Mental Mindset: 11 Tips to Drive Your Success as a Real Estate Wholesaler

Posted by ThatPhillyWholesalerChick in Friday, April 8, 2011

Just yesterday someone asked me if I could give them any tips as it relates to wholesaling. The first thing that came to mind was, "Don't give up!"

I think it was a timely question because this week has been one of the most challenging weeks to date. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster, to be quite honest. Deal, no deal - deal, no deal. I felt like I could scream - totally at my breaking point.

It reminds me of when I was in college. MANY days I just wanted to call it quits. Too many papers to write, too many exams to study for, and too many chapters to read. Eventually, after all the papers had been written, all the studying had been done, and all the chapters had been read, there was graduation day - somewhere along the way, I managed to graduate on the Dean's List, and had been inducted into the National Honor Society.

When I look back on all that was going on in my life - running a house, working full-time, being a wife, speaking and working with recovering addicts, I don't know how I did it. But, when I really think long and hard, it was a certain attitude and mindset that was present.

Because, as much as I wanted to, I didn't give up - NO MATTER WHAT! I just continued to put one foot in front of the other until I reached my goal.

It's that same tenacity, persistence and commitment that continues to bolster me when the going gets tough with my wholesaling business.  And a mindset that won't quit, even when I want to just throw my hands up.

The right mindset is everything. Both in life, and as an entrepreneur. Either it will master YOU, or you will master IT.

Listed below are ten mental mindsets and attitudes that continue to empower, inspire and motivate me in my life as a real estate wholesaler. Hopefully they'll do the same for you.



1. Focus on your successes, NOT your failures.


                     










2. Keep your end goal in mind.









3. If they can do it, I can do it.












4. JUST DO IT!













5. Don't give up!












6. You have what it takes to be successful.















7. You've come too far to quit!











8. Do a little more, think a little harder than the next guy!













9. Do what ever is necessary to get the job done...(within reason of course).

















10. Feel the fear and do it anyway!
















11. Stop making excuses!


Make sure to bookmark this post, so that when you come up against those challenging moments in your life as a real estate wholesaler, you have a visual weapon to combat all those negative bug-a-boos that have a way of creeping in from time to time.

I encourage you to share your mental mindset tips that work for you, so that others reading this post can benefit as well.

What a Philly Cheesesteak and Real Estate Investing Both Have in Common

Posted by ThatPhillyWholesalerChick in Wednesday, April 6, 2011



If you're looking for an authentic Philly cheese steak, you gotta go to the source - PHILLY! Wholesaling real estate is no different.

Just like you have to be selective about where you buy a Philly cheese steak from, you have to be just as selective, if not more, who you're learning from in this business.

To help cut through all the noise, I've suggested three people who can help guide you on your career path to investing in real estate:



Steph Davis

These three people are in the trenches day in, and day out, so you don't have to wonder whether they are just speaking 'theory,' or speaking from actual experience. They are DOING this business every day! And are quite successful at it, to say the least.

But don't just take my word for it - check them out for yourself! At the very least, you can take advantage of the endless blog posts each of them has made available to help increase the odds of your success.

You'd be crazy not to, right?

Happy Investing!

Wholesaling Real Estate - "Do a Little More, and Think a Little Harder Than the Next Guy!"

Posted by ThatPhillyWholesalerChick in Wednesday, March 23, 2011



Wholesaling real estate involves doing a lot of things that test your commitment to doing this business - cruisin' for cash, putting up bandit signs, calling on property owners, etc.

In this video, I resume calling a specific property owner of a vacant property with 67 possible phone numbers! Yes, that's right, 67 numbers - I'm calling every last possible number for this property owner. If I can't locate him, I will then send him a yellow letter.

This kind of action separates the chaff from the wheat. Asking yourself are you willing to do whatever is necessary to make "IT" happen in your real estate wholesaling business is key.

Listen in as I make the calls.


Action Steps:

1. Ask yourself are you willing to do whatever is necessary to make "IT" happen in your real estate wholesaling business.

2. Figure out what that is for you, and DO IT!

(Bandit Sign Marketing) - Using Bandit Signs to Generate *Motivated Seller Leads*

Posted by ThatPhillyWholesalerChick in Monday, March 21, 2011



Bandit sign marketing is a guerilla marketing tactic that real estate wholesalers employ to get in front of property owners who NEED to sell their house quickly!

In this video, you'll get a chance to see myself, and my partner Margaret, write out our bandit signs using a variation of 'we buy houses' wording on our signs, as well as putting them out in our target areas here in Philly.

This has been proven to be an effective method for generating motivated seller leads, however, as simple as this marketing strategy may be, many folks don't take the time to invest in buying bandit signs, or much less, take the time to to put them out - DON'T let that be you!

If you don't have the financial resources to invest in bandit signs at this time, don't let that deter you - you can always go to a supermarket, or a Lowes/Home Depot, major dept. store, or wherever you think they may have cardboard boxes and use those to write up your signs.

Action Steps:

1. Order bandit signs, or find some card board boxes at an area store.

2. Write up your signs with We Buy Houses, or some variation of it, including the number to call.

3. Place 25 signs in your target area.

4. Wait for the phone to ring.

5. Take calls and determine whether it's a deal or not.

6. If it's a deal, put it under contract.

7. Market the HELL out of it.

That's a fair question.

The tell-all answer, however, is in the video:)


Action Steps:

1. Be on the lookout for business owners who you can partner with on your target areas.

2. Present the idea of partnering up, and offer to share the advertising costs with them.
