Working Short Sales with Realtors - Bob Massey

I had a great conversation with Bob Massey on how to harness the time and knowledge of realtors to help you find and work short sale deals.  If you ever thought you didn't want to get into the short sale market because...

• You don't have the time
• Don't want to visit distressed sellers
• Don't have the money to work the deal
• Can't meet with a BPO agent
• Wouldn't know where to find buyers

Then you need to listen very carefully to this interview. Plus at the end there is a great Q&A session with awesome questions from those that were live on the webinar.

Episode 14 – Lease Options, Foreclosures and Part-Time Investing

Today’s Question was…

“I am a fairly new investor with a full-time job. I bought two properties in 2008 before my daughter was born, and haven’t purchased anything since. I work a regular 9-5 and take care of my daughter at nights and on weekends. I am determined to purchase at least one property this year by enlisting the help of others as much as I can to help make up for my lack of time. However, I was wondering what advice you have for investors with little time to go out and look at houses. Any courses you recommend I look at?” – JT

Episode 11 - How to Analyze Comparable Sales

It's Viewer Question Friday and we had a very good question from Janiro...

"When finding 3 properties does the structure have to be the same, for instance when I researched my subject property on zillow the comparable properties were within the one mile radius, they had similar square footage as well as the same amount of bedrooms and bathrooms.  However, I noticed that my property was wood with a 2 car detached garage, but the other properties were all brick with attached garages. Is that ok or should I find more properties?”

There are Four Main items you need to consider when developing good comparable sales, they include...

1. Make sure you are comparing similar homes in square footage and bed and baths.
2. Try to find homes of similar quality so an unupdated 1970’s home is not the same as a home across the street that was recently remodeled.
3. Try to find 3 homes within a mile of your property with similar neighborhoods and sold in the last 6 months.
4. Only ever compare sold homes and not homes listed for sale.
