166: Jeremy Resmer contacted me recently because he's been using a new marketing tactic to find motivated sellers with TV ads.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/166)Not long ago, I talked with another land investor named Larry Jarnigo, who has also tried this out and seen pretty decent results. But Larry was doing this for more of a conventional TV medium, where the commercials appear on network television and are aired as 30-second TV spots.Jeremy’s approach is a bit different. He created and tested it for 12 months and went from doing 48 to 86 deals without changing anything in their marketing for those 12 months, so there's pretty strong evidence that it has made a notable improvement.Jeremy's current focus is on houses, but as we’ve seen with pretty much everything house wholesalers do, this kind of thing can just as well be used for land. In this episode, Jeremy will explain exactly how this works, its role among his other marketing strategies, and the kinds of real estate investors this makes sense for.
