Over 6 years of developing and building a owner finance real estate investment company. Starting from scratch he has figured out the best way to create and sell real estate notes. He currently "flips” 75+ houses and notes a year and are shooting for 100. He’s been in real estate for over 15 years and have done a little bit of every kind of investing. His passion is in the creation of real estate notes because it affects the most people. You are helping the seller by buying their house.  Then the neighborhood by rehabbing it. The buyer by offering owner finance and the investor by creating a good quality real estate note.  Erik was on episode 27 where we talked about Finding and Working with the “Right” Contractors   Erik is on track to do 100 deals this year.  Obviously, to do a 100 deals in a year, you’ve got to be good at marketing for motivated seller leads.  While Erik does do direct mail to find motivated sellers, he also uses other methods.    Today we talk about those other methods.  We focus today’s episode on using bandit signs.  Disclaimer: Check with your local city offices to make sure it’s legal for you to put signs out.  They are illegal in a lot of places.    He shares a great tip on getting 4x8 sheets of corrugated plastic that he cuts down into bandit signs that have odd shapes. These signs grab much more attention than printed signs.  He then writes on them with giant markers.   This is the way to go to get maximum benefit out of bandit signs.   The next thing we talk about is using newspaper ads to generate motivated seller leads.  While print newspapers are dying and don’t get the readership they used to, you can still get ads displayed in them and online as most have a website now.    The great thing about online newspaper classifieds is that you can now have your ad show to visitors that might not even go into the classified section of the newspaper.  There are a lot of possibilities here and not a lot of competition.   We also talk about using Facebook to target the exact demographics of people investors normally buy from.  This varies greatly by area and also by investor, so it’s more up to you to determine which demographics you should target.   Facebook is just another medium to have your message displayed in front of people that might need your services.  Why not take advantage of the power of Facebook ads to generate motivated sellers leads for your real estate investing business?

Mike Arch is a founder of Alamo Home Source and is partners with Erik Saengerhausen who joined us for episode 27.  Mike has been flipping for many years and has flipped hundreds of houses.  He currently focuses on creating and selling real estate notes.   On today’s episode, we talk about how to find the “right” real estate agents, attorney, title company/closer for your house flipping business.   This biggest take away from this episode is that taking the time to find the team members that care as much about your business as you do is paramount.  There are agents out there that always work with a sense of urgency and are great for real estate investors because you cannot steal in slow motion (meaning not to steal, but to get the great deals :)).    We discussed the best way to find agents doing great things in the areas you are investing or want to flip in and how to approach them so that they know who you are and can send you great deals.   It might surprise you to know that many agents that list a lot of houses don’t necessarily want their name on a junker house so they’d prefer not to list it.  If they know you are a ready and able buyer, they can let you know about those properties before they go on the market.  It’s a true win, win.   We also discussed how to find the right escrow officer or closer at a title company to close your transactions.  Find out what fees are negotiable as well as the tips that pros use to save themselves time and money.   We also discuss the right kind of attorney to find.  Obviously, you’ll want a real estate focused attorney.  We talk about how we both have spent too much money in the past because we didn’t know how to approach and talk with attorneys.  Don’t make the same mistakes, listen to this episode and gain the advantage.

Erik Saengerhausen has been developing his owner financing real estate investment company for over 6 years.  He and his business partner, Mike Arch, run Alamo Home Source.  They buy houses, fix them up and sell them with owner financing.  Then, they sell the notes to investors for incredible returns.   They currently flip more than 75 houses a year and are working up to 100 houses.  That’s a lot of fixing up of houses!  They know a thing or two about finding and working with the right contractors to be able to do that kind of volume consistently.   In this episode, we cover the definition of the “right” contractor for the typical real estate investor.  We also talk about what negative aspects to look for when trying to find the “right” contractor.   Erik has a different model for paying contractors than I do.  He has guys that he pays on a weekly basis rather than per job.  I hire on a per job basis so that the contractor is paid per job rather than for the amount of hours worked.    That’s an important thing to keep in mind — there isn’t simply one correct way to work with contractors.  There are lots of strategies for how to work with contractors and you should find the one that works best for you and your contractors.   Many times these discussions will focus on the point of view of the investor and not on what it means for the contractors.  We discuss how important it is to make sure you see things from the contractor’s point of view as finding and keeping the right contractors working for you can mean the difference between success and failure in this business.
