HARRY WHAT DO YOU DO IN BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS? WE NEED TO MAXIMUM OUR TIME

HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY 2012. It is just another word day for many of us. The kids are out of school. Plus, all government and banks are closed today. This is a great time to schedule viewings for properties with clients. So, I was able to book three showings in the same area today. However, I have two hours between each viewing. What does Harry do in his free time?

There are too many Realtors spending too much time in the office. Real estate is a contact sport. That means we have to be out in public to contact clients and make new relationships. However, most Realtors want to take up space and drinking the free coffee. This is why their business is low and looking for a part time job to supplement their income. We live in a country where we can make it happen with a network in place. I am very blessed to be living in the United States of America-Land of the free and much opportunity.

PURCHASING HOMES AT THE ARIZONA TRUSTEE SALES COME IN WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS

It is a great year for the real estate investor. I have had many of my investors take the month of July off. I believe many people across America just wanted to enjoy the Holiday Season and forget about real estate. Personally, my real estate investors did not see enough inventory at the Arizona Trustee Salesbecause of the robo signing incident. Plus, banks did not want to foreclose on home during the Holidays. However, WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS. The first week of August we are seeing 200+ homes on a daily basis being auctioned off.  

DEFINITION ARIZONA TRUSTEE SALE:

A Trustee's sale is an auction event for real estate.  The day before a list of properties are to be sold at auction you may view the home, complete due diligence, and determine a proper bidding price.  Homes which have been foreclosed on by a lien holder put up for sale at the Arizona Trustee's Sale. In Phoenix, we have three different times during the day when you can attend and bid at the trustee's sale. They require all cash and must close the next end of business day. The winning bidder receives the trustee's deed.

Arizona continues to be in the Top 3 foreclosures markets in America. What are we to do? Many more new Realtors want to enter this market because they see easy money. Is it really easy money? I am working six to seven days per week with first time home purchasers, investors, short sales, foreclosures, trustee sales, fix and flip, lease options and other real estate related items. I am in high demand because I am very experienced when it comes to real estate. I have built a one stop for real estate buyers here in Phoenix, Arizona.

PHOENIX FIX AND FLIP BE IN POSITION TO WIN AT ARIZONA TRUSTEE SALE

It was another busy week in real estate for myself. I specialize in assisting real estate investors to Phoenix Fix and Flip a House in my local market. We acquire the properties from the Arizona Trustee Sale which happens Monday to Friday all day long. Many real estate agents do not touch this part of the business because it is very difficult and moves very fast. However, the Real Estate and Beyond Team is equipped to service new and old real estate investors. We make it happen on a daily basis. How long does it take to obtain a property? It has been my experience that it takes about two solid weeks before an investor will obtain a property.

There are two things that the investor must have in order to be successful when purchasing homes from the Arizona Trustee Sale:

1. PATIENCE-Yes, the investor must do work. That means the investor will be riding every morning viewing properties and analyzing the property on the spot. He will need to take all the numbers to come up with a bid. Yes, I do assist in this process since I will be the listing agent after the repairs have been completed.
2. DUE DILIGENCE-The bid service checks the property for any other outstanding liens. We only bid on first lien positions. I have witnessed some investors on their own win the bid on a second lien. However, it does not pay to be the Lone Ranger in real estate. Furthermore, the real estate investor ensures that there is A/C on the property along with other major components to the home. We must include these items when coming up with a bid amount.

I thoroughly enjoy what I do on a daily basis. I find it very rewarding when my investor wins the bid. There is more work after the bid. However, I allow my investor to enjoy the moment while I am setting up the close to happen next day by 5PM.

ART OF BUILDING A STRONG INVESTOR NETWORK CREATES ONE STOP SHOP FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

Where do you obtain information on how to maintain a decent credit score? This information is not taught in school or college. Many people are clueless when it comes to establishing and maintaining credit. Here are some questions that people have when it comes to credit:

• How do they come up with the credit score?
• What are the factors?
• Why do I need to establish credit?
• How do I remove information that is not correct?
• Why is my insurance so high?
• Will employers check my credit score?

I receive many calls each week of people asking me to improve their credit. Recently, I have developed a great relationship with a credit consultant. I believe in networking with people who specialize in their industry. Then, you develop a one stop shop for people.

I had a client who had questions on the following topics:

• Real Estate
• Mortgage
• Taxes
• LLC Protection
• Property Management
• Credit

I sat him at my conference table and we started to call my network members so he can receive answers to all his questions. He was a satisfied customer because it only took him less than an hour to become better informed. He thanked me for creating the Real Estate and Beyond Network.

We have created a ONE STOP shop for real estate investors who wish to take advantage of the Phoenix real estate market.
