FLIP THIS HOUSE

FLIP THIS HOUSE

How come so many people are wanting to flip this house today? Flip this house is a challenging endeavor in today's climate. But, hat people see as flip the house, is actually them wanting to think and grow rich.

Flip this house in today's market is easy. Or is it? There are foreclosures all over the U.S. with perhaps Las Vegas, Nevada being the hardest hit.
But you do not have to look far to find a house in your own neighborhood that is in foreclosure. So let's see how to flip this house.
To flip this house, you need a few resources. You need to have all of your resources ready. You will need financing which are called hard money lenders and gap funders. You will need to have a contractor ready, and a real estate agent to sale the house when it has been repaired. All of these resources need to be ready to flip this house.
So how much do you bid for your flip this house project? You have the house appraised (and after several deals), I generally take a maximum of 65% of the house value to include all costs. So If it is a $100K house, after purchase, repairs, holding costs, and real estate agent fees, I will have no more then $65K in my flip this house project. If the home is in a declining house value area, I even knock off 5% to 10% of the appraised value to cover the declining value during the holding or repair period.
Banks will accept foreclosure bids today that you would not imagine due to the back log of foreclosures. To purchase your flip this house project, you will pay mere pennies on the dollar.
The caution area is the repair budget. Be sure you do not underestimate repair costs or they will come out of your pocket. Every deal is on a case by case basis, but a good rule of thumb is the repair cost should not be more than 10% of the total 65% costs you will be into the house. Your flip this house project depends on the cost of repairs being accurate.
Finally, in your flip this house project, do not always go for the big bucks. Sell the house quickly. Had you rather make $15K today or $19K in two months. When I flip this house, it is the $15K I want today.
Finally, A great source of information is the Armando Montelongo seminars which will guide you through the whole process. I highly recommend attending one of his seminars. Good luck on your flip this house project.

Internet Marketing On A Large Scale

Internet Marketing On A Large Scale

If you have a product, or a webstore, or a website, or a blog how do you accomplish internet marketing on a large scale to reach the masses? There are so many people on the internet on a daily basis and even hourly basis worldwide, so how do we reach them?

The marketing concept is actually the same as before the internet came along. How can that be you might ask? Well, it is like the post delivery system. Their volume is declining rapidly in current times. Why; electronics and the internet.

You are getting the same thing on the internet as you did in the mail. Post mail you do not want is called “junk mail.” It hits the trash can. Internet junk mail is called “spam”. It hits the trash folder.

The problem with internet junk mail or spam, is you have to be more careful, that your private data is not electronically breached. There is a simple fix to this problem. If you ever receive an email requesting verification of passwords, or any kind log in information, it is spam. Period. In the regular mail, you did not have to worry about that issue.

So how do you do internet marketing on a large scale or market your product on the internet? Well, there is no easy answer to this question. So many of us learn by trial and error methods. If you are trying to reach the masses, you can always use pay per click, or paid service, do it yourself. But boy that is expensive.

Internet marketing on a large scale today involves more than building a website, buying a domain, and then posting your product on the internet. Without spamming, you want to reach your audience by internet marketing on a large scale.

This is the same as a siding company sending out via print and mail 10,000 flyers to buy siding, via post mail, but you do it on the internet. Post mail costs a lot of money, not to mention paying for the flyers. If your product is good, somebody somewhere, will read your ad, and decide this is for me. This is how it should be done. If the right product fits the right person, within the right budget, at the right time, therein is your sale.

So how do you internet marketing on a large scale, safely?

There are endless opportunities. The biggest movement today is “mass marketing – automated”. There are a number of companies that you can join, that will auto link your product, distribute it via like-minded members, and then redistribute to social media sites, all done automatically.

When using post mail, we relied upon the Better Business Bureau. When I got an offer to buy siding, I would promptly call the BBB, to see if I should buy from that company. On the internet, there are numerous website informers and rank companies to determine if I should internet marketing on a large scale with them.

For instance, if you stated in your email, that you had 1 million satisfied users, and I checked your website out, and found you had an average of 35 visits per day, I am not going to even look any further. But if you said I have 1 million satisfied users, and your website had a page rank of 9/10, I am going to buy your product. It is all the same in internet marketing on a large scale.

So in the end, to accomplish marketing your product on the internet marketing on a large scale, use common sense, and try one of the multitude of sites that can get your product to the end user. Find websites that can mass market your product, as in social media that can accomplish internet marketing on a large scale.

As Always,

I remain,
