Key Takeaways:

“I always have a business no matter what the size of the market, whether you’re in a megalopolis or you’re in a small town because we deal with human beings and human beings always have problems and they’ll get problems that they can solve by selling their house.” – Tom Zeeb

“You’ve got to get a marketing machine moving and marketing to people that don’t currently have the property listed. There’s something wrong in their life that’s why they’re motivated to sell. And solving that problem in their life is more important to them than anything else about the house, including the price.” – Tom Zeeb

“Wholesale flips, I don’t even get down to buying it. I focus on because this is what got me out of trouble and I’ve stayed with it because I guess I’ve learned my lessons. I focus on marketing to find great deals. I focused on negotiating to turn those loop warm leads into red hot deals and then I pop them under contract and instead of doing any of the buy and hold or the buy and rehab and resell, I sell my contract.” – Tom Zeeb
