Should you lock your properties behind a buyer email optin form?We recently held a Facebook Live session discussing our upcoming Buyers' List building strategy. Specifically about the strategy of locking properties behind an email optin form. And we wanted to truly see if this was an effective method. Our team is going deploy 2 versions of the REI Landlist (land selling website), with mock properties and run the test of collecting emails over the next few months with actual traffic coming. Our Goal: to observe the behaviours of those who are required to submit their email contact vs those who are not required to do so in order to view the properties. Listen to why and how we plan on running this test so that you can follow and track the results we come to to help you make the decision if you should lock your properties behind a buyer lead optin form to grow your buyers' list.

Luke Harris of The Farm Finders began collecting buyer email leads since the launch of his business - even though he wasn't sure what to do with it just yet. Only after a couple years, he has transformed that list and is now reaping the benefits of it, riding out the uncontrollable algorithms of Facebook or Craigslist affecting the sales of property.  Luke now sells 30%-50% of his properties to his email list, sometimes within hours of blasting his emails. We’re going to be diving into exactly what he’s doing with his email marketing from the importance of having a land selling website that also collects emails to build his buyer’s list all the way to the kinds of emails he’s writing and even when is the best time he’s found to send out his emails to be able to offload his properties just through his newsletter. Make sure you listen right to the end to hear about his template takeaway so you can start applying the same strategies.

In episode #6, negotiating and counter offering most of the time can sometimes feel like a lost cause and a waste of time. But here's a simple 2-step script that I have systemized and used that has saved the property's deal and more importantly, time.

In episode #5, we tackle the topic of if you should have a different site for both your property buying and selling website. And the major risks you’re running if you keep them together as one site.

In episode #4, we discuss how hiring a virtual assistant can help give you time to grow your business. But what kind of tasks should be given to VA’s? How to find and hire VA’s? and What tools are needed? We’ll go over the basics of bringing a new VA into your team allowing you to scale your investing operations.

In this episode #3, we discuss what you can do to get your Facebook Marketplace Account in deep waters, what you should avoid and be careful of, and if you do end up in trouble, how to resolve this.

In this episode #2, we discuss how better headlines can increase your property lead submission rate, helping you land and find more properties and profit from them. Believe it or not, headlines make a difference - and we put our headlines to the test.

In this episode #1, we discuss how you can post your property in several Craigslist cities to market to neighboring cities, areas, and states and get maximum exposure for your propertiesAdditional Notes: One thing I didn’t mention in the Podcast episode, is that if you plan on posting the same property across several markets on Craigslist, make sure you change up the text and formatting. This is another way of Craigslist detecting your property existing across their different areas and could end up being removed.
