We are going to talk today about how to monetize your dead leads. That\u2019s a topic that hairdressers, electricians, OR real estate marketers would love.
We send a lot of mail and make a lot of calls every week, trying to turn up properties to buy. Despite our best efforts, hundreds of warm leads don\u2019t result in actual purchases. Until now we would just move along, but as of today, we know we can still monetize those leads.\xa0

News and Resources:\xa0 Mindset Moment:\xa0 Questions from Listeners:\xa0 - Roy, Baltimore, MD, \u201cMy partner and I have been offered six row houses - the entire block for $5,000. They are all vacant and need a lot of work, and I know there are a lot of vacant homes around. But if we controlled the entire block, it seems like we shouldn\u2019t pass it up. Our plan would be to fix them and rent them out until the neighborhood comes back, then sell. Your thoughts?\u201d
- Gary, Harrisburg, PA, \u201cI was driving to Philly the other day and was surfing radio stations until I came across your show. Interesting stuff. I\u2019ve been thinking about buying some rentals for side income. Can you give me some pointers on how to find something good in Harrisburg?
- Jackie, Villages of Ocala, \u201cMy husband and I own 25 rental properties back in Michigan where we are from. We are thinking of selling them and using the money to buy similar inventory here in Florida. There\u2019s no income tax here and we think we would do better. But although we live here now, we are new here and not that familiar with property in Florida. It\u2019s hard to give up something that works for something that might work a little better. We\u2019d like you to weigh in.\u201d
- Lupe, Boulder, CO, \u201cI heard you mention that you love working with Realtors. Please explain why. It seems like they get paid a lot for doing nothing. I mean, it\u2019s not that hard to list a property.\u201d
- Bernita, Macon, GA, \u201cIs there any way to tell whether or not you need a new roof without getting up on it? I don\u2019t want to climb on a roof.\u201d
- Michelle, Las Vegas. I have an opportunity to buy a house that needs serious updating. I plan to move in and make repairs as I go. Can you recommend a hard money lender out here in Vegas? The house is selling for $265,000, but it would be worth nearly $600,000 when I get all the work done. It will take about $120k to do everything I want to do, but I also plan to live here several years. I make good money and could qualify for a loan up to about 400,000, but the lender I spoke with won\u2019t loan money to make the repairs.\xa0
My answer: Dodd-Frank prohibits HM lenders. Conforming lenders are limited when repairs are needed. FHA requires finished floors, for example.\xa0\xa0
FHA 203k Loan
Go conventional, make repairs as you can with cash.\xa0
OR get a HELOC and make repairs.\xa0
- Clay, Atlanta, I sold a business and have some cash. A local investor wants me to partner with him by putting up some cash for a downpayment on one of the properties he wants to buy. He\u2019s done a few hundred flips and I\u2019ve known him awhile. I trust him but I still want to make sure I\u2019m protected. What should I do?
