Folks, the emails about all the “systems” out there that can make you wealthy, with little to no work, or customer interaction are starting to grind on my nerves.

Systems are tools folks, and it still takes a person to apply those tools and use them to fix things.

Sure, use systems to handle mundain things, but at some point, your customers, whether they be buyers or sellers are going to need to be dealing with a real live person.

Lead generation can be automated, to an extent.

Waking up daily to dozens of emails from potential motivated sellers and eager buyers with cash sounds great.

However, right after those same sellers and buyers typed their info into a ‘system’, they went to another website, entered info, or got a phone number, and most likely spoke to someone like me.

At the same time YOU are planning to EMAIL or CALL that lead back, I’m meeting them for coffee and signing a contract with them.

But hey, for $1500 you can learn how ‘the pros’ (lower case on purpose) do it!  NOT!

Here is how a pro does it…..

We market for PEOPLE with PROBLEMS, problems that they perceive as being caused by their ownership of real estate.

When they call, we listen to them, and talk very little, and show compassion.

A website form or email severaly lacks this, as witnessed by the socially backward slant out country and the world is taking in this new tweet/status update/text world of communication.

A REAL PRO, takes the calls, returns the calls, shows compassion, listens to the callers needs, and decides immediately if they can provide several options for a solution.

Then we BELLY UP! That’s right, we actually get face to face with customers, and again, listen.

God gave us two ears, and one mouth for a reason, most people forget which to use more.

Provided the info the customer provides is accurate, (we determine that thru verification from third parties), we move forward by presenting a solution to the customers problem……….and of course, making a profit as well.

That is creative business and real estate in a nut shell.

No one will EVER convince me that a ‘system’, or automated computer form can do a better job of compassionately solving a customers problem than I can.

So, forget systems, gather the tools!

They are cheaper than buying systems anyway and have more than one use in them, because as with your garage tool box, it should continue to grow.

If you are tired of EVERY ‘guru’ sending you emails about the latest greatest system, I’m with ya.

Listen to this Biker instead, because I do not sling B.S.

If the latest system intrigues you, wonderful, check out some of the cheaper alternatives…………clue here, older materials.

I’ve learned over the years, there really aren’t any “New methods” for buying and selling real estate.

The new systems are usually tried and true methods from years past, with new packaging and labeling, and most often, re named.

When you sign a contract to buy a house by taking over it’s payments, its a subject to purchase.

If you assign that contract and have someone close iny your place, and begin making the payments themselves, it’s an assignment of contract.  Pretty simply, nothing fancy, and VERY effective!

Hopefully that doesn’t blow the whole reality of the new A%^&S system for ya……….but that is it in a nut shell.

And yes, for full disclosure, I do and will continue to sell several books about investing and ways to get it done.

However, I don’t make my living from that, and aside from my personal time (mentoring), nothing I sell to help teach investing is priced anywhere near $1,000.

In fact, just to spite some of the newer improved high priced ‘systems’, I’ve dropped my main course “The Biker Who Buys Houses” by $500, down to $97!

That’s right, this Biker has put his money where his mouth is!

Enjoy your system if that’s your choice………….meanwhile, I’ll be out riding my Harley in the sun, on my way to meet customers, and make money!

Happy Investing,

BikerJim
