  • Episode 217: Advantages to Writing a Book

    Mitch Stephen has been a self-employed RE investor for 20+ years. His real estate investing career started at the age of 23 when he read “Nothing Down” by Robert Allen.

    REAL ESTATE INVESTOR: Mitch, together with his wife, Tommi, and his daughter, Shannon purchased their fair share of local houses. Their company, Independence Day, Inc., has bought and sold over 1,500 properties in and about San Antonio, Tx since 1996. This company specializes in buying distressed properties with OPM and the selling of those owner financed properties.

    AUTHOR:

    Mitch is the author 3 books:

    Failing Forward to Financial Freedom

    MY LIFE & 1,000 HOUSES:

    200+ Ways to Find Bargain Properties

    My Life & 1,000 Houses

    The Art of Owner Financing

    EDUCATOR:

    Mitch offers Online Education, Group Coaching, and one-on-one Mentorships as it relates to all the aspects of Owner Financing and owner financed properties.

    Mitch forged the creation of a mass texting software, LiveComm.com to help solve problems that arise when you get numerous calls from bandit signs and other advertising efforts to sell your houses.

    The main reason Mitch wanted this system was to reduce the number of calls from potential buyers (that asked the same questions over and over) to a group of the most qualified buyers, saving time for the sales team. This solves that and much more to streamline your selling process.

    What you’ll learn about in this episode:

    How writing a book might help you launch your career, cultivate leads, and build a stronger presence in your industry
    How writing a book has helped Mitch develop as an entrepreneur
    Things you can do to get through the writing process, get your book published, and help promote your book once you’ve become a published writer
    Why books aren’t all that profitable for entrepreneurs – at least not directly, but how they can help potential customers and business partners get to know you
    The ways you can be consistent from one book to the next to generate recognition
    Why you don’t necessarily need to have a specific purpose for writing that first book (in fact, it may be more about you than the potential audience and that’s okay too)
    How the honesty of Mitch’s book is what really resonated with readers and what allows them to relate to him as a person and not just as an investor or potential business partner
    Why your book doesn’t need to be pretty – as long as it is the truth – especially if it’s the unvarnished truth
    How the first book often leads to the second book – almost without you ever intending to write another one
    And the third
    The fact that writing a book presents you as an authority on the topic and why that is very good for your business
    The reason you need to write your book and not hire someone to ghostwrite it for you
    How to use your book to generate leads for your business – and how Mitch does it quite successfully

          • Episode 216: Building a Cash Buyers List

            Manuel Oblitas was born and raised in Lima, Peru, South America. Both Manuel and his older brother Javier were exposed to the business world in the early stages of their life as their dad was involved in the mass production of clothing in Lima.

            Manuel co-founded Visual Net Design (VND) back in 2002 in San Antonio, Texas as a two-man show (his brother Javier is the co-founder), specializing in building desktop applications. Their experience dates back to Assembly Language programming on the Commodore 64 back in the late 80s. Prior to starting VND (1998), they ported DOS based software to Windows 98 compatible, building a large distributed application for the apartment locating industry. They launched VND as a web development firm in 2002, providing web design and development, desktop software development, web marketing, SEO, server hosting and IT Services. Since then, VND has worked on projects ranging from University websites to Internet of Things (IOT) projects with embedded devices for startups. Currently, they serve clients such as Keller Williams, Texas State University, Vantage Bank, Friedrich Air Conditioning and Discovery Networks.

            Manuel provides executive oversight at Livecomm across all operations. He oversees production, marketing, and software update requests. He has a background in software development and currently is a partner at www.vndx.com, a software company he founded with Javier Oblitas in 2002.

            What you’ll learn about in this episode:

            How the idea for Livecomm.com got started
            What Livecomm.com is and why it matters for entrepreneurs today
            Some of the most popular features LiveComm offers to entrepreneurs
            Ways you can use LiveComm to generate competition among people who handle your sales
            How using LiveComm allows entrepreneurs to take advantage of the surprisingly high open rates for text messages – especially when compared to open rates for emails – and transform that into leads and ultimately into sales
            The value of creating automated text replies to keep your leads engaged
            An upcoming LiveComm feature that is expected to transform your customer service by automatically recording calls to see how you or your sales staff handle customer support, service, and the sales process
            Why this is an excellent tool for ensuring that your sales personnel are following scripts and the system you’ve worked hard to create
            Why lead generation is so vital for sales in any industry, including real estate
            How to use recordings with the LiveComm system to generate leads for your business
            The power of importing your existing list of contacts into the LiveComm system to offer greater flexibility for relationship building and lead generation on multiple fronts
            The reason LiveComm offers you the opportunity to send individual text messages to potential leads instead of a mass email to 10,000 people that everyone receives a response from and why that matters
            How entrepreneurs who use LiveComm can, in turn, recommend the product to others to earn money on a product you’re already using, familiar with, and believe in
            Tips for maximizing your efforts and results with LiveComm
            How using recorded messages can help keep sales professionals fresh and excited rather than burned out by weeding out tire kickers and curiosity seekers
