Do they buy sight unseen? What do you need to do to make them confident in buying without seeing the property first? Let them know that you want to be their buyer. You will bring them deals.  To find these buyers you can…  Join and participate in fix and flip groups on Facebook Go to meet-ups to connect with the buyers in your area Set a meeting with all of the title companies in your area – let them know who you are and how many deals you can bring to the table.

Too many of us get fired up about something motivational… such as a Tony Robbins speech or heck even this podcast. But what happens is that quick motivation burst fades. You go from a candy high to crashing. Instead, there should be a shift to have a long-term mindset. Shift out of a motivation mindset to something more discipline. Say yes to the hard things and build mental toughness. That’s what we’re going to dive in on and more! April 23: How Evergreen Marketing is The Key to Winning in Unpredictable Times Before Carrot, Trevor built multiple businesses that made him money. The problem was, he was burnt out from what we call “hamster wheel marketing”. Those businesses had him continually chasing leads, and when he stopped marketing, the leads would stop coming in. Unpredictable income was causing a lot of stress. This is what lead to the creation of Carrot. Listen in to hear Trevor’s story and find out how you can build a predictable business that brings you real freedom. April 16: Navigating Happiness & … Continued

EP 200: 100% Virtual Real Estate Investing | How To Find The Best BRRR Deals, Private Money, Consistent High-Quality Leads, and More w/ Jon Tran

When you are first starting out, it’s so important to figure out who you really are. You may want to change your income, but none of that will change until you do. Jon Tran 100% Virtual Real Estate Investing | How To Find The Best BRRR Deals, Private Money, Consistent High-Quality Leads, and More w/ Jon Tran Not every investor is the same – and that definitely rings true for Jon Tran, who many of you will resonate with. Jon left med school to partner up with his brother, where together they’ve built a pretty slick operation. Jon lives in San Diego, but 99% of his deals are fix n’ flips and buy & holds in rural Wisconsin. This allows him to hyperfocus on his lead gen and marketing. Today you’ll not only get a raw inside look at what led to this wild transformation story, but also what he’s learned, and what’s crushing it for him right now via virtual real estate investing. Read the Full Show Notes Below… One of my favorite things about what I do is connecting with Carrot customers and learning about their personal journeys. Johnathan Tran is a CarrotCast listener, turned camper, turned investor. I wanted to have Jon on here to share what can happen once you make that mindset shift and change your energy. When you really commit, follow-through, and hustle when you need to, incredible things can happen… even when you aren’t doing business the same way everyone else is. Jon and his brother are proof of that.  Jon’s Unique Business Model Jon lives in San Diego but to acquire rentals in Southern California will take a lot of upfront capital. Instead, Jon and his brother started virtual real estate investing in the Racine/Kenosha area, a community they are very familiar with, which is about 30 minutes south of Milwaulkee. They use the BRRRR method which involves buying, rehabbing, renting, and refinancing. They have also done a few flips which proved to be very profitable for them.  Over the past 18 months, they have been able to acquire 10 rentals and $350k in equity. They’ve done this by stacking up multiple bricks in their marketing and making sure they were utilizing different channels. Today they are using 5 or 6 different marketing methods, all of which have proven to have great results.  Facebook Ads  Direct Mail  Google Ads  Organic Google Search  Craigslist Ads  When it comes to Craigslist ads, you can make it a point to search each day for FSBOs. You can search within these ads for specific words that would indicate they are a highly-motivated seller. Once you find these people, reach out and build a rapport.  Making The Skeleton Dance Their first Craigslist deal turned out to be one of those unicorn deals you only find every once and awhile. One reason they were able to close is because they did something called, “Making the Skeleton Dance.” Instead of hiding the fact that they were novice investors, they told the seller point blank that this was the first house they were buying. Not only did they let the skeleton out of the closet, but they made him dance! The seller went above and beyond to help them get the deal done with numbers that would work. Instead of pretending to be pros, their honesty and likability paid off.  The Great Mindset Shift Jon’s business is booming, but it wasn’t always this way. Right out of college, he felt a little lost, unsure of which direction he wanted to go. With so much time invested in Medical School, he … Continued

5 Real Estate Blog Post Templates to Make Your Writing Easier

We talk a lot about content marketing for real estate agents and investors. Writing blog content for your website doesn’t just help you generate more passive traffic through SEO (Search Engine Optimization); it also allows you to engage with your ideal market and provide them with free value. But for all the buzz around writing blog content, recording videos, and posting on social media, it can still be a challenge to create that high-quality content that ranks in Google (generating passive traffic to your website), engages your ideal market, and gets “shares” on social media. So, we put together this resource for you with five easy-to-follow real estate blog post templates for real estate agents and investors. Or, if you want to skip the legwork and have Carrot tools create high-ranking, share-worthy blog content for you, become a Carrot Member and subscribe to the Content Tools add-on ;-) Otherwise, let’s dive right in! How Powerful is Content Marketing For Real Estate? Content marketing is, quite simply, publishing content (blog articles, social media posts, YouTube videos, etc.) to brand and grow your business. And it’s effective for pretty much every industry, real estate included. In some ways, content marketing is more effective in the real estate industry than in other industries. If I want to create content consistently and I’m in the travel niche, for example, I’m going to have a ton of competition—there are just a lot of content creators in the travel niche. Not so much for real estate. Especially if you consider that you’re only competing with content-creating real estate professionals in your area of operation, there’s even less competition. That’s good! It means you’ll have less trouble standing out. But if you’re still not convinced that consistent content marketing can be crazy powerful for your business’ growth, consider these stats… Yeah… Content marketing can certainly give your real estate business the boost it needs. We also have a few other resources on this topic that you might find helpful. And if you want to fill your blog with high-quality, high-ranking content without spending hours creating that content… …check out our Content Tools add-on! Either way, here are five blog post templates for your real estate website content. Keep in Mind Before You Write Here are some things to remember before you start writing your blog posts. Need help finding keywords for your blog posts? We did it for you! 5 Real Estate Blog Post Templates You Can Steal Blog Post Template 1: The Listicle The listicle blog post template is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a “list” of reasons, tips, tricks, or hacks that provide easy-to-scan value for your audience. This blog post is a listicle. Listicles are easy to write and easy for readers to digest, and they tend to do well in Google and social media. A few examples of listicle posts are… The template for a listicle is pretty basic. Here it is. Title Options Introduction Write a short introduction, between 50 and 150 words, that empathizes with your ideal market’s current situation and briefly explains the problem your article willd solve. Middle – Points List your article’s points as H2 headings and write between 50 and 150 words for each point, expanding upon the core concept. Conclusion Write 50 to 150-word conclusion which overviews the article’s content and calls the reader to take action. Your CTA should often encourage the reader to work with you.
