Hope everyone had a good Christmas break! As you can probably guess I didn’t do any Real Estate stuff over the long weekend, I just enjoyed being with my family and friends. I got a strange voice mail last weekend from a lady who wanted to know what “This Thing” was about. I can only assume that she was talking about a postcard that I had sent out. I have to cross check her name with the names on my …
You’ve got mail
Well I took a few days to put together a marketing postcard. It wasn’t to hard as I hunted the internet to find examples. I made some adjustments to the post card to make sure it targeted Foreclosures and then mailed it out through click2mail!! Took me a little while to get everything correct and to upload my lead list of addresses, but once my account was setup it was easy. I wanted to my first mailer to be simple, …
Not alot
Not a lot going on but the guys from NJQuicksell are looking into short sales and asked me if I know any realtors who have leads. So I contacted the two realtors i’ve been working with and they both seem interested. I mean what Realtor wouldn’t want to hand over their Short Sale leads to investors who are willing to do all the work, buy the property and then pay the agent their commission. Sounds like easy money for the …
It has been done
Just wanted to let everyone know that I bought a list of about 150 names from listsource. Cost me $70, it could have been cheaper but I wanted to see some additional information about each lead. We will see if I actually need that extra info and I will adjust my future purchases. I have no idea how good the list is, but I’m going to prepare a letter this weekend and then send out my first mailings. If anyone …
oh those holidays
I’ve been chugging along in my quest to be become a real estate investor for over a year now and I’m finally picking up steam and then the holiday’s hit!?!? Open Houses I haven’t been able to go to any open houses the past 3 weeks. I’ve had a few chores I’ve been putting off that needed to get done. I was building book shelves for our office and needed to have them done by our holiday party last weekend. …
Meet-Up
I went to the meetup meeting last night and although it was a small group, there were only 6 people, it was great. All of us can definitely benefit greatly from a group like this. The guy who organized it, Jarred, and the others are all nice people and willing to help and learn from each other. The good part is that I finally met some other investors who actually/will do business mainly in Morris County. I’m really glad I …
I need another long weekend
But this time I don’t want to have a holiday attached to it! Man its rough getting anything done around the holidays. I had to finish up the book shelves I’m building for the office and I also spent a lot of my free time doing AutoCadd for my brother in order to try and get a project out today. I enjoy building the bookshelves (I’m making them myself from planks of wood) very much! On the other hand I’m …
