Fans boo players who take a knee before Dallas vs. Nashville in MLS There was a smattering of boos and one fan was removed from the stadium for throwing a water bottle when players from FC Dallas and Nashville SC collectively took a knee during the national anthem before their Major League Soccer game on Wednesday in Frisco, Texas.   ESPN- Dallas defender Reggie Cannon said he was disgusted by the boos at Toyota Stadium when players and officials kneeled to call attention to racial injustice. He said teammate Ryan Hollingshead turned to him afterward and said he was sorry.

Investors have been kicking this topic around for as long as I can remember.  Which is better for finding distressed properties?  Off market deals or the MLS? I suppose that depends on who you ask.   I know a lot of investors that get the majority of their properties off the MLS.  They have mastered the art of finding good deals. Some of them follow properties by days on the market, they create spreadsheets and wait for the seller to become a motivated seller. You know which camp I’m in. I love off market deals. Whether you choose to work off market deals or the MLS (or a combination of both) is very much an individual choice.  So, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each of these.   What are Investors Looking for? Investors are looking for distressed properties in most cases or other hidden gems where sellers have other motivations for wanting to sell quickly in this competitive seller’s market.  At the end of the day, real estate is a number’s game so you need multiple ways to find deals. There are so many different types of off market deals they are a great source for finding properties.    Finding Deals on the MLS The MLS or Multiple Listing Service is the most comprehensive database of properties for sale across the country. It is in fact not a single database, but it’s made up of hundreds of regional databases in the US.   In a world full of memberships today, the MLS was one of the first to adopt that model on such a huge scale.  You must be a licensed Realtor or broker (or their assistant), and you must pay to have access to the MLS.    The Pros of the MLS The information is generally accurate since agents are required to follow listing guidelines.  For anyone looking for property in a specific geographic area, the MLS is the ultimate database for doing that.     The Cons of the MLS There is a lot of competition on the MLS!  When you’re deciding on whether to focus on off market deals or the MLS, this is definitely one thing to consider.  For each property that is listed on the MLS, there are generally thousands of agents and investor/agents looking at the property It’s not uncommon in this seller’s market to see multiple full price (or greater) offers on a single property Properties listed on the MLS are much more likely to be “pretty houses” that will fetch higher prices.  You must be a Realtor to submit an offer     Off Market Deals Off market deals are everything else that’s not on the MLS.  There are a lot of places to look and many ways to find these deals.    The Pros of Off Market Deals It has always been my experience that there is much less competition for these properties. You can also find much better deals especially when it comes to distressed properties.   Real estate investors that take time to learn how to market to these motivated sellers have a huge advantage over their so-called “competition” who are waiting for a deal to come along on the MLS. We have the opportunity to scoop up these deals before they ever have a chance to be listed.     What About the Cons of Off Market Deals? This is a big one for some people: You have to learn to talk to sellers.   It makes some investors completely ignore off market deals which is one of the best sources of leads I have found.  Here are some of the things you’ll need to be able to do when working directly with sellers. Understand that these are not necessarily skills you have today, but ones you can definitely learn. When dealing directly with sellers you will need to: Build rapport with these folks so that you are able to have productive conversations with them Discover their real motivation for selling Negotiate with sellers Make offers  Follow up with them often for a long period of time, and often after they have initially said “no” to your offer Get good at changing their expectations when it comes to what they want or expects to get for their property Since these deals are not on a single platform like the MLS, you often need multiple strategies for finding and marketing to these folks.  Some of these leads can be found online, but others require a little more work which ultimately makes them much more valuable.    Which One Should You Choose?  Off Market Deals or the MLS? The honest answer is, that depends.  Many investors choose both, while others like me choose to focus only on off market deals.  One thing you need to learn to do other than talking to sellers is marketing if you want to work with off market deals.  What do you get in return when you do?   More profit!  There is almost always more profit in off market deals.    What’s in It for Sellers?  I am asked this question all the time. Why would a seller prefer to work with an investor when they are almost certainly going to get less money for the property?  Here are just a few ways they choose which route to go; off market or the MLS. Sellers can control the timeline.  They may need a longer closing time or extra time to move. They often have expenses they can’t pay like back taxes, so they are willing to settle for less cash just for convenience. These folks just don’t want to deal with listing the house. They don’t want to have people coming in and out of their house.  Skipping all the preparation to get their property ready to sell on the MLS is very attractive to busy people.  They want to be discreet about the sale of their property. This may be due to a divorce, financial problems, impending foreclosure, or even probate.    Is There a Downside for Sellers? There can be.  The downside for sellers is that there will be fewer buyers and they will probably get a lower offer for the property.    Final Thoughts…. There is no right answer when it comes to whether to focus on off market deals or the MLS (or a combination of both).  Choose what works best for your business.  Which do you prefer?   Get Your Freebie If you aren’t sure where to start when it comes to finding deals, be sure to grab your FREE copy of “25 Ways to Find Motivated Seller Leads”.    Be sure to stop by the Louisville Gal’s Real Estate Blog and pick up your freebies!

When a footballer hangs up their boots, the news reports often read like obituaries. However, it is only one part of their professional career that has passed away. And, like any personal upheaval, the full ramifications are rarely felt until a good few months have passed. Kevin Doyle was forced to retire from football in September 2017 at the age of 34 after suffering complications over concussions. An intelligent, hard-working striker, his 16-year career including successful spells at Reading, Wolves and, in the US, where our paths crossed at the Colorado Rapids. Doyle also won 63 caps for Ireland, scoring 14, with the highlight being his involvement in Euro 2012. Doyle’s decision to call time drew tributes laced a tinge of sadness, given the enforced nature of his retirement. But, a few months on, how is he feeling now? How is he reassessing his life and career? Where is he going next? And how does he feel as a former footballer?

Are you limiting your home search to only homes that are active on the MLS? There are other ways to find homes.Buying a home? Click here to search Northeast FL homes. Selling a home? Click here to use our FREE home evaluation tool.Call us at (904)-250-0805 for a FREE home buying or selling consultation.Are you limiting your home search to only those active on the MLS?When we’re working with buyers and we do our initial consultation with them, one of the first things we ask them is, “Are you only interested in homes that are active on the MLS?” Most of the time, they’re not quite sure what we’re asking that question for. Today, I wanted to share with you the fact that about 20% of all home sales involve homes that have never hit the market. They bypass real estate agents, going straight from buyer to seller and from seller to buyer. We want to show buyers how we can give them access to those homes that aren’t necessarily listed on the MLS.The question you have to ask yourself if you’re in the market to purchase a home is, “Am I only receiving active updates of properties that are active on the market right now?” The only way to know the answer is to contact the agent who has been sending you the listings and ask whether or not you’re being given access to off-market properties.20% of all home sales involve homes that have never actually hit the market. Here’s a quick story on how we were able to give someone access to a home that wasn’t active on the market. The buyer had been looking for months in a certain neighborhood, and nothing that they liked was popping up. They were waiting to see which homesellers were going to put their homes on the active market. But we didn’t want to wait any longer—since they knew that that was the neighborhood that they wanted to be in, we started knocking on doors of about five or six houses that they’d be interested in purchasing, even though those homes weren’t on the market. We asked the current owner if they would be interested in selling their home to one of our buyers. This is a common service we perform for our buyers to make sure that they’re not limiting their search to just what’s active on the MLS.If you’ve been looking for homes and are finding it hard to locate the right property, you may want to step back and assess whether or not you’re doing it the right way. Do you have someone helping you create some opportunities where inventory doesn’t exist? We’d love to answer any questions for you and show you how our team helps people finding properties that aren't active on the market. Feel free to contact us via phone or email any time.
