I've gotten some e-mails from people wanting to know what's going on, and where I've been the last few weeks or so, as I haven't sent out a newsletter, or updated the blog etc. The truth is, I've been VERY busy with Leasing to Buy. The last 3 months of the year are historically slower for the lease option business, and real estate in general. I usually take advantage of this, and really pound the marketing to homeowners the last few months of the year, so that by January, we have a pretty good inventory of houses. Jan. starts the mad rush for houses, as people are past the holidays, and they are looking to get their tax returns. I anticipate this Jan will be even busier, given the tax credit has been extended.
So we've been very busy sending out a few thousand mailings per month, to build up our inventory, BUT, we haven't really seen the year end slow down yet, so we have just been as busy as any other time.
If you've been through my training or a one on one class, you know this is the time to hit the mailings. Get that inventory ready for the Jan/Feb rush!
