This week's Member of the Week in Flippinars is @Bernita Smith. Bernita is working three Columbus and Springfield, Ohio properties at once this week, 3900 Noe Bixby Rd, 1938-1940 Hampstead Dr and 909 S Fountain Ave. Two of her earlier Columbus leads did not make it, one stalled and one got declined, and instead of stopping there she kept the agent conversations going on the new ones. When an agent asked for a personal pre-approval letter, she told him straight that she is a cash and assignable investor buyer. When another one asked for proof of funds, she asked the right next question instead of guessing. That is the part people skip. The deals that do not work are not the end of the week, they are just the ones you stop talking about. Bernita kept three conversations alive at once. Nice work, Bernita. Keep bringing your properties to the call, that is how you earn the next one of these.

Beverly is a grandmother and a mother to five grown sons, working land deals out of West Virginia while she builds a new career for herself. She spent most of September on guest passes, sitting in on whatever call she could get a link for, because she kept finding this room worked better than anything she had on her own. She brought two real pieces to the table this month, both out of Monongalia and Cabell County, WV. On one, a broker already had it listed and would not let her bring her own buyer, so instead of burning weeks chasing a sale that was never hers to make, she asked for a referral fee and got the broker to put it in writing. On the other, an off market industrial lead, she reported back when it sold. She sat through calls as long as 71 minutes on a guest seat, kept bringing new leads including her own excess funds research, right down to naming the heirs and their phone numbers, and on September 30, the very last day of the month, she stopped waiting on one time links and became a full member. In her own words, when that referral letter finally came through: "The realtor on the Taylor rd property wrote me a letter so I can get the referral fee." That is the whole story. Take the deal that is actually yours to take even when it is smaller than the one you wanted, keep showing up on a guest pass until you do not need one anymore, and keep bringing the work. Thank you, Beverly, for putting in the work in here all month. @Beverly Winston

September's over, here's who moved Flippinars the most all month, ranked by points earned since September 1. 1. @Georgette Neidam led the room by a wide margin. Posted for builders and members several days a week, answered the five screening questions the same day they were put to her, came off a live seller call and told the room exactly what the seller said, and kept sharing her real buyer buy box, Richmond, Henrico, Hopewell, South Chesterfield, all month. 2. @Dana Emakoji, two closings in two days this month, a JV fee, a referral cut, a tenant buyer placed, and a cash buy that had a tenant in place one day after closing. We celebrated it here and she kept working after. 3. @Audrey Pray, the same consistency she brings to the main room. Real calls to real owners, posted for everyone to see. 4. @Raven Conte wrote her own buyer screening checklist in week one, then spent the rest of the month deep in another member's Raleigh-Durham buy box asking the questions that test whether a deal holds up. 5. @Bernita Smith, six properties on file across Columbus and Chicago Heights, agents followed up, a hard move-out date tracked on one, and the first one in every new member's introduction thread telling them to jump in. 6. @Aldo Chandra asked the best question of the month, how do you verify a land buyer will really close, then answered it himself: proof of funds letters at different tiers, and told another member to check the panel and the water heater on his walkthrough. 7. @Emma Bassiri opened the month with the experience versus numbers conversation and kept real engagement going all month, breaking down why finding the motivated seller is where everything else starts. 8. @Mushk J, Member of the Week on September 18, put her own Lake Charles property in front of the room and answered the real cash investor who showed up in the comments herself.

This week's top contributors in Flippinars, ranked by points earned. The leaderboard runs deeper, but these are the ones whose work actually showed up in the feed this week, so that is what gets named today. 1. @Audrey Pray, Level 4. Same consistency she brings to the other room, other members here tag her by name when they want a straight answer on finding motivated sellers. 2. @Emma Bassiri, Level 3. Real engagement this week, breaking down why finding the motivated seller is the starting point everything else depends on. 3. @Steve Hennigan, Level 2. All over the feed this week asking the follow up questions that push other members' posts further, and thanked me directly for the guidance. 4. @Brenda Moore, Level 2. Brought three new Kalamazoo properties to the deal radar this week, real addresses with real sellers behind them. 5. @Sharron K Ferrell, Level 3. Showing up to cheer other members on, this week for Beverly's Member of the Week post. 6. @Micanor Estime, Level 1. On the call again this week, 58 minutes, putting in the time. 7. @Georgette Neidam, Level 5. Keeps sharing her real buyer buy box with the room, Richmond, Henrico, Hopewell, South Chesterfield, no zip code too specific to rule out. 8. @Jay Reid, Level 2. Reading the training and telling us it landed, easy to follow and he said so. That is the bar. Real posts, real questions, real work, and it gets seen. See you all on tonight's call.

This week's Member of the Week is @Beverly Winston. Beverly has been working a West Virginia land referral deal with a broker on Taylor Rd, staying on it week after week until it turned into paperwork instead of just a conversation. This week she reported her prior deal SOLD, then came right back and said she has a new one to bring to the call. She sat in Wednesday night's call for 71 minutes working it. That is the pattern that works here. Stay on a lead past the first conversation, keep asking the next question, and bring it to the call instead of sitting on it alone. Keep doing what Beverly is doing, one lead worked all the way through, and you will end up right here.
