1. Like @rotortech (Kevin) I am using some nice business checks that came in a binder. I got a little tree logo on them and extra security features. I still do cashier’s checks if people rquest them, but that has only happened once or twice. I tend to just wire money if I need to.

2. My purchase agreement says that…[Read more]

Piggy backing on this thread, my data list is of lots ranging from 1 to 5 acres. Should I try to price each acre range ex 1-1.5 acres, 2-2.5 acres etc, and find the lowest price/acre for each range, or look at all 1-5 acre properties and use the cheapest of them all for pricing?

My county doesn’t have a ton of comps so I’m also wondering do I…[Read more]

Hey, tagging onto this because I have a similar question. I de-selected all the boxes in the “Select Export Packages” popup (the one where you’re getting ready to download data). But now I’m missing some things in my excel file, most importantly lot acreage.
It sounds like I should have left all of the boxes checked? And that…[Read more]

@rotortech thanks for this tip. One note, currently this is only available in the Android app. The iOS app only lets you take a picture. But I use the Dropbox app as it does have the scan option.

Great advice for a seasoned professional, thanks Kevin @rotortech

If only I had done this on my first mailer… LOL I would have avoided sending out offers ranging from 3-18% instead of the 23% that I had planned on sending. Good thing it was a smaller “test” mailer. But, @milan is also right, overthinking things can kill you in this business.…[Read more]

@tkells are you trying to scrap every listing on LandWatch? You said it working after 5-10 counties.

I had a Fiverr developer create a scrapper that runs in FireFox via iMacro plugin for LandWatch, RedFin and Zillow. I go to each site, put in my custom search criteria (land only, size, etc) that I want the data for. Then I copy that page usl…[Read more]

@rotortech just taking a little breather from scrubbing data right now… 🙂

@stuartmullinstx Thanks! good luck when your mail starts to hit.

Ok, back to scrubbing data, so I can “send more mail”!!!!

@rotortech Kevin, when you create the new deed I assume that you copy the grantee field from the vesting deed verbatim and use that as the grantor field in the new deed. (Please correct me if that’s wrong). Then for the signature block do you write the person’s name who has POA? I assume that you would copy their name verbatim from the POA…[Read more]

@rotortech thanks for the constructive feedback and encouragement! I sort of knew the small first mailer was likely a noob mistake.

I’m not even seeing an option agreement anywhere in the course data files. @rotortech Do you have a document that you use or are you able to point me to one?

Thanks!

@rotortech forgive the noob question, but what is the advantage to purchasing them all on one deed other than maybe some filing fees being reduced and overall less paperwork?

@rotortech I wish the forum had a “like” button, because I certainly like your reply on this topic.

@cklid1 I agree with @rotortech great, complete answer. Thanks.

Has anyone come up with a simple copy/paste way of importing this polygon data from Parcelfact into Google Earth?

@Admin How do you use the polygon data in that format?

@rotortech thanks for sharing this experience for the group.

@anwarm & @rotortech Thanks for the feedback!

Great question. We are answering this question on the podcast which will air on Monday, December 26, 2017

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone found a solution to this yet or is everyone holding out for JillPay? ( @jilldewit @admin)

I’m still working on the training, but did a quick google search and found Gravity Payments. Disclosure, I’ve not contacted them as I’m not ready to add this yet but thought I’d pass it along in case it could help one of you. ( @bear…[Read more]

Appreciate the insights, Kevin.

Following up on this, I have a different deal now that’s slightly similar.

I’m talking to a seller who wants to sell me four properties. The properties are in a trust under her’s and her husband’s name. Her husband passed away years ago. Would she be able to sign and we can take title fairly easily? Usual “you’re…[Read more]
