Flipping America

Recently I finished up another eBook, "How to Put Skin in the Game When You are Running Thin on Skin." In it I show you how to do a real estate deal using none of your own money. I'm not just talking about the occasional "no money down" deal you might come across. I'm talking about doing a full fix and flip with none of your own money. People want to know how I've done 700 or more of these, so I wrote the book, telling you how I did it and continue to do it. Last time I read part one and today we are finishing it up with part two.

Why 'Days on Market' is a Key Metric When Selling a House

• Bob, Atlanta, GA "Could you weigh in on the topic of purchasing tax liens?"
• Martin, Atlanta, GA "What is a subject-to purchase and how does it work?"
• Shazar, Atlanta, GA "I'm struggling with a way to estimate repairs. It seems like by the time I figure them out the property already has four other offers."
• Cooper, Boulder, CO "A friend of mine turned me on to your show. We've been having a little debate about what to pay for rental properties. He says that according to you we should buy 1%ers and I say if you buy in the right location it doesn't matter. The values will go up and we will be glad we bought. We are probably overpaying for properties near campus we plan to turn into student housing, but in the long term believe this is a sound strategy. How is this incorrect?"
• Justin, Toledo, OH, "I have no family and no friends with money. What I do have is hustle and the ability to talk to people. I like real estate and like negotiating to buy properties. I have made two deals so far and a friend of mine gave me a few thousand dollars for each one and he kept them as rentals. He doesn't want more properties right now so I was wondering if you could give me some ideas about what to do next?"
• Allison, Fort Worth, TX "Do you ever get tired of talking about Real Estate?"

Today's show is for anyone who is looking for a social media strategy. We all know we need to have a presence, but some of us (I'm looking at you baby boomers out there) don't have a natural instinct for or even interest in social media. For me, I'm just not that interested in what my friends are having for summer or where they are currently on vacation - letting the whole world know they are out of the country and no one is at home guarding their stuff. So for those of us who know we need something but don't want to become experts and definitely don't want to have to learn multiple implementations, we need HELP. Help is coming to you today from our guest, Italina Kirkness. She will be along in just a minute to talk about your social media strategy.

If you know me you know I'm not all about the hype. Real estate can be lucrative, but I reject those who try to get people excited by showing them pictures of cars, boats, and other things that go along with the lifestyle. In the end, this is a business and can sometimes be hard work. I don't want to sugar coat it. So I don't. But here's the fact, Jack. You can make really good money in this business. Really good. You're going to be absolutely inspired by our guests today, Dedric and Krystal Polite. From ZERO to six figure income in just a year. It CAN be done and Dedric and Krystal are living proof.

Dedric & Krystal Polite are serial entrepreneurs and real estate investors. They own multiple businesses and currently invest in real estate nationwide. They own cash flowing multi-family rental units and are focused on adding an additional 100 cash flowing units to their rental portfolio, continuing to find and flip 10+ profitable wholesale deals per month for their Cash Buyers, and doing strategic fix and flips.

They have a Private Facebook group for couples in business together called The CoPreneur. They've been featured in the Wall St Journal and Inman news for their success and expertise in driving for dollars using the Deal Machine app. They are virtual investors and invest nationwide.

As you know I hold a meeting every Thursday night at the City Tap in Atlanta GA. A couple of months ago there was some confusion at the host stand because there was another real estate meeting taking place in the restaurant that evening. Well, I'm not the shy type of guy so I went over to introduce myself. That's where I met Justin Landis and I was simply blown away by what he is doing. I told him right then I needed to get him on the show because everyone needs to know about this. And I mean EVERYONE. That's means you. You are NOT going to want to miss the interview today. I don't use the word "literally" unless I mean it literally, but this could literally change your life. And if you decide to get involved it will DEFINITELY change someone else's life.

There's still time to pre-order "Fantastic Deals and Where to Find Them" on Amazon. You can put in bit.ly/RBfantasticdeals or just head over to amazon and search for the title. The paperback will be available possibly by the time you hear this and the kindle version will drop on Sep 30. I tell you how I get thousands of deals in my inbox every week. I don't hold anything back -- and it's just $3.99. There's nothing out there like it for the price. We have a piece on our home page about finding deals as well.

There’s still time to pre-order “Fantastic Deals and Where to Find Them” on Amazon. You can put in bit.ly/RBfantasticdeals or just head over to amazon and search for the title. The paperback will be available possibly by the time you hear this and the kindle version will drop on Sep 30. I tell you how I get thousands of deals in my inbox every week. I don’t hold anything back -- and it’s just $3.99. There’s nothing out there like it for the price. We have a piece on our home page about finding deals as well. You can check that out at RogerBlankenship.com. Just scroll to the bottom of the page.

Recently I finished up another eBook, “How to Put Skin in the Game When You are Running Thin on Skin.” In it I show you how to do a real estate deal using none of your own money. I’m not just talking about the occasional “no money down” deal you might come across. I’m talking about doing a full fix and flip with none of your own money. People want to know how I’ve done 700 or more of these, so I wrote the book, telling you how I did it and continue to do it.

Today’s show is for anyone who is looking for a social media strategy. We all know we need to have a presence, but some of us (I’m looking at you baby boomers out there) don’t have a natural instinct for or even interest in social media. For me, I’m just not that interested in what my friends are having for summer or where they are currently on vacation - letting the whole world know they are out of the country and no one is at home guarding their stuff. So for those of us who know we need something but don’t want to become experts and definitely don’t want to have to learn multiple implementations, we need HELP. Help is coming to you today from our guest, Italina Kirkness. She will be along in just a minute to talk about your social media strategy.

Biggest mistakes we make with social media:

1. Ignoring it.
2. Connecting and then not doing anything else. 

Key question: “What made you want to connect?”
