With so many houses going in up in foreclosure is it smart for home owners to just walk away? That is what many home owners are doing in Michigan. There is a big push from a lot of authorities to just walk away from their mortgage and start all over again. Underwater mortgages are just the beginning.

Some now see this current economic condition to be the right time to market short sales. Is there a lot of money to be in this market in your part of the country?

Here is how you can make your real estate property really stand out -- MODERNIZE IT. We are on location in a quiet Royal Oak, Michigan neighborhood and we are going to remodel this old home into a hip, modern and liveable showplace.

Rivait Team is great at adding square footage onto a house and giving it a new look. Keep in mind that most of the homes in this neighborhood are actually quite old and stuck a bit in time. What we are doing here is enticing young buyers into this area.

Royal Oak is part of Metro Detroit and collects a lot of well educated people, young families and has a lot to offer. Many people like this part of Oakland County because of the great school systems and relatively safe neighborhoods.

Take a look...

Its been three years since I created any podcast episodes !
Can you believe it?

This is a recent one I created --

http://911copywriter.podomatic.com/entry/2011-05-26T17_22_29-07_00

This is still my favorite podcast company. It is a great system and if offers zero advertisements. You can talk as long as you like.

I mention somethings of interest for real estate people in these episodes:

* Social media
* How to find qualified prospects using the web
* Real estate leads
* Using viral media to get real estate/invsetors

 

Enjoy!

I realize this doesn't appeal to everybody but here is what I have on the table.

Fix and flip professionals and home renovators need investors. There is a good chance they need money since the banks are not cooperating. But its not just real estate professionals who cant get a break. I have noticed this happening for a wide range of industries. The banks are just not willing to play ball.

• So here is what I am going to do. I am going to funnel those investors to the people who need them most --  you, (the real estate professional). So if you fall into the falling categories I would like to hear from you.

1. Fix and flip homes
2. Home rennovation
3. Home builders
4. New project development
5. Large scale apartment rennovations

I need to see something from your team that would be appealing for an investor.

An ideal situation would be to find some ROI potential for the investor.
A quick turn around time frame for the investor would be another ideal scenario.

I have collected 6,000 investors from various pockets of industry from post dot com, real estate,
venture capital, and more. This could be a great connection for the right players.

You can contact me directly.

Its happening as we speak...

Detroit... Ahem... say what you will...
Some hate it.. some love it. But any way you look at it this is one controversial town. A lot of people do not realize that Metro Detroit is part of a big discussion right now with the Detroit 2020 movement.

For those who aren't familiar it goes something like this. In the year 2020 Detroit is going to be a totally changed city. There are great plans of it as a comeback city. Along with that comes new transportation, a thriving art scene, new real estate and neighborhood transformations.

That alone is intriguing. Now, fix and flip gurus are combing throughout S.E. Michigan looking for great deals to offer investors.

Here is the deal. There is going to be a lot of great opportunities here for investors. Check out the video on the site - and what Rivait Team says about the MLS sites....

We are truly living in marvellous times....

 

 

Sorry for Part II being so late.... I've been swamped - but here is an example of what it looks like to hit multiple locations at once with just one website. Im going to post the keywords section. Click on any link on this page and it will take you to multiple page 1 results... Its pretty impressive. This site has gone through a lot of revision and has been tweaked over time to get these results. http://www.1hydroponicsgardeningmichigan.org/keywords This particular site is for a retail store but it can be created for real estate as well. For those keeping score this is what the main site looks like on the front end.... http://www.1hydroponicsgardeningmichigan.org ** I have built these for different industries - the keywords and keyword count per page is very important. Of course, sitemaps, (all four different varieties) must be applied to your site.

WHAT IS TRAFFIC EXACTLY?

What is web site traffic and what does it really have to tell us? You know the first thing you always hear is that free web traffic is never really free. You have to pay for this one way or the other. Either you can do press releases or articles or get some pay per click traffic. This is either going to cost you time or money or both.

Here are some things you will want to keep in mind......

BOTS - The bots issue is something to watch  out for. These are little spiders that crawl through your site and take note of everything on your page. Whenever they "touch" your pictures, graphics and type elements it is going to register as a "hit". This doesn't mean that these are live eyeballs looking at your pages but are program bots.

** the error most people make here is that they get misinformed. They falsely believe that they are getting a million views a day. In reality they are only getting a couple of thousand people a day.

Massive Traffic - A lot of massive traffic services funnel lots of bots to crawl through your site to raise your hit counter. These are not real people. You can see this extension in your traffic reports....   .BOT   Google has this and so does Yahoo. 

Be on the lookout for this when you are doing lots of pay per click campaigns.

The only thing that really counts is UNIQUE VIEWERS. This means live people.

I don't believe in the concept of "massive traffic". You have to have a substantial number of web pages out there to make this concept a true reality.
