If you truly want to be successful in real estate investing and do it as a full time job, or even if you want to be really good at it part time, then you have to build systems. Effective systems for everything.

Some of the systems that you need to have are: 1. Lead generation (for buying houses and finding buyers for your deals) 2. Lead processing (a system to handle the leads once you get them) 3. Closing system. Most important of them all is the system to handle your buyers.

Set up a system that attracts to you the buyers looking for the kind of deals you have. Among all things, it must be able to whittle them down. Meaning, the system should separate tire kickers from true buyers, so that you don’t have to respond to everyone who shows just a little interest. If you don’t have this system, you will not be selling a lot of properties and you will be wasting a lot of time.
