Does talking to Sellers on the phone make you sweat? When you drive neighborhoods looking for ugly properties, does it stress you out because you don’t know what to look for? Does the thought of talking with Sellers face-to-face make you nervous? Do you avoid knocking on doors because you’re afraid you don’t know what to say? Are you worried about how to create new business in a recession?

These are all very common fears that all beginning investors have when seeking out their first few deals. Learning how to deal with these issues can make the difference between your success and failure.

If you would like to overcome challenges such as these, please be sure to join Don DeRosa in a two day, hands-on workshop where he will teach you…

Day ONE in the “In Person Only” Classroom

Day One of the In Person Only Workshop will take place on Saturday, November 19th, 2022 from 9AM to 6PM at the Doubletree Westshore, 4500 W Cypress St, Tampa, FL. Day One will be spent learning:

Talking with Sellers Over the Phone

• Basic Phone Scripts for talking to Sellers
• How to talk with Agents, Investors and Homeowners (there is a BIG difference) when they call you or you call them
• How to quickly determine the Seller’s motivation
• What questions are essential to get answered every time to speak to a potential seller
• How to prescreen leads quickly and determine if you have a deal or a dud

Driving for Dollars

• How to use technology to make yourself much more productive
  • Google maps to narrow your focus
  • Heat maps to help you decide where to go first
  • Routing software to make sure you aren’t wasting time and energy
  • Mobile apps to help with data collection, skip-tracing, and due diligence
  • Marketing apps to help you send out postcards while in front of the house
• How to market yourself using software to make sure you put yourself ahead of your competition
• What things you must have with you at all times (examples)
• How to research and pick the BEST skip-tracing company for your budget so you can find vacant property owners

• What marketing material you need to leave behind so you don’t get forgotten
• How to handle ANY objections a Seller throw at you and turn it around so they say YES
• What marketing to leave behind if they’re not home

Day TWO in the Field

Day Two will be spent in the FIELD putting everything you learned in the online classroom to immediate use. We will meetup on Sunday, November 20th, 2022 at 9AM Sharp at the Doubletree Westshore, 4500 W Cypress St, Tampa, FL.

You will be teamed up with another classmate, or not, and literally go into the field and drive for dollars, door knock and talk to live sellers as well as seeking out and finding vacant properties.

If talking with sellers is a challenge for you, then you DO NOT want to miss out on this  LIVE TRAINING EVENT we created just for YOU to get out and make deals happen, especially during a recession! There will be lots of hands-on practical applications in this event unlike anything you’ve probably ever seen. We will immerse you in the real estate investor experience so that you will quickly learn the skills you need to give you the confidence to talk with Sellers like a seasoned PRO.

*PLEASE NOTE: Tuition price will increase after by $20 at midnight on November 13th when Early Registration Expires. Register now and save! Don’t procrastinate and pay more!

Staging a home is no longer optional in our current real estate market.
