Small flex, big gratitude. Caleb and I have been following Zachs advice since 2021 and this week we had a seller text us straight from one of our XLeads email blasts right in our backyard. This came in right after a big win with a big bag foreclosing attorney (seriously, this man dragged us out for 4 months, story for another time) and then BOOM 💥 another check from a deal we moved. {Small} brag but really just a reminder to anyone grinding, that the boring stuff works when you stay consistent. 💪🏻 If you have deals in Michigan and want to JV we are down!!! We can handle boots on the ground, take great photos, renegotiations in person, contracts, buyers, dispo whatever makes the deal move! 📱 734-822-1656 📧 admin@citylightsgrandrapids.com

Finally, Finally closed the first deal! Took 5 months and about 30K calls but id do it all over again. Time to become more efficient and take what I learned to get more. Locked up at $120k, Assigned for $170k, JV'd it and made $30k.

After sending text blasts, we noticed some leads got marked as “DND” even though they never opted out. Turns out, a lot of those were landlines that couldn’t receive texts — so when the message bounced, they were automatically flagged as DND. Here’s how we filter them out so we can follow up again (see screenshot) Side note - we tag every lead new when we upload and also tag leads junk that we don't want to contact again FYI so ignore those two if you don't do the same thing Filters - - Tag: is “new” - DND: is enabled for SMS - Tag: is not “junk” - Tag: is not “do not contact” - DND: is not enabled for calls & voicemails Bonus tip: Add this filter too → Last Activity Type: is not “Phone Call” That’ll show you all the DND leads you haven’t called yet — which often means they’re landlines or bounced texts. Not a perfect system, but it’s helped us reconnect with real leads that might’ve slipped through.
