Finding deals in today’s market is one of the most common challenges investors face. The demand for multifamily is hot and brokers are getting offers above the asking price as investors are prioritizing hard, physical assets like real estate. However, the key to finding a multifamily deal is leveraging the right marketing tactics and focusing on the cost per deal, not the cost per lead.
Gary Boomershine is the founder of RealEstateInvestor.com and has sent over 65,000,000 pieces of direct mail. Gary shares that many investors get caught up in the cost to acquire a list for off-market property owners and send direct mail. Instead, he believes that investors should be focused on their cost per deal to understand the true return on their marketing.
Gary shares why he is leaving California, how to take advantage of the current market using the Three Ps method, and how large apartment investors can get around property managers to get directly to the owners.
