Another thing you can do within you targeted area is go door to door and pass out your marketing information whether it be a flyer or a business card. Now if you are doing a business card make sure that it is a marketing message in the shape and size of a business card. Don’t just do a standard business card with your name and a title and a phone number but actually have a marketing message in there. Go out and meet people, talk to them, see them face to face. What are you going to tell them? Say "If you know of anyone that is interested in selling their house please have them give me a call." The other thing you are doing is learning from those people. Learning what’s selling and what’s not selling. What other people are looking for. What do you know about the crime in the area? Who’s buying, who’s not buying? They may say no I don’t want to sell my house right now, but you know Suzy down the block is just going through a divorce and she was just saying the other day that she has to get rid of this house.

I had a student one time whom was busy. He had a regular full time job and his son was playing college ball. He was traveling city to city watching his son play football and said "you know I really just didn’t have time to get my marketing going and do anything." All he did was take his business card and put that on the gas pumps every time he would pump gas. He got a deal from it. Now am I saying this is your best marketing tool? No. You see what happened even though he wasn’t doing a lot he was at least taking some action and that action was rewarded with a deal. Let’s say if you make a minimum of the $10,000 on a deal was it worth it to you to pass out the business cards at the gas pumps to do one deal and make $10,000. I got to believe the answer is yes. Would that have happened for him if he said "oh well I am going to take these three months off"? No. You’ve got to do something.

8. Be sure you have a web presence. Get a website on the internet. You know this is a new day and age and everybody is going to the internet. If you don’t know how to get a domain, just go to godaddy.com and buy one. It’s $10 or less to get a website address. I have hundreds of website addresses.

9. This is the quick easy way to start making money. So many people tell me they don’t have the money to start marketing. Just $500-$1,000 a month will get your marketing going. You can quickly make that amount of money by selling information products that other investors can use. By using the internet, you can sell those products to the list of wholesale buyer’s list that you built. Everything ties together and makes a circle of money. It does not have to be your information products. You can become an affiliate and sell other people’s products. What a great way to start having cash flow coming in on a regular basis. Use that to fund some marketing for your real estate. Then you will start doing a deal, two deals every month. Then we are talking about 10, 20, and 30,000 dollars coming in each and every month. It’s doing the little things that all of a sudden build up and make big things. Don’t go for that home run, but continually hit singles.

10. Line up you financing. If you found a deal what would you do with it? You are either going to wholesale it or you also might want to buy it yourself. Do you have the financing set up? You can buy it by dollar financing. You can also go out and get hard money loans. Have you worked with any hard money lenders in your area? Have you gotten preapproved for that? Take those steps so that you will be ready to go when that opportunity occurs.
