Are You Profiting From Your Competition? Here’s how…


Brooks_Conkle_Southern_InvestorIn today’s post, Brooks Conkle of The Southern Investor shows you how to profit from competition through cooperation…

The last 2 wholesale deals that I have done used a key strategy that a lot of investors, especially new ones, don’t use.  What was the strategy?

Typically thought of as competition in the world of wholesaling, other investors can be a valuable source of business given that you take time to develop relationships with key investors and keep in touch on a consistent basis.

Why do I think that having ‘friendly competitors’ is a great idea for your business?  Because you won’t always have all of the pieces to the puzzle that are needed to make a deal successful.  The Property, The Buyer, and The Financing – all 3 of these must be had in some shape or fashion in order to cash out a deal.

Buyers go through cycles and even serious buyers are not always buying.  You might send them a deal and they may be busy fixing properties, working on refinancing others, not like the area, etc – anything can happen in their lives that can delay them buying your property.  You may find what you think is a perfect deal but for some reason the buyer list that you have developed is not biting on your property.

What should you do?

Break out your trusty relationships with other wholesalers.  Offer to JV (joint venture) with another wholesaler that can bring a buyer in exchange for 50% of the profits.  I believe that if you incorporate this strategy that you will experience more long term growth and will generate more profit than if you don’t.  You can do more deals in a shorter period of time if you do and start incorporating the velocity of money into your business model.

Let me show you how…

If you have a list of say 100 buyers and you know of 5 other serious wholesalers that have the same, then you have expanded the number of buyers for your property from 100 to 500.  The same works with deals.  If you are marketing for deals and so are the other 5 wholesalers in your network, then you potentially have 5 times the number of deals to market to your buyer list.

I hope that you choose to see other investors as potential profit centers and not just competition.  I urge you to begin building relationships with other wholesalers today!

Buy and Sell a House With Zero Money Down and Make $5000

Yes, it is possible to make money with zero out of pocket expense. I am as skeptical as the next person, and I know it's easy to get tired of reading all the ads for worthless programs that promise the moon but fail to deliver. I'm not selling anything and I have actually used this real estate investing technique to make money on several occasions. I found a single family home (for sale by owner) and worked out a cash price with the seller for $15,000. I signed an option to purchase agreement with the seller and told her I would contact her soon to schedule a closing. Within a few days, I located another investor looking for a cheap rental property; I signed a purchase agreement with him selling the house to him for $20,000. About thirty days later we all went to closing. We did a simultaneous closing. I did not have to bring any money to the table. The $20,000 went from my buyer through me to my seller minus my $5,000 difference. I had a total of two hours worth of work inv...

How To Buy Your Second Home With No Money Down

So many of my friends do not believe me when I tell them that I buy with no money down. It gets easier as you own more properties. The trick is so simple, You do not need to buy the TV course either. All you need is good credit. I cover this topic in great detail in my other articles and websites. In one of my recent transactions, I am getting ready to close on a pre-construction house in Homestead Florida. I like to buy with 80 % down, this way I don't pay PMI and the paper work is so much easier. I also use the Option ARM, because I am not keeping it for more that a year. So in this case I made a 10% deposit using a credit line from Bank of America and now for the closing and closing costs, I am going to use one of credit card promotions that gives me 0 % interest for 9 months. I plan to flip this in about 6 months so who cares? This is just a small example of buying with no money down. Another common method is using a VA Loan with 100 % Financing. Then you can use certain len...
