I started working with this schedule in 1994 and did this for 12 months without fail and now I no longer have to hunt for deals, they now come to me.

I get around 3 to 4 deals faxed to me every day, I get an average of 17 calls per day and 48 emails per day.

I call this "OPT" Other Peoples Time. Deals come to me! This will save you time and money!

You may need to adjust to your life style.

Monday
Mail, Fax, or email
 
Advertisement
at least 15 letters to lenders and at the end of the 1st month you will have contacted 60 lenders. You will then start getting lenders to send you their lists before Anybody else. (takes about 30 minutes)

Mail, Fax, or email at least 10 letters to Realtors, Contractors, Real Estate Attorneys, etc and at the end of the 1 St. month you will have contacted 40 Leads producing sources. You will then start getting Leads & business contacts. (‘takes about 30 minutes)

Search Internet sources for Leads (‘take about 1 hour) Study real estate related educational material (take about 1 hour) This I still do!

    Just what I needed! I was just talking to my partner saying we've got to get more organized because our advertising is working!
    Thank you very much John! I will checkout your forms cd--it has letters and scripts too or is there something else that contains those?
    All the best,

    John, First, let me say that your 15 hour schedule sounds like a very workable plan.

    My problem is that I get flustered when realtors/lenders ask questions in relation to things that I have never heard of. (i.e.things that were not covered in any of the coursessss
    that I've studied).

    I pride myself on being able to carry on an intelligent conversation,but after 5 minutes with these guys I feel like a babbling idiot!!!

    O.K.,enough venting. My question is: When I contact these people,how do I present myself
    as a knowlegable investor that they will want to do business with?

    Next,I'm not familar with court documents, and
    I can't seem to get any help when I go to the courthouse...........suggestions???

    Next,I am working on less than a limited (if you know what I mean) budget. So I don't have a lot of room for error.

    Please don't think I'm whining,I'm not. It's just that with all I've been hearing about being able to do this business with no money, I just want to do this right.

    I would like to keep in touch as I'm sure I'll have many more questions as I go.

    Thanks for taking the time to listen and I'm going to start your 15 hour program.

    John--I love your 15 hr schedule and as someone else also asked--in your 15 letters to lenders--what list do I ask them for? I understand that writing to realtors, contractors, attornys etc. I would tell them what I'm looking for and what I do--just not clear about what lists the lenders would supply. Thanks
