About this episode
This is a game changer for real estate investing. In minutes (or even seconds), you can find every motivated seller in your area, see how desperate they are to sell, and even find new markets with discounted real estate deals. This used to take hours, even days, before—now you can do it in minutes. We can’t really even believe that this is so easy.
Today, Dave is walking through the new “Motivated Sellers Index,” a tool that helps real estate investors find motivated sellers and discounted real estate deals across the United States. It ranks motivation based on three factors: 1. Days on market, 2. Price cut frequency, and 3. Price cut magnitude, to see which sellers are the most willing to give you a deal on their property.
Dave demos it live, showing which markets are the most and least motivated in the country, and how to use the tool whether you’re buying or selling. Plus, how you can pinpoint the fire sale rentals in your market—wherever you are!
