Why All Investors need an Assistant

March 8, 2018   Fast Loan

Would you like more time, better performance, more success, less responsibility? These are just a few of the reasons to hire an assistant. I want to quickly show you how to easily identify items you can delegate to an assistant. I will let you be the judge on how helpful it will be to hire an assistant.

Let’s do a quick exercise. Compose the following 2 lists:

List all of the tasks you do for your real estate biz and how much time that takes
List all tasks that would help improve your biz and how much time they will take

Example Tasks: Total 40 hours
Write 5 blog entries – 3 hours
Maintain participation in forums, social media – 5 hours
Send out newsletter – 4 hours
Answer my emails and phone calls – 10 hours
Market to find 25 prospects and evaluate – 10 hours
Write 5 offers – 5 hours
Face to face meetings – 3 hours

Tasks to improve my biz:
Market to find and evaluate 25 more deals per week – 10 hours
Write 5 more offers per week – 5 hours
Network, social media, buyers lists, private money generation, build relationships – 10 hours

Now I would like you to look at these lists and ask yourself, “Could someone else help me with these tasks?” “Do I HAVE to do this?” I look at the example lists above and realize that all of them can be delegated to some degree. Some I need to make the final say, but that would only require about 20% of the allotted time to each task.

The key is to define a system and delegate every process and task in that system that you do not absolutely positively HAVE to be you. Of course I want to make the final decision on whether to write an offer. But I can delegate as much of the marketing and evaluation as possible so I can quickly be presented with the all the information and make a quick decision. An assistant can easily maintain social media, email and phone calls. Anything an assistant cannot handle is passed on to me/you.

After a few months, you can really improve these systems and delegate many tasks to an assistant. It is amazing how much time can be saved, business can grow, performance improves, etc. I highly recommend getting an assistant, even Virtual Assistants are a great resource in your success.

The Key to Real Estate Success and 5 tips on how to implement in your business

February 22, 2018   Fast Loan

During the boom, investors made profits with all sorts of strategies, even with little knowledge and many mistakes. Those investors may have experienced a rough couple years and may have given up. Here I will discuss the key to break thru and succeed whether a beginner or in a rut.

Are you learning and reading everything you can about real estate? Have you educated yourself on 20 different strategies and you now know how to do all sorts of creative real estate deals? That knowledge will certainly not hurt, but let’s focus on one thing that will be the key to consistent long term success in good times and bad. Find Motivated Sellers!

Not just find motivated sellers, find a ton of them. Have them beating down your door begging you to buy there homes and get to the point where you don’t need to do a deal with them even if it is a great deal. I see it all the time, beginners or those in a rut have only a few deals they are looking at and the take the best one when it isn’t even a good deal. They need the deal to continue to eat, but this often ends in disaster.

Now, you are probably agreeing with me that success will be achieved by having tons of motivated sellers flooding your pipeline consistently whether you are there or not. But how do you do this? Here are some tips to have a consistent flow of motivated sellers coming to you.

1. Direct Mail – While you can find deals door knocking and scouring listings, websites, and newspapers this could be very time consuming. Send out direct mail to motivated lists such as foreclosure, out of state owners, expired listings, divorce, probate, etc.
2. Learn Direct Response Marketing – educate yourself on direct response marketing and have motivated sellers responding by contacting you.
3. Automate – create a system and delegate your direct mail campaign so it happens whether you are there or not.
4. Filter – create a system to weed out the duds and only evaluate the prospects that could meet your criteria.
5. Pass – it ends up a numbers game, get enough deals and some will be worthy of doing. If you are not getting enough deals, pass and improve your direct mail and marketing strategy.
