SFREI #3: Why Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneurs Buy Property Directly From Sellers

50m · Racking Up Rentals · 28 Feb 06:24

Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneurs insist on buying properties directly from Sellers...rather than through agents. In this episode, host Jeff explains why. The focus for Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneurs is creating agreement with Sellers, by crafting and delivering thoughtful purchase proposals that are as perfectly crafted and tailored to the Seller’s needs as possible. It’s impossible to accomplish this without knowing your audience extremely well, and having a high-definition picture of who they are and what they are trying to accomplish. Jeff provides a real-life example of a deal he did where these principles were in play and resulted in an excellent outcome for both Seller and Buyer.

You Don’t Actually Invest In Properties

We think of ourselves as real estate investors. That means we invest in properties, right? Not so fast. It may be properties that we buy, but it’s not properties we actually invest in. In this episode, Jeff explains that the investment we’re making is not in the property, because the property is just the investment vehicle. Rather, the investment is in ourselves and our ability to take a property and make it into a winner. This important reframe can change your perspective on what you’re doing and can empower you to further invest in yourself.

Don’t Underthink It

There are certain decisions we must make in life and business that we recognize as being big and important decisions, and we allocate much time and energy to them. There are other decisions we must make that seem small and insignificant; in fact, sometimes we don’t even realize they are decisions at all, and to these we allocate very little time and energy. In negotiation, though, the seemingly small decisions can be of large importance, and it’s critical that we give them the thought and consideration they deserve. In this episode, Jeff provides a simple and common example of a seemingly small decision that represents a bigger point in a negotiation, and encourages listeners to not underthink the right way to handle it.

From People Come Numbers

Most real estate investors have been taught to focus on numbers, numbers, numbers. And numbers are indeed very important, but numbers without CONTEXT are meaningless. In this episode, Jeff explains the expression “from people come numbers,” and discusses how people are the needed CONTEXT, while numbers are the needed CONTENT. Without understanding the context (people), we can’t possibly negotiate the best and most optimized deals.
