Real Estate Offer Strategies

Jun 8, 2025

Summary

  • This session was Day 2 of the 100 Offer Challenge, focused on the practical steps of making multiple offers in real estate, specifically using manual and automated methods.
  • Attendees received a comprehensive walkthrough of offer calculation formulas for both houses and land, with live demonstrations using Freedomsoft tools.
  • The main goal was to prepare and generate at least 30 offers as homework using either manual calculations or automation via the Market Analyzer.
  • Key announcements included the importance of action over analysis, details about accessing needed tools, and reminders for Day 3’s upcoming training.

Action Items

  • Tonight – All Attendees: Prepare offer prices for 30 properties and mark them green in Freedomsoft, using either the manual or automated method.
  • Tonight – All Attendees: (If not completed) Build your list of opportunities from Day 1 and catch up on homework as needed.
  • Tonight – Attendees opting for automation: Purchase and add the Market Analyzer to your Freedomsoft account via provided link using your login email.
  • Ongoing – All Attendees: Post homework completion and progress updates in the Facebook group and encourage others.

Day 1 Recap and Foundations for Day 2

  • Emphasized the rule: "Make offers to make money" and the importance of massive, imperfect action.
  • Recapped the need for a built list of opportunities; those who haven’t completed this step should do so.
  • Reinforced the objective of creating consistent, daily habits for making offers.
  • Outlined access details for VIP and Market Analyzer tools.

Offer Calculation Methods – Houses

  • Two main offer calculation anchors: After Repaired Value (ARV) for flips and Gross Rents for rentals.
  • Manual steps for houses:
    • Determine ARV using comparable sales.
    • Deduct estimated closing, loan, holding, repair costs, and desired profit to calculate the Max Allowable Offer (MAO).
    • As a wholesaler, further deduct your wholesale/assignment fee from the buyer’s MAO.
  • Demonstrated how to average Freedomsoft's estimate and manually selected comps for ARV, then multiply by 60% to get the offer price.
  • Simplified formula provided: Offer = ARV Ă— 60%.

Offer Calculation Methods – Land

  • Hard way:
    • Average the three lowest similar active listings, discount by ~10-15% for quick sale, then subtract costs and desired profit.
  • Easy way:
    • Offer = Intended list price Ă— 40%.
  • Stressed the importance of being under 50% of list price for offers.
  • Reiterated flexibility: Adjust offers if unknown factors arise; contracts allow for inspection period renegotiations.

Freedomsoft Demonstrations

  • Manual Method (Houses & Land):
    • Select comparable values, calculate ARV, apply formula, and enter/mark offer in Freedomsoft.
  • Automated Method (Houses & Land):
    • Use Market Analyzer to bulk-generate offers for selected records in seconds.
    • Demonstrated how dynamic settings can be adjusted (offer percentages, repair estimates, wholesale fees, etc.).
    • Showed generating both single offer and offer price range (low/high) for sellers.

Mindset and Practical Guidance

  • Addressed common analysis paralysis—emphasized making offers quickly rather than seeking exact numbers.
  • Explained that imperfection is acceptable; contracts provide inspection contingencies for adjustments.
  • Highlighted the value and time savings of automation over manual entry.
  • Offered an example showing that sending out large batches of offers results in seller engagement, even if some offers require later negotiation.

Homework and Next Steps

  • Homework: Use Market Analyzer (automation) or manual methods to calculate and enter offer prices for 30 records, then mark them green.
  • Post progress in the Facebook group and support other participants.
  • Encouraged all participants to access Freedomsoft and add Market Analyzer for streamlined processing.

Decisions

  • Use of automation is highly recommended for offer preparation — due to significant time savings and avoidance of analysis paralysis.
  • Target of 30 prepared offers as daily homework — establishes the new habit of making consistent daily offers.

Open Questions / Follow-Ups

  • For attendees who missed building their property list: Are there additional resources or office hours to help them catch up?
  • Will further customization (such as split mailings, alternative templates) be discussed in upcoming sessions?
