What should you do in December?

I hear a lot of Realtors and real estate investors say that they will not be working in December. In fact some just take the whole month off. December has a lot less buyers and creates an environment of great buys. I had one fellow Realtor tell me to just shut done shop and take the total winter off. I of course did not do that, I went on with my business.

Some banks close out their yearly books in December and want to unload some assets that doesn't perform in there portfolio, this creates great buys for you as an investor. They all the sudden have more time to get your deals done.

Come January people get there tax checks rolling and buying home suddenly becomes popular again. December everyone is having a great time and not thinking about the future.

I say that's the best time to do both. Have fun and get some great Christmas gifts called discounted real estate. Banks and sellers don't have the volume in December which allows your deals to be more of a priority.

I've got some of my greatest deals in December. In fact December was my biggest month a couple of years. December has less competitors for real estate. People travel a lot and attend many functions for the Holiday season.

People also want to sell their real estate in December. Making offers on properties that have been on the market a long time may land you a great deal. Looking at great deals on the first day on the market in December may get you another great buy! People seem to be in the mood and that helps you get these deals done.

Just remember that my offices are always open in December and looking for great deals. Me and my clients are always looking for great deals 12 months out of the year. Consider December a bonus month for great buys and having fun at your Holiday Parties!

What does the election mean for investors?

Whether your a Democrat,Republican,Independent this election has changed the climate for investors. What will be the difference in the real estate market and lending?

My opinion of the current real estate market their are great buys for Savoy investors. You need to be careful in your investing but there has never been a better time to do it. The rental market is very good in most areas, and so is some flips. I believe in buying the lowest priced deals in the highest quality areas.

I think that the lending rules will change a bit and get some money flowing in this market. That will decrease the foreclosures and start an uptick on the real estate market. The mid west will really take off just because they are so affordable.

Arizona and Nevada will be closely behind. I would stay out of California until they get their books in order.

What am I saying? If your still on the sidelines with real estate it's time to get going. The window is shutting on this great buyers market.

Think about it real estate has been in turmoil for 4 years, it's time for the table to start turning to a sellers market. That means massive money will be flowing for those who bought in this market. Don't believe me look at history, the richest families in America did it in real estate investing.

I personally bought a Duplex from an estate for $9,000 2 weeks ago! That property does need some work but will cash flow $800+ per month. When the market turns I'll make a very handsome profit on it. WOW! that's exciting.

Understanding that today is the day can make you a lot of money!

Make time for your clients

Having time for your clients is a important part of growing your business. Your customer needs to know that you want to talk to them and see what their concerns are.

You may also get a sell out of it. Either way they talk to a lot of people (word of mouth) and that can grow or kill your business. What they see with you can be positive or negative.

That brings up one more point, always be careful with the people who are around you, they also can make or break your company. When you are thinking about having a person help you with your business, make sure they represent themselves well with your clients. They will also be representing you and your services with clients.

I took a client out yesterday and she had a lot of great questions. She saw her investments and informed me what she liked and more importantly what she didn't like. I have a lot of great information that will help me understand her needs.

That is what having your business is. When you work for a company and are not in sales then you do not have to deal with clients day to day. When you are in sales like I am then it makes or breaks you. As a salesperson you are the company to that client your talking to!

I also took my property manager and he also was great with the client and helped explain things I didn't know a lot about. That helped my client have more confidence in my service.

Remember in some cases the client pays money to come and see you via travel. So spending time with them is very important. Face to Face is still the best way to sale and communicate with your clients. You can't see facial expressions and body language via phone. That helps you understand their needs and wants with your company

So making sure that you listen to your clients is very important and can make or break you in business. Brett Young Valley Realty Rooftopprofitmax

Having time to do your own business

Doing any business can take a lot of time. I mean you don't get a product and start a website that sells that product and get immediate profit. It takes a lot of time and effort.

Having the time to meet with clients and do proper marketing can take a lot of time. Clients time is valuable and you need to make sure you or someone in your organization has the time to meet with clients.

Marketing is probably the most important thing to focus on when you open a business. This does take time and some dough. Unless you understand the Internet it can be costly. A site I like to use in Elance it has a lot of vendors that help you with your venture. It also allows a lot of people to bid your project.

Running day to day need to be consistent. Answering the phone can sometimes be a challenge. Their are services out their that will answer the phone and email you the calls. Make sure their professional and do their job, good news is that they can cost as little as $50.00 per month.

Setting up email campaigns is very important. Once you have a potential client email you need to make sure you stay in contact with them. You can do this through services like Icontact and other similar types of email services. Those services allow you to send a weekly ad to your potential client, this lets your potential clients see what your doing and may get them off the fence and start giving you business.

These are just a few things you can do to get your business going. Just remember a business doesn't take just overnight it takes a lot of time and effort to be successful. Brett Young Valley Realty WWW.Rooftopinvestment.com

Making your own bank

Rooftop Profit Max assists our investors with investment purchases with land contracts. Land Contracts can make you a fortune in cash flow and sales profit, quickly.

Example:
We find you a quality home in a great neighborhood and coordinate the rehab for a total investment of $35,000-$45,000. The turn around time is generally 30-90 days. The purchase is 2-4 weeks, rehab 2-3 weeks, then the sale is 30 days approx.

We help you sell the home on a land contract for $80,000. These homes are easily appraising for that amount. That's a $40,000+ profit.

The buyer will put $1500 to $2000 down and pay $800 per month. This home will Cash Flow $500+ a month net.

You can hold your contract or you can loan against it. In this example, you have $40,000 in the home that has been sold for $80,000. A private investor should jump on this opportunity. You pay them 10% interest only, on the $40,000 loan for the life of the contract. They will of course have a 1st lien position at 50% LTV (loan to value). With this scenario, you will still have $300+ cash flow, and have $0 invested in the property. You will also make $40,000 when the sale close (generally 3-5 years) WOW! This process can be repeated over and over again, because you have pulled all your money back out of the investment. Remember, you will have absolutely no maintenance costs. The new owner will have all the finacial responsibilities.

We understand this process, and can help you get this done. We have the resources and the ability to act fast on these type of deals. Just think, no more banks! Call me today if you have any other questions 602-363-6551.

Creating a niche business can make you money

This economy is definitely a struggle for our country, but you can still make a lot of money with a niche business.

I personally set up two successful niche businesses. The first was a pet food company with a twist. I delivered dog food to the door of people. I also carried brands that the big chains didn't carry. That tied a brand to me and usually it was cheaper than comparable brands.

That business is still open today www.gooberpetdirect.com. Goober was my dog and who couldn't remember that name. I grew is to 6000 clients and 1 million a year in sales, it was in Petsmart's back yard.

The second one is my current one. I set up an investment program with a twist. You can buy out of state properties for very low prices. We also have the construction team and property management team to ensure our clients success on each property.

That business currently does $60,000 a month in rent and almost 1 million in fees. I have around 30 clients in that business.

Niche business's are harder to set up, but that is why they are successful. You have to run every detail of the business at first. As you grow you will make enough money to start hiring good people to help you with your growing business.

The mistakes I see people doing out there is trying to do everything themselves and not exercising their minds to learning new ways to make money. The only way to do that is get some good people around you to help you grow.

Some business owners get a little to detailed in the business (and that's OK) just make sure your paychecks reflect your work. In a niche business you can usually create a great income. So remember anything you do in life is hard work, so make sure it's worth it.
