The problem it solves
This service helps real estate investors find hidden opportunities in the market, particularly in properties that may not be openly listed for sale, thus increasing their chances of securing profitable investments.
How it makes money
The business could make money through a fee charged to real estate investors for successful leads or a commission on deals closed through the connections made.
Skills you need
Essential skills include networking, real estate market analysis, and negotiation skills to effectively match properties with interested buyers.
The market, and why this works now
Most real estate investors overlook estate sales as a source for undervalued properties. The recent popularity of online estate sale platforms, such as Everything But The House, allows for easier discovery of potential deals. A viable first-revenue move could involve charging a commission on leads generated through targeted ads on Inman, a prominent real estate news site. In the first year, the founder will likely face challenges in establishing a reliable network of estate sale contacts, which can limit the volume of leads generated.
