How to break the ice and negotiate with grumpy sellers that only want Zillow price

In the Gaming Hut we look at the Efficiency Paradox, where players who most effectively grapple with the choices of a scenario are the most likely to regard it as linear. A Zillow floorplan of a Glendora CA home winds up in the Cartography Hut at the behest of beloved backer Monster Talk, who has […]

Srinivas was previously part of a data mesh implementation as the Senior Director of Data Engineering at Zillow.Some key takeaways/thoughts from Srinivas' point of view:Data mesh advice to former self #1: Ambiguity is inevitable. Don't be afraid of ambiguity - it's often better than binary thinking - but also be as clear as possible on responsibilities even if the target outcome is ambiguous. Clear responsibilities at least drive things forward.Data mesh advice to former self #2: Involve product management way earlier. Every product owner needs to understand product ownership, prioritization, and what is the value to the business. And then communicate the value of the work to the business. If that value's not clear, why are you doing the work?Data mesh advice to former self #3: Create a small team, maybe 5-6 people, focused on enabling new domains to learn how to own their own data and create data products. Scott note: see episode 48 for how ITV is implementing this patternPrioritization - and communication around prioritization - is probably one of your most useful tools in data mesh. If you get good at that, teams will often buy-in more quickly. Data producers see changing priorities, not more work. Consumers have a clear understanding of what work is done when and why instead of silence or a link to a Confluence or JIRA page.Good data mesh product management isn't only focused at the data product level or the platform. You need to look at the bigger picture of how everything fits together to drive even more value. Make sure you have thought coverage of mesh-level product management. Make sure everyone is aligned on how data engineering work supports...

Oh, holy crap, is there some news out in the world today, bank failures SVB, the markets shifting high interest rates, what's going on? Welcome to the show, folks, if you have not been in one of these before, the reality is these are the opportunities that people in the real estate business in the industry wait for, because there's a tremendous amount of opportunity anytime there's a paradigm shift within the marketplace. And if you're a real estate agent, if you're a lender, what we're going to be chatting about today is why and how you should be putting on your damn investor hat on because the best deals in the real estate market are not had when everyone else is buying a bunch of houses, and they're paying peak values, the best deals are had when no one's buying, because that's when you buy at bottom. And we've seen this happen before about 10 years ago, give or take a little bit longer than that. And I'm not saying it's gonna be that big and bad. But I am saying that if you're an agent, you need to diversify. I see people going to sell solar right now I see people going to do so many different things. And one of the things that should always be something an agent, and most people in this business graduate towards is becoming an investor themselves. I mean, you come across these opportunities on a daily basis, why the hell are you passing those opportunities to other people versus just taking them on yourself and building wealth for your family. And be honest, you didn't get into this business to sell houses your entire lifetime you got in this business to build wealth, and be in the know, and leverage your knowledge to create whatever wealth it is you want. So what we have today is that so we're gonna be chatting about how do you become an agent investor? How do you become an How do you go from agent to investor? And how do you become an investor friendly, you want to be investor friendly, because who's gonna be buying in this next coming market, I'm gonna be primarily a lot of investors. That's why you wanna become investor friendly. And whether you're working with them, or you're taking them down yourself. It's a, there's a shortage of the amount of agents that really are investor friendly, and therefore there's a high demand for him. So we bring on a return guest. Coming back onto the show. And this is his niche. He's an investor. He's an agent, and I want to see exactly what he's doing and how he's doing it. So without further ado, let's go ahead and welcome Tom to the show. Tom. What's up, dude?Not too much. Thanks for having me on. Definitely interesting times right now for sure.Why don't you tell everyone who you are, where you're at what you're doing. And then I got all kinds of questions for you.Yeah. So again, my name is Tom caffarel. I got started, like a lot of people as a real estate agent. And it really wasn't until I started investing in real estate that I got traction when I was an agent, like a lot of agents, I was on what they call the real estate rollercoaster, which is like, I'd have a really, really good month, make 10 or 15, or $20,000, think I'm going to make a million bucks that year, then not sell a house for two or three years. And I went through that for a while where it was just like, I feel really good didn't have anxiety that I was never going to have another deal again. And it wasn't until I did my first investing deal a wholesale deal, where I made $115,000 That really, my perception about what can be done in real estate has changed. Since then, I've fixed and flipped over 1200 homes, I've got a 300 unit rental property portfolio, I've got a real estate brokerage that focuses on helping agents achieve financial freedom through investing in real estate. And really my main motto for kind of what you alluded to is like sales will make you a living, you can make good money as an agent, but investing will make you wealthy. And as a broker owner, every agent that walks through the door tells me they got into it, they got into being an agent because they want freedom. Yet, most of the time, they're running around like a chicken with their head cut off. If one of their buyers wants to see a house 200 miles away from where they're sitting, they're gonna jump the next day to go there, whether they're going to make money on it or not. So it becomes one of these things where you think you're getting into real estate for freedom. But a lot of agents never achieve it because they never invest. And you alluded to, you know, selling solar, and all of these other things that people do. You don't need to do that if you have one or two or three cash flowing property. So there's a lot of unique strategies that we use in order to do that. And he talked about going from agent to investor, I like to blend the two I like to be both and maybe sometimes when somebody does so well investing, they stopped selling homes, but I like to be able to take the approach of doing both because I think they kind of like adds fuel to the fire.So I love that but I'm sure I'm not sure how your business model is set up. But I'm guessing that you lead generate using your investor offer and then when 90% of them don't work and then you turn on your real estate agent hat.Exactly. So and we do it for for two ways, right so we do it for quick turn hits of income fix and flip and wholesales but then we also do it to buy houses And one thing that people kind of get confused when they think about buying and holding properties is they think, Well, why would you ever need to generate a lead in order to buy and hold the property? The reality is you don't, unless you want to accelerate quickly, let me just explain that, you know, real real quick so your audience can understand this. If you go right now and you buy a multifamily or you buy a rental property on the multiple listing service today, with the market potentially falling, or let's even just say it's flat, the next time that you're going to be able to get money out of that house, this can be 3456 years later. So one of the reasons why he say they don't invest in real estate is because they don't have money. But you don't need a lot of money to invest in real estate when you're buying these properties at a discount. So let me just give you like a simple example, let's say that a property would be listed on the MLS for $500,000. Let's say you generate an off market opportunity to buy that property for 400. rather than you having to wait two or three or four years to refinance and pull an equity line, you might be able to do it in a year. So it's it accelerates the amount of properties that you're able to buy cars, once you have two or three or four assets. Now every year or two, you're able to pull equity out of each one of those for down payments on more properties. But if you're always paying retail full market value, that's going to be a really, really slow process. Not that you can't get there. But it's a difference between becoming financially free in three to five years, versus like getting there in 20 years. And of course, I'm sure all of your listeners and myself, we want this thing as fast as we can.Yep, I think the biggest struggle, I think a lot of people have those making the mental shift of going from, because you're you get your license, and then you just get brainwashed into this highest and best, highest and best, highest and best, highest and best. And then real estate agents just believe that they have to sell the property to highest and best but you guys have to realize that guys like Tom don't exist. If not everybody wants highest and best. Some people just want to get the hell out of the house. And we don't we fail to realize that sometimes the highest and best offer for somebody is accepting a cash offer and get them out of whatever situation they're in. And that's where a lot of this stuff starts. I think agents feel that they might be taken advantage of somebody or something when they blow by a house. And then they believe that they have this fiduciary duty. But folks, you don't ever do business at scale or anything unless you're truly I believe in unless your heart surely in the right place. And you're actually helping people because an investor with a very bad name doesn't last long.So let me tell you the story about how I did my first deal. I'm just going to relate to that I was just going to ask you about Yeah, so that deal where I made $115,000 on it. I showed up as with my agent hat on not my investor hat on. I knocked on the door. The seller opened the door, she barely would let me in. I had to, like really convince her to let me in. I'm walking around. I'm seeing that a bunch of junk everywhere. I'm not thinking anything of it. I'm thinking this is going to be a great listing for me, I sit down at her kitchen table, walk through all the listing stuff she has no you don't understand. I want $300,000 For this house. And I do not want to show anybody You're lucky I let you in because you seem nice. But looking back, I mean, it's very simple situation. She was a hoarder. She said I lived here my whole life. I don't want anybody to know what the inside of my house looks like, if you can produce me an offer for $300,000 I will sell. If not, then I'm going to find somebody else who will. And that was like, you know, a big, you know, red light. A lot of times they don't happen to that extent where somebody's so explicit, but it took being that explicit because it was my first deal. I probably ran across other opportunities like this that I missed. So I had an option, okay, yeah, you could try to list the house. But she told me she's not listing the house. So it was either me gonna figure out how to do an investment deal that way, or somebody else was going to do it. And it's not most most sellers, like most sellers, are looking for highest and best. But I can tell you 101 reasons why some sellers choose knowing that they can get more money to take a cash offer. Sometimes it's literally as simple as that I had one the other day, seller was older. She's lived in the house for 40 years. The markets really tight still, there's still not a lot of inventory out there. She said, I'm willing to sell for x, but I want you to be able to buy my house when I tell you. And the reason is because she was moving close to her daughter 60 miles south. She wants to take her time. She wanted to say I see a property I like tomorrow buy my house tomorrow. If I see it in nine months, nine months and you know this type of stuff is it's common for us because we go on so many appointments, but it's something that like, I don't know, like you said brainwash like I I think it's just a lack of awareness that like, there is a market out there. And again, this market winning exists like all of these companies, these home buying companies, they wouldn't exist. If the seller didn't want this as an option, and five to 10% of all sellers do.Yep. And I with what you guys are gonna see right now, like, the vast majority of real estate agents right now don't know what a shift is. They haven't been around in the market that they have. I think someone gave me a stat on one of the shows, I forget which one but I think he or she said it was over 90% or something like that. They don't know what a shift is. And they just you don't know what you don't know. But like, what I believe is going to come down the pipe is I think there's going to be distressed I mean, this is distress is where the buying opportunities go. Because these investors, whether it's Tom or somebody else, they're buying properties that are either in probate, well, your death there, or they're upside down or their financial issues, or there's usually something else there they need to move. There's a there's a why. And there's a an issue and underlying issue that the person selling needs to have resolved. And it's not always top dollar. Go ahead, Tom.Well, no. Another thing just on that point that we're seeing now that we haven't seen in a long time is people who have their houses listed calling us and three, so agents, you're talking about agents not seeing a shift, right? Agents have been able to go into the living rooms of sellers for the past three, four or five years and say, Hey, you don't need a cash offer, because I can get you top dollar in 45 days. And that's basically been true for a while now. As the market starts to change, they go to list the house you go wait, I think getting off for the first weekend, you told me that this to close in 45 days, or 30 days or whatever the amount of days. Oh, wait, there was an inspection, the buyer backed out, like a year ago at this time, or maybe even like 18 months ago, at this point, spec, things weren't even happening. Right. So like people were sellers were almost getting similar to cash offers on the retail market. But now that's changing. So there's a there's a whole pocket of sellers right now that they're aging sometimes are believing that they can get them out of that house in 45 days. And they're calling us mad at their agent saying, my agent told me my house would be sold by now it's price, right? Why isn't it selling? Can you time was important to me? Can you make the timeline still happen? And it's not like that's happening in droves right now, because the market hasn't shifted to like a crazy extent. But it is starting to happen now that the market is shifting.That's a really, really good point. How are you? Are these opportunities just coming across your desk? Or what do you How are you finding them and say, Okay, great. I'm an agent, what am I doing off the market? How am I finding these properties? Like, am I just waiting on the MLS? Or on the pop up? What are you doing?So there's a lot of different strategies that people can take, I'm going to tell you kind of my strategies. But one thing to kind of keep in mind if you're an agent, and you don't want to like try to generate a lot of these opportunities. The first step I think is to have awareness that they exist, and to be able to take advantage of them when they're put in front of you. Like you may go on a seller appointment or somebody in your office might have a listing or somebody might call you at least a couple times a year agents will have this stuff just put right in their lap. Yeah, so keep in mind I'm going to talk about the strategies but keep in mind that you don't need to necessarily be a seller lead generation machine to take advantage of some of these opportunities but the way that I do it there's there's a few different ways most of them are paid you know, I went from door knocking myself and cold calling myself and doing kind of like the heavy lifting myself when I had no marketing budget to start and doing things that that need money that require money, but when I first started, I would just go out and knock on doors and this is stuff again that agent should do anyways in order to get listing opportunities. But I would always go in with a cash offer first, because I felt that even if they know an agent, they want to know my cash offer. So I always got in the door a little bit better having the cash offer. So I used to door knock and I used to cold call. But then once I started getting some money I started to invest that money into mailers are always huge pay per click Facebook ads, TV. And one thing that I've done like with my own brokerage and that any agent can do is network with other agents and tell them that you're an investor. Most agents know a ton of agents. I mean, it goes without saying you're co brokering with people. You're in office meetings and one of the best ways to get these type of opportunities brought to you is just to let other agents know Hey, you bring this deal to me if I flip it you're gonna get the listing back or if you bring it to me I'm not going to co broke it and giving them and you know a Reason to kind of bring it to you. But it's not much different really than generating a regular traditional opportunity. Like you can spend time you can door knock cold call text, all of that stuff network, social media, or you can pay you can do mailers, or pay per click, or Facebook ads, or TV or radio and all that good stuff. And it just boils down to do you have the money to make your life a little bit easier? Or are you in the face still, like I was in the beginning? What you needed to do the sweat equity component?Yep. So you're saying I have to work, man. That's, that's tough. That's tough. Yeah, I mean, if you guys have money, then you like it, when people with video all the time. They're like, I just did a presentation this morning. And then someone's like, how much videos should we do a month? And I'm like, Well, that depends on what your budget is, you know, and what you're willing to take on. If you wanted to hire us to go out and outsource all that crap, great. We can do it. But the cost would be this. If you don't have the amount of money to invest in editing and distribution, all that other stuff, then you have to learn how to do it yourself. Either way, not doing it at all, is not an option anymore. No, no differently than than this. So this is all really, really good. Now, I want to go through and have a couple more questions is when you show up with a cash offer, I want you to walk everyone through conversion because most people and agents I believe, like they're scared to insult somebody. Right? And that's it's I was too before I was ever I've ever bought a house or anything if like, I wouldn't even be I was such a I was such a sissy that I hated. And just I hate sales guys. Like I hate sales, like when it comes to negotiation. I just don't like arguing with people. It's just not my personality. And I think a lot of people are sort of wired that way. But how do you get the Coronas to go out and present a low cash offer? Walk me through like your process? Pretend I'm a seller, for example.Yeah, for sure. So the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to walk you through what the difference in the process is between a traditional listing and a cash offer. And I'm going to make you tell me through a series of questions, what you want, are you looking to get top dollar to deal with a little bit of a hassle, have people in your house and all that stuff and get top dollar? Or do you want a more easier convenient route? Cash, no contingencies, no inspections, choose your closing date, I'm gonna explain to them like, before I even run my numbers, there's a price to pay for that service, right? If you want a service, you have to pay in order to get it. And I get them to tell me that they understand this, right? You understand that? If I'm not going to do an inspection, I'm gonna buy it cash, I'm going to closing your timeframe, all of that good stuff that you want, you have to get less money for it. Right? There's there's no such thing as getting top dollar and getting all those those benefits. Do you understand that? And like, if they don't understand it, I will not give a number until they understand it. And maybe I'll talk to them for 15 minutes about the difference. Until they understand that I'm not giving a number because if they don't understand the benefits, then it doesn't make sense. If they don't value the benefits, I'm not giving them a cash offer either. So if they say well, I don't care about no inspection, I can wait as long as I want. I'm willing to do repairs and go cash offers not for you. Let's talk about getting you top dollar, right because a cash offer all that's going to do is make you think that I'm trying to rip you off. I'm not I'm trying to get you what you need. What do you need? So, um, let's just say that they get to the point then that they're like, Yes, I need a cash offer. I want a cash offer, I'm willing to pay for the benefit, etc, then I'm going to start to talk to them about pricing. And what I like to do as much as I can is get a price from them first. Now, that's not always possible. It's very easy to say that. But I'll do it in a different way. Like I'll use like a price anchor and the price anchor. I love to use as the assessed value. The assessed value in my market tanked smart.Pay attention, guys. It's really smart. So I like what happened to Zillow value. I actually go out and get that one because I have one on Zillow too, but it's never really that accurate.Well, you know what, like, no matter what, no matter what price anchor you use, it's going to be it's not going to be you saying that that's the number, right? So yeah, that'swhat I love about it. And that's great. So they can't like if you're not the bad guy.If you say, Hey, your assessed value is 300,000. They can't get mad at you because you just read it off the tax card, right? So I'm not going to tell them the value of their house is 300,000. But I'm going to say your assessed value is 300,000. Like how do you think your property compares to that? And almost immediately, you'll kind of get a read because they're either going to be like, oh, like I think my property somewhere in that range, maybe a little higher, or they're going to do the retail response, which is like my house is worth so much more than that MSA. You're right it is like listening Yeah, we have to go this other way. Yeah. So, you know, to me, like, what I tried to do more than anything else is like you go to the doctor's office, and the doctor is gonna say, hey, you know, are you ready for a pinch, pinch coming, whatever getting somebody prepared. It's called an upfront contract and sales, I will not give them an offer until they say, Yes, I'm ready. And I think that they're ready. And again, if they are just giving every single sign that they want top dollar, I'm not going to try to convince them that they should get a cash offer. And I may leave not even giving them a number. Or I may leave, the other thing that I do, if I think it's more retail is I might give a range. Rather than saying, like, you know, My offer is going to be 300,000, I might say, like, My offer is going to be in the low threes or, you know, low to mid threes, just to kind of like, answer the question about what the offer would be. But then go back to retail, again, I'm trying to buy the house. And so as I'm saying all of this, I'm only focusing a little bit more on retail, because that's typically where things go. Because the misconception that a lot of sellers have when you present a cash offer is cash offers going to be basically the same amount as what the retail price is going to be. Maybe you deduct a commission. That's kind of what they're thinking. And, and that's not their fault. It's just that they have never gotten a cash offer before so they don't understand. So yeah, I mean, once somebody tells me that they really want a cash offer, and it makes sense for them to get a cash offer, then I feel more comfortable because somebody may push back and say, your offers way too low. But if I really understanding, I know how important a cash offer is to them. Let's say they tell me a simple, simplistic thing. I need to be out of my house in 30 days, there's an auction, like, I don't care what you think your house is worth, the only way you're getting that is through a cash offer process. So depending on the situation, I feel good, like I don't feel like I need to have guts to tell somebody that because it's actually in their best interest.explaining all their options. Yeah, and its pros and cons. Pros pro this, that's it.And really like more than anything else seeking to understand what's important to them, so that you can help advise them on what actually makes the most sense. And I think when you go into that, it with that it's a lot harder for somebody to get mad at you. Because you've been transparent and you know, let them know. I mean, of course, there are situations where you walk in and you just know it's a cash deal. You know, maybe it can't even find the ex traditionally. And they say well, my property's worth 450. And you're like, well, it doesn't matter what it's worth. It has to be a cash buyer because the septic failed or this happened or that happened and it just needs to go cash.Yep. So if I'm, what's the first thing I think knowledge, you sort of said it like, you need to know how this stuff works. Because you're right, every agent comes across one or two home runs a year, when you're not looking for it. A lot of the investors out here in San Diego wasn't quite this way in Chicago, but in San Diego. Most of the investors I know out here get all of their deals from realtors. Yep. And they just position Hey, use my cash offer and they get introduced to them. And many of them are realtors, too. Yep. And yeah, it's very simple. Like, hey, double ended deal, I don't want to commission on it. Or let me be your hero with a cat my cash offer. That's really what it comes down to you guys. So it's not like you have to overthink the the marketing of this you can talk to a lot of people just like you would if you're just a regular real estate agent just start talking to the right ones. But don't overthink this at the same time. What what a strategy wise, what do you see coming on right now and just conditions? Or do you like the flip market right now? Do you like the whole market? Like what do you anticipate in with this bank failure? And then what does this bank failure, in your opinion have to do with the investing market going forward?Well, the first thing with the bank failure that has changed pretty much on a dime is interest rates. So you know not to get too technical about this. But it seems like we might have peaked with interest rates, which in the end of 2022 was a real concern for both the residential market and of the flipping market. You know, there were definitely deals that I had out there sitting a lot longer when rates went from 3% to 7%. And people were just in shock. And so now the rates of dip back down and they seem like they've plateaued, the interest rates are a little bit more normalized. I don't love the flipping conditions that exist right this very second, unless you get a really good deal, which you always can. So what I kind of look at is if I'm going to do a flip deal right now, and I do over 100 a year so I still flip very actively. I want something that can be very short. in duration, because there's so much uncertainty about what's coming, that I don't want to be flipping in a different market, I don't want to be selling in a different market than I started again. So most of the stuff that we're focused on and that we advise people to focus on is, can you get anything out in like 45 days, if you can't, this might be the time to pass on it. Because the wind probably on the pricing wind isn't at your back right now, where it was a year to two years ago, with buy and hold. There is, it is always a good time to buy and hold. And I believe a lot less than the timing of buying and holding, than flipping. So flipping the asset valuations are so important, because if you get that wrong, you're losing money. Now, some people will argue, well, you know, rental properties are overvalued right now, as we're talking. And I don't necessarily disagree with that. But I think if you get them off market, and you get them at a discount, the key for buying and holding, which is the real strategy, like it's cool to flip houses, but you really want passive long term wealth. And the way that everybody gets it is bit by bit. So unfortunately, unless you're worth, you know, 20 plus million dollars, you can't really time the market on rentals, it's not really possible, because unless you have this pot of gold on the side, and you go, Oh, it's time to go in. It's bit by bit by bit. So you want to just accumulate, you always want to be in the accumulation phase for rental properties, but making sure in my opinion that you are able to get them at a discount up front. So that you're always able to tap that equity in the not too distant future. So I think you always need to be accumulating.So really good way to put out it. So never scared to buy hold. Just make sure the numbers make sense. Because you're always gonna win in the long run. But if you're flipping Be very careful. 45 days and that means no big projects. No huge projects. Focus on cosmetics, quick turns, stay away from structural. A lot of that additions stuff of that nature, guys. Very well done, man. Any closing thoughts? I don't have any more questions for you. I think you laid it up pretty, pretty damn nice. You have a Facebook group, I believe that you carry this conversation on. Do you want to start or where that's a?Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think the biggest thing, you know, for me, like for a parting word is just to say, most agents know that they should invest in real estate, but 90% of them don't. And the key really is to get educated and to start by learning. Okay, and there are so many objections I get every day, why agents can invest and don't have money, now's not the right time, all this stuff. Put all of that aside, right now, if you understand that you need to invest, start by getting educated, you don't need to, if you come to a two day event, if you listen to a podcast, you don't need to actually take a whole bunch of action, but you need to take the action of getting educated. Because even if you think you're going to be get ready to do something in six months, start the educational process to do it better now. And like you mentioned, I've got that Facebook group that people can visit at WWW dot agent investor.com. I do a live stream every Tuesday at 11 o'clock, all the contents free. I do have you know, additional resources like if people want more one on one mentorship, but I try to give away all the content that people would need without ever having to kind of meet me in person or shake my hand or get on the phone with me. But of course we have next level steps for people that do want to get more involved in active with me. But yeah, www dot agent investor.com.Love it, dude, keep doing what you're doing. And folks, hopefully this episode opens your eyes a little bit into it might be time to shift shift with the market. And sometimes when shifts happen you have to shift with them. That's all I can tell you in 20 years of doing this and experience I can just tell you ride the waves ride the waves ride the waves, and the real estate mark is always changing. So you just have to change with it. Whoever does always succeeds. So ones who don't, that I see go out of business or churches and other career or just so on and so on.

A lot of new real estate investors make the mistake of believing it's passive income. Doing real estate the right way means being involved--especially if you're new to investing. And you should treat it like any other entrepreneurial venture because it's a business like any other.

Hiring or partnering with someone with different strengths than you could be the best business decision you'll ever make.

This tale starts with a problem Kehan Zhou found when trying to buy a hobby farm. Zillow didn't have good search options for land and LandWatch.com was even worse, so Kehan ventured off to combine computer vision technology and satellite imagery to create a new rural property search platform, Terrascope. But the investors wonder if this innovative technology is wasted on the wrong customer. Today's investors are Jillian Manus, Charles Hudson, Elizabeth Yin, Mac Conwell, and Neal Sáles-Griffin.

As he tells it: "I've always been interested in real estate as a career. But I didn't ultimately decide to become a Realtor until I had a bad experience as a first-time home buyer. After going through that, I thought to myself that there has to be a better way. That's when I knew that I wanted to help other people avoid what I had gone through."

Meanwhile, the number of young adult buyers with an co-borrower over the age of 55 has spiked since 2021,  according to Freddie Mac. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-02/will-home-prices-fall-first-time-buyers-face-a-costly-housing-market?leadSource=uverify%20wall*** Few Americans lived on the streets in the early post-war period because housing was cheaper.

Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get started.What's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome to their episode of the real estate marketing, dude, podcast. Books we're chatting about.Today is a very important topic, I get this question quite a lot, but maybe not as much as our guest. And people always asked me like, kind of, what should I do with like, what do I do when I have a site? First they asked me is do I need a site? And I say, yes, absolutely. If you want to have any type of an online presence, you need something, because people will go visit your site before they ever call you because they want to see what you're all about. They want to see if they can relate to you and they're whatnot. But beyond just having a glorified online business card, which a lot of people do in this market, how do you actually have a site that converts? What do you do with it? How do you massage it? How do you work it out, like, if I want a six pack, I'm gonna do less situps. And I'm going to eat healthier, probably stop drinking beer and doing all the above? Well, if you want your site to, you know, start spitting you out business, you need to add to it as well, no differently. Like I have this podcast, you're listening to this podcast right now, because we're getting about 40 to 45,000 listens a month. Thank you to you guys. And a result of this content that goes on my website drives people back to our website. And some of you might schedule a demo with a marketing dude this week, because of this podcast. That's what content creation is. But I create content to consistently add value to our audience. And to keep people coming in this is marketing the same way that we teach you how to market your business on the show, and as a client and whatnot. So what we're gonna chat about today is that subject, what can you do? What can you do? What can you push? What what do you do with a website? Let's just sit there. You just look at it. Do you talk to it? How do you massage your website? Make it work for you? Right? So I couldn't think of a better guest. I want to introduce our guests today. My friend Mr. Jason Fraser with lead pops, Jason wants to say hello to everybody. Hey, what's up, everyone, I'm excited to be here. Thank you. Thank you, my friend for having me on. I appreciate it. watched everyone a little bit. We are your frickin marketing whiz. He's like the mark. He's like a genius at a lot of his marketing ways. And he might be too modest to tell you that. But once you tell him a little bit about your background, cuz you do a lot in the mortgage space and whatnot. But tell us a little quick. And then we'll get into thisshow. And I want to ask you a bunch of questions on how you're making websites work for people that create clients. Yep, absolutely. Yeah. So my name is Jason Fraser. I go but just by Fraser and I've been in the industry since oh nine. I was born into the housing industry. My family owned a mortgage company and also had a family members who were real estate agents as well. So the housing industry is in my blood, but I didn't get into it till oh nine. Prior to that I worked for Peter Thiel, who some of you may know as the founder of PayPal. So I come I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area. So I came from Silicon Valley, technology startups venture capital world, that's kind of where I lived and then decided to join the family business in oh nine. And I've been a part of that I've held several executive roles. Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Strategy Officer,CTO, I've run sales teams are in Consumer Direct Marketing, I've coached or I am a coach, and I have coached both on the real estate side and the mortgage side. And right now I am the EVP of growth for lead pumps.Cool, man, so he has a lot of experience. Right now you guys are doing a bigthing and in showing people on how to deal with their sites I want to start with with this and get your first opinion. We're start at the very basics. Do we need to have a website in our business? Do a mortgage brokers or lenders or real estate agents? If you're an independent contractor or small business, do you need a website? Yes, you absolutely do. And it's it's funny look. And hopefully, if you have a lot, I mean, it sounds like you got a good amount of listeners per month. And so I probably don't have to let people know this. But if you are one of the Yeah, buts like, oh, yeah, but I'm doing this and yeah, but I'm doing this and yeah, but yeah, you need a website, right? I mean, you're you're absolutely insane. If you don't feel that you need a website right now, I'm not saying you need our one of ours that we do, because honestly, we're not a website company. But but we provide that but because it's important, but you absolutely need a website. It's it the we're going we're not backtracking from an online world, right. You need to your online property and websites, how you do it. And, and so, you know, I know we're gonna talk about a lot of different things. But this is what I want every listener to write down right now because it's going to be the foundation of everything I talked about because look, there's alwaysis a reason to say, hey, but I could do this, I could do that. But here, just because you're getting business does not mean that you're losing business. So I'm going to say that again, just because you're getting business does not mean you're losing business, right? And so when you don't have an offer, when you don't have a website, you're absolutely missing out on opportunities. There's no debate in that at all. Look, if websites didn't matter, you wouldn't how many times you go to website in a given day? Right? Case Closed? Let's let's, let's stop playing around with that websites are important. But wait, I, I have a pageon my broker's website.Why isn't that suffice? Well, well, actually, there's two things for that. One is, you can have that. But what I will say and I said this, even during recruiting calls and whatnot to other loan officers, is that you're not the lenders brand. The lenders brand is you so you're the face of everyone you're talking to. If I'm talking to real estate professionals, you're the face of a kW and exp real what wherever your compass whoever brokerage and look, even though they may have a big bite, and people have heard that name before the consumers and dealing with them, their consumers dealing with you, right, and if you're a mortgage professional, guess what agents consumers, they're dealing with you and right and, and I can tell you 100% And the mortgage space, there's only one main mortgage brand, and that's rocket. But when people referring people, they don't say hey, I'm referring movement mortgage, I'm referring loan depot, they're not referring the company that referring you. And and here's the plain truth, even if you love the company, chances are you're not going to work there forever. So you never want to tie everything to your brokerage or your your lender, yes, have that directory page, use it and get an actual we have a solution to help lenders because lenders are definitely not leveraging those those pages. But you need to have your own property where you could tell your own story that can be moved with you otherwise, because guess what, what happens if forget, let's say you don't leave them What if they go out of business and look in this market, we're seeing a lot of people kind of go belly up. And then what happens then if all you've been using is something that you don't control. And if you don't control the way people can get to you, then you don't have a business?Absolutely, you're the brand. No one's hiring the bank. That's why the worst thing you could do as an independent contractor is make your broker more money or more brand. The best thing you could do as an independent contractor is make your broker more money or more brand. You can't really go wrong either way. Exactly. But you are the brand, guys. So thank you for reinforcing that message. Alright, so yes, spokespeople are gonna go to your site to check you out first, especially if you don't know them, you know, maybe not so much in the relationship game. Oh, I trust my god, trust by God, great. But let's be honest, even the people that trust you still go to your website? You just don't know it yet. Because they're just sort of like, dude, do I really trust Mike? I mean, last time I saw him, he was pretty drunk. Am I gonna trust him with his house? Like, sometimes you need that little more professional? Not that I got wrong. But you know what I mean? Yeah. But people know you personally don't always know you don't always see you in the same light professionally. And it's more of an authority type thing. So walk me through it, though. Where do most of us go wrong? Because it we both agree on this guy's you need to say, yep, stop playing the game. If you don't have a site, you don't have a brand. If you don't have a brand, you don't have a business, and you're just another salesperson chasing the challenge, just a matter of time till shift takes you out. And that's what's happening right now across the industry. So let's go through and talk about how many people that have a brand during the shift.Are weathering the storm a little bit better? I mean, have you ever noticed like everyone who has a site has a lot of content on it? You see, I'm pretty active consistently on social media, their marketing consistently? Like, sure business might be down a little bit, but they're not starving. Is that a coincidence? Is that what is that? No, I mean, absolutely not. And look, there's what I always say, because as a coach, in fact, I just had this as a call a few days ago, is that it's never just one thing. It's a combination of things that you do from a marketing perspective, right? So let me put it this way. If you signed up with lead pops today and got our website and funnels, that would do absolutely nothing for you. Right, I'm gonna say that again. It will do absolutely nothing for you, right? You got to drive traffic to it, you got to use it, you got to put it in your marketing strategy, you got to have a plan for it. You got to do all these different things. And so what I would say for those that are weathering the storm and they say well, I know this guy knew that his website doesn't look nice or whatever and we'll get into that of what matters on the website and what doesn't but the but the point is is that the people that I see it hands down the people that I see that have weathered the storm that are doing deals in markets where someone else some someone's telling me oh, there's no deals that have there's no purchase business. Oh, really? Oh, then how come you know how come Doug's got 12 loans in his pipeline, right like and six of those are under contract and in a market that you told me is doesn't have any inventory and not deals because of marketing, right? And that takes all fourMost people think of marketing they're think, Oh, I gotta be on social media marketing is flyers. Marketing is Billboards, radio marketing is talking to freaking people at the supermarket is doing anything and everything to have conversations with people. That's what increased conversations equals opportunities. Right. So like, that's what people need to understand is the people that are actually doing okay right now is because it's, it's a consistent long term effect, right? Like they're trading on stuff that they did 90 days ago, 120 days ago, two months ago, two years ago, right? Those are the people that are okay, right now I have, I have a friend that just got his loan officer license like six months ago, and here and then we're in a pretty damn competitive market. And he's doing deals that I know other people have been in this business for two years that are are dying. And it's like, what's the difference? Oh, maybe because he's on social media everyday doing videos, how he's talking, he's going out there, he's doing anything and everything to create to create a sphere of influence, right. So that's what people are doing. And yes, driving traffic back to his website, so that you could capture that information.The only recession proof or shift proof business model is your personal brand, you guys, you can't like not feed the beast, because when you don't, and you rely on lead sources or other things you don't control, like a lot of the people. And I don't know how you might see this more in the mortgage space. But I know a lot of people who are relying on Zillow leads or realtor.com leads once that market shifts and the consumer mentality shifts, well, you can no longer rely on that source of just independent business, because it just you know, the numbers just don't work anymore. So you can never rely on stuff you can't control. And it's only a matter. It's a house of cards waiting for when you do that. And I like how you said that it's a cumulative cumulative that I say that correctly approach to marketing, it's direct mail, it's flyers, it's the picture you have, it's the consistent of videos you're doing. And it's a it's an overall communication strategy. Marketing is not advertising, is it? No, advertising is a form of marketing. But can you explain the difference so that people see that? Because you can't you do a little bit of both, right. ButI think people often confuse that. Yeah, cuz so I mean, to put it simply, right, it's because in look, we could get into the full stack of marketing, but advertising is AP, is that, right? Like, it's putting your replays on a billboard, it's doing something at a supermarket, it's, it's running ads, right? That is advert to putting something in a magazine or a paper or whatever that is advertising. That's a part of marketing. But like I said, marketing is you having conversations marketing is, is an extension of sales. In fact, I always like break down those barriers, sales is marketing, marketing and sales, right? Anytime you're having a conversation, guess what you're selling yourself, you're selling your services, you're selling your products, that is marketing, right? Like it's putting any type of positive and positive spin or diagnosing of like a challenge and solution to someone so that you can bring them in and help them right. So that's the difference. Really, when it comes down to marketing and advertising. They're not one in the same. Advertising is a piece of marketing. But marketing is not a piece of advertising, right? And it's one of those things, it's just one comes before the other and if you're just doing advertising and nothing else, you're gonna have a hard time. It's very tough. Very tough, because you're just, it's hard. It's almost impossible nowadays. Alright, so what am I what should I be doing now? You know, like, what, what should I be doing right now? I'm all I create content. Okay, so get really loud gets super loud. What do you tell all your peeps? Yeah, I mean, for, you know, kind of going back to one of the original questions as far as like, you know, what you should be doing is, is, is when it's your website, and what, when what you think is important or what not? It like, it's not like, Guess what, consumers don't care, right? They don't care about your as much as people like, look, Simon Sinek has done a great job at like, doing the why and having those talks and everyone feels good and wants to hug each other afterward. But guess what? The consumer cares about three things write themselves in the morning noon, and after supper, right? I think Dell Carnegie said that. That's the consumer doesn't care about your why that they don't buy why you do things, right. They don't know you yet. So they don't give a crap about you and why you do things until they know you and like you, then they will learn about you and your why and all that other stuff. But instead, people make all these websites to make it all pretty and nice and do all these things when the consumer doesn't care about that. And look, I have the data because we have 2500 plus customers of websites that I look at the heat maps to see where people are paying their pay attention to and all they care about is above the fold, meaning your hero section which is like your image, video, whatever, you got to have a strong headline, sub headline, a call to action and tell them where they need to go. That's what lead pops. We don't focus on making very pretty websites even though we do we focus on conversion, because that's all that matters. Do you want a nice looking website? Or do you want a nice looking website that converts? Right, I think and if you said if you don't then get out of the business because you're going to you're going to starve right unless you have someone else to speak and a lot of money for you andAnd so when it comes to that guy's like people actually on the mortgage side, you know, for your all your mortgage listenersget choked up about this. But when the is that you send people to your Apply Online link, we call that apply or die. It's, it's the worst thing you could do you put someone that doesn't know you, like you, or even trust you into an instant buying decision of something that's going to be their biggest financial transaction in their life.So like, give me your it's like, an ask for like, the social security number and like, like, yeah,why not? Right? Yeah, let's just let's just do that. Like, look, guys, like, that's, that's not how we do it, you know, we evolve, things change. And so. So that's, that's the what you guys got to figure out. And that's what we focus on. We focus on conversion, we focus on you know, soft, yes. Ladders and stuff to get people saying yes, yes, yes. And then you hit him. And then eventually you it's just it's funnel marketing, very simplistic. And then, you know, to your, you know, to your question about content. Look, right now, I'll tell you right now, who's going to win in this market, the people with the largest databases with the highest amount of trust, right you want if you want to create a never ending, and look this, this is future proof, right? It doesn't matter and a down market, up market, middle market, it doesn't matter where you are, Phil, if you want to have a never ending pipeline, you need to talk to people and put people in your database. And here's one fundamental rule of marketing that everyone needs to understand. And look, you could anyone could argue with me, debate me challenge me on it, but I will throw right back at him the proof that I'm right, and that is whoever spends the most amount to acquire customer wins. Right?And if you see that with like, like, look at look at how many, you mentioned Zillow earlier, right? There's a reason why an agency you actually helped this happen and mortgage providers mortgage lenders to, but that no one gets more real estate traffic than Zillow. Right? And there's a reason for that, right? Because they spent the money they did what they did they did the you know, the the frog and kind of a slow boil pot. Right, you know, it didn't know that it was getting boiled, but it did. And then on the mortgage side, same with like rocket right. Even though they've been they've been knocked down, you know, by UW M. That it's, it's they spent money on marketing, right? Zillow spent a lot of money on marketing, rockets, biggest expense is marketing. But there's a reason for that. So you got to understand that you got to put yourself out there, you got to be marketing every single day because you got to be filling that database, and then understand this very fundamental rule when it comes to lead generation. Everybody's a lead, but not everyone's a prospect. Right? And you got to you got to differentiate to everyone, like just talk to someone, they raise their hand and automatically they're a prospect before you qualify and renew anything to do it. Right. This is sells one on one. Right? So you just got to understand that you're having conversations with everyone, because you want everyone you can in your database. Because the more conversations you have, the more deals you're going to do. Yep, books 10 to 15% of the people on your Facebook feed. Following you connect with on Instagram you run across in the grocery store you see at your kids soccer games, and baseball games, they're moving this year. Most of them don't know it yet. But all 100% of them have referral for you. In a referral dominated business, like don't overthink this stuff. But if you're not thought of firstyou that gets passed up, that's just an opportunity. So like 80% of people I don't do you know, the number for the mortgage space. I know in the real estate agents 80% of people over it's like 80, for some like that hire the first person they meet with, you know, what that is in the lending space is similar? It? I don't know, I don't know what it is in the mortgage space. I've never really i But to me, I kind of take that as like, because I look at look at it this way. A consumer is a consumer regardless of product, right? So I would imagine those percentages are roughly going to be the same because I will say this and you may you'll probably notice on the real estate side, at large and and in the mortgage space, the retention of that once you do a deal with the consumer, the retention is about 23% or 22% of that customer and I think in the real estate, it's in the teens last time I saw that you do a good job doesn't mean that they're coming back, right? Yeah, well, that's because people stopped talking to him in the real estate space, like 80% of people forgot their agents name like the agents name, they don't even know the first name anymore after six months, because we don't stay in touch with them. And if you're having a problem with that, guys, I'm going to take a shameless plug real quick you need to get to referral sweet.com All right referral suite.com Because all we do is farm your database and make it really simple. I just need one to two hours a month from you and that's about it. And people stop forgetting you exist but back to the show.Yes, that's it's crazy that we don't stay in front of them but we don't look at past business as future transactions because we're too short sighted. You don't spike the football on loan number one you spike the football and referral number four from the person you sold loan when were one four years ago. That's when you spike the football in these types of relationship based businesses guys, don't be so short sighted.it.Alright, so what do you do now? Give me some advice. What are we going to do with the market? How do I get loud? What do I how do I get more and more conversations? What kind of activities specifically should I be doing?Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. And to me, I think it's like I mentioned the beginning, it's a combination of things that you need to have a an omni channel, attack writer strategy, and that's social media. And that doesn't mean you have to be on everything doesn't mean you have to be on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, every channel is different. For first and foremost, it's understand where your audience is, right? That's, that's first and look, I could even go even back more and say, hey, you need to have a CRM and all that other stuff. But look, that the fact that it's 2023, and we're still having the conversation and trying to convince, I'm still trying to convince people on social media, which is stupid, but I've also got to the point, I don't know if it's my age, or just because I've been in this industry long enough. But like, I stopped trying to convince, as soon as I get into any type of conversation, I'm like, is this not for me?Okay, good, fantastic. There's no nothing for me to talk about, because we're already going to lose. And so either you're gonna lose today, you're gonna lose down the road, but you will lose, right? And, and soyou need to be you need to be putting yourself out there right in and look, I could get into the stupid stuff of like, hey, you need to be telling stories. And, and obviously, you know, we're on this podcast to be doing video, right? The fact that we're still having conversations about the importance of video is freaking ridiculous to me, too. But that's what you need to be doing and understanding where one understand your audience. Who are you trying to reach? Where are they at? And then what problem you're solving for them and under and going deep. And I have this issue with loan officers all the time, is that there's reasons people are buying and selling, right? It's not simply because they want to move, there's a reason why they want to move. Understand that because the more the more specific right and personalise your messaging is, is going to be 10x to 20x more effective than what your competition is doing. Right. In fact, I'd say it's even more and it's because our competition looks for the least path of resistance, they look for the easy way out, they look for shortcuts, they look for hacks, they want to do anything but work when it comes to marketing and putting stuff out there, right? Or they'll buy leads because they think that's deals on a platter. It isn't right and so and I've done this both on the real estate side and the mortgage side, andso you should be putting content out there you absolutely should be using hyperlocal marketing strategies and your business because people care about where they live. You should also be using email marketing, right? Like that kind of went out of style was starting to go out of style not too long ago, but now it's it's made a pretty big comeback. And I'll tell you this email is your only one to one connection that you're going to have because guess what you do not you This is why you don't build a mansion on rented land, right? Like you don't control Facebook, you don't control Instagram, every time I hear someone complain about the Facebook algorithm or the you know, the Instagram algorithms like what do you think they were going to do? Do you think they were just going to be free and fun and fair for their entire life, they're a business they need to make money so just get over it so that but but if you have an online property, you have that one to one connection via email, that's how you stay in front of it. That's how you control you track your traffic because if you don't do that, then you could get slapped by Google with an algorithms change and if you're running ads, those I remember running like Zillow long form in the beginning when I was doing Consumer Direct, right oh, it was really nice getting those 12 to $14 leads but guess what, when two years went by and those were 60 the ad right and then you're looking at a three to 4% conversion rate maybe a six to nine month nurture right like that's real money we're talking about except but guess what, you just completely went into their basket you are completely dependent on them so you had no you know, no choice but the pay to play none of these companies are evil right we make them evil because of what of the of their practices but what we gave them the power to do it so what are we complaining complaining about beat them right compete don't just stop doing it. I I have people I hate and it's crazy to me like I get it on the real estate side. Not really but I do.On the mortgage side. If you are paying any type of money to Zillow, you are insane, you are insane and your main bread and membrane will shout out to Cypress Hill. They're for dinosaurs like me, but Cypress Hill, but But it's insane because on a lender, they're they they are a lender. Zillow is a mortgage lender. And then when everyone comes back, man, it's like well, this and that. And I'm like me ask you this. You're at loan depot, right? Yeah. Malone depot, would you pay movement? Would you pay movement mortgage for leads? Oh, absolutely not. What's the difference? Extra zero. And so that that's what I'm saying, Guys, you got to control your traffic. You got to control your sources of income. You got to control where the consumer is going to find you. Because that's the only way you're going to stay relevant long term and not be dependent on someone else for your success. Because that's never a winning formula.He hit it on the head.So many people aren't using email, we're video emailing consistently, every month, we're going to 40% open rate. And the videos have nothing to do with real estate or lending or anything. They're like talking about a restaurant, their community, their local. And it's just reminders, you don't need to, like when we're just there's different types of databases andthe warm database are like all the list of people who all have the potential to refer or do business with you. And staying in touch with that audience. And those people the 200 to 300 400 people you invite to your wedding or funeral with an unlimited budget on both are the ones that you just nurture and you're not nurturing, like, just staying in touch with people, if you don't own your own data, you're in the data collection business, just like I am, like, I listened to my stats, I want to build my email list because the larger my list or my database grows, the more opportunity I have to sell more people our services. So we don't in the industry don't nurture any of the relationships we have. And then they get pissed when you log on the Facebook Like fuck, they just bought a house and they forgot I was in the business. Dude, you gotta like farm these people, you farm them with content, it's very simple. And you have to nurture and keep in touch with people because it's a giant popularity contest. Nobody wants to go interview a bunch of lenders or realtors, like, that's like the last thing I want to do. Can you imagine like, going on a speed dating round with a bunch of mortgage brokers like I'd rather watch fucking paint dry. And same thing with realtors, they just want to know they could trust the first person they meet with will start becoming the first person they meet with you do that by getting really loud, you're adding value to other people's lives connecting with people. You don't have to pitch them or sell your freakin interest rates or, or go see a house and every conversation you have. But you do need to remind them what you do for a living. And that's very simple to do.Well, that dude, very well said, Any closing thoughtsyou have here for people? Yeah, and you know, I'll put my coaching hat on here for a second is Look, I told you what to write down in the beginning, which was you know, just because you're making you're doing business doesn't mean you're losing business. And I'll tell you this is you gotta write, it's kind of like a Venn diagram, you gotta write two circles. One is what you want to hear and what you need to hear, right? And be very honest with yourself and what you want to be told and what you need to be told, right, and then the intersection of those two, that's where the gold is, right? Because that's something that you're going to lean into and do. And if you don't find that, then you got an issue, and you got it. And you gotta kind of audit yourself on what you're doing. But you know, to a lot of the stuff that we talked about, about, you know, being you know, one is the nurture processes, you should be spending as much money, if not more on your retention, and your post close as you do trying to acquire that customer, right, you spend more money on the people you do know, as opposed to the people you don't know. And we don't do that at all. Because it's not sexy. It's not instant gratification. It's not instant ROI. So we you know, we forget about it, we leave it to some you know, crappy CRM post drip about winterizing your pipes, pumpkin pie recipes, you know, fall back, spring forward, all that other nonsense that turn back the clock and turn back to you know, we're, that's not going to keep you top of mind. Right. And that's why that community piece is so relevant is because as as a sales professional, especially in a community, is that is that you all you care about is attention and awareness of who you are. That's all you should care about. Right? It doesn't have to be about your house, or being a mortgage professional or any of that other stuff. Right? Yes, tell them what you do make sure that that's part of your content strategy. But if someone just does did it, if you just sold someone's house, right, they don't care about the rest of the houses you're selling or any of that other stuff, right? You got a segment that database and talk to him about stuff that they're going to care about, right? Because one of the things that we have going for us more than any other sales profession, is that we that we help people achieve dreams create stickiness, create generational wealth, right fame, you know, really create happy situations that go to the emotion and heart. So there's automatic stickiness there. So the only reason that we screw that up is because we screw that up. Right? So that you know, so that's what's super important to all you guys know, you know, for all you guys to know. And then this is the last thing that I'll leave you with, is that you got to understand that your marketing starts before that consumer consumer even knows who you are, right? That is when your marketing starts. Because you never know when they're saying and before you could tell me that you sold something over list and over the last two years. Congrats, I'm sure that was very hard. But like, you know, doing stuff over list, you know, sell stuff in 10 days, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, before they're to close the credit clinicals before you can tell me any of that. I have to know who you are. If I don't know who you are, then you're not relevant. Right? And don't let the last two are 2020 and 2021. Don't let that unicorn yours fool you into thinking you have something that you don't and look Don't Don't get me wrong. I say all of this out of passion and love for this industry. I mentioned my story in the beginning. I'm here for life. And so I want all of the true professionals to win.But here's the thing gotta understand is don't let those things for you. Right? You got to understand that the markets are going. And we could be in a market like this. If you look at historical data, and look, everyone wants to be rosy. Everyone wants the interest rates to be what they are, and inventory and all that stuff. If you look at swings, this could be a five to 10 year swing of being this being the normalized market. So guess what? Guess what? Get dressed, put, roll up your sleeves, put in the work and do what needs to be done. But marketing is going to be the most important thing that you do for your business from now on going forward. Why don't you tell them where they can find you guys? They want to learn more.

By having a firm understanding of what your options are and what's happening through the data you have, you can continue to build a strong portfolio over time.

Property management sometimes has a bad rap in some areas of the country primarily because of poor customer service. Whether they don't reply to your emails or answer your calls, that can be frustrating for any client.  Whether you're new to property management or still considering it, remember that the happier your tenants are, the fewer calls you get. And sometimes, too, it can be quite difficult to fully understand a property owner's predicament when you haven't put yourself in their shoes. That's why investing in your own property goes a long way – not just in building your wealth, but property management-wise, too.  In today's conversation, Jonathan speaks with Elenis Camargo of Thirdstone Properties, which she co-founded with her husband, Isaac. Now with 12 units of their own and 329 doors under management, learn how they're able to successfully run a property management business that also funds their real estate investments. In this episode, you will hear: How they got into real estate investing and their first three single-family assets The pros and cons of buying a property with tenants in place Prioritizing customer service in any business Developing systems for successful property management Learning from other people's experiences Long-distance real estate investing Investing in your own home as a property manager Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Are we going to see monopolies in real estate flourish or fail in the coming years? Well, today, you get to be the judge! Wall Street could own up to 40% of the rental market by 2030 but investors are currently buying only half of the properties they were a year ago.

So it's finally happened. The Federal Reserve Board warned member banks that it intends to presumptively prohibit a large portion of cryptocurrency banking activity, as the demand for more guidance over digital assets has grown following rampant instances of fraud. The regulator issued a new policy largely prohibiting digital assets from the regulated banking environment, primarily due to security concerns.In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this news and try to determine what effect it will have on the crypto space.They discuss a recent Gallup poll indicating that half of Americans say they are financially worse off now than they were a year ago, the highest share since 2009. About 61% of those with a household income of less than $40,000 reported they were worse off, compared to 49% and 43% for middle- and high-income households respectively.Chris and Saied look at a report from Zillow stating that the amount of time it would take to save enough to put 10% down on a typical home in Austin rose from eight years in 2019 to 13 years in 2022.They also offer some thoughts on Affirm Holdings Inc. seeking new sponsor banks to diversify the sources of loan originations, as the buy-now, pay-later platform comes under pressure to improve earnings after a slowdown in growth.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating and informative conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:The concept of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges and how they work.What's happening in the commercial real estate market in terms of lagging responses.Why banks have an ongoing due diligence requirement for commercial loans.The reasons why more San Francisco homes are selling below the asking price in LA.And so much more...Resources:"Two More ‘Shoes To Drop' In The Real Estate Market" (article from Forbes)"Morgan Stanley says the stock market is ‘disconnected from reality' and it's going to hit bottom this Spring" (article from Fortune)"Half of Americans say they're worse off than they were a year ago" (Bloomberg Business via Instagram)"Federal Reserve Issues New Restrictions on Crypto Banking" (article from NextGov)"More San Francisco homes selling below asking price.

Ian Shepherdson, founder and chief U.S. economist of Pantheon Macroeconomics, believes that home prices may fall another 15% in 2023, citing the large disparity between property costs and buyer incomes. He predicted the eventual housing crash of 2008 in 2005 and recently suggested that the price-income gap, coupled with increased house supply and high mortgage rates, may precipitate a period of continued deceleration of the housing market rather than a significant rebound this year.In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this prediction, and attempt to determine just how likely it could be based on current data.They discuss comments from Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker, who says that, in 2022, homeownership was further out of reach than it has been in modern recorded history. While home prices and mortgage rates may be falling, making the market at least a little more accessible, they're doing so from historic highs.Chris and Saied look at an interview with Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, who said that explosive jobs growth is evidence that the central bank has more work to do when it comes to taming inflation, including more hikes to interest rates.They also offer some thoughts on the differences between the affordability crisis this time around, and the last recession.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating and informative conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:The difference between being data-driven and data-based.Why Bob Iger is right-sizing the company to weather the storm and to be more efficient, returning more profits to the shareholders.Why Zoom has laid off 15% of its workforce.What would happen if the Fed started lowering rates again and the effect it would have on inflation?And so much more...Resources:"Economist Who Predicted the 2008 Housing Crash Says Home Prices Will Drop 15% in 2023" (article from Yahoo!

I get political today. But first, I discuss jobs. How far will home prices fall? Innovation creates jobs. It does not destroy jobs. American innovation is one reason that we added over a half million new jobs just last month. All this new job growth and a robust GDP reading will keep us out of a recession for the next few months, maybe much longer. Both the US median home price (Case-Shiller) and inflation peaked last June.  The US median home price fell 2.5% from its peak.  Where are they falling? Where are the rising? We explore experts' outlook for home prices. Five expert opinions all range from 2023 home prices rising 5% to falling 4%. Volatile, coastal markets are correcting down a little. Many stable markets in the Midwest and South are stable or rising a little. Beware of those that say, “It's never been a better time to buy real estate.” That's wrong. 2012 was better. 2021 was the worst time to buy real estate recently. Even these past few years, and today, it's hard to find a better place to put your investment dollar than carefully-bought income property. This won't last long. At GREmarketplace.com now, providers are often giving buyers 2% of the purchase price as cash at the closing table and free Property Management for two years.

From ANNapolis, MD to Santa ANA, CA and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, Forbes REC member and founder of this very platform here… and this is Episode 436 of the Get Rich Education audio podcast.   If you'd like to watch me on video, check out the Get Rich Education YouTube Channel.   But our audio show, right here, is our most popular platform.    Is the world trying to tell me that my voice is better than my face, then? That's what I'm starting to think. Ha!   ARE American home prices are falling. How bad is it? When did it start? And when will it stop? I'm going to answer all of that in just a bit.    Last week, I mentioned that a strong GDP report has told so many permabears and gloomer-and-doomers that they were wrong about being in a recession by now.   And gosh… the latest Jobs Report came in after that and it just added insult to injury for all these permabears - meaning those that are permanently bearish - permanently making dire predictions about the economy & housing.    And, even if you're listening to this show years from now, this is how you know that a recession is NOT at all imminent.   The whopping 517,000 new jobs added last month nearly tripled expectations.    Still... I wonder if constant rumors about a coming recession will drag on longer than the fake meat fad.   These recession rumors keep getting stirred up.   Now, when it comes to jobs. You care about that a lot as a REI. You need your tenant to have a job in order to pay you the rent.   The number of American jobs saw their recent low in 2020. In fact, they fell into a deep trough - a BIG dip back then.   That was the pandemic shutdown. People had to stay home. The government paid workers to stay home. Maybe you were paid to say home then - about three years ago.   Well, that means that a lot of goods weren't being produced in 2020. Many services weren't being produced either.   Well, when MORE stimulus-fueled dollars began chasing FEWER goods, that's exactly what began stoking the inflation fire for the next few years, right up to & including now.   That's where the monetary inflation came from.   That's why I've regularly been paying $8 for a bottle of good quality salad dressing.   Aren't you doing some of these things?   Yeah! Hey, what's wrong with you? In today's polite society, you aren't adding a 25% tip for your $6 bottle water?    No, I hope you're not. I'm not doing THAT yet. Ha!   Well, that was when jobs cratered, in 2020. By today, with all of these American jobs roaring back, total jobs are now 2.7 million above pre-pandemic levels. There's now just a 3.4% unemployment rate.   That is just really hard for the doom-and-gloomers to deal with.    That's the GOOD news.    Though more jobs are good news, it's not all good.     The bad news here is that strong employment means more inflationary pressure.    To that point, Jerome Powell recently said that Americans should expect a couple more interest rate hikes to keep combating inflation.   Not everything is all good in the good ol' USA. I mentioned some of the economy's other problems last week.   But what's the reason for all this job creation? Why is this happening in America?    In a word, it is American innovation.   Innovation creates jobs.   Now, there might have been one point in your life when you thought that innovation DESTROYS jobs - like, for example, with the fact that today's bank tellers and grocery store cashiers are disappearing.    Innovation does not destroy jobs. Innovation creates jobs. We'll like at why shortly.    But first, the Global Innovation Index was released and it shows that America is the 2nd-most innovative nation in the entire world.   Yep, of 193 UN-recognized world nations, the US is only second to Switzerland.   People have falsely believed that innovation destroys jobs since before the tractor replaced horses and mules.    Yep, last century, one new tractor replaced five horses or five mules and that meant that it soon took fewer farmers to feed the animals, because fewer animals were needed.   For the ultimate result & outcome, look no further than where you are today. We are more technologically advanced than at any time in human history.   The result is that we have 11 million more jobs than available workers. It's kind of the opposite of unemployment.   Innovation is what got us here.   Twenty years ago, no one could have foreseen ALL of today's new job opportunities as a: drone operator, quantum machine learning analyst, YouTube creator, a podcaster, social media director, app developer, information security analyst.   New jobs that didn't exist before, like a digital marketer, TikToker, metaverse wearables developer, and on and on.   Well, that right there is evidence that in twenty years, it's hard to foresee what new jobs WILL exist that don't exist today. But they WILL be created.   Even eBay, which some regard as a “digital yard sale” company - though they're more than that. But eBay just announced new hires for Web3 and NFTs—those fields barely existed two years ago.   In a few years, when self-driving cars replace Uber drivers, those driver jobs will simply migrate to better-and-higher uses, just like it did for jobs of a bygone era like telephone switch operators & travel agents & bowling pin boys & and elevator lift attendants.   But people will still fear for the "loss of jobs". Don't fear for a loss of jobs. Fear for a loss in innovation.   American innovation drives all this job growth.   So the fact that we aren't having a recession anytime soon is really frustrating for all the permabears. I wouldn't totally count it out that we could have a mild recession LATER this year. But not soon.   Politics is another sad reason that people create gloom & doom-type of media.   Some people wanted to WISH a recession into existence since last year, especially leading up to last year's mid-term elections because they wanted to sow seeds of fear because they didn't like the political party in power.   People think that if they can just convince enough people that there's a recession, then they can topple the current administration.   Then if that incumbent administration gets toppled and THEIR people are now in power, even if it doesn't change anything in the economy, that same recession-promoter will stop promoting a recession because they got their political wish. It's politically-driven.   I don't do that here. I don't do left-right politics. Instead, I do up-down. Up is integrity. Let's go up.   I first heard that up-down framework from Dr. Chris Martenson - someone I really respect. We had him on the show a couple times here.   How do you do up-down instead of left-right? Follow people that you disagree with on social media for some new perspectives.    Trying watching some YT channels that you don't agree with. Even delete your YT history & start over if that does the trick.   Today's suggested video and social feeds can often keep people in one narrow “think” silo.   So two big reasons that crash bros have been wrong are discounting American innovation and being blinded by politics.   OK. Well... so what? I mean… really… like… who cares?   What if gloomer-and-doomers plow ahead with more fear-mongering headlines like: "giant crash ahead", "total market collapse" or "massive depression coming"?   How does that really hurt anyone?   Like I briefly mentioned last week, it matters because it keeps us living in fear.    Your brain's amygdala is wired to be stimulated by danger, alerting your nervous system.   Has all that dreary material from some other sources talking about crashes and depressions and collapses even made you want to... quit your daydream?   You'll never get that lost time back.   Permabears rarely admit that their dire predictions were wrong. They'll just go on making more intransigent apocalyptic forecasts in order to get clicks.   People have been predicting the end of the world exactly since... the beginning of the world.   Let's bring some balance here. Let's talk about both the bad news and the good news.   If you & I believed all the bad news, a meteor would have plummeted from the sky and struck us both dead by now.   That's why some people with their constantly dire predictions want you to think.    It's the old school media notion of “If it bleeds, it leads.”   Don't believe for one second that I think that America's powers that be are all 100% responsible & looking out for your best interest.    Janet Yellen recently said: “You don't have a recession when you have 500,000 jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years.” Yes, that's what Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, who, as longtime listeners know, I have called “Grandma Yellen” because she looks like my late Grandma Weinhold.  C'mon - she just looks like a Grandma. Nothing wrong with that - she looks like a sweet ol' grandma. I've definitely disagreed with her in the past. That is, I've disagreed with Yellen, not my Grandma. Ha! But Yellen is right on this one.  And yes, Yellen works for the president. But she's not the only one who's starting to see the possibility of a recession becoming less likely. Economists at Goldman Sachs lowered their estimate on the possibility of a recession in the next year from 35% down to 25%, and that is thanks to the strong labor market. A 25% chance of a recession this year, though some forecast it higher than that. Speaking of the President, I was hoping that one Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. would have talked about housing more in last week's SOTU address that he delivered. In any case, the strong labor market is keeping us out of a recession. And MY take is that job strength is underscored by a legacy of continued American innovation.   But we won't play the Star-Spangled Banner again this week like we did last week… emmm because some of those jobs are part-time jobs.   Coming up straight ahead - some bad real estate news - what about those falling American home prices?   Learn more about GRE and how our mission helps you achieve financial freedom - not debt freedom - but something more important - financial freedom - at our educational website, GetRichEducation.com   Follow Get Rich Education on your favorite social media platforms - Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube.   On most every social platform, our name is Get Rich Education.

This is GRE.  _________________   Last week, I told you why I don't expect our core markets to see much price movement in the near term.   By our core market, that's residential properties that are lower-middle class up the median in the US Midwest & South - which I call the stable markets - as opposed to the volatile, coastal markets.   As a real estate investor, you may very well care about the state of rent growth and occupancy rates so prices might not be the #1 thing, but they still matter to you.   Well, both US home prices and inflation BOTH peaked in June of last year.   The fact that last June was the peak of US home prices is per the widely-cited Case Shiller National Home Price Index.   And since then, national home prices have corrected back… 2.5%. Yes, down two-and-a-half percent from their price zenith, eight months ago.   Yes, a rare period where home prices have NOT appreciated.   Redfin recently told us that of the 50 most populous cities in the nation, the 10-11 that have fallen the most over the past year (so this is annualized here) - and I'm just rounding to the nearest whole percent here are:   San Francisco - home values are down 10% YOY   Sacramento, California: down 6% San Jose, California: down 6% Los Angeles, California: -5% Oakland, California: -4% Seattle, Washington: -4% Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: -4%. I'm a little surprised at Pittsburgh. I just visited Pittsburgh a few months back and I don't know why they're down 4%. I might research this. Austin, Texas: down 3%. Not a coastal market, but a market that overheated in the pandemic runup. New York City -3%. Phoenix, Arizona: -2% Let's get an 11th city in there with Boston, Massachusetts: -2% Alright, so, it's chiefly volatile coastal markets that have experienced the price correction to this point. Most of those are mild. The only one down more than 6% is SF at 10%. But how far do they fall… in those high-priced, volatile, mostly coastal markets. And, hey. You can go back to this show from its beginnings in 2014 and 2015 and this is why I told you that we avoid the high-priced, volatile markets here - most of them coastal. They don't cash flow.  Their values aren't stable, and their LL-Tenant laws don't favor REIs at all. This is just what I've been talking about for over 8 years now - all on record - right here on this show. Alright, well that's backward-looking. For some forward guidance, I told you about MY price forecast last week.    Here's what some OTHER influential figures have to say about the future direction of the national median home price for this year:   CoreLogic expects a 2.8% increase.   Deputy Chief Economist at Redfin, Taylor Marr is forecasting a 4% drop in the median home price compared to 2022.    Chief Economist at Zillow, Skylar Olsen expects a more modest 0.5% decline.    NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun thinks prices will stay even, with no appreciable gain or loss.   And finally, Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com expects a 5% INcrease in home prices.    So, right there, with that panel of five economists, there's a national HPA expected range for this year of -4% to +5%.   Now, I talked about the worst appreciating major markets & the national numbers.   How about the big-city real estate markets that have continued to appreciate & expect to continue to this year?   The Top 10 are just about all in the eastern half of the United States, expected to appreciate anywhere from 2% to 8%. In no particular order, they are:   Charlotte Cleveland Tampa Dallas Nashville Jacksonville Kansas City Miami Atlanta Philadelphia Though mortgage rates have hit a five month low, now near 6%, you know, I think that MORTGAGE RATE direction is more difficult to forecast than home prices are.   But I'll tell you, at this point, I will advise you that mortgage rates have more upward pressure on them than downward pressure since there's high job growth.   High job growth can keep inflation buoyant so that makes the Fed want to keep hiking rates.   So, in summary. Home prices expect to stay stable or perhaps rise just a touch in many stable Midwest & South markets, and they probably have further to fall in high-priced markets, many of which are coastal markets.   Jacksonville, FL is one notable exception. That is one major coastal market that usually behaves like a stable market and has good cash flow.    Jacksonville is one coastal place that I like for investors.   Real estate has been more attractive to buyers this year, compared to last year as evidenced by the increase in purchase applications.   But for anyone that says that it's never been a better time to buy real estate. I don't believe that for a moment.   NEVER been a better time?   2012 was a pretty awesome time to buy real estate. That was about when prices hit some sweet lows. But those prices are never coming back.   I'll tell ya, when do I think was the WORST time to buy real estate in the recent past? It was 2021. That's when the housing inventory was so low and everyone was competing for houses and you had to drop so many contingencies that sometimes you had to feel like you better waive your home inspection (which is not something that I recommend). 2021 is when you often had to pay all-cash to compete against a horde of bidders. That's bad. That means you've got no leverage. And 2021 is when you often had to offer over asking price. 2021 had choppy seas for buyers. But it was a good year for sellers. And you know, even in 2021, with it's challenges, you would be hard-pressed to find a better investment than real estate when it's carefully-bought income property.  That's still where you would have a strong risk-adjusted return, buying in the stable, cash-flowing markets where we do. We're talking about “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” type of properties - yeah. A San Francisco row house in 2021 that you had to pay all-cash & $100K over offer price for? No, not a good strict financial investment. But today's market - now you've got more inventory and you have these incentives that more & more income property providers are offering you like I mentioned last week. I want to mention them again because they are so special, they don't often exist in the marketplace.   There are three ways you can save thousands of dollars in today's real estate market.   These three incentives - you can't get them from every provider at GRE Marketplace. But this is now common. Ask about them.   1 - Many sellers are crediting buyers like you 2% of the purchase price at the closing table. You can use this to buy down your interest rate if you want to.    So on a $250K income property purchase, that's $5,000 cash to you at the closing table.   I don't know how long this incentive will last. Because though mortgage rates have fallen a full 1% from their peak, you're still getting cash at the closing table to buy your rate down.    The second incentive is free property management for up to 2 years.   If you don't have to pay a PM fee, that can increase your cash flow by about $150 each month - or more - on every one of your properties.   I don't know how long that one will last.   3 - Rent guarantee. This means that if your property is vacant, the seller pays rent to you until the property is occupied.   That third one - the rent guarantee is the only one that I would expect will last long-term.   On your next income property purchase at GRE Marketplace, be sure to ask about these incentives.   If you're listening to this episode in the distant future, they're probably not going to be there anymore… then just, take this as a point of historical context.   Understand that GRE Marketplace is not like a big box store. It's more like an organic farmer's market where we help match you with experienced property providers.   And much like an organic farmer's market, check back regularly for new offerings. It's a vibrant market. And you see all those markets in the Midwest & South there. Check back every few weeks.   To help you out, we actually video-interview the PMs in most markets on that page.   Yes, with today's incentives, your PM could be like your unpaid servant for two years - ha! We interview them right there on Marketplace to give you a good feel for them.   Wealthy people's money either starts out in RE - or ends up in RE. And I really wish that a resource like GRE Marketplace existed when I began investing in RE. I had to figure out so much by myself then.   It is still free. There is still zero subscription fee. GREmarketplace.com is still a completely free service to you. Create one login and get access to all providers at GREmarketplace.com.   Next week, a show unlike any we've ever had before. I'm Keith Weinhold. DQYD!
