I’m Pretending to be a Newbie December 15th, 2011

There are 5 Elements to any successful business, whether it be a real estate investor, or something as large as Wal-Mart.  I am a firm believer in the process. Do you know the 5 steps?

Step #1: Locate Prospects
Step #2: Pre-Screen Prospects
Step #3: Construct and Present Offer
Step #4: Follow Up
Step #5: Close Quickly

If you ever find that you’re not busy enough, not making enough money, or your business isn’t growing at the speed the thou desire, then you must always step back and take a look at Step #1.  You’re going to find that something is going wrong there.

learn how to flip a houseOver the next few weeks, I’m going to go through the entire 5 Elements with you.  You’re going to see, hear, and understand the process of flipping a wholesale deal, starting with Step #1 all the way to Step #5.  There aren’t any steps that I’m going to leave out, because they’re all necessary for your business to be a success.

So if you’re a newbie, and you’re always wondering what the first step is.  You think to yourself “What is the first thing that I should do to get this wholesaling business off the ground”?  You’re about to find out!!  If you follow along with me, little mobsters,  you should be flipping a house around the same time that I am.

My dumb butt just realized that when I made a post on this website, that it wasn’t being published on other social networking sites. So I’ve added some really awesome plugging to the WordPress Dashboard here, so that the posts will now go to Twitter, Facebook, Email Subscribers (Mini Mobsters) and RSS Feeds Everywhere!!

Maybe you know this, maybe you don’t, but in late September 2011, I opened my own Realtor-Brokerage office, Caywood Realty.  Huh? You mean I talk all that shit about Realtors, and I’m one myself? Yes! and Yes!  Because I understand the real estate investor model, I’m not like most Realtors. In fact, I’m not like any other Realtor I know.  I know that an investor and a Realtor has 2 different business models. One has a Professional Association to answer to and one doesn’t. (Can u guess which one).

Anyway, you do have to wear different hats if you’re a Realtor and an investor, and you also need to know which role to play in each scenario. But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because I just realized, after looking through my CRM, that I haven’t flipped a house since August 2011. WTF? I’ve been so wrapped up in trying to get this Caywood Realty business off the ground, that I haven’t done any marketing, any prospecting, any blog entries on the “sell your house” website, NOTHING. And in return, I’ve not flipped a house or made any money from a wholesale deal. I’m getting withdrawals a little bit.

This ain’t cool bro.

The most money is definitely made as a real estate investor.  So I’m gonna put on my bots and saddle up my horse.  It’s time to flip a flippin’ house.  This Realtor shit can wait a minute.  I’ve got some money to make.

First thing in order: a blog entry.  Second: Bandit Signs.

When you quit generating leads, it’s like starting all over again. So I’m going to pretend like I’m a newbie and start from Square 1 and go through the 5 Elements of a Successful Business. Starting with Step 1: Locate Prospects.  If you want to keep up with this process, and see what it’s like to start from square one, even though I’ve been wholesaling houses for 13 years, then subscribe to the newsletter to get updates. You’ll actually learn something by watching.

I know it’s a concern of some people, so I had to address it.  Do you have a cash buyer, or more than one cash buyer, but are afraid of a Realtor stealing your buyer?  Wow. As a mobster, that’s a fail.  It’s called scarcity mentality. Watch the video to find out what you need to do if you have this fear.
