The topic of discussion for the presentation portion of our meeting is The Top 10 Ways to find Real Estate Deals in 2013. As we learned at the MAREI KC South meeting in December, the Real Estate Industry has changed immensely in the past year. Home Buyers and Investors are paying cash more causing more demand for REO properties. Banks are not foreclosing and selling the notes, lowering the number of REO properties. So with more demand and less supply, the price is going up. So finding non MLS deals is going to be even more important going forward than it has in the past. So we want to take a look at some of the best ways to find deals in 2013, in no particular order we would like to discuss: 1. Marketing for Motivated Sellers on Craigslist 2. Using Social Media to attract sellers 3. Bandit Signs 4. Door Knocking 5. Live Networking 6. Direct Mail 7. Using Realtors 8. Farming a Neighborhood 9. Print Media Marketing 10. Other Resources So what should you expect at our Northland Meeting?
