info_outlineThe guest I have on today isn’t just a real estate investor. She likes to call herself a real estate matchmaker. Whitney Nicely is making deals in Tennessee that are out of this world. She’s got confidence, enthusiasm, and enough Southern charm to make her real estate investment strategy really shine. She even uses pink ‘I Buy Houses’ signs to attract buyers! But that’s not the only thing she’s got going on. On today’s episode of Real Estate Profit Masters, Whitney Nicely breaks down her leasing option investment strategy and shares her tricks for getting to the top of this business in just three years.
Whitney calls herself a matchmaker because she looks at her leasing options like a marriage. Her real estate investment strategy succeeds because she really builds relationships with the people she works with. She knows that a leasing contract means working together for 3, 5, even 10 years, and the kinder and more honest you are with your clients the more likely they are to continue working with you. These relationships also pay off when you want to renegotiate. Whitney’s trick for making the most for her money is renegotiating with the sellers. She shares the technique she uses with sellers to get her in, out, and done, which gives her more time to really focus on her properties and tenants.
A big thing Whitney and I discuss in today’s episode is control in our business. Right now, Whitney is a one-woman show and she’s really killing it. But being able to let go or walk away from pet projects or menial tasks is a huge part of being an entrepreneur. Part of your real estate investment strategy should be taking yourself out of the equation. You want to free up your time to focus on the things that really matter, and it’s even better if you can work remotely! Whitney has properties throughout Tennessee and Georgia, and she’s looking into Florida now, so tune in and hear how – in the words of Ron LeGrand – you can do less and make more!
