If you have Private Investors lined up and use seller financing, you could expect to do 3 deals IF you go all out on your marketing!!! Lynn mentioned this in another post... Your MARKETING should be your biggest EXPENSE!! I AGREE!

The number of deals you do in a week or month will depend on so many factors. Your ability, the advertising you are doing, your market, etc. etc...

Mainly, Your experience level and ability to recognize a good prospect then your ability to convert that prospect into a "deal". There are some folks that wouldn't know a great deal if it stared them in the face. Still others that try to turn every prospect into a deal - even if it's a bad deal.

Never go for quantity - go for quality!


Would you rather do 3 bad deals a week (12+ per month) or do 3 GREAT deals a month?

If you do three a week, you better be hiring some help!

I think that when you are starting out you should have hefty goals, but they have to be realistic. Start out shooting for three to five deals per month and work up from there. You can make a great living off of 36-60 deals a year!

Good Luck!

Steve,

I am in a similar size area and I have found that the time of year changes things. In the winter I am slow, the rest of the year very fast. I really feel that the size doesn't matter it seems to me that I usually do 3 to 5 deals a month. Winter maybe 2 a month. My father is in Charlotte, with a population of 6 million in a 70 mile radius and could take more deals but just does about 5 GOOD deals monthly.

I would plan on getting 2. I hope this helps, but me guessing what you could do there is the same as guessing the weather.

I wish you well!

Thank you

Ben
