The Transactional Real Estate Investor Show with Blair Halver


Dec 27, 2019

In this episode, Blair and Jeff talk about the stats on their recent Facebook ad campaign, a good way to get lots of leads and contracts. Cheap cost per leads, cheap cost per acquisition, and cheap cost per deal with huge profit margins. They go over leading indicators and lagging indicators. There’s a new template in Google Drive with this Facebook ad model; go and take a look.

They also talk about calling back on Mojo, how to determine the ARV, how much houses are sold for comparable to a subject property and price-per-square-foot approach, how to determine the cost for repairs, and what sort of work should an associate do. They discuss adjustments everyone should do after Facebook’s recent changes plus news on two leads that have come from Facebook ads. Next is putting properties in a land trust, resources for setting up a land trust and who could be a good trustee. We have an undesirable situation where a holdover owner wants to stay in a house and how to deal with it, how to negotiate when buying a property with a lease option, the importance of insurance and what coverage is needed for, the difference between subject-to and seller carry-back. Finally, learn about firing a VA, making the first calls, and getting started.
