Making a Video on a Wholesale Deal

This week was a whole different game…  I honestly have never made a video for a wholesale deal, but after having dinner with my buddy Darren Dicke, I realized that I am missing out on a bunch of potential buyers.  My best friend Justin and I decided to try to wholesale a duplex ( AWESOME DEAL) and decided to try to make a video out of it… well so far all I can say is SUCCESS!   We got a ton of views, and have had a bunch of groups check out the property. 

From now on I am defintely going to be using video to push my properties.  it is amazing how many people are going towards video!!!  Kind of shows you where technology is going. If you are trying to sell properties but dont have videos, YOU HAVE TO START!!!!!  Videos are the way of the future (NOW), and if you arent showing your properties over video you are falling behind.  My buddy Darren Dicke (The Columbus Wholesaler) has been doing videos for years and has become one of the best in the U.S. at selling wholesale deals…

We all need to pick this up and start taking advantage of this easy technology.

Check out our simple video (which worked!)…. http://mynextrehab.com/columbus-real-estate-investment-cash-flow-machine-easy-double-video.html?PID=611

Please give me tips on video!  I love this game and want to learn how to do it right!

4 Real Estate Investors You Need to Follow…

 

For the past few years I have spent hours reading about what each real estate investor / guru is doing with their business. I have joined almost every email list and read 75% of the blogs out there. At first I was really digging a lot of the big guys, but after spending months following them and their emails I have learned that they are nothing more than boring salesmen.

I think this is a big trend with investors… they find their niche in the business, get a following and then convince that following to start buying …. EVERYTHING! It seems like eventually most of them forget about real estate investing once they reach this point.

In these times where the market changes every 7 minutes I think it is important for us real estate investors to not be tricked by people who are no longer in the game facing the same challenges that we are facing.

There are 4 main investors / groups that I think you need to follow to keep up with what is going on out there.

  • Preston Ely – His wholesaling and probates systems are probably the best deals out there. Not to mention his emails are very funny and educational.
  • Ron LeGrand – The God Father of it all…. When you study almost any of today’s big guru’s you will find pieces of Ron Legrand’s teachings. He is able to keep his stuff fresh (and also has a great sense of humor). Most of his emails are now sent out by someone else, but the content is still in line with his teaching
  • Darren Dicke – Darren is a wholesaler out of Columbus Ohio, but his use of technology and ability to use the web to make deals happen has put him on this list. As an investor there is a lot to learn from Darren and the way he runs his business
  • Colin Egbert – I think Colin is more of a sales guy now, but I think that his site, RealEstateInvestor.com , is a site that everyone should be a part of to keep up with what is going on out there. Colin, along with Sam Bell, do a great job of showing how applying Web 2.0 to your business can help tremendously

I feel better having shared that list. If I had written this back in July the list would have been a little different. There would have been 7 investors to follow, but watching some of them fall into the “sales trap” I decided it’s better to keep you on the right path.
