However, I was up, one night and just messing around on on Facebook marketplace. And I just happened to see one mobile home that she had listed. She had the mobile home was for like 18,000 or something. It was it was way too high. Now, in my business is a side note, it's our policy at least in the market that we mainly buy in. This deal was in Oklahoma. You know, it's our policy that we don't pay more than $5,000 for a mobile home. I don't care how new or old it is. That's just what we do. So, keep that in mind. So that's a side note.

February 06, 2023

Today I'm going to do a video on how I got six mobile homes for $12,000. And yeah, that seems like an impossible thing, but it's true and we'll dive into how I did that. So, I was just searching Facebook marketplace. Now, keep in mind, I don't ever look for deals on Facebook or Craigslist or any of those things. I know they are out there, but it is time consuming. And, you know, it's difficult to get those a lot of times. I just want you to know that that's not how I search for deals. That's not one of our marketing channels to just search Facebook marketplace.

Because that's one thing too hard. Money is not going to give you a loan if it's not a great deal, you know, because then you will be stuck with a with a lemon, you know. So typically, they're pretty conservative when they loan money because they want to make sure their money is safe.
 

February 04, 2023

Sometimes hotels make sense because buyers don't always necessarily want your deal. And it's not because it's not a deal all the time. Maybe it's timing. Maybe it's location. Maybe it's a lot of different reasons. They can't see the vision of what it could be. Whatever that reason is, if you know you've got a strong deal and it's really good, it's worth wholetail. And even if you have to get a hard money loan or something like that, if it's really worth it.

February 02, 2023


Either way. So that turned my fifth month of wholesaling into $143,000 in profit, just five months in the business. So keep in mind six or seven of those were real actual wholesale deals and that one was hotel.

February 02, 2023


This was a kind of a hoarder house, too. There was crap and junk everywhere. So it looks worse than it really was. And that's the hard thing to. So what I did was I had to remove everything. So constantly, 6000 dollars to have the place completely cleaned out. So after it was cleaned out, just so it's a little more presentable. And then I immediately went to an investor friendly realtor that I knew that I just met, obviously, and she listed it for us. So we listen it for I think we listened for like 85,000 initially.

February 01, 2023

January 30, 2023


So my justification was, you know, yeah, we've got to bring the laundry inside. Three bedroom, one and a half minimum. You know, that's just what the market in the area called for, because currently it was a21. You know, I told her, you know, I just need to be close to 20 grand. And she was just like, man, 20 grand. That's man, I can't do that. She's like, Can you do a 28? You know, she was just like, she was already willing to work with me. So, long story short, I did. I closed with four with 25,000.

January 29, 2023


So long story short, you know, I'm going to go sit with the lady and just said, hey, there's more repairs needed than I thought, you know? You know, because that was the feedback that buyers were telling me, you know, that most of them were saying 60 to 70 in repairs. And I was thinking 40 to 50 initially. So I was like, you know, I need to honestly be closer to 20,000 to really make this work. There's just a lot more going on here, a lot more repairs than I anticipated, because that's the thing. When you renegotiate, you have to justify your discount.

January 28, 2023


I did make over 143,000 my fifth month. Six or seven of those were just normal wholesale deals. But one of the other ones, so October I started, you know, started in September. So during November, I got this property and no buyers wanted it at all. And I couldn't figure out why. I mean, I got the swing for a steal. The property was worth between 150, but up to 30, probably depending on your finishes. And sure, the market in this area was super tight. So it was kind of block by block in a lot of scenarios that was really tie in. Some investors were scared of that. You know, that's why the big range 150 to 230 RV. But I was like conservatively, it's definitely worth, you know, 200.

You know, and the reason that happened and how I was able to achieve that. First and foremost, obviously, you know, God gave me the talent to To also, I believe, you know, really just for sales and marketing. And that's really what this business truly is, is sales and marketing. And God just gave me a different widget. So I'm super grateful for that. I thank God every day for what he's given me. And I ask him for more. More deals that come through our pipeline and to always give him the present glory for it all. OK. But besides that, obviously, you know, he's not going to help you if you don't help yourself. So what I did was consistent action every single day, all day, making the right moves, making the phone calls, doing what I needed to do to move the needle to get more deals, you know? They don't just fall in your lap. You got to work for it. Wholesaling is hard, but it's worth it. OK.

January 26, 2023


How I made $143,000 my 5th month in the business. 5 months! So how did I do $143,000 my 5th month of business? So I started wholesaling and my first full month was October of 2018, so I learned about it like mid September. My first closing, which I had 7 or 8 closings in October of 2018 and we made 72 grand my very first month and did the same thing November, December and January and February. So February was my 5th month. So during the month of February I actually closed on 7 or 8 deals somewhere in that ballpark. I made 143,000 a little bit over that during that particular month.

It doesn't really matter what you do. Just do something. The biggest thing is just take action so you can actually get these cheques however you get them is up to you and it doesn't really matter but just get them right, get the big cheques, get the small cheques all cheques matter.

January 21, 2023


So, whatever it is to keep you moving to keep you pushing forward, keep you thriving and striving for that next deal, that's what you should do. Every little thing that you do in this business matters, you know, because this is a simple business, you know? In theory, so even all the little things make a difference. You know, if maybe me physically getting those cheques in hand, maybe that caused me to keep going and pushing harder.

January 19, 2023


So, it's really up to you. You know I know some people that they only get cheque, some people only get direct deposit, some people don't care, they just do whatever you know, that's just up to you and like I said at the end of the day, he really cares. It doesn't matter. But at the same time doesn't matter. Maybe it does. You know, because if your if your money Motivated and you see these physical cheques in your hand and that actually motivates you to get more at the same time just clicking on your bank account to your phone app, motivate you to when it goes from 50,000 all of a sudden you close another deal now it's 65,000. I mean if that's motivating to you then go that route.

January 17, 2023


If it's direct deposit because you're scatterbrained and you need to focus more on getting on the phone sellers and all those kind of things and not be distracted by life. If you go out to actually drive to a title company to do that, then always choose direct deposit.

January 15, 2023


So, I would say, you know, at the end of the day sure it doesn't matter at all. Who cares if you get a physical cheque or you get a direct deposit? You know, it doesn't really matter what matters is at the end of the day, are you getting paid? How you get paid? It doesn't really matter actually relevant to be honest. But I did this video just because you know, whatever it takes. You know, this business is highly mindset shifting mindset changing. If it takes getting a physical cheque to keep you motivated and keep your mind right, then get a physical cheque.

January 14, 2023


So, 2020 was the year, I was like okay, I'm gonna actually get physical cheques again, so 2020 was really all about my mindset. So, I wanted those physical cheques in hand again just to see how many of those I can collect, you know what I mean? So, so I literally, every time I got a cheque, you know, I would take a picture with my phone, you know, it was motivation for me more than anything, so that's the main reason I did it.

January 12, 2023


So anyways, I was always in the mindset, you know, going to physically pick up a chick is a complete waste of time. And it's not efficient when you could have used that time, maybe on the phone, trying to talk to sellers or following up with people you've already spoken to trying to get those, those other deals, you know, in line to keep your pipeline full. So that's exactly what I did. You know, I just want money in my bank account. That's all I really want, right? And I want to keep going.

January 08, 2023


I was like after the first one. I didn't want to check anymore. I just wanted that direct deposit that wire. Okay. When you deposit a larger check, oftentimes they will put a holding period on part of that check. Okay? So, if you deposited $10,000, for example, your check might only allow you to actually act Access $2500 of that and hold the other $7500, you know, for another 15 or 20 days. You know, that's just what they do sometimes, but why they go through the verification process, you know, that's exactly the reason I ended up just going ahead and doing direct deposits after my first deal.

January 07, 2023


When I first started, I want this first check in my hand because you know, my very first deal, I wanted that proof of concept. I wanted that check in my hand just to see what that felt like, what that looked like. You know, as far as the wholesale deal goes. So, you know, the very first deal I got was I closed on October 3rd of 2018. That was my very first payday. Okay. And I made $5200 on that property and knowing what I know now I could made a lot more on that property. But you know, everybody starts somewhere and that was just how my first still rolled out. Okay. So, 5200 bucks, you know, so I was all about yes please. I want an actual check in my hand so I can see that so I can show my wife, you know, show my friends. Just prove to myself that, hey, this is real. I've got an actual check in my hand that I can prove that it's real and I want more of these. Okay, so that was my mindset at first.

January 06, 2023


What's up guys? So it's completely okay to just be honest with sellers, right? Because we can't buy every property, We pay cash for deals and we want them cheap, Right? So if somebody's asking way over retail, it's okay to be honest with them. So check out this conversation I had with the seller today.

https://youtu.be/ZNd6cBHZBkw

January 04, 2023


Should we get like when we get paid on a deal from a title company isn't important? And doesn't matter. Should we get an actual check in our hand? Or should we just have them wire the funds to us? All right, so let's just get into it.

January 03, 2023


So, we've got this lead in today from a seller supposedly. Right. They it was a PPC lead which is google. AdWords and they called in but it's actually a wholesaler. So, check out this conversation because this guy is completely clueless. But listen to the conversation.

Typically, a real buyer is happy to let you control the deal because they love what you have and they want you what you have. I'm telling you right now, you got the deal and don't let anyone ever tell you that you don't and because it's yours to control. So, keep it that way anyways, that's all I got for today. I just wanted to let you know that don't ever let a buyer bully you around, just like you wouldn't let someone bully your kid around or something like that. It's no different. you have the deal, you've got the goods and they've got what you want.

December 30, 2022


So, really, the buyer is getting the best end of the deal, that's even more so why we control the deal, and they know it because they are getting the better than the deal at the end of the day. They're the ones getting 25% equity in the property, all in that they didn't have to go search out themselves. All they have to do is find it from you, and they're the ones getting to hold that property forever and ever while someone else pays their mortgage or their, the ones, you know, flipping the property to make a quick 40, 50, 60, 100 grand on the deal, just to pay you a small fee.

December 29, 2022


All the buyer has is the money they close on it. Okay. And that is important because we need them to do this deal. But trust me, they want to the deal just as bad as you want to sell it to them because they're looking for a good deal that they can build their portfolio with or potentially make a good profit on flipping. So, at the end of the day, most of them are gonna be okay with you controlling the deal because they know it's your deal and they're just getting the best end of it really. Honestly, the buyer has the better end of this whole process. Okay.

December 28, 2022


And the biggest reason why you control the deal is because you're the one that got the deal. So, at the end of the day, you control the deal because it's your deal, you got the deal, you're the one that paid for the list, you paid for the marketing, you talk to the sellers and you ultimately got the contract with the seller. So, you got the deal. So that's exactly why you control the entire process. So, you know, you have the goods and the buyer knows it. You know, it have confidence of what you have and control that deal all the way through.

December 27, 2022


You are the one that talked to the sellers. You're buyers didn't pick up the phone and make phone calls to talk to all these sellers. You're buyers didn't send the postcards to get your phone ringing to talk to these sellers. Your buyer didn't send text messages all day to talk to these sellers. Your buyer didn't send Facebook ads out there all day to be able to get in court is back on Facebook. Your buyer didn't spend money on pay per click so they can call your company and ask about the ins and outs of what you do and the offerings that you bring. Your buyer didn't spend money on S. C. O. Or on the website to bring sellers to you. Your buyer didn't go driving for dollars to able to bring calls to you and talk to sellers. So, at the end of the day you're the one that talked to all the sellers. That's why you control the deal.

December 26, 2022


Buyers don't do marketing. Some of them do don't get me wrong. Ultimately, we're trying to wholesale those deals. And, you know, we're the ones taking the risk and spending thousands and thousands of dollars every month on the marketing. So, a deal cost us a lot of money just to get the deal right. So that's why we control the deal. But at the end of the day, you control the deal. Because a lot of times, also when you're new buyers will try to say, well, I've got my own assignment contract or I've got my title company or all these different things. They want to say this and this and this. I want this. I want that. Just say no, here's what we do. Here's what we have here is how we operate. If you can meet all this criteria, then great. We can do business together. If they can't go to the next buyer, that will okay.

December 25, 2022


Get good at getting real contracts that are really good deals, and the buyers will flock to you because you have the goods you have, what they need and what they want. Okay, so you always control the deal and here's exactly why. Okay. So, you right there, you control the deal 100% of the time because you paid for the list, right?

December 24, 2022


So, my main acquisition manager is on vacation this week, so I'm actually covering the phones for her. We just got a cold call lead and I called them back and we agreed to a price. And I got a cow, a cow in my businesses contract on the way. So, I just got a deal.

December 22, 2022


The whole cellar always controls the deal. So, what does that really mean? That means, you know, you set your pricing, you kind of get estimate the repairs. You basically set the price that you wouldn't make. You're the one that contacted the seller and ultimately are trying to help them. Okay. And you're the one with the goods. You have the deal, what all buyers want if it's actually a deal. So that's the key. Get good at getting actual deals, not just contracts, you know, because at the end of the day, a contract does nothing for it if you can't close on it.

December 21, 2022


How you control the deal? Oftentimes, new whole sellers kinda get bullied by buyers or, you know, they let buyers kinda just lead the way and kind of, tell them what to do. But I wanna tell you right now that you control the deal 100%. And the reason I say that is because, you know, you're the one that put the hustle in and did all the work to get the deal. So the buyer at the end of the day, sure, they're the ones with the money and closing on the property to where you actually make a profit and ultimately help the seller. But at the same time, the buyer oftentimes has nothing without you.

December 20, 2022


If you have a list of 100,000 in a particular area, keep that 100,000, they're still motivated 2345 years from now. Sure, some of them fell off because they sold some of them fell off because maybe they died or their circumstances change and they got out of the mess they were in. And sure, other people have probably added to those lists. So, you just refresh your list is what you do, you don't buy new list. So that's really what the message is about today. Scam alert as far as buying new lists all the time. And also making sure you buy it straight from the people that actually compile the data and then you should be good to go after that. So, keep your list, they're still valuable. The people on there are still motivated. That didn't change. So why would you change your list? Just add to it? Refresh it, refine it and you'll be good and save a ton of money in the meantime.

December 19, 2022


There's data providers out there and there's list providers. So, I would just cautious. Be cautious of the list providers ask the right questions and a lot of questions to make sure that, you know, the data is legit, to make sure it's up to date, make sure that 100 other people didn't order that same, you know what I mean? Because you don't want to be the 20th one to get that, you know, 12 months after they first bought it. Because then what real good is it? But no matter what, whenever you do have finally the data that you're looking for and the list that you need, there's no reason to buy new list.

December 18, 2022


List providers can give you some old list because obviously they're not going to go buy a new list from the data provider because they've already bought this list. So why would they just give you a new list when they've already paid for this list that they can get paid for paid on over and over and over? So, if that makes sense a lot of times. Yes, it may be good data but it could be old outdated because you know, how often do they refresh their list? Do they buy new data once a year? Do they buy every month? You know all those things are important so it's good to know those things and if you don't know.

December 17, 2022


Yes, you need fresh data sometimes because you just want to add to the new people that that have, you know, started, you know, maybe there's a new divorce going on. Obviously, you want to add to those or now they're tax delinquent. They never were before, but at the same time, you know, if they were tax delinquent in the past or probably tax delinquent now that list is still good. you know, probate obviously is one list that you might want to buy every several months or whatever because those are always knew right.

December 16, 2022


So, when I say scam alert, beware, you know, because you don't need to buy new lists all the time and that's what a lot of people are teaching because yeah, it makes sense. So, you gotta have new data, but you know, it's just like what just think about this, what all of a sudden makes a seller not motivated anymore. So why would you throw away your old list and get a new one? What happened to those sellers? They're not motivated all of a sudden, like they don't figure criteria anymore. You know, it doesn't really make sense to me.

December 15, 2022


If you have motivated list motivated potential motivated sellers, um that list will never change, technically it could grow and change a little. Some of them will fall off because they sold or their situation's different and others will be added because they see what they have that situation now. They didn't before. It's really, you're just kinda adding to the other ones and you know, you're filtering out the ones you already have because I don't wanna double pay for those and then you're just adding the new ones to those specific lists and that's really it. So, what I'm saying is typically that's why one list can last you for a long time.

December 14, 2022


If you had different types of lists, divorce, evictions, equity, tired landlords probate tax delinquent, you know, all these different things. If you have every list out there and you've got about 100,000 names on that list, then there's probably not a ton more that you can get. So, people always, you know, some of the gurus say, well, you know, you need new list, you know, fresh, fresh data and all that stuff, which yes, there's some truth to that, but at the same time, you're still pursuing these same 100,000 people is the, is the bottom line. So, you don't need to go by and 100,000 new records because there's not 100,000 to buy, first of all.

December 13, 2022


You know, you do need some good solid lists, but at the same time, you know, if you're certain focusing on a certain area, certain specific geographic area, there's only there's only so many people that you can reach and that you're actually looking for. So, you know, if there's a million people in your community, for example, and we're looking for like the 1% or so, you know, I mean, there's not a ton of people out there or you know, maybe you can kind of get more lenient As far as just going after equity only and all those kind of things. But even so we're typically looking for maybe 1% of the population that would even, you know, qualify as a house that we would even try to pursue if that makes sense.

December 12, 2022


So, I would always say just be cautious. You know, I'm still using some of the same lists from 2018 and I still get deals from them. So, so the deal is, you know, if they're gurus out there pushing a certain list company or ski. tracing or any of those kind of things, you know, sometimes they have ulterior motives and it's because maybe they're getting a spiff or they've got some type of deal where that you get a discount code. You know, if there's a discount code, obviously they're getting a kickback, which is fine. I'm not saying any of that's wrong. I'm just saying, you know, it's not always in your best interest just to listen to a guru.

December 11, 2022


Beware of the list, you know, there's a lot of people out there selling lists and there's a lot of list providers, but there's very few actual data providers, you know, there's a big difference, so why I say scam, you know, just be careful when you're, when you're buying list to buy them from the right people, first of all, but also not just that is you don't need a list every month or every couple of months, like a lot of the gurus kind of try to teach you or list providers want to make you believe. You know, it's just not true.

December 09, 2022


Just that alone, if you can just get another deal or two just by working on your confidence and honing your skills in, then that's worth it in itself. So, you know, wholesaling is definitely not easy. It's a simple process and simple, you know, as far as, you know, the logistics goes a lot of times, but it's definitely not easy because there are a lot of moving pieces to it. There are a lot of different skills that you have to have, I believe, and to be successful wholesaler, but at the end of the day, if you're a hustler, you're a go getter and you're willing to work on yourself, then you're gonna, you're gonna kill it in wholesaling or whatever you do in life. Typically, if you're successful in one area, you're gonna be successful in this area too.

December 08, 2022


Yes, confidence is everything in this business in life and sales pretty much in everything that you do, because people can feel your body language, whether they see face to face or whether they're listening to you over the phone, they can feel if you're confident in what you're saying, if you really know what you're talking about, if they can trust you and believe you, and to have that reassurance and what you're telling them, so, so really, if you're not good at talking on the phone, especially in virtual wholesaling you have to hone in your skills, and the only way to do that is by practicing.

December 07, 2022


But we don't want to pay for it either because we don't even know what the deal is gonna go through yet. So, what you gotta do is talk a probate or quiet title attorney in. You gotta talk them into getting paid at closing so they have to have confidence in you that yeah, this is a legit deal. We're solid with the seller. We're gonna have a buyer or we're gonna buy it ourselves no matter what you're gonna get paid, you have to give them that reassurance because they're not gonna work for free. But there's definitely a lot of them are willing to get paid at closing.
