Key Takeaways: Alex is currently at the ASCEND Mastermind Retreat. When you make offers to sellers, consider removing the contingencies, like inspection days, etc. Have an expiration date on your contract. It's important to create a sense of urgency. If you know it's a deal, don't be shy to put a solid earnest money deposit down. Transparency is key here. Remember to check with your local attorney before offering any type of referral fees. If you are going to make $20–$30K on a deal you normally wouldn't have gotten, why not make them a JV partner in the deal? If you have a contracted property and the property is vacant, throw a bandit sign in front of the house (with the sellers permission of course)! You don't lose anything by asking! Ask your potential sellers if they'd be open to a sign in front of their house. We get bombarded by so much info on a daily basis. Just pick one thing and implement it.
