Off-Market Properties are the New Market

Posted on | by Allison Zuck

Off-market properties are hard to find. You don’t have the ease of access of it popping up on the internet. But, they can be very profitable for you to invest in. Think of them like the hidden gems of real estate. There are three main reasons why these off-market residences are so great for investors.

Negotiation

First, you don’t have to jump through as many hoops to negotiate on the property. In fact, you work with less people than a traditional piece of real estate. This means that you are better able to obtain a price that works for you and the seller, because you don’t have the same amount of middle men involved in the process.

Competition

If the property isn’t on the market, then other buyers aren’t looking at it as closely. Sometimes, for marketed real estate, you will have to outbid other interested investors. This isn’t as much of an issue with an off-market property, because not as many people will know about it.

Lower Price

If this property isn’t getting as many bids, you can open a negotiation that satisfies you and the seller. The market sometimes drives the prices of houses up, but an off-market find can enable you to get the best deal possible.

It can be helpful to your business to pursue leads that are off-market. These leads can hopefully grow into some of your most lucrative investments!

 

Strategizing Success

Posted on | by Allison Zuck

You can get caught up in so many things  when starting a new business! You can micromanage all the details and lose sight of the big picture, or you can focus so much on your goals that you forget to put in the supporting work to get there. It’s easy to be overwhelmed. If you keep some simple principles in the front of your mind, you’ll have nothing to worry about. Here are three tips to get you started.

Keep Your Goals

Your goals are super important. If you forget what you want to achieve, it will be hard to get there. Therefore, in order to make sure you achieve what you want, always remember your final plan. Make big dreams and keep them! You can figure out where you want to end up, and then figure out how to work backwards from there. You can only get there if you know where you’re going!

Know the Costs

You need to keep all angles of the money in mind, from costs to profits. If you don’t know what you’re spending money on, or what’s bringing in the profits, your business won’t reach its full potential. It’s also okay to hire someone to keep track of everything if you have too much on your plate. Just make sure you know what’s happening at your business all the time!

Keep Growing

Your business needs to keep growing continuously. Because of this, you need to set yourself up for growth. One of the best ways to advance your business is to use marketing. Marketing will help you reach more people, and will hopefully make you more money in the process. However, try to figure out the sweet spot of spending and making money. At some point, you won’t gain anything, even if you’re spending a lot of money. Once you find the sweet spot, you can make your business move past it, and then invest even more in marketing.

Starting a new business is overwhelming, but keeping these three things in mind will help you achieve all your goals!
