Question:
How would you suggest a rookie get their first deal?
Answer:
This is such an important question for so many folks. Because whether you been in business for a long time or your just getting started. It is so important that you really rev up your buying machine. That means that you have to do a significant amount of marketing in the beginning in order to get the attention. In order to get the leads coming in. In order to get the momentum in your business. So, I recommend that if you do not yet have your marketing ordered. If you do not yet have your marketing placed that is an appropriate use of time.

Question:
Which is the first action to take to start your business? Build a buyers list or obtain properties?
Question:
We’re going to go with getting started. James McClendon says, no investment money, bad credit; how can I get started?
Answer:
Well, James that’s a fantastic question and the answer is, follow the system. It’s just that simple. If you follow the system, generate the leads…and of course, if you don’t even have money for generating leads, then you’re going to have to spend energy. It’s an energy-money exchange. The more money you have the less energy you have to give to get leads. The less money you have the more energy you’re going to have to give, James.

Question:
Lou, I am a new investor. I want to wholesale properties to begin to generate a little cash flow.
Answer:
Which is exactly the way a lot of us start out. We have to do that cash flow situation so that we have enough to eat on, and live on while we build our portfolio of holding properties. One of the best ways to do that is to find properties for other people and flip it to them.
Question:
Given the current State market conditions, which do not appear as favorable for sellers, what investing strategies, or techniques do you recommend to avoid getting stuck with properties?
Question:
From Mike Oliver, he asks, “Hi Lou, I picked up my first Subject To Deal and as I was going through the Due-on-Sale checklist in the Trust Course, I got a bit confused. Am I contracting with the seller and assigning it to a trust in which I have a beneficial interest or am I having the seller deed the property into trust in which a friend or an entity is trustee and having the sellers assign their beneficial interest to me at closing? Would you please clarify this for me?
