Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

If you stay in this business long enough, there will come a time when you can no longer borrow money from banks. You will reach your limit whether it is in the number of loans, or the amount of those loans.

Many investors will use hard money loans at this stage. But, it's really expensive. It's convenient and pretty easy to get, but the costs are extremely high. Not only are the interest rates higher, but there will be fees and points you will have to pay.

What's the Answer?

A much better alternative is to learn how to raise private money for your deals, and that's what this podcast is about.

Learn how to attract private money "partners", where to find them, and how to approach them when you need funding for your deals.

It's easier than ever to build your business and your brand through the strategic use of social media.

There are a lot of different ways to do this, and a number of different social media platforms. So how do you know where to start?

I have some tips for you today, and a free resource for you or your virtual assistant to use to grow you online presence.

For the complete article, please head on over to my blog - Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog.

I have a short podcast for you today (around 15 minutes) on how to quickly screen sellers on the telephone, and still get all the relevant information you need to determine if the property meets your buying criteria.

It's important to be able to do this. As your business grows you will have less time to look at every property. Being able to gauge the seller's motivation and quickly evaluate the property is a skill anyone can develop with a little practice.

Using a property information form is one way to ensure that you get all the information needed in that initial phone call. It's an important part of having a system for this part of your business.

Let me know if you have any questions. Be sure to head over to the Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog for more content to help you grow your business.

Meet Lauren Hardy, a California mom that flips houses. Because the Orange County market is so expensive, Lauren decided to branch out and grow her territory so she had more opportunity.

Down the road, she made the bold decision to give new construction a try in another more affordable state. It's really interesting to hear Lauren talk about how seamless this process actually was for her.

Managing a business when you're a working mom with small children can be tricky. She gives some great advice on how she manages this whole process and also on how she has managed to grow her business. Well talk marketing, direct mail, networking and more.

I love the niche of probates. In fact, it is my favorite niche to work in.

These are some of the most motivated sellers on the planet. They rarely want the property; they just want the cash from the sale of the property.

Many times people think you need special knowledge or skills to work with probates but this isn't true.

Today's podcast is short, but in it I will answer some of the most commonly asked questions I get about working in this niche.

Contact me on the blog if you have any questions.
