Description

Even in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, with all that is going on in the world, we real estate investors need to be aware of a couple of important facts. 1. This isn’t going to last forever. 2. When it’s over, people are still going to buy and sell homes. And 3. Thanks to ever improving online tools we can get a lot done from the comforts of our homes. Just yesterday I closed on the sale of four homes virtually. I did have to go find a notary and drop some papers off, but my contact with others was very limited, over quickly, and I keep hand sanitizer in the car. I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’m not exactly a germaphobe, but due to my public persona I shake hands with a lot of strangers - in normal times. One day after a greeting line that probably included 100 people or more I walked away and starting thinking about how many of those people didn’t wash their hands the last time they used the bathroom. I’ve kept hand sanitizer in my car ever since. I’m about to run out of my current bottle so then I don’t know what I’m going to do - stay home I guess. 

Anyway, back to the fact we can do our business largely from home. Today we are joined by my new friend Brandon Barnes. Brandon is a high volume wholesaler here in Atlanta, Georgia. If you’re not sure what wholesaling is or how it works, stick around because not only is Brandon going to explain what it is, he is available to guide and mentor you if you are looking to get started in this business. And even in today’s hyper-competitive market, Brandon believes you can get your first deal with no more than $500 to $1000 invested in your marketing.
