The 1 key thing when choosing a home for a specific lot

Tom Zeeb
It’s been a theme with me these past few months… What? Putting the focus onto to just the few key things that massively accelerate you. Cutting out the fluff and nonsense. And quickly getting to what really matters. And the same is true this month with The Millionaire Mailman Tom Nardone. I asked him to share the 1 key thing…

New construction doesn’t discount

Tom Zeeb
Tom said to me, “New construction doesn’t discount” Which was said to him by the agent listing his properties. Say what? Easy. Even if it’s a pre-fabricated mobile home that you plop onto a lot, once it is all installed and spruced up, then it is considered new construction. And new construction doesn’t discount! A great place to be. Tom…

What to do with a vacant lot

Tom Zeeb
Vacant lots are everywhere. And, done right, you can pay full retail and still do great.

How many wholesalers are fighting for, much less even looking for, lots?

Tom Zeeb

But in my experience, the best of pretty much everything is in the opposite direction from where the crowd is going. (Hat tip to Earl Nightingale for first pointing that out to me.) That means that opportunity is also found away from…

Mobile homes are not trailers.

Tom Zeeb
We are NOT talking about trailers or trailer parks at this month’s Traction REIA meetings. We’re talking about mobile homes. There’s a difference. Mobile homes are prefabricated and then trucked in and placed onto your lot. It’s basically a factory-made home instead of a home built directly from scratch on the actual site. There are some advantages to doing this.…

Building a personal Army of Cliff Clavin mailmen

Tom Zeeb
Who sees tons of homes in tons of different neighborhoods 6 days a week? ANSWER: Letter carriers. Those neighborhoods they are walking through have lots of vacant houses, run-down houses, owners with problems, and more of the exact types of people and properties that we are after as real estate investors. So what would happen if you had all the…
