I love when I get a mixed bag of responses to a message…
Yesterday’s doozy on preppers and prepping for the radically shifting real estate market hit a few nerves:
“Hmmm. Nicely worded” — C.L.
“You’re a nut. One of those crazies. And you send too many emails!” — R.N.
“Weird. But I actually think you’re on to something Tom.” — S.S.
What more do I have to say?
1st:
If it’s too many emails for you, skip hyperventilating and simply use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each message.
2nd:
Connect the dots.
There’s tons of odd shortages, everything from Siracha sauce to feminine products. And a statistically improbable number of food processing centers have burned down or had accidents lately.
Think whatever you want.
Meanwhile, the media is already starting to talk about the “collapse” of the “real estate market”.
Why?
Because once prices stop going up, Up, UP, they think the world is over.
It’s not.
It just changes.
And in our case, the case of creative real estate investors, it gets better.
So while everyone else starts yammering on about the “end of the market”, those who are ready will start crushing it big time.
Bottom-line:
Don’t be afraid of the changes coming to the market. They are good for us investors. IGNORE the media and just be ready.
How to be ready?
*Know how to market to find the increasing numbers of motivated sellers.
(they have less easy options now, so they’ll need you more than ever.)
* Know how to negotiate.
(Please view this as an advanced skill, but it is actually a fundamental building block of your business. Moving someone from saying “no” to saying “Yes!” is a key skill.)
* Know how to lock up a deal and navigate it thru to settlement.
(Systems, contracts, processes, and frameworks.)
