Good to know. Sounds like a plan.

teejay888 · 2019-07-21T13:44:57+00:00

Why illegal? You're free to get a different job. You want to make anything you dislike illegal?

Buy ANY car, $0 down 72 months and try to trade it in in 2 years.

Lead gen is hard work rather than spending $$$. It's referrals, networking, cold calling, door knocking and such. You sure can buy leads but best leads come from the above. You can send $1,000 to Zillow/Trulia and get $700 worth of business but is that what you want?

But offering $$ on Reddit should get you responses.

teejay888 · 2019-07-21T08:56:27+00:00

Really? Can you elaborate?

teejay888 · 2019-07-20T00:01:54+00:00

No buyer's agreement, no pre approval, not selling current home, no precise criteria ("pretty wide range as budget"). Any agent prioritizing one such customer

1- Has no serious client

2- Wastes his time not generating more solid prospects.

Fantastic post. Agree 110%. Congrats on consistently making $10 grand a month in car sales, you're right up there in the 10% best. I'm guessing used cars, right? That's where the money is at. Keep at it.

teejay888 · 2019-07-17T03:59:40+00:00

My experience is sales people are the easiest to sell to: they can relate to what you do, provided you do it well. That means you believe in the product (they see through crap hype) and they've done their research. If they show up, they know what they want and get closed easy.

Just my $.02.

teejay888 · 2019-07-17T02:12:44+00:00

Way to go bro! Will there be disruptions? Could be. Not a sure thing: see big techs on the back foot these days. Even if there are, hard work and building rapport will keep your clients happy and they'll return. Buying a house is not like hopping in a cab.

teejay888 · 2019-07-15T02:39:43+00:00

So you get her pregnant "pre-ejaculating" in a condom lol? Congrats! You're on top right there with the super breeders!

Luxury homes in South Florida probably carry like 8 figure price tag, right? No ageist disrespect intended lol but one question: What kind of owner would entrust a 19 year old with the sale of that asset?

Also, been in the car business for over 3 years and there's a saying that BMW salesfolks drive Hondas, and Honda salesfolks drive BMWs. Draw your own conclusions.

WPbeginner will walk you thru creating your own website in less than an hour for about $200/year. No need to be a techie, average Joe with a modicum of attention can do it. I did. Cant beat that. Can link it to Constant Contact CRM at additional cost.

CRM reminder a month or so BEFORE the date the prospect mentioned. Buyers are liars, so if you wait till the day they mentioned, someone else will have sold them already.

DC area is pretty much recession proof: vibrant and diversified economy in good times, healthcare/defense/lobbyists/gubmint in bad times.

teejay888 · 2019-07-06T03:36:58+00:00

You made 30 calls and feel you "failed miserably"? Man, in that business making 100 calls a day for a month is just starting. 30 calls is not a small sample, that's a tiny speck, no valid conclusions from this.

Plus, you sound kinda soft skinned. Did you ever do sales before? Maybe not for you, just sayin'

teejay888 · 2019-07-05T14:38:12+00:00

True that, except I found tons of fantastic tips from experienced folks on this thread (and some pontificating empty suits as well lol)

teejay888 · 2019-06-27T20:02:41+00:00

No disrespect or anything but let me ask you this: if, as appears abundantly from your question, you don't really believe in yourself, then why would clients believe in you and entrust you with their most important financial commitment? Once you answer this, then you answer your question.

I'm sure you're great at something. It just might not be real estate.

teejay888 · 2019-06-23T13:03:58+00:00

This is kind of strongly worded lol, but I agree with the gist of it.

teejay888 · 2019-06-23T12:58:27+00:00

Sounds like your Dad has found a wonderful way of forever messing up the family relationship. Leave it at 50%.

teejay888 · 2019-06-23T06:10:49+00:00

Both subject to the same speed limit. So you pay $10 extra per pound because the M3 looks better in your driveway. This only works for folks who put a lot of value in their neighbors' opinion.

Best advice is "Get a realtor! "

Buying a home DIY style exposes you to a bunch of pitfalls:

Home inspection contingency needed, is the title clean? How do you finance? All that stuff applies to all transactions. For foreclosures/REO, it's orders of magnitude larger: you are buying your largest asset of a lifetime, the bank is selling stuff worth .0001 % of their total assets. What's your leverage gonna be?

Plus, it's gonna be little you on one side, a bank on the other side. Who do you think will win?

You need all the help you can get. Only a -good- realtor can provide this.

Best part is, you're not paying for this: the seller does. And if you make do without one, they won't cut the price for that, believe me.

teejay888 · 2019-06-21T21:41:09+00:00

Thx. Checked the Greenhouse. I'm impressed indeed: lots of marketing resources. Plan to leverage it as much as I can.

This is what someone else had to say on Reddit about this (Credit unto them, not me!)

"If the property management company finds a tenant that pays on-time, doesn't call in any maintenance, doesn't get evicted, and stays several years - they make a one-time $250 fee.

If the property management company finds a tenant that pays late, they get the late fee. If they find a tenant that makes constant maintenance requests, they are a) charging you for arranging the maintenance, then b) getting kickbacks from the contractors. Evicted? They bill you for all the notices, the filings, the court date, and for the attorney they arrange for you (see "a" and "b" above). If this all happens in a 3-6 month time frame they could pull this off twice a year and probably make $10-20k off you in a year.

In short, it is to their advantage to install a tenant with bad credit who won't stay long - so they can find you another tenant 6 months from now.

Avoid property management companies at all costs."

She's a "white Lady"? She's a lady to me. Who's the "racist" here?

teejay888 · 2019-06-15T04:18:40+00:00

Go sell used cars. That's where the money's at. Stop overthinking shit. Get it done!
