Episode 62: Skip the Competition - 3 Unconventional Strategies for Getting Real Estate Deals First

Author: Johnoson Crutchfield May 3, 2024 Duration: 3:39
Are you frustrated with always being too late to the best real estate deals? Do crowded lines and slow offers leave you missing out on prime properties? John Crutchfield, a seasoned investor, knows the pains of missing out. In this episode, John shares his strategies for "skipping the lines" - getting to deals before the crowds. He discusses three unconventional approaches to gain an advantage on getting the best deals! Tune in to learn John's unique perspective and how his passion for creative deal-finding can help you overcome the frustrations of missing out on prime opportunities. [01:24] Being Prepared: John discusses the importance of being prepared by researching upcoming foreclosure sales, new listings, and knowing when properties will hit the market so you can be "first in line" without competition. [01:56] Avoiding the Line: John's favorite strategy is avoiding the line altogether by building direct relationships with property owners so they think of you first when ready to sell. He recommends daily outreach to establish these preferred seller connections. [02:32] Breaking the Line: As a last resort, John suggests being willing to "break in line" by making offers more attractive than competition through cash upfront, faster closing times, and ensuring promises are kept at all costs. This can get seller attention when others won't go the extra mile. Key Quote: “You can be out of the crowd, you can be talking directly to sellers, you can be building your own relationships with sellers with potential investors, every day, you can be talking to people who own property, so that when they get ready to sell, they think of you - that is my favorite one avoiding the line altogether.” - Johnoson Crutchfield If you are interested investing in real estate and make connections, shoot an email grabthemap@gmail.com.
