7FF 283: 3 things that kills deals and push sellers away (Chad King at Flip Hacking LIVE)

October 19, 2019

About This Episode

You’ve got to get houses under contract.

Doesn’t matter if you’re flipping or wholesaling…

Contracts are the lifeblood of this business.

You make your money (or lose it) when that contract is signed.

Everything after that is just exit strategies (rehab and flip, wholesale, wholetail, hold as a rental… lots of ways to make money once the contract is signed).

So what does it take to get houses under contract?

It takes rock-solid sales and negotiation skills.

Unfortunately, a lot of real estate investors are making BIG mistakes when meeting with sellers.

And they end up pushing sellers away, losing deals, and leaving money on the table.

My acquisitions manager Chad King has been on over 1,000 appointments.

I’ve never met anyone who can get contracts signed like he can.

He’s GOOD at sales and negotiation.

So I asked him to come up on stage at Flip Hacking LIVE and break down how he handles seller appointments… what he says, what he DOESN’T say, and more.

Chad knocked it out of the park…

And today, I want to share the recording of his presentation with you.

In the next 40 minutes, Chad is going to dig into…

…and more.
