  • Negotiating With “Tired Landlord” Sellers—Don’t Make This Mistake

    Negotiating With “Tired Landlord” Sellers—Don’t Make This Mistake

    Have you ever heard the expression “Tired Landlord?”  This is a common phrase we use to describe what we think are “Motivated Sellers” who own rental properties.  These “Tired Landlords” can make excellent Seller candidates for us to buy properties from, but there’s one big risk:  we can accidentally make inaccurate assumptions about them and what drives them.  In this episode, Jeff breaks down the topic of “Tired Landlords” into three distinctly different sub-classifications of “Tired Landlords,” so that you can be sure you understand exactly which type you’re negotiating with, and can ultimately be far more successful in your negotiations.

  • Get High Acceptances Rates for Your Seller Financing Proposals

    Get High Acceptances Rates for Your Seller Financing Proposals

    New Seller Financing real estate investors often ask, “what is your acceptance rate of getting Seller Financing proposals accepted and approved by Sellers?”  It’s a good question, and the answer involves a critical strategic point:  the acceptance rate is entirely dependent on how the prospective buyer approaches the Seller and handles the negotiation.  In this episode, Jeff explains the strategy for “diagnosing before you prescribe,” which drastically increases the overall acceptance rate of Seller Financing proposals.

    Using Relationship to Negotiate Better Seller Financing Deals with Gabriel Hamel

    Is taking a relationship-based approach to working with off-market Sellers just a strategy to feel good and know we are being thoughtful?  No, it’s also a hugely important strategy for negotiating BETTER deals for ourselves (and giving our Sellers better outcomes).  In this episode, Jeff interviews long-time successful real estate investor Gabriel Hamel, who has built an incredible portfolio using the power of relationship to buy a wide range of properties with Seller Financing.  In this conversation, Jeff and Gabriel discuss the practical benefits of a relationship-driven approach, why Seller Financing is superior even when bank loan options are available, why investors should consider themselves fortunate to NOT have more cash to work with, and the changing role of Seller Financing in the new economy.
