EP 42: We Buy Houses & The LA Wildfires
The wildfires that have ravaged southern California have been devastating and massive in their destruction. With an estimated $50+ Billion worth of damages as nearly 20,000 structures have been damaged across the region, there is no doubt that the region needs help. In recent news, the Governor of California has condemned what is considered a "land grab" of investors sweeping in to buy from distressed owners.
In this episode, Courtney discusses the ethics of marketing to a region, especially virtually, in the wake of a natural disaster to see if sellers want to sell. Whether this is via cold calls, cold texts, We Buy houses bandit signs or direct mailers, Courtney discusses the bad stigma investors get in general but especially in the wake of such moments. With the major events that have happened in Maui, Tampa, Western North Carolina, etc, this topic is necessary, especially for us who consider ourselves Solution Based Investors who seek out motivated sellers to offer solutions. Tune in and let us know your thoughts!
"Since January 7, 2025, a series of 31 wildfires have affected the Los Angeles metropolitan area and surrounding regions. As of January 22, 2025, the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire remain active, both being the largest of the 31." (Per Wikipedia)
