When I was working in the print industry, life was tough.
I had a lot of ideas and a bigger vision for myself and my future than working for “the man” the rest of my life.
In 1993, I got started buying properties and I quickly realized that there were a lot of tasks involved in the process of buying and selling real estate. I was wearing many hats within my business and I didn’t have as much time for my family as I wanted.
So for the longest time I kept my eyes peeled for ways to automate my business and after searching through many different platforms and possible solutions I never found anything that was suitable.
So I decided to create my own system
I hired some programmers and we locked ourselves in the conference room and masterminded our plan. After hundreds of hours of deliberation and sweat, iFlip was born.
Now, I get motivated seller leads on auto-pilot, cash buyers joining my buyers list, and Bird Dogs getting trained while I sleep.
I am grateful for this opportunity and I want you to know how you too can have your time back without sacrificing any income…
In fact, you can make MORE money, in LESS time.
Ahh… the power of technology!
Here is how it works…
First, you have to have iFlip. If you don’t, you can get a 14-day trial for only $1.95 by clicking here. However, even if you don’t have iFlip, you can still benefit from this article.
Step 1 – Build Your Buyers List
The number 1 fear that I have identified for new wholesalers is the fear that you cannot sell the deal once you get a contract from the seller.
As you may have heard… a good acronym for FEAR is “false expectations appearing real”.
That is exactly what the fear of selling the deal is… a false belief.
The truth is… when you get a smokin deal, it is easy to sell.
Put yourself in the buyers shoes…
You have a wad of cash that you are trying to invest. You have chosen to fix & flip properties for a living. So you are on the hunt for bargain priced properties. You call all the Realtors in the area, you send out mail campaigns, you drive for dollars, you attend networking events, and you even make cold calls….
Where is there any time to manage your rehab projects in that equation?
There is none… so fix & flip investors rely on others like you, the wholesaler, to bring them deals.
There are likely dozens of professional fix & flip investors in your area. All you have to do is find them and if you have a truly great deal, they will thank you for providing it.
But since you have to find them before you can contact them with your deal, I recommend getting that process started first.
With iFlip, you get a buyer’s website. This site is geared to attract motivated buyers. It is a 1 page website that gives the visitor only 2 choices… to join your email list to hear about your future deals… or to leave.
Once your buyer site is setup, all that is left to do is put ads on Craigslist, in the newspaper, or any other guerilla marketing technique you like.
Step 2 – Attract Motivated Sellers
Since your buyers list is being built on auto-pilot, you actually have time to find motivated sellers.
If you are on a budget, I recommend starting by “driving for dollars”. This is where you pick a hot neighborhood in your area and look for junker houses.
You will run into sellers from time to time, but more likely, you will run into their neighbors. Let them know that you are in the “neighborhood beautification business” and they will quickly become your ally.
This old, vacant, junker house is an eye sore and they tend to be happy to give you the seller’s contact info since you represent a good chance to get the house back in shape… bringing the value of their home up.
If you have more of a budget, you can automate lead generation…
Place ads in the newspaper, on Google, on Facebook…
Place billboards, road signs, bus benches…
Send letters, postcards, and flyers.
Let everyone know that you are in the business of buying houses. Point them to your iFlip seller site, and they can optin for a free report.
Using iFlip, you can send them automated email messages so that you stay top of mind when they are ready to sell.
Now your primary job becomes getting more qualified people to your seller website.
Step 3 – Scale Up with Bird Dogs
Now that you have buyers and sellers being attracted to your business, practically on auto-pilot, you can scale up.
Maybe you have done a deal by now and you have a few thousand bucks you can spend on lead generation (that is the real key to success… getting good at marketing and advertising).
In my 2 decades of buying and selling houses, utilizing bird dogs in my business has been the biggest game changer.
I have spent millions testing things and of all the ads and marketing strategies I have tried, bird dogs are the single greatest, most efficient method of attracting motivated sellers while spending the least amount of money and time.
There are LOTS of people in any given market who are looking for extra income.
And some of them are looking to learn how to invest in Real Estate.
Regardless of why they are motivated, they ARE.
They are motivated to help you and your business.
All you have to do is pay $10 (or whatever is fair) in your market every time they find a vacant junker that matches your criteria.
And what’s even better?
It is all automated!
I’ve taken the exact training system I use to train my bird dogs and included it in iFlip.
All you do is place an ad in Craigslist under the “Gigs” section and point them to your Bird Dog site (included with iFlip), and if interested, they put their email in and instantly receive a complete training.
The training is comprehensive and tells them everything that they need to know to find you good deals.
You can edit this training email however you would like, but the way it exists is proven to work and is responsible for tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of motivated seller leads.
So, I have a question for you…
Would you like to automate your business?
If so, iFlip is your new best friend.
And for only $1.95, you can test it out for yourself.
You will see how easy it is to build the websites, place the ads, generate motivated seller and buyer leads, attract bird dogs into your business, and ultimately make your life much easier.
We are running a special promo right now where you can test drive iFlip for only $1.95 for 14 days. Click here for more information.
I wish you all the best and I hope to help you cross the finish line of success!
