Creating Opportunity in the Post-COVID-19 World w/Jay Conner

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The whole world is undergoing unprecedented changes in the wake of COVID-19, and the real estate industry is certainly feeling the immediate effects. In light of such enormous changes, it might seem unwise to continue implementing our prior strategies. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We can use this time to reconsider and shift our systems, while staying active and engaged. There are actually still opportunities available for investors, so this isn’t the time to be sitting on the sidelines.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the Coronavirus is certainly a devastating blow to us all, there is a chance for us to move into a better future. We just have to be willing to keep pushing forward during this time.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, I share my thoughts on the future of real estate investing with Jay Conner, host of the ‘Real Estate Investing’ Podcast.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode </strong></p> <p><strong>- Why we shouldn’t use this time to stop operating our businesses </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot our competitors are using this time to freeze and halt their operations. This gives active investors an opportunity to take advantage of the sudden pause. Now is not the time to watch from the sidelines.</span></p> <p><strong>- The importance of lead follow up right now</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When contacting leads, be sure to start with the oldest ones. 80% of profit comes from between the 5th and 12th interaction with a client - so don’t be afraid to reach out to people who initially said they weren’t interested in selling.</span></p> <p><strong>- Why we need to consider wholesale </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of holding onto tons of properties, focus on keeping only those that offer huge renting opportunities. Now is a great time to start wholesaling properties.</span></p>
