		<title>Nothing Beats Them Coming To You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn't really matter which type of real estate investing you prefer investing in, probate, foreclosures, rehab, flip or hold, they all have one thing in common. People.

You'll be dealing with people.

Do you like that? Well, not everyone does. Like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry says, "People, they're the worst," you'll be dealing with people. Sometimes, just like you and me, they can be a pain in the wazoo!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reinvestors.wordpress.com&blog=1677010&post=131&subd=reinvestors&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lease Option Or Subject To?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Jason Hanson
Whenever I can, I prefer to do a subject-to deal. I only do a lease option deal as a last resort. I usually end up doing lease options with savvy landlords who don&#8217;t want to give up ownership of the property (they want to keep all of the tax deductions).
Here are a few [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reinvestors.wordpress.com&blog=1677010&post=128&subd=reinvestors&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Forget The Simple Things!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Don't Forget The Simple Things!

Every real estate investor knows that having a website is important. Having more than one website is much better. One for sellers, buyers, private money lenders and each niche of the business presents you as much more knowledgeable and professional.

The technology today makes it so much easier for real estate investors to build a website without having much html (programming code) knowledge at all.  In fact, more real estate investors are building their own websites than ever before.

I'm a real estate investor and marketer and I visit a lot of real estate investor websites to see how real estate investors use their own website as a lead generation gathering tool.  Of all the problems I see, one of the main problems would have to be, not bringing the viewer to a "definite conclusion." This will always kill their conversions.
Not Having A "Call To Action" Is A Conversion Killer!

Too many things happening on a web page and poor design are also a conversion killer. Don't make it confusing for the viewer. When someone arrives on your website, according to the research that's been done, you've only got about three seconds to "capture" their attention and make them continue on. If they read the content there and decide that they'd like to get in touch with you, do you have a "clear call to action" for that visitor to take.

Make Your "Call To Action" VERY Clear...

Put up a big colored button on there that says “Click To Get Your FREE Report” or “Click Here To Sell Your House.”

People usually won’t read everything on the page. They scan. Attention spans are short, and you need to capture their attention within that first three seconds. Along with a big colored button, spell it out what you want them to do, with a strong call to action. This will increase your conversions greatly.

Only Make One Offer Per Page...

Be clear and don’t give them several choices. If someone has to make a choice, even if it's something as simple as telling them to contact you by phone, email or sign up form, they’ll be less likely to take action. Why? Because they’ll have to make a choice between calling you, emailing you or filling out the form. People don't want to have to choose when they're tired and looking for something easy.

Use the standard form on your page that only asks them for their name and email address. Make sure you tell them that their info will be safe and that you’ll NEVER share or distribute their information with anyone. That way, they'll take the action of contacting you and you can follow up with them.

The Details Matter...

There are so many "details" involved in a great real estate investor website that it's easy to leave out any one of them. I do know some html code, (not a programmer by a long shot), but I still prefer avoiding the hassle and time it takes to really do it right.

There is one company that has been a little under the radar with such a top notch product, but I believe it will blow the others out of the water when it comes to "features and price." You can see what I'm talking about here.

There are too many other things for a real estate investor to be thinking about, without having to put all his/her websites, landing pages, forms etc. together. Let the pro's do that and you can focus on making money! Happy investing!

		<title>Probate Investing Is Gold!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many times, when an heir (relative or family member) inherits property, they inherit a burden. There are estate taxes to pay, repairs that have to be made, in some cases a mortgage or second mortgage that has to be kept up to date. These are all expenses to them. Ready cash may be more important to them.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reinvestors.wordpress.com&blog=1677010&post=87&subd=reinvestors&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hard Money Is Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hard Money Is Back In The Picture Again&#8230;
The lenders in this country have changed the rules on real estate investors. Underwriting guidelines  are increasing the minimum down payments from 10% to 20%, sometimes higher.  With low interest rates, an unprecedented buying opportunity for investment homes has arrived. In spite of this buyer bonanza, acquiring real [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reinvestors.wordpress.com&blog=1677010&post=64&subd=reinvestors&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
