Summer is coming and bringing with it 2012’s peak home buying season. Real estate investors cannot afford to underestimate the importance of cranking up their marketing to capitalize on the demand and the need to add a little extra sizzle to their campaign over the next few weeks.
Summer is hot for real estate investors flipping houses. Between homeowners needing to sell and find new housing before the new school year starts and vacationers getting swept up in the emotion of the moment and staking their claims to second homes it’s all go.
This year will likely even be hotter than ever before between the looming deadline for the best benefits of completing short sales before August and low mortgage interest rates. Investors who haven’t crafted a special set of marketing campaigns to kick off and position themselves as the top source for great properties this summer are going to be suffering and lagging behind well into next year.
Real estate investors need to establish dominance in their area quickly. The competition will be turning up the heat on their advertising campaigns that’s for sure. So why not blow them out of the water with a big splash to sweep up the summer home sales rush in your region? Think press releases broadcast across the web, getting featured in the local newspaper and community newsletters, cranking up PPC ad volume and swarming the streets with new signs.
Remember that the pressure is also on all types of other local organizations right now too. Your city probably has a sizable budget for attracting extra visitors in the summer months, while travel related companies and websites are pumping up their efforts too. Look for opportunities to collaborate, put together events, share lists and exchange guest blogs.
Property prices are incredibly low and interest rates never better so there should be no reason the majority of home shoppers out there can’t get a deal. Have homes to flip and having trouble selling because of potential buyer’s lack of down payment and money for closing costs? Well, the good news is that the Fed recently reported American banks loosening credit standards for all types of consumer loans and credit cards since the beginning of 2012. Could some of these lending channels work for funding down payments and closing costs? What about state and local down payment assistance programs?
With easy access to ‘all-you-can-eat’ cash in the form of transactional funding for investors the only thing holding you back from flipping an incredible amount of homes over the next few months is your marketing..

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."

"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
"To you I say, ”KUDOS to Best Transactional Funding and Thank you for providing the education and services to Real Estate Entrepreneurs like me. Please keep up the good work!'"

Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
