Fun With a Purpose and a Realistic Game Plan

If you have gotten a million emails about “Product Launches” over the last year like I have you will probably laugh out loud several times at this short, animated video.

I have no information to share about where it came from but it really nails the point and should be shared far and wide.

So, a realistic game plan. We are adding buyers every week to our list. That’s great, I like buyers. They give me money and I sure like that.

I have noticed, however, that many of them seem to think that we are somehow magic and if they ask for the real estate equivalent of the Bengals winning the Super Bowl that we will able to produce it.

Here’s an example: I got an email from a newly signed up “buyer” the other day asking why he had not been offered a deal from us yet. He had been on our list for 6 weeks and was expecting prompter service.

I took a quick look at his profile and he wants a house for less than 70 cents on the dollar that doesn’t need a “ton” of work…in West Chester or Mason. Oh, he may be willing to stretch out to Hyde Park/Mt Lookout.

So, do you see the problem? Deals like that are not thick on the ground. Sure, we’ve had deals in Hyde Park. It’s happened, but it ain’t all that common and certainly not in the form of paint&carpet jobs.

We all have a perfect deal in mind, but we have to remember to do the great but less than perfect deals along the way or we will have to content ourselves with one transaction every ten years or so.

I’m certainly not suggesting you be in such a rush that you do a deal that’s less than very good or great. You don’t have to. But try to be a little flexible. Expand your mind a just a tad.

We get everything from great retail deals in nice neighborhoods to trash-flow rentals in sketchy ones. The thing that they have in common is that they will all make money.

This is a great time to buy, fix and rent especially with an eye to reselling when the market recovers fully. Don’t get fixated on a particular kind of investment. We’re happy to advise and help you if you want to expand your horizons a little.

The more kinds of deals you are willing to consider, the more deals we will be able to offer you which equals more money for you and more money for us and the world goes round with everyone happy.

Stay Tuned,
Drew
