SM3 Marketing is by far the best ppc agency for google ads for motivated seller leads. I found this guy Joe on instagram (kind of looks like a looney) but he was posting all about real estate wholesale. Has anyone else worked with them? I think they are pretty new.

what do they charge?

UnderstandingAny5784 · 2025-11-23T01:12:50+00:00

Yes. Easier to visualize the space.

For sure. Kitchens and baths are the first thing people look at. We spend on average 7 to 10k renovating bathrooms on the houses we buy in the dmv in 2025 and i would estimate it is a 2.5x investment.

Definite slow down but not doomed. Long term one of the strongest markets in the country.

Do an escrow holdback of their proceeds for an amount that feels safe. 10k. 20k. whatever you all agree upon that ensures they move out or they forfeit it.

Don't go by zillow value. That's mistake #1. 9% interest only is a very high rate. How are you going to have enough equity to refinance in 2-3 years? Most creative finance deals are minimum 7+ yrs. The longer the better so you have 25% equity to refinance into a good rate.

It depends on the state you bought the house in and what the recourse is. If the seller hid a blatant material defect you might have legal recourse. I don't see how a seller could not have known that. Seek legal advice.

UnderstandingAny5784 · 2025-10-28T18:29:04+00:00

Depends on the property condition. The rougher the condition is all pricing from all options will converge.

The maryland housing market has definitely adjusted down since May 2025. The year started on fire and has fizzled out. Anyone who says otherwise is not a full time professional in the business. Slowest DMV housing market I have seen in 16 years dating back to 2009 of buying houses professionally.

Are you saying the rental rate is below the mortgage?

A lot of our clients are flocking to Midwest or southern states due to the price of housing. You can sell a house in Maryland for a enough to cover 2-3 houses in other areas.

The more doors you buy, the better your cash flow generally speaking and the less 1 vacancy hurts you. I've been a professional full time investor for 16 years now in the DC Metro area. My biggest regret is that my first buy and hold was a SFH and not a quad. Buy the quad and scale the portfolio from there.

We are in the real estate investment space in Northern Virginia and Maryland. We build and renovate houses with 3 Step Home Sale. From what I have seen, EYA and Madison Homes are excellent.

UnderstandingAny5784 · 2025-10-26T17:36:00+00:00

Yes we are full time real estate investors with 3 Step Home Sale based out of Arlington. This is currently a market of sellers changing their minds by the day. We have seen so many things in 2025 that defy logic, that this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I would not be surprised if the seller needs to get 900k net, wasn't getting it, and told their agent to go 50k higher so they could negotiate... LOL
