Can I Do Your System Without Leaving Home?

Read Transcript for “Can I Do Your System Without Leaving Home?”

 
It’s very possible to run a real estate investing business from home using the techniques that I teach. I’ll explain more here.

“I’m in a wheelchair after a car accident. I’ve been in sales all my life but can’t leave the house much anymore. Can I do this from my house?”

Joe: Absolutely. I do most of my business here right from this room on the phone. I don’t need to leave the house very often at all. A lot of the deals that I’m doing are out of state. I never go to the property. I never look at them. Does that mean that you shouldn’t do that? No, absolutely not. I just don’t want to.
 
Joe: In the beginning, when you’re first learning this business, it makes a lot of sense to go out and look at the properties to meet people face to face. It’s easier sometimes to communicate with people when you’re talking to them face to face when you don’t have the experience. But I’m at a point to where I don’t need that anymore. Most of my experienced investors don’t need that anymore unless they just like to get out of the house, which sometimes you get claustrophobia and you get out.
 
Joe: But you don’t need to leave the house. You can do all of this from your home. There’s just going to be a learning curve in learning how to talk on the phone to make that happen, but you said you’d been in sales your whole life so you probably have a pretty good ability to talk on the phone. I don’t know if you’ve done it over the phone or if you’ve done it in person but either way, if you’ve got experience as a salesperson, you probably have the ability to do this from your home without any real learning curve. You just need to learn the scripts, how to talk to people, how to offer the right kind of offers and how to find the leads (the buyers, the sellers and the investors that you need).
 
Joe: It’s not difficult. You can do it all from home. You can automate so much of it. You don’t need to be able to walk. You just have to be able to talk and think, and if you can think, you can make money. And my guess is you probably don’t even have to talk if you do it right. I’ve never done it that way personally but I have a feeling it’s possible and if I got put in that situation, I bet I could pull it off.
 
Joe: Anyway, I hope that answers your question. Don’t give up because you’re disabled, because you’re home bound or because you’re too old or too young – I’ve had people that are in high school do this stuff. They’re not old enough to buy properties until they’re 18 but I’ve still seen them do it, and they work with somebody else to put the title in somebody else’s name. I’ve seen people in their 70’s and 80’s and 90’s do deals like this and learn this stuff from scratch and start doing it from home.
 
Joe: Yes, you can do this. You can leave a legacy for your kids. You can follow through with this and have a business. It does work, but once again, you have to put forth the effort and you have to take actions on the things that you learn. If you do that, there’s no reason that you can’t do this stuff. I hope that helps.
