“Real estate sales was perfect training for the experience to go into public life because you learn to accept rejection, learn to meet new people, learn to work with people and find common ground.” ~ Johnny Isakson

When I invest in a property I do my research. Long ago that meant doing the fancy footwork or being active. Going to open houses, going to model homes and condos, making phone calls, and looking at advertisements in the area where I was planning to buy. Comparison shopping was a far greater task before we had smartphones and apps to help us organize all the information at a glance.

Zillow Renter’s App is ideal for those of us who invest in real estate on a regular basis. Flipping and selling is a rewarding experience but you need to do your homework. I use Zillow’s App to see what other homes are selling for, what other properties are renting for, compare that information to what my budget is for a flip.

Zillow offers a number of things in the app search that will let you be specific about your property. This way you can make the best speculative estimate about what your profit could be.  Usually, in a typical real estate website search field you are limited to whatever their listings are. Zillow scans through a number of listings in your desired area. Usually the search amounts to more than 20 properties that could be a match for the property you purchased. Read More→

Knock, Knock…

Posted on April 4, 2016 by

Today, social media is the big thing many real estate professionals use to market for business, at least it should be. Everyone is Facebooking, Tweeting, Blogging, Vlogging, hash tagging, etc. but how many of you still make it a point to go out and do mass socializing face to face. When was the last time you went to a happy hour, a luncheon, and/or door knocking? Yes I said door knocking. In no way am I taking anything away from online social media but it works better when done in collaboration with face to face interactions.

Today everyone is focusing on online branding and marketing. Everyone claims to be the best in their field and some go as far as to make claims they cannot prove. So what do you do to stand out? Obviously, the number one thing to do is keep all those promises your marketing makes and collect testimonials. If you want to solidify your position in your marketing area or dominate your niche you want to get out there and let yourself be seen.

Many successful investors, real estate agents, title company reps, insurance agents, etc. have said to me they were too busy to attend a networking event. Sometimes I am caught by surprise because those same people were the ones I would see at every event in town. Admittedly, in the past, I too have gotten comfortable with socializing online and neglected the face to face interaction. When deals were a bit more difficult to locate I began attending the networking events I attended religiously in the past. And as you can imaging the number of potential investment properties I was sent increased and a few were actually worth looking into. The real investors here know what I’m talking about. I also had the opportunity to meet many newbies that were looking for assistance on how to wholesale. I was always more than happy to assist new wholesalers that are committed. I benefited by being the first person to see the deals they found. The best part is I taught them to identify real deals that I or any true investor would buy. Read More→

Rock Shukoor’s Real Estate
Marketing Madness Workshop

April 16, 2016 from 9AM to 5PM
*Keller Williams, 200 Glenridge Point Pkwy, Ste 100, Atlanta, GA
Do you want to learn the fastest and easiest way
to make money in real estate?

It’s a proven fact that real estate has created more millionaires than any other investment in history, so what’s stopping you from being the next real estate multi-millionaire?

  • No Cash?
  • No Credit?
  • No Training?
  • No Experience?
  • No Mentor?
  • No Resources?
  • No Leads?
  • No Confidence?
  • Fear of the Unknown?
  • Fear of Risk Involved?
  • Don’t Want Tenants?
  • Don’t Know Where to Start?

Marketing Madness ManualDo any of these obstacles apply to you? If so, you must attend my upcoming Marketing Madness Workshop on Saturday, April 16th from 9AM to 5PM at *Keller Williams, 200 Glenridge Point Pkwy, Ste 100, Atlanta, GA. During this full day event, I am going to personally help you overcome each and every one of the obstacles that may be stopping you from bringing home some really big checks in a very short period of time with little or no cash, credit, experience or risk required on your part.

Whether you know it or not, as real estate investors, we are all in the “marketing” business. Yes, “real estate” is our product and “solutions” is the service we provide, but we are in the marketing business. You must learn how to be a great marketer to be able to find great deals no one else can and be able to attract cash buyers so you can close within days.

When you run your real estate investment business properly, you will get paid within days not weeks or months, just like most successful wholesalers do. Of course this is easier said than done, right? Well, it is that easy when you know what to do, how to do it, when to do it and when you have the right resources available to you.

Do you have all the leads you are looking for? Do you have enough deals on hand to wholesale at least one deal a day? Do you have all the cash buyers you need to sell those hot deals to within hours of finding them? If the answer is “No” to any of these questions, then you really need to attend my upcoming training event!

At the training you will learn:

  • 7 Ways To Find 7 Great Deals In 7 Days
  • Direct Mail Marketing
  • Text Marketing
  • Call Broadcasting
  • 12 Ways To Find Cash Buyers with Little or No Marketing Expense
  • And Much, Much More!

If you have a phone a computer and can make time, I can show you how to be a “Marketing Master” and find all the deals others are looking for and cannot find.

Rock ShukoorAt this event I will teach you many of the marketing strategies that myself and other highly successful real estate investors and marketers use to promote their business and generate all the motivated buyer and seller leads they can handle. I will also show you many of my wholesaling techniques that are simple, fun, fast and easy to implement so you can start bringing in big paychecks in 30 days or less.

So what are you waiting for? Will you be the next real estate millionaire? It is up to you. Success starts with taking action, one step at a time. So don’t let anything stand in your way. Clear your schedule, forget the past and come join me at the workshop so I can help you become a Marketing & Wholesaling Machine! See you at the event!

Using his years of experience, Scott pioneered a new and innovative approach to investing in which even the novice can use to build an immediate Cash Flow of $1,000 to $10,000 or more a month using his unique Lease-Purchase program that ANYONE at ANY level can start investing in real estate in today’s market with little money and no cred with this technique coined “ABLE” (Assembling Buyer Lease Estates).

A Buyer Lease Estate is a structured agreement they create with sellers where the seller agrees to accept payments towards the purchase of their home for a predetermined price, monthly payment and time frame. They then are able to offer that home for sale to folks who can afford to buy a home but cannot walk into a bank and qualify for a traditional mortgage today.

His platform is like nothing else you’ve seen out there. You may think you know about Lease-Options and Lease-Purchases, but you will be blown away by the systems, processes, scripts and essential details that makeup this strategy. Not to mention the fact that these deals average $10,000.00 each.

At this meeting, you will learn:

  • How to find and qualify leads, and put sellers under contract using their one-of-a-kind script and approach.
  • How to overcome common seller objections and rebuttals.
  • Real deal examples, walking you through from A to Z, from contract to close.
  • Examples of the fool-proof and high-response marketing techniques we use every day, and how to handle the massive response.
  • How They Earn A Minimum Of $10,000 Per Deal And How You Can Too and much more!

You won’t want to miss how Scott shows you how to develop immediate and massive cash flow in this new challenging real estate environment. All this is happening at the Atlanta REIA main meeting on Monday, April 4th at 5PM at the Doubletree Hotel Roswell located at 1075 Holcomb Bridge Rd, Roswell, GA.
