Real Estate Investing – Are You Ready To Finally Start Making Money With Real Estate?

Did you know that most people who study real estate, take expensive workshops and buy all sorts of “how to invest in real estate” products never even buy a single property. That’s just not right, and that’s why Real Estate Profit Coach was created. Rather than teach you what we know, we show you how to do what we actually do! Oh, and that brings up another great point. If you want to learn about real estate investing, doesn’t it make sense to learn from people who are doing it themselves, in their own business?

One of the most popular blog writers on the Internet is Jeremy Shoemaker. He writes a wildly popular blog online about money and has tens of thousands of readers. He’s probably most famous for having received a check from Google for over $130,000 for one month’s advertising revenue from Google’s advertising program called AdSense.

He’s sharing many of the secrets that he uses right now to get traffic and make money from his passion and writing. They are in a series of free videos that he’s releasing to promote his marketing system. To me, it’s always interesting to see what other successful people are doing, and better still when you can sneak a peak for free.

Real Estate Investing – Las Vegas Real Estate Buying Tour – Wrap

Lorena Gerlach here in Las Vegas with the Real Estate Profit Coach gang: Bob Leonetti, Jayme Kahla, Roland Frasier, Scott Carson and Jason Schubert to purchase properties for our own portfolio and wholesale a few deals to pay for our trip.

We are joined by our 10 residential inner circle students who will be working with us on these deals: Brent Tyler, Ilene Durbin, Jackee and Ron Benson, Rosemary and Ray Miller, Sandra and Bill Graves, Jeremy Streeter and David Meier.

Real Estate Marketing – E-mail Marketing

Our Meetup email blast did not result in much activity so we decided to divide and conquer using other techniques. It’s important to have multiple tools in your tool kit!

Real Estate Marketing – Craigslist, Newspaper Marketing

Part of the team continued working on live leads for wholesale opportunities or subject to deals. One of our team members is fluent in Spanish. I had her post Craigslist ads in both English and Spanish for properties to buy and soliciting buyers.

I had another team member get a local newspaper and call on FSBO ads in the classifieds. I’m happy to report that we were successful in all our methods this time around!

Our efforts resulted in meetings with two homeowners. We had three offers for each homeowner: a cash offer, an owner financing offer, and the last resort was to option the property to see if we could match it up with one of our buyers.

One homeowner in particular was memorable. We nicknamed her Vegas Rose.

Vegas Rose is 74 years old, and her husband is 86. They’ve moved to a new home and have been trying to sell their previous home for 2 years. It’s a half hour drive one way for them to show the house.

The husband is resistant to sell for anything except full retail and the home isn’t retail worthy. She is tired of dealing with the problem and is anxious to work with us.

We developed rapport with Vegas Rose and believe she’ll work on her husband to get the deal done. We would love to help the couple out, and add the home to our portfolio, even if it means follow up after we leave Vegas.

Real Estate Marketing – The Power of Flapping Your Lips!

We decided to call Pizza Hut to have lunch delivered to the hotel. I called the order in, and spoke with a wise cracking order taker. After a bit of back and forth, I asked him if he wanted to come work with us in real estate.

He asked if we were looking for homes, and he could have someone contact us. The Pizza Hut contact turned out to be one of the largest REO listing agents in Las Vegas!

Always be selling! Have that elevator speech ready and available. You never know where a lead will come from.

We had a great meeting with the REO agent and team in his office, and they are willing to provide pocket listings before they hit MLS. Booyah baby!

Real Estate Investing Results

All three teams rejoined, and my room at the Golden Nugget became a hub of activity. My team’s activities resulted in a SubTo and potential buyers.

Inner circle student and Nevada real estate agent Brent Tyler began writing offers on short sales and REO properties identified by Coach Scott Carson’s team.

Coach Jason Schubert’s team had multiple SubTo’s opportunities, and took the lead on all SubTo’s to close.

Real Estate Investing - Jason Schubert Things About Deals

Our time in Las Vegas resulted in 62 identified properties which include 10 SubTo’s and a combination of REOs and short sales.

We have a lot of follow up work that will be coordinated between Scott, Jason, Brent and myself for several weeks as we work through offers, counter-offers and hopefully several closed deals!

Real Estate Investor Training – Las Vegas Real Estate Investing Buying Tour – Part 1

Real Estate Investing - Strategy Meeting

Lorena Gerlach here in Las Vegas with the Real Estate Profit Coach gang: Bob Leonetti, Jayme Kahla, Roland Frasier, Scott Carson and Jason Schubert to purchase properties for our own portfolio and wholesale a few deals to pay for our trip.

We are joined by our 10 residential inner circle students who will be working with us on these deals: Brent Tyler, Ilene Durbin, Jackee and Ron Benson, Rosemary and Ray Miller, Sandra and Bill Graves, Jeremy Streeter and David Meier.

Getting Started

We joined up with our students, received a pep talk from Bob and divided us into groups selected by each coach drawing names from a hat. Seriously!

With our teams in place, we split up to starting working on our task: finding homes to control, finding end buyers to sell homes to and to raise private money for homes we would control.

My group consisted of Ilene Durbin, Rosemary Miller, Sandra Graves and Ron Benson. We set up base camp in my room at the Golden Nugget. Ron drove from California, and had his printer to donate to the cause.

My innovative team members acquired a room service table and an additional chair to make the room more functional.

Real Estate Investing – Investors At Work

Real Estate Investing Goal Setting

We reviewed our goals and I showed the team how to quickly reach out and touch hundreds of investors to get our message out.

The first step was to join the local Meetup groups. Meetup.com is an online social network that has clubs on specific topics of interest. Check out my blog on how to utilize Meetup.

Real Estate Investing Meetup.com

I joined 8 Las Vegas Real Estate and Investing Meetup groups and contacted over 350 local area investors in approximately 20 minutes using this marketing technique. Now that’s what I call leverage!

Real Estate Investing Marketing

I knew Scott and Jason would immediately start posting their Craigslist ads, so my team took a different approach.

Some of us logged onto Craigslist and began calling on FSBOs in the real estate for sale section.

Some of us called on the warm leads from distressed homeowner generated by my assistant prior to our trip. I gave all team members a property information sheet to keep the lead information organized.

Real Estate Investing Property Information Sheet

All this activity resulted in several strong leads including an investor with three properties to sell and a very colorful seller we nicknamed Vegas Rose, but that’s a story for another time!
