Looking for offers! So, I've been following up with showing agents. I'm basically picking up wherever we left off, asking for feedback, and asking for offers. So far it's produced an offer worth looking at for one seller. Smile, dial, and go for no 💛

For a leverage hack... you have to ride the coattails of giants. When you want to level up, find the people who are already there. The right mentor or support system can fast-track you through years of trial and error with the slightest tweaks and honest action. It's life-changing—but only if you're willing to act on what you learn.

@Joshua Massieh In my experience, it usually comes down to a few things. The lenders I stay most connected with are the ones I’m consistently having conversations with — and the ones who reliably deliver options that actually make sense for buyers. It can be tough, because there are a lot of competitive programs and solid lenders out there. While they all serve a purpose, at the end of the day it comes down to who stays top of mind, adds real value, and works to find the best possible path forward for the buyer. I’ve worked with lenders who shut people down or speak negatively about a buyer’s situation because they can’t qualify right away — or because the purchase price “isn’t big enough to matter.” On the flip side, I’ve seen others lean into their network, get creative, and make it work for that same buyer. And even when now isn’t the right time, the goal should always be to set a clear plan and follow up. Either way, it makes everything easier when buyers are properly qualified and we know the right questions to ask going into a purchase. Those lender conversations are the key to that learning curve. 🛫

@Justin Bonney get the voicemail? Hang up and call right back.

@Timothy Whitman no joke. After he called that out and dialed again, I was hoping so bad that someone would pick up. Solid play!

As an agent looking for clients, I'm looking for experienced investors, with actual money. Tired of dealing with all these investor group folks trying to qualify deals that they have to hunt down and convince the real money holders to throw down on. I'm too busy for busy work at this point. Also, I need to brush up on how to get paid. Depending on what sort of deals I find, there's different opportunities to collect. Different people, different situations. I'm definitely a noob on this, but lots of opportunity in my market. Just not quite studied enough imho.

@Jennifer Dutson seems like those shopping the rates are more likely to pay the premiums. Helping a couple sellers in this position as well as looking for deals for my buyers.
