Brian did you (or anyone else lately ) pull data from Fresno county and see that it was very limited , no acreage or legal description !!
Trying to see if this is how this county spits out data or if I did something wrong, thanks

Hi @rotortech aka Kevin,

Thank you for your awesome contributions and sharing your experiences.

Just today we had “STRIKE 1” which is really “STRIKE 3 – YOU’RE OUT” with a title company.

They sent us an email stating they could not fulfill their commitment and would need an extra 2 weeks to close the transaction AND asked US to sign a…[Read more]

@rotortech

Thank you guys for the encouraging words!

Kevin – amen brother, I’ve seen the light! One thing I’m lacking is a rhythm but I will work on sending offers on a more regular basis to keep the deal funnel filled. @rotortech

Brian – Yes, more deals in the works. The April mailer was about 400 offers and produced the one deal described above. I…[Read more]

Only 1, gotta put it up on MLS today. I’ve sent maybe 2000 since then and haven’t got any more. A lot of that is due to making mistakes, learning, and not focusing on an asset type. I plan on doing a coaching call with @rotortech soon to help get dialed in.

@rotortech another thing you can try. Enter a formula to compare the mailing address to the situs address.

Here is what I use: =VLOOKUP(P2,AT2,1,FALSE) where column P is mail address & column AT is situs address. Then copy the formula down. All the cells that return a value other than FALSE indicate that the two addresses are the same. I’ll…[Read more]

Hey @rotortech , I use PipeDrive as well , how are you using AirTable with it? Thanks for all of your posts on here! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

@rotortech Thanks for all you do for this community!

@rotortech
Thanks!

2 comments from my experience:

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]
