Marilyn – Overpricing is the worst headache.

Beautiful! The three I got today are nothing compared to that. Is that 10 pages and no profanity? Where is the fun in that?

Today I have been told that I am Crazy, that I am a Crook, and that I am Stupid. I call that OFFER PRICING CONFIRMATION.

Hi Scott, Glad that you have joined us here. To each his own. There are many people who sell on terms and do very well. I think that they expect to sell some properties multiple times and that is just part of their business strategy. In fact, I sell land to terms people sometimes. It’s good business. I do not prefer terms deals. I will do them if…[Read more]

Charles – Good for you! Now take what you now and keep going. Once you figure out how to get those deeds recorded at the county it becomes very easy. Just crank them out.

For what it is worth, my ads all state “No refunds. Properties are sold ‘As is’.” Does it hurt my sales? I don’t know. Out of approximately 100 sales I have had one guy ask for a refund on a cash purchase. I offered him 50% of the price he paid. He said “That sounds fair. I’ll think about it.” Never heard from him again. Why make it easy for…[Read more]

Matt – Write a cover letter to the recorder and ask to have #1 recorded first and #2 recorded second. Just like you said.

Matt – I have used CL in several markets but I only look at photograhers with a website and a portfolio. They have worked out well for photos and drone work. I never got anyone to leave the house for $50 tough!

Mike – You have answered your own question. It is all about price. Buy them low enough so that you can sell them for double or triple and still be less than the current market. With a lot of wholesalers working that county that may drive the price down to nearly zero. Figure out a purchase price low enough that you can’t lose and offer that. Your…[Read more]

Steven – I agree with Luke. Properties usually sell before the county has updated the information. There are only about 1 in 100 buyers who try to verify data with the county before purchasing. Those are the people who call and say “You are a scammer. That property belongs to someone else.” Then we send them a scanned copy of the signed deed, but…[Read more]

Mike – I took a look at your ad and the nearest comp. That one is 5 acres for $17,000. It has power at the road. Your ad does not mention power. The other ad also mentions that water has to be hauled.

If there is power you should mention it and how far away it is.
State how to get water. Well / Hauled in/ etc
Tell them about the Road paved /…[Read more]

Steven – I have purchased from Trusts, Banks, Insurance Companies, and Title Companies. Send the mail and let them decide. I scrub out all government agencies and sometimes I will take out some businesses but usually due to address or name issues in the data. I don’t give it too much thought.

Luke – I think you are starting to pay the price for your success. You are a star on YouTube and you are reaching all these people and now some of them are coming to find you. I use a PO Box at the Post Office. I don’t know how difficult it is to track down a PO Box location. Plus, if some clown pulled up at the USPS they would probably figure out…[Read more]

Steven – As others have found out, the filter capability on RQPro is poor and clunky at best. And, you need to understand that a lot (most?) of rural vacant land parcels have no address assigned. Therefore, no zip code to sort on. You just can’t do it this way. You will have to figure out how to find the properties by APN. Study the data and see…[Read more]

Hi Brian – Jack mentioned that when speaking about selling homes. Might work for land, but that is not what he was talking about. Good luck.
