Show Notes
Steve and Eric discuss Eric’s early experiences in real estate, how he and his partner build Integrity First Home Buyers, the massive volume the company does and how they find and evaluate deals, the importance of networking and education, and introduce the Brewer Method — using a Novation agreement to turn leads you would normally trash into big profits.
Top 5 Takeaways from Eric Brewer:
5. Find what you do well in your business, and hire the right people to do the parts you either don’t like or are not good at doing.
4. Good salespeople are usually messy and bad with paperwork; so let your salespeople do sales and hire detail-oriented people to take the paperwork off the salespeople’s hands. You will have much better compliance with far fewer errors, and much better sales because your salespeople won’t be grinding through the paperwork they hate.
3. Know your market and use your lead gen/data providers to help you define your target properties. It’s better to do fewer deals but make two to three times the profit than to run yourself ragged.
2. Look for ways you can legally differentiate yourself in hot markets. Right now, it’s a seller’s market and investors are competing heavily for properties. If you offer something unique, like the Brewer Method’s Novation strategy, you can position yourself as one of the few investors who can help sellers by getting the what they need from their property.
1. Every contract — every single one — should have a Novation provision in it. This gives you flexibility as the investor to offer Novation terms to a home seller, allowing you to close more deals that other investors cannot touch. The Brewer Method can show you exactly how to do this legally and ethically.
Bonus Takeaway: If Eric could go back and change anything, he would have paid for and used masterminds, education, and better networking with other successful real estate investors early on. Once he started using mastermind groups like Collective Genius and other training programs, especially business organization and management training, Integrity First Home Buyers experienced a 50% increase in transactions completed with less pressure, stress, and problems. Don’t put off getting educated on how to run your business.
