    ASK34: How do I find motivated sellers and BMV deals?

    enApril 12, 2016

    Podcast Summary

    • Generating leads for below market value and off-market dealsCombine networking, building relationships with estate agents, and using social media for consistent lead generation efforts

      To keep the Ask Rob and Rob podcast going, listeners need to submit their property-related questions. The hosts, Rob and Rob, will then answer these questions on the show. Mark Morris, a listener, recently asked for advice on generating leads for below market value and off-market deals. He had tried direct marketing with leaflets but didn't stick to it. Rob and Rob suggested trying different methods, such as networking at local events, building relationships with estate agents, and using social media to connect with potential sellers. They emphasized the importance of persistence and consistency in lead generation efforts. In summary, the key takeaway is that generating leads for property deals requires a combination of different strategies and a consistent effort. Listeners are encouraged to submit their questions to the Ask Rob and Rob podcast for more insights and advice.

    • Networking and outsourcing are effective ways to find property dealsLeverage networking to learn about deals from others in the property community or outsource the process to save time and effort with added costs.

      There are two effective ways to find property deals: networking and outsourcing. Networking involves leveraging your position in the property community to learn about deals from others. Attending meetups and events, and building relationships with other investors and professionals can lead to valuable opportunities. Outsourcing, on the other hand, involves hiring someone else to handle the process of finding and evaluating deals for you. This can save time and effort, but it may come with additional costs. Ultimately, the best approach depends on your resources, preferences, and the value you place on the deals you're pursuing. By utilizing both networking and outsourcing, you can maximize your chances of finding profitable deals in the property market.

    • Choosing the right property investing strategySuccess in property investing requires dedication, a clear strategy, and persistence. Choose between networking and self-marketing based on your skills and resources, and stay committed to your chosen approach.

      Successful property investing requires dedication and a clear strategy. You can choose to build a network and let deals come to you, paying fees when necessary, or you can do it yourself with systematic marketing efforts. However, it's essential to be realistic about your personal abilities and the time commitment required. Some people find success with self-marketing, while others thrive in a networked approach. Ultimately, the key is to choose the strategy that best fits your skills and resources and stick with it. Remember, property investing doesn't often provide instant results, and it can take time and effort to see success. So, whether you leverage your network or get systematic with your marketing, stay focused and persistent, and don't be afraid to adjust your approach if needed. Good luck with your property investing journey!

    • Connect with like-minded individuals for better real estate dealsAttend meetups or engage on the Property Hub forum to expand your professional network and access better real estate deals

      Expanding your professional network is crucial for finding better real estate deals. The Property Hub offers two free ways to connect with like-minded individuals in your local area: attending meetups or engaging on their online forum. Meetups provide opportunities to chat and exchange knowledge with others face-to-face, while the forum allows you to connect with members and discuss specific areas of interest. Once you've made ten posts on the forum, you can send private messages to other members. With both options, you can build valuable contacts that can lead to better deals. To find a Property Hub meetup or forum near you, visit propertyhub.net/meetups or propertyhub.net/forum, respectively. Remember, growing your network is the first step to accessing deals that surpass the average offerings from estate agents.

    About the Episode:

    Today, Lynn Rivest joins me on the show for an eye-opening episode on how the online marketing world is evolving. She is an Online Business Strategist helping solo entrepreneurs focus on what matters most in their business to make it flourish. Lynn is a tough lover. She will tell you the truth and let you decide what you want to do with it. I have Lynn on my team, and I can tell you she is such a gem.

    The online marketing world is evolving with every dawning day. What worked a few years back might no longer work today. The Covid Pandemic has allowed us to see how much we have lost the human touch in how we do business. AI is taking over, and people are tired of automation.

    For instance, some years back, people created a course once, and they would sell it over and over with live sessions. Today, people want to have live sessions with the course creators. They want to feel the human connection between them. You need to offer a human-to-human relationship to avoid running out of business soon. Old tricks are foundations, but we must embrace new ways of doing things.

    In marketing, we see a lot of changes. People only want quality. Quantity has no place in the current marketplace. As an entrepreneur, you must look at your marketing strategies to see if quality is winning over quantity and if your messaging has a human touch. According to Lynn. Unlike some years back, the noise in the marketing world is so loud that you must find a way to communicate with your audience away from the noise.

    In this episode, Lynn shares some mistakes to avoid if we want to succeed in online marketing. She also shares some gems to help us transition to the next level of our business. Listen in and learn.

    Magical Quotes from the Episode:

    “Even when, you’re good at helping somebody do one thing, you’ll fall back on doing those things yourself. It’s just natural.”

    “Finding the people right for you, is that you need to be even more clear and specific, then you ever had to before.”

    “There’s always going to be something pulling us away in some way. That seems like a good idea for our business.”

    “It is practically impossible to have a launch that is a six-figure launch when you don’t have an audience to support it.”

    “If you’re doing something that is higher quality, meaning you’re not selling, you know, the $27 product, you’re not, you’re not among many on the shelf, like you’re not a commodity in that way. You want to connect with certain people over the masses.”
