Real estate transactional engineers must keep their buyers in play. If one backs out, you already have another one lined up. Don’t underestimate the ones with little money to put down. Sometimes they turn up with more if they are very interested in the house and know somebody before them made a better offer!

In this episode, learn how to talk to buyers to keep them lined up and in play, and how to reach out to unresponsive sellers avoiding your phone calls when buyers are ready. Discover how to comp and find marketing strategies for a unique property with a 1930s pier, post foundation house, and two other structures on it. We cover what happens to option fees when setting up lease options, things you must know about insurance when closing a deal, and how to avoid deals falling apart due to untruthful sellers.

Hear about land contracts, constructive ownerships, and what happens to title and appreciations when buying and then selling a house on a land contract. Learn how to set an action plan and manage spam leads on Mojo, track the conversion rate of leads into contracts, and the cost of some apps available to manage incoming Facebook leads.
