Welcome to the group. I got your message - make sure to start with the videos in the classroom.

You can absolutely do a bond to deed with a mortgage on it. If you still need help with this reach out to me, I’ll walk you through it.

VA's are so oversaturated now. I would suggest partnering with someone young and hungry to call those leads. Give them a %. You'll close exponentially more deals! @Dustin Boese @Jesse Weimer Agreed?

@Ray Allen Facebook groups or someone in this group. Let them know you have a bunch of leads that need to be closed and need an acquisitions person to do it. Vet them heavily and then partner up.

If it’s an established franchise, yes. I would not open a new franchise vs buying an existing 5+ year old business. Out of 100 businesses 70 will fail in the first five years. Out of the 30 that survive the first five years only one percent of those will close. If you buy a business that has been in business for 10+ years you almost have a 0% chance of that business closing if you operate it correctly. We’ve learned it’s better to own multiple businesses making a smaller amount, then having one big business producing a lot of money. We call it eating grapes instead of eating the watermelon in one sitting. @Justin Pumpr

I go even further. ( when I was using Otto) I would call a list with Otto. Delete the ones that answered, call them again with Otto. Then I’d text all the ones that didn’t answer. Then I’d hand dial all the ones that didn't answer. I’ve pulled 7 deals out of a 3,000 lead list in Saint Louis before. It’s the same reason land guys mail the same area over and over again.

@Ray Allen None I used https://leadminingpros.com when I did the texts, but 10,000 texts are $1,150 with no skip tracing.
