š Book Drop: How Do I Know I Am Paying A Fair Price For Investment Property? By William Hawthorn
What You Will Learn From This Book ā¦A big challenge in real estate investing these days is buying houses at a deep discount consistently so they can replace their income by buying property at the right price. So many students and clients tell me stories of how houses they make offers on often (like almost every time) get overbid and sold right out from under them. Only to find out, many times the folks who outbid them almost never have a formula and donāt know they are paying too much until itās too late. In this book, you will get the exact formulas you need to guide you through any deal so you donāt lose your lifeās savings on any deal. This simple to read guide is a must for any investor.Testimonials on bottom of back of cover:What Others Have To Say About Bill Hawthorn ā¦Very informative, motivational and explained in a way that anyone can succeed. The information is laid out in a way so I cold just get out there and do it.

š Imagine Thisā¦
You find the perfect house. Great curb appeal. Killer price. Motivated seller.
But youāve got no buyer.
That beautiful deal? Worthless.
Because a property without a buyer is like a stage with no audience. It looks great, but no oneās showing up.
š Buyer Types 101 ā Cash vs. Terms
Letās break this down. There are two kinds of buyers you need to master:
šµ Cash Buyers
They want speed and savings. Theyāre flippers, landlords, or quick movers.
š Pro Tip: You donāt need a massive discount. Even a 5% spread can earn you a clean profit without ever touching the property.
Example:
Market value: $400K
You lock it up at $380K
Sell to a cash buyer for $385K
Clean $5K profit, no holding costs, no headaches.
Everyone wins.
š§¾ Terms Buyers
These buyers are GOLD for creative investors.
They care less about priceāand more about monthly affordability and financing.
Your value to them? Youāre the bank. š³
And when you control the financing, you control the income.
š Pricing Rule:
Keep your markup at 5ā10% above market value. Too high, and youāll scare them off. Just right, and you create an income stream that can last years.
šµļø Buyer-Driven Due Diligence ā Let Them Do the Work
Ready for a power move? Structure your deals using option agreements.
Hereās what happens:
Your buyer pays for the Option to buy
They do their own homework (title, inspection, comps)
They reveal red flags before you commit fully
Translation: You outsource due diligence without paying a dime.
Let that sink in.
š£ Marketing Like a Pro ā Get in Front of Buyers Fast
Today, youāve got marketing firepower that used to cost thousandsāfor free.
Hereās where to list your deals:
ā Zillow
ā Avail.co (syndicates to 19+ sites)
ā Facebook Marketplace
ā Craigslist
ā Local Facebook investor groups
Add clear photos, a compelling headline, andāthis is keyāhighlight the terms available. Thatās what separates you from the pack.
š¤ Are You Making This Mistake?
Too many investors obsess over the property. The kitchen. The ARV. The seller.
But hereās the truth: The buyer is the deal.
If youāve got a solid buyer, you can find a property that fits them like a glove. Not the other way around.
In fact, the fastest way to profit in creative real estate?
ā
Build your buyer list first.
ā
Ask what they want.
ā
Go find it.
Now youāre not guessingāyouāre fulfilling demand.
š§ Action Time ā Flip the Script
Ask yourself: š Am I focusing on finding great buyers⦠or just great houses?
Because when you master the buyer side:
Your deals move faster
Your negotiations improve
Your income becomes more consistent
This is how the pros do it.
