Randy interviews Micah Johnson of 8020 REI about the current Indianapolis real estate market. Micah and 8020 REI specialize in helping real estate entrepreneurs close more deals without spending more money. Micah helps teach proven strategies of how to maximize your return on investment. One aspect of increasing ROI has to do with follow up. Many real estate entrepreneurs struggle with doing follow up well.

Micah makes clear that there are good deals out there if you know how to get them. It's not just about the number of leads, but focusing on the right leads is more important. And above all, the most important thing to remember when trying to do a deal is "It's the People, not the Place."

If you're trying to find more deals in Indianapolis, focus first on the people in their complicated situations, and learn how to solve their issues. The place is really very secondary. When you do that, you'll understand how to follow-up much more easily.
