Thank you for your kind words!

That’s great that you’ve already started getting the word out to potential private money lenders. Now, you must continue planting seeds and setting up appointments to present your program to. Start making a master list of everyone that you’ve presented to so that you can follow up in the future. FOLLOW UPS are the key to private money success!

Do not get discouraged. Just take persistent consistent action towards your goals.

Also, make sure to watch the third video. It will be on the blog later today. It gives you the exact info you need to get in front of potential lenders.

Wil,

Thank you so much for everything you said. It’s hard for me to even respond to something like that. I look forward to continuing to teach you everything I know and more.

Why Patrick? Well, first let me say that I strongly believe in standing on the shoulders of giants. I mean, there’s no need for me to repeat the same mistakes others have already learned from. If you subscribe to this philosophy, the only real hurdle then is finding the giants whose shoulders you should stand on.

Patrick is one of those giants. I’ve met a LOT of real estate investors over the years. And most of the investors I’ve met are doing mediocre at best. Therefore, when I went looking for an investor to learn from I was looking for someone who was exceedingly and consistently successful.

When I first met Patrick my perception was of a young kid with a wannabe attitude. That changed fast. The more I got to know him, the more I realized that this “kid” was killing it in real estate. He was buying four, five, sometimes six properties every month. I quickly realized that whatever he was doing I definitely wanted to learn. I was fortunate enough that he was willing to teach me.

I picked Patrick’s brain for many years, and without exception Patrick has given me more nuts-and-bolts usable real estate investing advice than anyone, period. And please consider that last statement in the light of the following: during that same time period I was reading just about every real estate book and attending just about every real estate seminar I could find (to the tune of about $30k per year). Knowing that, you may want to go back and re-read the first sentence of this paragraph.

Patrick not only gave me the techniques I needed to be successful, but he helped me tweak them to fit my business model, or just fix what I screwed up. And he did it with an underlying tone that was always encouraging.

So, here’s my suggestion: IF you are serious about becoming a successful investor, and IF there is any way you can get Patrick to give you real estate investing advice, than I say do whatever it takes to get that advice. Own a car? Sell it. Got a house? Mortgage it. Just get this advice. The payback will be well worth it.

Oh yeah, let me tell you one other thing about Patrick. Real estate investing wasn’t the greatest thing he ever taught me. The single greatest thing Patrick ever taught me was to work on myself first. To be a better person today than I was yesterday. And he taught by example.

Those are the two reasons you can’t go wrong investing time or money with Patrick. He knows his business when it comes to real estate investing, and he always does the right thing. A rare combination in this industry. Oh yeah, here’s a third: you’ll also earn a great friend.

Thanks again! I’m looking forward to more. This is great information that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else!
