Real Estate Investing Mastery Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, we’re getting even more awesome info from wholesaler, Tom Krol. (Alex Joungblood also jumps in, yay!) Tom is so knowledgeable that we had to break up his session into 2 podcasts. I thought Part 1 was loaded with goods… well, in Part 2, Tom spills tons of super helpful REI tips that we can use in own business – including the 5 different ways a seller call should end. Look, in this non-stop REI industry, you are inundated every day with calls, contracts, paperwork, postings ads, generating leads… on and on… and you know what? It can be exhausting and may cause you to burn out. I know loads of investors who have felt frustrated because of that. Tom’s genius solution – outsource. You’ve gotta automate your business and use Virtual Assistants so you can focus on the deals and keep the profits coming in. Tom gives us the questions to ask ourselves so we can break free from the time-consuming tasks and pass them on to a VA. He also tells us how he finds VAs and what exactly he outsources to them that’s had a huge impact on his wholesaling business – all you have to do is listen and follow his advice. And, as in our previous podcast episode with Tom, we have two more freebies. Who doesn’t love free, right?! These goodies will definitely help your REI business. You’ve gotta listen to get the goods… Listen and enjoy: Tom Krol Interview Bonus <a style="" target="_blank" href="https://my.leadpages.net/leadbox/14cdda9f3f72a2%3A9446a4313/5896843128995840/">Click for Video and Checklist</a> What's inside: 08:29 – Why you need to let go of some of the day-to-day operations tasks 12:20 – Why database systems may be hurting instead of helping and what to do about it 15:06 – The difference between branded and non-branded outgoing marketing messages 18:00 – Why you may not even have to open your database system again, thanks to your VA 23:45 – How to properly use a mobile notary 27:58 – 5 different ways a seller call should end 28:48 – How your VA can send a time-sensitive written offer letter on your behalf 34:45 – How to use What’s App to interact with your VA 38:07 – Why I’m so frickin’ excited to get awesome info from Tom 42:38 – All the steps your VA can do once the contract is signed 46:16 – My quick and easy way to come up with the offer price 50:42 – Why Tom doesn’t put sellers in an automated email series 55:43 – How your VA can prioritize for you and keep you on track 57:54 – One of the tasks that Tom chooses to do instead of his VA 60:23 – Why Tom is looking at Subject 2s Tweetables:  [Tweet "Investors, here’s my quick and easy way to come up with the offer price that your VA can use"] [Tweet "Don't let evaluations stop you.
