Zillow Homes For Sale By Owner - 8 Step Tutorial to Find Houses to Flip

Hi Jerry you’re a flipping genius … please send the link to your list

This is a stunning pop endousteaching.

Hey Jerry I came across this video today (7/11/23) I wanted to know can you do (not sure if you have) an update video on this strategy of using Zillow in today's market? I'm interested in knowing if this strategy would work in today's market? Thanks

As always great presentation Jerry, this will help me in my wholesaling business, thank you 😊

Hi Jerry. Great vid - thanks!
Question: How can you tell if a property has water and sewer, or if it has well and septic?
   I have watched hundreds of videos like and including yours, over the years, which are invaluable to my R.E. investing. But this is one question I have never found a good answer to.

   Without doing a lot of manual work, how do you find out if a property is on city water and sewer, or if it has a well and septic? I do not want the potential problems of buying a well and septic property.
   Listing agents frequently make no mention of that attribute in their listings, so it is not possible to do a search on MLS, Trulia, etc., with any hope of accuracy or completeness.
   It is obvious that properties deep in city or suburban areas have city utilities, and that properties far outside those areas do not. But what about all those properties near the edges of the utility service areas? How can you tell?
    The only advice I have received is to find the property address for each one, then call up each utility and ask them to check if they service that one address. While this does work, it is an enormous time waster for reaseaching multiple properties.
  Some utilities have large printed books with plat maps that indicate their serviced properties, but they are usually the property of the utility and you can only view them there on-site.
    Another bit of advice is to drive through areas and see if they have "manhole" covers in the street, which indicate sewers. This is not always accurate, and just because there is a main in the street doesn’t mean every home in that neighborhood is connected to it. It is just not a professionally accurate method of data collection.
   This is a huge stumbling block for me. Do you have any better suggestions?
   Thanks!

Extremely helpful

Beautiful presentation Jerry. Just wanted to know, do you make the call first and then the analysis, or vice versa?

Hi Jerry. Is there a new version of Zillow? Because the one I have only has home type and not listing type at the top. Where can I find this filter?

thank you Jerry !

Your downloads are not free. Already saw video for flipster. Do not need to see it again.

thank you

Hey flippping GENIUS!!!

What’s your take on asking an FSBO owner to fill out a sellers disclosure ? Do you normally send the owner a disclosure form to fill ? Or what’s your advice on how to handle this ?

Great presentation, and i learned a lot as a beginner.. Thank You Jerry

Hey Jerry what happens if the owner says ok how soon can you pay out.

Great video but in 2021 does this still work?

I wish you had a huge website with everything thing on it. I would pay for that

Appreciate this info. Thanks Mr Flipping Genius!

I love the details of this video. This helped me greatly . Thanks !

Flipping homes is downright EVIL! No one should be encouraging people to do this. There is a nation wide housing crisis. We need homes for regular middle class people to buy. Flipping homes ruins the market and drives up cost. BOOOO!

Hi can i have the Call calling script??

Ahhhhh the deal analyzer is down didn't realize how much I use it

jerry, the fsbo listings are just supposed to have properrties that are posted by OWNERS, not wholesalers, but lately I have been finding properties by wholesalers. Is there any way to find out if theyre a wholesaler or an owner, and if so is the best way just to ask them?

Norton, I'm am definitely implementing this. But it feels like if I come across a potential deal, I may find that it's another wholesalers' listing that they have under contract. How can I avoid contracting with another wholesaler and daisy chaining the deal! Is there a video in your vault about this 🤔

I just visited Zillow and checked the for sale by owner, and unchecked the sale by agent. The listings still have a "contact agent" button although provided by seller. No seller info. That's in the Bountiful area of Utah.

I always see message agent I don't ever see message sellar and you scroll down it has a list of agents to contact

This is a great video, but with the feature gone...is there an update?

Hey, Jerry --- great video always. I'm just slightly confused on one point, though --- sourcing deals in which there is already another wholesaler. Doesn't this just create a sort of daisy-chain of wholesalers getting the deal under contract from the other wholesalers who listed the deal, but with all that, no actual cash end-buyers?
Isn't the point to be the single wholesaler that has the PA contract directly with the actual property owner? Or is the point to JV with those wholesalers that already have the signed PA contract with the seller. If you can clarify that point, that will be greatly appreciated. Because I thought that the idea was to deal directly with the property owners when sourcing deals, and attempting to get the deals under contract with the seller --- not sourcing deals that already have other wholesalers involved.

Please take this down Zillow is different now

How do I use the deal analyzer on other homes? it only allows me to use homes Ive got saved on flipster

I have some leads that i have gotten from other wholesalers that im working with. Are you interested. I am a member of your 10k club. The deal fits your criteria. Let me know asap

Jerry
Have U ever thought of finding a person who can finance a property jointly with U?

Hi Jerry I’m trying to contact the seller through Zillow but I don’t see any #’s listed

As a wholesaler, how you make an offer on homes that don’t need fixed up?

Zillow is no longer offering the "Make me Move" feature.

Hey Jerry, did Zillow recently update their website. I do not see the "Make me Move" option. However, I do see questions asked about setting for this option, but it's the mobile app. Do you know how to find it on desktop?

When a house is for sale by owner is it possible that they still have a mortgage payment or does that mean the house is paid off? A bit confused

Bummer! Zillow dropped its “make me move” feature. Is that true?

Is the closing timeline much shorter when it’s a cash offer? Is that why you’re able to close quickly?

Thank you brother, this information is valuable, I Thank You, keep it coming.

Hi Jerry, your videos have expanded my education and confidence negating that little voice in my head shutting me down. How do you get your offers out so quickly? Using this system the houses I’m looking at are spread out, comps are different for each one. Would you comp each lead every time to get ARV and ball park price or call the seller first?

fantastic, I've always used zillow for a ton of things but this was a great system that I hadn't thought of using. My potential leads list just absolutely exploded.
If we meet in person I'll buy you a beer.
I can't tell you how grateful I am that there are people like you who try to bring as much value as you do to other peoples lives and some day I hope I can do the same.

jerry, As a wholesaler trying to find deals for you for the 10K club, obviously like you said I want to have the inspection contingency and the ability to assign the contract. How can I make sure that the seller is okay using my contract with all the contingency clauses, should I just say "I have my own P&S contract that we can use" or should I say "We can use your contract but it has to have these contingencies"?

jerry, when you follow the selling script and get a price from the seller, do you need to do some sort of due diligence beforehand to find out what is a reasonable offer, and then only if the seller is close to that number, do you make an appointment to meet him?

Jerry, Does "Please do your due diligence before making an offer" mean "I am not going to allow for an inspection contingency"

Jerry, one of the things for wholesaling is to have contingencies in the contract. What if the listing is through a realtor or a wholesaler who will not allow contingencies, should I move on in that case

When putting a contract on property FSBO on Zillow, how do I keep the cash buyer from seeing how much it was originally listed for, when he checks Zillow for comps? Or should I even care? Just seems like they’ll see how I acquired it and figure I didn’t do anything for them that they couldn’t do for themselves...

This was great...thank you so much
