Estate Agents are being mean to me! How do I find my deals?

Estate agents currently have the lowest stock since 1982 so in this episode, David goes through exactly how to find properties and generate leads without going through an estate agent. To generate viewings you need to be able to get in contact with people and there are a range of ways to do this if you know where to look. As a deal packager, you need properties and deals and it all begins with getting enough leads.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you get enough leads you will get a deal, 30 leads will usually bring 7 or 8 viewings and potentially one deal. Look for leads on Spare Room, Open Rent, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace because you get a point of contact with the landlord This could be an opportunity for rent to rent for serviced accommodation, multi-let or a lease option. If you get leads you can change them into deals Extract the data from the sites online and then get in touch with people You can WhatsApp or text to try and get a viewing but keep it short and sweet. If you send enough messages you will get responses The purpose is to get an appointment for a viewing EIG have information from every auction site in the country and list all the unsold lots. Find out about the unsold lots, there are deals for your investors in there.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Not since 1982 has the amount of housing stock that estate agents have been so low’ ‘Test and measure which messages get the best responses’ ‘With Gumtree, you get a phone number and an email address’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.
