Overview of Episode 34

In this episode of Real Investor Radio, Craig Fuhr and Jack BeVier discuss REI market shifts with Eli Fisher from Audantic. They examine how Audantic’s tools help real estate investors identify top buyers and adapt to shifting market trends.

Understanding Buyer Sonar Amid REI Market Shifts

Fisher introduces Buyer Sonar, a tool that tracks investor transactions by region. As a result, Buyer Sonar helps users identify which buyers pay top dollar for specific property types. Given these points, Buyer Sonar offers a competitive edge, allowing investors to adjust quickly and maximize profits.

Targeting Small Investors During REI Market Shifts

Buyer Sonar data reveals that most transactions are made by smaller “mom and pop” investors. In fact, these buyers often pay more than institutional investors, offering better opportunities for profit. For this reason, Audantic suggests focusing on smaller buyers to optimize acquisition strategies.

Navigating Changes in Lead Generation

Fisher also discusses new FCC regulations affecting lead generation. Stricter enforcement has reduced texting as a method for smaller wholesalers. Furthermore, new PPL regulations will soon impact lead acquisition. For this purpose, staying informed about these changes is essential for success as REI market shifts continue.

Preparing for Future REI Market Shifts

Fisher advises investors to adapt by sourcing new buyers and using data-driven strategies. Consequently, Audantic’s machine learning continuously monitors market activity, helping investors recognize emerging trends. Overall, this proactive approach equips investors to handle changes and capitalize on future REI market shifts.
