I haven’t Flipped a House Since August! Whaaaa?? December 14th, 2011

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.
