Mike Arch is a founder of Alamo Home Source and is partners with Erik Saengerhausen who joined us for episode 27.  Mike has been flipping for many years and has flipped hundreds of houses.  He currently focuses on creating and selling real estate notes.
 
On today’s episode, we talk about how to find the “right” real estate agents, attorney, title company/closer for your house flipping business.
 
This biggest take away from this episode is that taking the time to find the team members that care as much about your business as you do is paramount.  There are agents out there that always work with a sense of urgency and are great for real estate investors because you cannot steal in slow motion (meaning not to steal, but to get the great deals :)). 
 
We discussed the best way to find agents doing great things in the areas you are investing or want to flip in and how to approach them so that they know who you are and can send you great deals.
 
It might surprise you to know that many agents that list a lot of houses don’t necessarily want their name on a junker house so they’d prefer not to list it.  If they know you are a ready and able buyer, they can let you know about those properties before they go on the market.  It’s a true win, win.
 
We also discussed how to find the right escrow officer or closer at a title company to close your transactions.  Find out what fees are negotiable as well as the tips that pros use to save themselves time and money.
 
We also discuss the right kind of attorney to find.  Obviously, you’ll want a real estate focused attorney.  We talk about how we both have spent too much money in the past because we didn’t know how to approach and talk with attorneys.  Don’t make the same mistakes, listen to this episode and gain the advantage.
