Question: Steve, I already know I should be looking for motivated sellers to buy houses from for my flipping houses business. But where and how should I look? When looking for deals for your own flipping houses business, how do you personally go about finding motivated sellers?< According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product /blockquote> Answer: Well this is something entire home study courses and bootcamps have been crafted around. Motivated sellers are the lifeblood of real estate investing and the flipping houses business, but there are many, many ways to go about locating them. I go into much greater detai ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in in my own home study material on this, but for now I'll just describe for you, in a nutshell, some of what has worked well for me over the years. There are really two overall approaches you can take to finding deals; the first is very proactive – actually going out, hitting the streets and finding lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. eals. The second approach is positioning yourself so that your marketing and/or your network brings the deals to you, which can be very effective if you’re strategic and use some solid marketing principals in your approach. Finding motivated sellers has really evolved for me over time. In the begin here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe ing, I didn’t have the resources that I have today so I pursued other avenues. I went after the cheap and the free. I did whatever I could do to pursue leads that I didn’t have to pay money for. In fact I initially started working with Realtors®, from whom I could get listings that were potential d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro eals. I could get listings all day long for nothing. I could also comb the classified ads and call up everyone in the classifieds that seemed like they might be motivated. I would also “drive for dollars”, which is basically just driving neighborhoods, take down addresses, and then sending persona ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc letters here or there to owners of vacant houses inviting them to consider selling. But before too long, as I started to make some money, I began to find ways to do less chasing after deals, and doing more to make them come to me. I started marketing myself. Initially I started putting ads in my easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi local newspaper and sending out a few postcards. There was nothing particularly magical about what was in my ad or on my postcards – people so often get hung up on using just the right words. I just got out there and got my message in front of people and that’s what did the trick. Then more freque nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically tly I’d put some signs out in neighborhoods I wanted to buy houses in, which proved to be a pretty good move for me at the time, bringing in a steady stream of leads. Now fast forwarding to today, things are a little different for me. Today I’ve built a network of people, many of whom I’ve personal and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ y trained, who are responsible for bringing me most of the deals I do now. I have taught a lot of people in my area how to go out and find deals themselves. I teach them the same methods that I use to use. Then I just encourage them to bring the deals to me. And I pay dearly for the good leads that ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi they bring me – an average of about $10,000 per lead that I buy, paid at closing when I purchase. As a result of that I find that people are more than willing to bring me their deals. I’m typically the first person they think of as soon as they get something. They know I’ll pay and they know I’ll p ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a y well. So at first I had to go out and beat the streets looking for deals. And if you’re a beginner, with little-to-no cash available but a hunger for the business, then this may very well be your approach. Study the flipping homes business enough to learn what a good deal looks and smells like. dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod Learn your areas, your target zones, etc. Then hit the streets, just like I did, for the deals. Before too long, you should be able to put together a little cash – whether through saving or doing your first deal or two. Your next step is to begin transitioning, as I did, to more of a marketing app cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin oach. Attracting deals is much more efficient and effective than finding deals. I outline several marketing strategies that have been effective for me for years in my home study material, but you can also just look at your competition and see what’s working for them. Eventually you’ll get to the p tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen oint I am today, where somebody else is doing almost all of the front end deal-finding labor, such as taking phone calls, meeting people at their homes, etc. My network of colleague investors is golden to me. Now don’t get me wrong. I still market myself. I still put ads in the paper, look on the t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel web, look at the MLS here and there, etc. But I don’t do those things nearly as much as I used to simply because I don’t have to. I’d say about 70% of my deals come through my network. I’m not a high volume wholesaler anymore. My style is to do fewer deals but ensure they’re quality deals with hi ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust h profit margins. I’d rather leave all the smaller deals for someone else at this point, because I do very, very well on the fewer quality deals that I do. And because of the way my network of birddogs is set up at this point, by the time a deal gets to me, it’s already been worked through. I know y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products hat my purchase price is; typically, I’ve trained them so that they’ve already got it under contract and there’s little-to-no negotiating left to do. If I like the deal, I take it. If I don’t, I pass. Can you start out like this? No. But you’ll get there. How should you get started right now? . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de ol> Both approaches are good, valid and profitable. But the best fit for you depends on your knowledge, experience level, resources and where you are in the overall real e elopment.

The most important thing is that you're doing SOMETHING about finding deals, which is already more than most people who want to "get started" in real estate investing through flipping homes, but never even get off the ground. Don't let this be your fate.
