Mobile Home Investors Speak UP!

March 14, 2014

Welcome back,

I’m attending my local real estate investor’s club meeting tonight and getting ready to socialize with acquaintances and friends.

There is something special that I make sure to do at every real estate club meeting or real estate related group function I attend.

Seller leads come from advertising that you put out into the world, such as; bandit signs, postcards, letters, door knocking, calls to fsbos, car magnets, direct mail campaigns, the list goes on.

On the other foot there is marketing which is branding yourself as a specific type of investor that is looking for a specific type of deal. One thing I make sure to do is to stand up and make a dignified-spectacle of myself at local club meetings.

The end result is that I get noticed and remembered. What I say is the same thing every time, and folks get used to hearing it.

Leads, leads, leads.

Imagine you are attending a new real estate investor’s club meeting. Who do you most remember at these meetings? Chances are you will most remember the host of the event, the speaker, and perhaps one or two other people that you already know.

Most real estate clubs have a “wanted” or “needs” or “shameless promotions” section of the meeting where you may stand up and advertise your wants or services. What better way to get your message across to active investors that are actively spending money to advertise for sellers.

This technique works best if you are looking for a specific property type or offer a particular service. See a past article I wrote about the importance of specializing in real estate. The below introduction can be used as-is for mobile home investors, simply replace my name with yours and remember to speak loudly.

The One Thing I Say..

When I stand up at meetings, which I always do, I say:

“Hello, my name is John Fedro. My number is _____________. I love mobile homes. I love every mobile home you see. Mobile homes on private land, mobile homes inside parks, any age, and any shape. If you have a mobile home lead you don’t want or you need help working the deal call me. Every lead you send me will be answered. Again my name is John Fedro and my phone number is ________________.”

Please feel free to copy my shameless introduction and/or customize it to fit your own needs.

The moral of the story is to stand out and be remembered.

Love what you do daily,
John Fedro

Hi John,

I will be going to my first real etate club next week. I am looking forward to it but a little scared as Im not too comfortable talking in front of others. I will use your words to help inspire me. Thanks for the timely post and generosity helping others.

  Hi Joan,
  
  Thank you for the kind words and commenting. While capital and credit are not needed in any great amounts to invest successfully in mobile homes, what you do need is ambition and desire. I do understand that getting outside of your comfort zone is challenging. I can also say that and promise you that you will not be the same person you are today that you will be after 6 months of actively investing in real estate and mobile homes. Things will become easier and clearer to you as you move ahead with success.
  
  I will be here when you need me so do not hesitate to reach out should you need encouragement or help moving forward. The action steps are the simple and predictable part, remember to be proud and truly know that because you are here to solve a problem and help people you deserve to be heard and your service (to take their unwanted MH leads and pay them if you make a deal) is needed by some people who will be listening in the investor audience. Does all this make sense? Let me know if it does not.
  
  Talk soon,
  John
