You all know that BatchLeads is a huge part of my wholesale operation, and I use it in all markets I am in. I use BatchLeads as the hub of all my records and it makes my day-to-day activities a lot simpler and more manageable. That is why I am excited to feature the co-founder of BatchLeads, Jesse Burrell. We will talk about why they decided to create BatchLeads and the new features they recently added.

There are a lot of software companies out there that don’t understand what real estate investors do, and it is a huge problem. The co-founders of Batchleads has a background in real estate investing, and I believe that having that background helps them come up with the products that we,  as real estate investors, need.

Many of you have been asking about how I see the current state of the real estate market. When the economy starts to dip, our jobs or income can be put in jeopardy. Despite all that, I 100% believe that now is the time to start your real estate business! 

There will be a lot fewer properties that go above the asking price. So, there’s no better time to make offers and close deals than now.

It’s been 7 days since we started a new business in a brand new market, and I am excited to share the results of the strategies we set up, and the marketing we put in place 7 days ago! We had a new mail piece and it's a “Game Changer”! Believe it or not, we got our first contract signed yesterday! It’s insane! This proves that direct mail isn’t dead. So, we got it locked up, and my team is currently trying to move it. This response rate is one of the best I’ve personally seen.

We have talked a lot about where you are now, where you wanna be, and how are you gonna get there. That is what this is about! I’m going to show you how I did it, so you can be confident that you can do it, too, and you can change your life! Applying yourself is where it’s at, it’s having the right mindset to go and dominate in your own market and that’s where it comes down to. Do you believe that you can do that? But, if you really want this, you gotta have that burning desire, you gotta want this so bad, for this to happen! And I’m here to help you.

I just got back from a whirlwind couple of weeks of travel and I'm tired but inspired. When 
you have your business set up as I do, you can take advantage of that, and work from 
anywhere you want. That allows me to get creative with what I do. I recently decided to take
on a few clients to help them set up their real estate business, but the catch was, I would 
actually fly out to them and do it in person. I did this for a couple of reasons. I believe being 
able to learn firsthand from someone with experience is powerful, but also it was an 
excuse for me to do some traveling and networking.

You heard it right! I will fly out to your house and the first thing we will do is to figure out 
what your goals are, what you want to achieve, and how you want the business to 
look like. Then the market research where we find out if you are in the right market and 
what kind of offers are you going to focus on. And the most important thing, we’ll come up 
with an exit strategy.  How to work “on” the business not “in” the business

As the market shifts and times keep changing, we’re now starting to see it in our own businesses, especially with institutional buyers starting to back out of deals. Because of all these changes going on, we wanted to give you the top seven steps you’ll need as an active real estate investor to not only stay afloat during these times but to prosper. These seven steps can apply to anyone from wholesalers to vacant land investors as we make our way through this latest economic cycle.

The first step is to find buyers, figure out what they want, and provide them with a solution. Next, start thinking about lowering your offers. Leverage creative financing techniques like lease options and put them to work in your deals. Know your numbers and your expenses inside and out so you have a clear picture of your business. Offer incentives to your buyers that your competition isn’t offering. Get to know your local banks, as they’ll be lending when some of the other investors won’t be. Focus on the right neighborhoods where there will always be demand for housing. Finally, if you’re looking for more support on how to profit during these times, get in touch with a trusted mentor or coach.

What’s Inside:

• How the market shifts are affecting our businesses.
• The top seven steps you need to focus on to survive our current market crisis.
• Why you need to understand and utilize creative financing deals.

For those just starting out, it is totally possible for you to make $10K in 10 hours per week. No matter what might be happening in the stock market, tried and true marketing strategies like direct mail and cold calling will always work.

The name of the game is knowing how to follow the demand. Whether it’s wholesaling homes or vacant land deals, there are huge opportunities right now if you know where to look. For those of you that are new, you can start right now by reading up on fast cash strategies and getting familiar with creative financing. Coaching programs and masterminds along with listening to podcasts are all ways to learn from successful investors.
