in apartments and also educates the best people how to do this. I'd recognized his name before, and my heart sank. After I was done, I was like, this is almost written like a promotional piece for this guy! I got more excited about investing in apartments. Brad Sumrok is here, and he shares how he got over that hit piece and how he built his multifamily investing empire. Brad walks through how syndication works and what you need to do if you’re interested in this kind of strategy.

I recently did a role play with a student who was talking to a seller and wanted some pointers. The property currently has tenants, and the seller wants to evict them. He’s adamant about getting a certain price for the property and so we practiced going back and forth to negotiate and see if we could get an offer together. In this example, you’ll see me play the role of the reluctant buyer, which is what you also want to do. You never want to chase a seller and it’s important to ask as many questions of them as possible. Don’t act like a desperate, motivated buyer. Your job is to ask questions and get them to come up with the number first.What’s Inside:—A live role play where we talk to a seller

Wouldn't it be nice if you never had to worry about making money? What if your business was always profitable? Is that possible? It's absolutely possible. We're going to talk about that right here with my good friend, Tom Krol. One of the things Tom talks about a lot is revenue in the first position. The concept comes from the book Profit First, by Mike Michalowicz. The profit-first strategy pulled me out of trouble and saved me from a lot of trouble.
