Excited to do another show with you all today with my buddy Larry Higgins from Skip Genie! Today, we are going to talk about data and how quality is better than quantity. That's the opposite of what most people do and unless you're a professional investor, then you know that's the right thing to do. It's going to be a good conversation!

Agent VS Non-Agent: 2:01: Ryan is the only one of the Good Stewards who's licensed, but Amanda has considered it. 4:00: Be careful of the trap of becoming an agent and getting commissions as kind of your source of income--commissions are quick short-term money. 6:45: If you are going “direct to seller” as a real estate agent, you have to tell any person you talk to that you are a realtor. 9:10: Being an agent is one of the very best ways to get into real estate investment. Property management is another good way. 11:01: In Oregon and Kansas City, they've built up a lot of great relationships with agents that bring us short sales, distressed property situations or other deals  that aren't going to work well on a market. They interim give us comps. Zillow Is Usually Off: 13:05: The MLS has the best data because they fine agents who don't upload correct information. Zillow on the other hand may utilize some of the MLS data, but they're largely using information from 3rd parties. 14:20: Zillow claims to be within 2% of the actual sales prices. But in our experience it's usually been 10% in either direction. One went as high as being 32% off. MLS Tools: 17:00: Ryan's favorite tool is utilizing the saved search function. Set a search for specific property types, listing expirations, etc and let the MLS basically prospect for you. 19:00: There's really just two ways to get deals on the MLS. Be the first to make an offer or look at data points, going back in time and making “offensive” offers. 22:09: The best strategy for newbie's on the MLS is setting a particular farm area, property type and then look for what listings have expired over the last 2 years. The best thing is that these properties have since appreciated and you can use that as leverage to get the deal. 24:20: The best feature of PropStream is the equity filter--Ryan uses it all the time. Larger Complexes and Commercial: 25:50: These types of properties are usually acquired through relationships. You can utilize the MLS to identify who the players of those deals are. See if there's one agent that usually gets those contracts. 27:10: You want to be the guy who's everyone's go-to in your market and get in on their pocket listings. If they know you'll close, you'll reap the benefits. Not Having Direct MLS Access: 29:17: In Eugene, OR, it's pretty easy to determine comps since the market is so small. 31:43: The Eugene team has even leveraged one of their broker relationships to mail letters in their name. He doesn't do much work, but he's someone we can bounce ideas off of on what it would take to get the property to top shape for a retail buyer. 35:00: Bottom line, if you want to treat this as a business, you have to have access to where all of the business has done. Tools Mentioned: 23:15: Skip Genie -- unlimited manual searches for skip tracing. 23:58: PropStream -- “The poor man's MLS.” Connect with the Good Stewards: Visit Our Website and Subscribe Email | Ask@TheGoodStewards.com Twitter | @TheGoodStewards Instagram | @GoodStewardsPodcast Facebook | @GoodStewardsPodcast

  Larry Higgins is not like most real estate investors - he's a young blood in real estate having only spent three years. When he started, he had an in interest in real estate so he can cushion his retirement. He never actually considered going full-time in real estate, though, at least not until he started working in a 9-5 cubicle job. It was at that point where he realized life is simply too short to waste away in front of a computer. He heard so much about being successful in real estate, so he decided to just jump right into it and see how far it would take him. He took a few seminars along the way, learned from the experts, got good at flipping houses, and never looked back. Today, Larry tells us how he got started, who mentored him and how it influenced his current focus, his strategy when it comes to finding gold in return mails, and his tips for beginners.   “I love vacant houses, but sometimes they're occupied.” – Larry Higgins   On Today's Episode of Flip Talk: His mentor and why it eventually made him focus on owner finance. His dilemma regarding how to find the best deals and how he learned to skip trace. What he says or writes to a potential seller to get them to call him. How he makes use of skip tracing in elevating his business and how it improved his profits. The one deal he wishes he never did. Some advice he would tell a younger version of himself. How you can utilize Google Street View in making your real estate business easier?   Larry's Tips for Getting into Real Estate Investing: Extricate yourself out of the daily minutia. Get a good mentor; it will open a lot of doors for you.   Resources Mentioned: Flipping Junkie Podcast Lead Propeller Landon Costa's YouTube – Master Wbz   Reach Out to Larry Higgins: larry@skipgenie.com Skip Genie - claim your one free skip search today!     Claim Your Free Surprise Gift!

Welcome back to the Real Estate Investing Profit Masters podcast! My guest today is really going to blow your mind. Greg Helbeck is only 23 years old but he is killing it with virtual real estate investing. That’s right - I said VIRTUAL. Greg is living in San Diego while working deals in New York and Texas. In fact, we’re doing a deal in Dallas together and that’s why I’m so excited to bring him on the show. Greg’s real estate investment strategy may surprise you. He’s out there using a genealogist to close on some real hairy deals. Greg breaks down his strategy for getting through some of the most dramatic real estate deals I’ve ever heard of. But what’s really going to impress you is how much he’s learned during this process. As investors, we know this business isn’t easy, and sometimes it isn’t very nice either. Greg had his own doubts about himself and his abilities simply because of his age. How did he overcome this age bias and really start believing in himself? You’ll have to listen to today’s episode to find out. But here’s a hint - having faith in yourself doesn’t come just from within. It comes from having spiritual faith and being confident enough to seek guidance from others. Whether that means hiring a mentor or listening to hundreds of podcast episodes, talking to others can help you reflect on your actions, learn from them, and really evolve as not only an investor but also in your daily life.

Today’s episode is a little bit different because I’m talking to Larry Higgins, a skip tracing genius. He’s got his own company – Skip Genie – where his team helps other real estate agents do all of their skip tracing. For those of you who don’t know, skip tracing is a way to find sellers. These sellers are usually hard to find because their properties are what Larry calls “distressed”. These are vacant properties, tax delinquent properties, or properties where owners are deceased and the estate is looking to sell. If you can skip trace correctly and connect with these unique sellers, you can catch some amazing deals. You’re going to be surprised at Larry’s investing profit strategy. He absolutely hates direct mailers (even though his company deals with a lot of mailers!), but his unique perspective really gives him up a leg-up in this industry. He can connect real estate agents like you with skip trace sellers looking to sell ASAP. His secret is automation. Your mailers combined with his searching techniques could really unlock a lot of possible deals for you by just connecting you with sellers you would have never known about otherwise. So listen to the podcast and hear what Larry has to say! He’s going to blow your mind with his skip tracing strategies. MINUTE MARKERS 4:13 - Larry joins us from Houston! 5:18 - How did Larry segue way from real estate to tracing? 7:08 - Skip tracing was a natural progression for Larry 8:36 - We’re both great friends with Mitch Stephen 9:43 - Larry’s skip tracing profit master investing strategy 11:20 - What’s Larry’s beef with direct mailers? 14:14 - Larry breaks down his skip tracing services 15:50 - The benefit of working with Larry Higgins 18:55 - What is skip tracing really? 20:04 - What kind of info does skip tracing deliver? 21:25 - How often does Larry find properties with skip tracing? 24:36 - How much mail does Larry process with skip tracing? 25:54 - Larry’s favorite books 27:53 - Larry’s favorite app is seriously Google Maps 28:21 - Larry only wants 6 hours of sleep 29:02 - What’s Larry grateful for? 32:03 - Get in touch with Larry at larry@skipgenie.com QUOTES I’m just really targeting what I go after.
