Real estate investors are about to head into one of the busiest times of the year. How can you take full advantage of the opportunities?
Back to school madness will be here before we know it. Most industry outsiders and new Realtors and investors are taught the time to get busy is late spring and summer. Yet, those last few weeks of summer break can be among the most profitable and critical. So where should investors be focusing?
There are a lot of lookers early in the summer. But when back to school dates start looming buyers and sellers get serious. They are on a deadline. Buyers want to be moved in and on a schedule before school starts. And they need to be in the right school district. Many also need to sell their old homes, if not to be able to buy, but to shed the debt and live comfortably without the extra mortgage.
This high level of motivation means opportunities. It means buyers that need to, and will buy, and will bid high. Sellers must sell, and for many that means being willing to sell at a discount or on terms.
Capitalizing on this surge in real estate transaction activity is also essential for bulking up on capital for the weeks ahead. Generate cash from wholesaling to buy up in the softer months to come. After the back to school rush typically comes the seasonal dip in listing prices. This could be compounded this year by the presidential election.
How do you get more of this business? Get visible by doing the bold marketing your competition isn’t. Get a niche – perhaps offering speed of closing as your advantage. Provide school district information. Maybe include offers to help with moving and school supplies (note that some kids are going to need cars this year, and that’s a big expense).
When you start to make gains and pull in the profits from this activity don’t forget to participate in back pack drives and support the local community.

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."

"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
"To you I say, ”KUDOS to Best Transactional Funding and Thank you for providing the education and services to Real Estate Entrepreneurs like me. Please keep up the good work!'"

Our deal met your qualifications and every time Rob Kozak or any member of Mystic Properties, LLC phoned, we received a "real" person dialing back to speak with us.
Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
Your help negotiating with our title company made our back-to-back deal, finally happen. People noticed on settlement day how effectively and efficiently your part of the transaction was organized and executed. Again, thank you for truthfully being the "BEST" at what you do!"
