In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over several different topics when it comes to talking to motivated sellers. If you are not using tone or inflection to your advantage in conversation, you will miss out on deals!    Also, how many times are you going on appointments, making offers, and not getting deals signed? If that is the case, you need to ask the seller ahead of time if they are going to be willing to do business when you show up. Carter gives you the exact word track in this episode! 

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter Crowley goes over how you need to stick to your GUNS when it comes to sellers looking for a price. If they are not going to follow your process, tell them to eat dirt! As a customer you don't just go into your dentist demanding to be served right on the spot.  They normally have you set up an appointment weeks in advance, and then you go through their entire routine.  So, why operate your business any different.  If you want to connect with me on social media  @cartercrowley_ on Instagram @Carter Crowley on Facebook

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over the topic of creating content, double-checking your work, how much $/hour you make, and why marketing is so difficult.    Ask yourself this... Do you create enough content for people to know you better? Are you posting on social media enough? I know we ARE NOT in our business and need to do better. For that reason, we are hiring! If you know of anyone who wants to be a full-time content creator have them reach out to me at investwisc@gmail.com  

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over what has been going on lately in the investment business! He discusses how important it is to be consistent in whichever marketing path you choose.  If you should build your list of cash buyers or only flip properties for yourself. Here's a hint... we've made $35,000 in the past month from deals that were thin for us to flip.  I also go over a potential career switch in the near future... Are we getting out of the real estate investment business altogether? Is the market too saturated to find good deals?    Listen now to find out!  And follow me on any social media platform  Facebook @Carter Crowley Instagram @cartercrowley_  

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate show, Carter Crowley goes over several different topics we faced in our business this week. The first being how we actively work to solve a seller's need to get rid of a property, even though it may not be a financial gain for us. The second being how you have to consistently make multiple offers a week to lock up deals. We went 0/10 this past week and it was a pain!  Third, how much is too much when you are following up with a seller? If they tell you to NEVER CALL AGAIN, you have pushed it too far and went from being helpful, to being annoying.  Lastly, should you ever defer to an expert or try and solve all your business issues by yourself? I give you insight as to what we did in our business just recently with a mobile home park we have under contract!  To connect with Carter online go to  Facebook @Carter Crowley Instagram @cartercrowley_

Of course, this does not mean that you shouldn't pursue this if that is what you wish.  I highly encourage everyone to get into real estate investing at whatever level they feel comfortable. I would just warn against some of the pitfalls that single-family house rentals have. The last thing we want is for you to be caught in a position where you own a house that is causing more headaches than what it is worth.  Our strategy is to flip/wholesale single-family houses and keep the large unit properties!  To connect with me online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest For More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over the simple structure for buying or passing on potential deals. If the property doesn't check the boxes of your buy criteria then it should always be a hard pass.  DO NOT try and finagle the numbers to work when it really isn't a deal. The last thing you want to do is lose money on a rental or flip.  We have lost tens of thousands of dollars & learned the hard lessons over the years so you will not need to!  To connect with Carter online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over the ins & outs of Flood Insurance on property. It is a vital part of your initial review of a property to verify if it needs flood insurance or not.  Flood insurance can be looked up by going to fema.gov & doing a quick search of the property address. If you are in a 100 or 500 year flood plain you WILL need insurance. But make sure you don't get a FEMA flood insurance policy for your property.    You will grossly overpay & spend unnecessary money. Talk with an Insurance broker and see if they can bind a policy through Lloyd of London.    To connect with Carter go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @ Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over why he LOVES Facebook ads for finding motivated homeowners. He had experienced the trails and tribulations with getting Facebook ads up & running, but now they are fully functioning in their marketing process.  Facebook is improperly used by so many real estate investors and that is why you SHOULD NOT copy their ads. Most of the time, the Facebook ads are not generating a profit & literally just costing money each month.  If you want to learn more about online marketing for real estate investors or connect with Carter go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @carter crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how newbie investors should add value to more experienced investors to learn the trade. The reason why so many new investors fail or never get started is because they are not willing to make the upfront sacrifice for future gain.  New investors need to be willing to put in the work for little monetary gain at first, and they will receive exponential benefits down the road. Just think if you shadowed an investor who owned 100 rental units for a few weeks. Would you gain knowledge on rental property? How about managing tenants?  The skills you will learn from shadowing experienced investors will be life changing advice!  To connect with Carter online  go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how the FHA flip rule can be a wild surprise if you aren't aware of it! The basic concept of the rule is that you cannot sell a property for more than 2x the original sale price within a 90 day window.  This means, if you buy a house for $50,000, you cannot sell it for over $100,000 within 90 days of the deed being recorded. We have run into this issue on numerous occasions and the best way to handle it is by letting you Realtor know you cannot take any FHA offers until day 91.  Again, you do NOT want to be caught in a situation where you accept an FHA offer before then because this will delay your closing process & potentially kill the deal!  To connect with me online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @carter crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over the basic concept of an LLC with real estate investing. Although it is not needed to buy your first property, if you start building a portfolio or doing more than 1 deal a year I would highly encourage it.  Different corporate entities will be beneficial for tax advantages as well as legal protection and you should discuss this with your accountant & attorney prior to setting up.  Currently, my business CB Home Solutions, is structured as an LLC operating as an S-Corporation.  If you have any questions or want to connect online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over 3 things you should NEVER bring up when in conversation with a seller.

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how to handle some common objections that most investors will face. Especially if you are cold calling homeowners, you need to know how to handle their concerns when they show face in a conversation.  The best thing to do is be truthful with them & upfront. You do not want to be caught in a situation where you made a homeowner feel uncomfortable on the phone & they report you to local authorities.  Be a problem solver!  To connect with me online https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over some of the unfound ways investors are profiting nowadays in their flips or rentals. As margins start to get tighter, investors need to become more creative! This leads to finishing off basements or attics. Adding value through moving walls or entire layouts of the property.  If you have a project you are considering, but don't know how to make the numbers work please reach out to see if we can guide you!  I can be reached at https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over some of the biggest mistakes newbie investors make. Are you guilty of overspending on a rehab just to make it look pretty? What about fudging your after repair value numbers to make the purchase price make sense?  In my experience, it is best to be conservative on all of your values, timelines, and materials used in your projects. You want the remodel to turn out nice, but there is no need to go excessive especially on an average grade house.  To connect with Carter go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @CarterCrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley  

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how you can find property owners contact information. Nowadays, mostly everyone's information is public & it can either be found or bought for the right price.  If you can find the property on a local tax assessor's website and then track the owner's information in an excel sheet, it will be easiest for skiptracing purposes.  Some of the resources I mentioned in this episode:  Skip Tracing: https://batchskiptracing.com/ Virtual Assistants: https://www.upwork.com/signup/home Connect With Carter: https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest For More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how you can multiply the amount of rental units you own using none of your own money. Although this may seem hard to believe, if you do a deal right, you can pay yourself several thousands of dollars for buying a rental.... That's right, you would get paid! Not the one making the payment.

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over a niche that very few investors are taking part in. A niche so lucrative that it requires very little marketing budget, and it will allow you to profit off of other people's work.  If you are not someone who wants to go out & get deals under contract this could be the other route you can take. So many wholesalers are in need of a marketer to sell their deals for top dollar.  To learn more about the topic or discuss things further please feel free to reach out at https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest For More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how to make profits even in a down economy. At the time of this recording, it is January 2021 and the local marketplace is still in dire need of nice real estate. Properties are selling over the asking price within a week on the market and it leaves a great place for real estate investors to profit.  However, you need to make sure you are not stuck with a property if the market were to drop all of a sudden. Buy property for well below market value & if you are buying income property, make sure it cash flows!  To connect with Carter further go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/  Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest For More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how to handle seller objections in live scenarios. Most of the time, the seller still has their guard up when you first get them on the phone. The most important thing to remember is you need to build enough rapport in order to break them down & see what is going on.  Some tips to remember are... - Always agree with the customer - Acknowledge the Object, Solve, and Overcome - Objections are thrown out because the seller DOES NOT trust you   If you need help with objections or want to role play out scenarios please reach out to me at https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/  or  Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over 5 critical tools you need in your REI business. Without these tools, your business WILL fail. The reason I know this is because I was not utilizing each tool and my business was suffering. I missed leads & deals that came in.  I never knew what was going on & was totally unorganized. Don't make my same mistakes and be sure to utilize these today!    Carter  

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over the easiest way to build your cash buyer list of investors. With the amount of technology in today's society, it is very easy to build a solid database of investors.  The number 1 resource I would utilize is the free Facebook Investor groups in your area. Do NOT pay for a list of cash buyers until you have done the leg work and can't seem to find any more. Relationships are what move this business forward and that is why it is so important to reach out to the buyers on a regular basis.   

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how he explains wholesaling real estate to a property owner. The best thing you can do is be upfront and honest with the owner. If you are honest, they normally find integrity in that & if you are confident you will get the deal done.    Wholesaling real estate can be very lucrative, but you must also get properties under contract at the right amount so you don't default on the deal. If you have a habit of contracting properties too high, you will end up creating a bad reputation within the industry.  To connect with Carter online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest For More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how to implement driving for dollars in your real estate business. Driving for dollars is simple to do & can be done before or after work if you are trying to grow your REI business.  What is Driving for Dollars?

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over the reason why some investors choose to move out of state. However, individuals don't realize the knowledge involved in investing in your back yard.  You know the neighborhoods you want to buy in, and the neighborhoods to avoid. If you start investing elsewhere, you will have to re-learn those skills and this will add months to the process!  My recommendation is to start off local until it is costing you business by not doing deals out of the area. You can grow a very healthy business with a population of 100,000-200,000 people.  To connect with Carter online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest For More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over how to properly manage & track new inbound leads. If you are running a 50+ deal a year business the strategy will differ drastically compared to the individual doing 3-4 deals in a year.  The most important thing is to track all the conversations you have and create follow-up tasks for the next conversation. If you fail to do this & sustain it over 5-12 contacts, you will lose deals to the competition.  Only you are responsible for your success in this business.    To connect with Carter online go to https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley

In this episode of the Invest for More Real Estate Show, Carter goes over which advertising will work best for your particular schedule.  If you are currently employed full time working 50-60 hour weeks you may not have the time to actively prospect for new business. You may want to instead try direct mail, or online advertising.  If you lack a budget to start marketing/advertising but have excess time, then it might be best to start with a prospecting approach.  Cold calling and texting are the two most cost-effective methods of generating significant profits in real estate investing. However, both take consistency and daily effort to sustain a constant lead flow.  Online ads such as Google PPC is great for targeting highly motivated sellers but also costs $2,000-$3,000 a month to run.  If you have questions or need direct advice please reach out to me online or on social.   Online at https://www.sellfoxvalley.com/ Instagram @cartercrowley_ Facebook @Carter Crowley
