How to Protect Your Wholesale Deal - Real Estate Investing with Raul Bolufe

Expand Your Real Estate Market Through Virtual Wholesaling with Raul Bolufe & Jay Conner 

If you're currently a real estate agent and you've been thinking about getting into the investing space, this video is for you! I was on Selling Real Estate with Kelly Cook recently and I talked about a hybrid model for real estate agents that could help them make the most out of their current marketing to get started in investing. Watch this video for the full interview with Kelly and Elizabeth so you can learn more about the hybrid model for realtors and how you can do it if you're a real estate agent!

Friend of the show Raul Bolufe discusses his philosophy on having a wholesale operation that focuses on making MLS Offers vs Marketing Directly to seller. We also discuss the role of the ego in your life and business, and why he is strategically ramping aspects of his business down right now after 5 years of grinding.   You can check out Raul's YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk4I... www.investorfuse.com 8020businesspodcast.com

We hear so many people talk about being visionaries and integrators, but is it really just black and white? I think everybody has a piece of each in them and what shines most is what you choose to focus on or what your business needs from you.

Raul is a Real Estate Entrepreneur, Real Estate Coach, Podcast Host, and CEO of Capital Rise Investments LLC. Capital Rise Investments LLC is one of Miami ‘s premier real estate investing groups. They specialize in distressed single-family houses (foreclosures, bank REO's, sellers who need to sell fast). After they buy a house, the house is then remodeled and sold to a new homeowner to love and live in. At Capital Rise Investments, they believe their success is a result of the relationships they've built and their process in buying and selling quality houses. Houses that they buy tend to be the ones that aren't the best looking in the neighborhood. So when they buy into an area, the community embraces them because they're helping to beautify the community they live in as well.

One of the best things about real estate is the flexibility of deal structures. We aren't confined to a single way of structuring our deals because we can have as many options as we want to if we can get creative enough, as long as all parties involved will agree.

My first deal didn't come by like how most real estate investors find theirs. It was a $61K condo and it was already rented, I thought the math made sense, so I did what I had to so I could get the deal!

A major part of your success will come from your mindset. You have to think the right way so you could achieve your goals and attract more opportunities that will give you success!

One of the most important skills you need to have as a real estate investor is thoroughly evaluating deals, no matter what property type you're working with. Our business is focusing on multifamily properties this year and that's what I'm here to share with you guys.

When it comes to finding deals, it all comes down to two components - marketing and sales. These two components work hand-in-hand to give you the results you want to have in your business.

As a real estate investor, it's the first deal that always gets you fueled and fired up to get more. I got my first deal through a method that I learned from a podcast I listened to and after that was done, I never wanted to stop!

Direct mail, up to now, is still one of our most profitable lead sources. It's an age-old strategy that's proven effective no matter how much technology changes marketing, and it's a strategy you should be using in your business too.

For those of you that don't know what an MLS is, it's a Multiple Listing Service, and it is where realtors, real estate agents, and brokers list their properties for sale. It's a marketplace that can be accessed only if you're licensed and it's another great way to find great deals.

Wholesaling is one of the greatest strategies in real estate investing. It's a strategy that can make you millions when done right and it's important that you know what wholesale deals are like before you get started.

A VTO is a Vision Traction Organizer and it comes from the book Traction by Gino Wickman. It is one of the most important things you need to have in your business to make sure that you're focused on what truly matters and that you're always on track to achieve your goals.

Another key strategy we use in our wholesale business is cold calling and it gives us the best return on our money. Cold calling can be a powerful strategy if you have the right people doing it through the right process!

If you want your business to become successful, you need to have a strategic plan in place. Simple to-do lists won't work and that's why we follow a system that helps us make sure we're not running around like chickens with our heads cut off!

It takes a lot to build a great team. We put thousands of hours into building people and as a business owner, you don't want to keep on doing the same thing and starting over because the great ones are leaving.
