Guillaume Black says investors stuck without deals for a year don't have a bad strategy, they have analysis paralysis. He prescribes five viewings a week, an offer on every property, and weekly follow-ups for 90 days. Volume and vendor conversations beat perfect spreadsheets.

If you've been on this property thing for 12 months with no deals, the strategy isn't the problem. How many viewings have you done in the past month? You know, how many offers? If the answer is just a handful or less than a handful, that's the diagnosis. You don't need a new course. You need to do the stuff. Most investors in this position are stuck in analysis paralysis, perfecting spreadsheets instead of picking up the phone. They are projecting their strategy onto the vendors who aren't interested instead of finding the vendor's motivation and finding the vendors who really want to sell. The fix is you do 5 viewings a week. So offer on everything you view, follow up each and every week. Do this for 90 days and everything changes. It's not It's not about finding the perfect deal, it's about creating enough conversations for the right one to emerge.
