[10]

[12]
investor you might have a property or
[14]
two but you want to do a lot more well
[16]
this video is going to be for you you're
[18]
going to want to watch this and learn
[19]
about these apps these are apps that i
[20]
use in my daily business both as a
[23]
broker but also just as a real estate
[25]
junkie
[26]
thanks for watching my channel i'm brian
[28]
johnson with windermere valley liberty
[30]
lake
[31]
the first one i want to talk about is
[32]
home snap home snap is kind of like the
[35]
instagram of apps for home searches it
[39]
it's very visual and it it scrolls
[42]
like instagram does
[44]
and it has a unique feature let's say
[46]
you're driving around and you see a
[47]
property
[48]
and you want to obviously know about
[50]
that property but you can't quite get
[51]
the address you don't want to get close
[53]
to the property and read the house
[54]
number you just aim the app that's on
[56]
your phone at the house hit the button
[58]
and that it will pull the information
[60]
let's go ahead and take a look at that
[61]
this is how it works
[63]
so here you are you frame the house in
[65]
the app right here you snap a picture of
[67]
it it pulls it up right here on the map
[70]
and it gives you the information public
[72]
information on and off market it gives
[74]
you the value of the house
[75]
great information right here without
[77]
having to go too deep
[79]
google earth is a really really cool app
[82]
it's really good if you're looking to
[84]
buy a house or maybe you're out of area
[86]
and you want to know what's around the
[87]
house or even you've driven by the
[90]
property or you've been shown the
[92]
property it's a really good idea to pull
[94]
that property up on google earth and
[96]
look what's around it like what's out of
[98]
its visual distance
[100]
you you can really get a good idea maybe
[102]
there's something beyond the property
[104]
that's behind the fence line or behind a
[106]
hill that you can't see
[108]
and you want to know about that you
[109]
might not see that driving around and
[111]
there's a really good example here in
[112]
spokane this is where the
[115]
say the dump is it's not quite the dump
[118]
that's where they it's not where you and
[119]
i would go to dump our stuff but the big
[121]
recycling dump trucks
[123]
and they hide it behind these hills and
[125]
if you're looking for a property
[127]
let me show you right here
[129]
as you can see you wouldn't see any of
[131]
this from the road at all
[133]
virtual staging is really cool now this
[136]
isn't i'm not going to show you one on
[137]
my phone i'm going to show you one on
[139]
the desktop and it's not free this one's
[141]
gonna cost you i think they charge
[143]
about 15 per photo to virtually stage
[146]
your house
[147]
so let's say you've got a property it
[150]
doesn't even have to be vacant it you
[152]
can but with a vacant property you take
[154]
pictures and then you insert furniture
[157]
and then on your listing at least
[159]
when people look at it online they'll at
[161]
least get a better idea of what it looks
[162]
like with furniture and staging this is
[165]
super super important staging always
[167]
pays off
[169]
so of course when the people go to look
[171]
at the house if it's vacant the staging
[173]
items are not going to be there but they
[175]
would have had a good idea
[177]
looking at it online also some staging
[179]
apps you can put your own furniture in
[182]
there or you can put
[184]
certain design furniture if you know the
[185]
brand name and see how that looks in
[187]
that space
[188]
but you might have a let's say you have
[189]
a rental property now it's vacant or a
[191]
nice home and it's vacant and you want
[192]
to sell it you want to stage it but you
[193]
don't want to spend thousands and
[195]
thousands of dollars for staging well
[197]
for just a few hundred dollars you can
[198]
get that done so let's look at this
[200]
virtual staging but we're going to i'm
[201]
going to show it to you on my computer
[203]
so here we are for virtual staging this
[205]
is visual stager.com
[208]
and this you can see it's kind of
[209]
designed for agent brokers and
[211]
photographers and of course resellers
[213]
but you here's how it works
[217]
you upload a photo they can remove any
[220]
existing furniture or clutter and then
[223]
you can select from different furniture
[224]
pieces to put in your picture here's
[226]
kind of an idea of what it looks like
[228]
right here
[229]
see this is a room i can this is
[230]
actually a totally empty room and i can
[233]
start moving things around virtual
[234]
staging i can move this over here oop
[237]
probably don't want that there i'm not
[238]
much of a stager put that back
[242]
and then we can move this table a little
[243]
bit
[244]
so you can kind of get an idea here of
[246]
what how this works
[248]
um
[250]
and pricing this kind of
[252]
so this is really good if you're going
[253]
to spend
[254]
it's worth staging is always worth it
[256]
you make you make your money back on
[257]
stage you can cost thousands of dollars
[259]
to stage your house
[261]
but if you at least want it staged
[263]
online for pictures
[265]
um on the mls
[267]
for a few hundred bucks at the most you
[269]
can easily do that right here let me
[271]
show you the pricing the way this works
[273]
let's go up to the pricing so looks like
[276]
okay so you it works on the credit
[277]
system it's 15 for 10 credits one photo
[280]
is 10 credits
[283]
so it's 15 bucks per photo so you could
[285]
have four rooms done for about 60
[287]
dollars furniture removal is eight
[289]
credits to remove one or two items so
[291]
you speed spending another 15 bucks to
[294]
remove the other busy room you want to
[295]
remove some stuff you might spend 15 or
[297]
30 again per picture to remove that
[300]
stuff
[300]
but for a couple hundred dollars you
[302]
could have five or six really nice stage
[304]
photos in your property and that's a lot
[306]
better online than just seeing them
[308]
completely vacant trust me it's way
[310]
better and it's worth that money spent
[313]
so deal machine is a cool cool app for
[316]
both investors and home buyers
[318]
so it's called driving for dollars and
[321]
deal machine works like this you have an
[322]
app up it has a map and as you're
[324]
driving
[325]
along in your car while you have the app
[328]
up the map is showing
[330]
and you see you see a house oh look off
[332]
to the left there's a house maybe it
[333]
looks a little run down a fixer-upper
[335]
i'd like to be i want to make an offer
[336]
on that so you hit the button and it
[339]
automatically sends out a campaign now
[341]
people use these for different reasons
[342]
realtors might use it to get listings
[344]
and big campaigns
[345]
but and again this is not a free app
[348]
i'll show it to you um but when you're
[350]
driving around you hit that button and
[352]
you can have a campaign that sends out a
[354]
letter a letter from you dear mrs
[357]
homeowner my name's brian johnson and
[359]
i'd like to make an offer to purchase
[361]
your property i've driven by it and i'm
[364]
a local investor i'm a local buyer that
[366]
wants to buy a home whatever your letter
[367]
wants to say so as you're driving around
[370]
you just hit that button and it sends
[371]
those letters out
[372]
it keeps track of where you've driven
[374]
what letters you've sent out
[376]
and it's super super handy if you want
[379]
to make offers on properties
[381]
that aren't listed
[382]
also if you're just like i said if
[384]
you're just a
[385]
a person that's wanting to buy a
[386]
property and you can't find anything but
[388]
you're going to buy something off market
[390]
this is the tool you want to use now
[393]
homebot is a really really good analysis
[396]
of what your property is worth it'll
[399]
show you what you owe on your property
[400]
and it gives you a breakdown also what
[402]
your property would rent for in airbnb
[405]
what your refinance options are or if
[407]
you were to sell it what kind of a house
[409]
or what what value a price point you'd
[411]
be able to purchase in
[413]
and it all you do is put your ad put
[415]
your address or if you want to know what
[416]
someone else's house is worth you just
[418]
put the address in
[420]
here it is here i'll show you two on the
[421]
desktop and this is how it works and
[423]
what the full report looks like so here
[425]
you are in homebot you just put the
[427]
address any address of a home you want
[429]
really basically um it'll autofill if it
[431]
can if not just put in the address
[433]
select the property
[434]
and as you can see right here
[437]
you are going to get the estimate of the
[438]
value of the home right there
[440]
and as you scroll down
[442]
yeah you're not going to get the
[444]
information you want for free right here
[445]
but if you put your email address in
[446]
there i cut it out you'll get a full
[448]
report by email every month it gives you
[450]
your current mortgage balance how much
[452]
money you're making on assets increasing
[454]
in value it shows you positives or
[457]
negatives for doing a refinance
[459]
it shows you what you've paid in
[460]
principal
[461]
interest so far on the mortgage um as
[464]
you scroll down right here you can see
[466]
15-year fixed how much you save on the
[467]
refinance and arm how much you'd save
[469]
but these are different options what
[470]
you'd save
[471]
right here you can 150 per month more
[474]
you'd save 28 000 on your mortgage if
[476]
you bump that to 200 a month you save 35
[479]
000 on your mortgage
[481]
and also these are showing you some
[482]
different options for purchasing the new
[484]
home how much you could purchase or if
[485]
you were to purchase them sell them by a
[487]
rental and what you bring it for an
[489]
airbnb
[491]
now deal check isn't free it's a paid
[494]
subscription service for part of it but
[496]
parts of it you can use for free and i'm
[498]
going to show you the free part here
[500]
and that is being able to do a property
[502]
analysis for a rental and property
[504]
analysis if you want to do a flip
[507]
also it attaches to a rent estimator
[510]
program and i'll show you that here but
[512]
let's step into the mobile version and
[514]
i'll put in the rent analysis on the
[516]
flip
[517]
and then we're going to check if the
[518]
rental also the rental app part of it
[521]
so here i've already entered a home i
[523]
pulled the numbers off the mls we have
[525]
accurate information this is a property
[526]
that's under contract
[528]
but you put you put your property in
[530]
here um the address the property type
[533]
house number of bedrooms you know all
[535]
the small details of the lot size and
[537]
the zoning and all of that stuff that
[539]
you can get you put in the purchase
[541]
price after repair value what you think
[543]
it'd be worth your financing terms if it
[545]
was hard money this is set for hard
[547]
money um
[549]
the total of the rehab i estimated a
[550]
hundred thousand dollars in rehab
[553]
and the 400 000 sale price so you go
[555]
down to property analysis right here and
[557]
it's going to give you a breakdown of
[559]
how that works out um with your down
[561]
payment and your rehab costs and as you
[564]
scroll down it's going to show you your
[565]
loan costs it's going to show you your
[567]
after repair value your price per square
[569]
foot rehab price per square foot some of
[571]
the breakdown of your loan
[573]
this is a really good analysis if you're
[575]
basically wanting to do some rental
[577]
properties and do it off
[579]
right there on your phone and do a
[580]
really quick analysis i think this is a
[582]
really good program it also leads you to
[584]
rent cast so you can estimate rentals of
[587]
a property
[588]
you just put in here your address and
[591]
then you put in the property type and
[592]
you put in you'll see a single family
[595]
you put in a number of bedrooms and
[596]
bathrooms
[597]
and they'll give you a good a good
[599]
rental estimate also if you're thinking
[601]
of renting in the area
[603]
pick a house that you like and put the
[604]
address and it'll tell you what that
[606]
house goes for you can see this one 2259
[608]
that's pretty close i think that's fair
[609]
shows you rental comps which is really
[612]
important
[613]
and you can go drive by and take a look
[614]
at those that's really really valuable
[617]
the other rental app is called
[618]
rent-o-meter let's compare that one to
[621]
this one rental meter usually comes a
[623]
little bit high but put in the same
[624]
address
[626]
and we'll put in um the same bedrooms
[629]
and bathrooms
[630]
and we'll see where we're at on this but
[632]
i bet you it's a little bit high
[634]
um let's see four bedroom and then we
[636]
got one and a half more bath actually i
[638]
have three
[639]
and search yeah see this one's a little
[640]
bit high the average of 2700 i think
[643]
that might be a little bit high but i
[644]
would compare these two if i was going
[646]
to rip my house out right now and i
[648]
might just average them out and that
[649]
might be a good starting point um this
[651]
one doesn't have as many comps that you
[653]
can look at without paying for it so
[654]
that's a problem
[656]
now this is a cool little app i use on
[658]
my phone
[659]
it's called it's just a bubble it's a
[660]
level app look it's like this right here
[662]
you guys it's just a bubble
[664]
and it has a beep it beeps when you hit
[667]
right there i probably won't be able to
[668]
do it while i'm holding it because it's
[670]
really tight
[671]
but you're let's say you're looking at
[672]
the property you want to know is the
[674]
floor sloping or you see a counter and
[677]
it looks kind of off you want to see if
[678]
it's sloping or you look at the doorway
[681]
and the doorway might look a little
[682]
funky
[683]
well usually most people aren't bringing
[685]
big long levels to a showing even
[688]
realtors or buyers or anything no one's
[689]
bringing that but if you have it on your
[691]
phone you can just set your phone on
[693]
the surface and test it now this last
[696]
one i'm going to show you is called the
[697]
gps fields area app
[699]
and it is a it pulls images up from
[702]
google's satellite
[703]
and you can measure the area of a field
[706]
and you know how many acres is it how
[708]
many square feet is it you can also
[709]
measure distances you work it on your
[711]
phone
[712]
you pull the property up and you
[714]
let me drop into the app right here on
[716]
my phone and let me show you exactly how
[718]
you can use it it's really kind of cool
[720]
so you put you pick a property
[722]
just there there's on the map
[725]
and let's pick a um
[728]
manual measuring gps is if you drive it
[730]
in your car but this is just going to
[731]
measure from the map
[733]
you pick the two points
[735]
you drag a middle point up there and
[737]
let's try and get this kind of close
[739]
here and look at this field and see how
[740]
many how many acres this field really is
[744]
so let's zoom in i think i can get this
[745]
a little bit tighter
[747]
um let's pick that corner out
[749]
let's get this up a little bit here
[752]
and let's get to that other corner yeah
[753]
i think i can do this a little bit nicer
[756]
more accurate right here 18 acres i know
[758]
it's a little bigger than that
[760]
draw that out a little bit 19 acres i
[762]
might be off by a few feet i wouldn't
[763]
use this for legal descriptions by any
[765]
stretch of the imagination but it does
[767]
give you a good idea here 19 acres i
[769]
think this is a 20 acre field i did
[771]
measure it perfectly
[772]
now let's measure use the distance
[774]
measuring this is kind of handy let's
[776]
say you lived in this other property or
[778]
you were going to buy this other
[779]
property you're looking at it let's
[780]
scroll over here and take a look let's
[782]
say you have a property with a very long
[784]
driveway or some sort of a distance you
[786]
want to measure the feet you can do it
[787]
by walking driving gps or manual let's
[789]
do it by manual
[791]
so let's start right here this is how
[792]
far this guy has to haul his garbage out
[794]
to the main road starting from there
[795]
draw it up to the main road he's going
[797]
to draw that looks like about 800 feet
[800]
this is really good when you're looking
[801]
at properties
[802]
well i hope that helps that's 10 apps
[805]
that you can use in your business
[806]
one thing i wanted to mention if anyone
[808]
knows of a good
[810]
measuring app for android that's not a
[812]
paid app put it in the description below
[815]
i'd like to hear about it i went over a
[816]
lot of apps to trying to find a good
[818]
tape measure app for android
[820]
there wasn't one that wasn't a paid app
[822]
so i didn't want to drive you guys to
[824]
any sort of paid apps with bad
[826]
subscriptions there were some actually
[827]
had some subscriptions to try and trick
[829]
you into it so i'm not even going to
[830]
include those here if you know of any
[831]
let me know also on apple phones you
[834]
have the measurement section on your
[835]
phones where you have a bubble and you
[837]
also have some tape measuring apps and i
[839]
have i don't have an an apple but my
[841]
friend does and he he showed it to me
[843]
and that's fantastic so if you have an
[845]
apple look at your measuring app so you
[846]
can find the bubble and you can find the
[848]
tape measure right there
