I gave the video series away for free because I believe the best information on creative real estate investing should be free and available in one place. Glad you’re enjoying it!

Bring on the questions. I’ll keep a look out for an email from you.

You’re welcome. I’m enjoying the whole process of putting this all together so it’s great to hear that it’s being well received.

Let me know if I can help you in any way.

Brian,

I think buying property subject has made the biggest impact in our business over the years. It’s allowed us to leverage our way into far more deals.

Creating seller financing has contributed the most to building wealth. Seller’s are the easiest and most flexible source to “borrow” money from.

Really looking forward to video 3! Which creative deal structuring strategy would you say has made the biggest impact on your biz?

Thanks for the questions and comments so far on the video series.

Jerry,

You definitely don’t need to pay an appraiser to value property. The only time you’ll need an appraiser is if your lender requires it.

Check out http://www.zillow.com to get a quick idea of a property’s value. Get familiar with your county website as well. The county websites in my area have a wealth of info that can be useful when evaluating a deal. Figure out how to search for real property through your county site. That’s a good start.

You want to get a Realtor on your team too. You can let them know that you will list property with them down the road if they help you evaluate property leads that you get.

Doug,

I cover buying property subject to in depth in video 3. Let me know if you have any questions after you check out the video.

Steve,

We have a three step mailer campaign that we use to market to foreclosure prospects. I’ll shoot you an email with more details.

As far as following up with sellers, check this post out that I wrote on the subject http://snipurl.com/7nx8o

Thanks again everyone! Keep the questions coming!

Hey Patrick,

Just a note to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed your first video. There was content in it that was informative and not in the typical real estate knowledge forum. For instance, a questionnaire for sellers to help you determine their needs and the sign on the utility pole. I’d like to learn the techniques that the masses don’t follow. It seems that most investors are narrow visioned and don’t think out of the box to make deals. That’s what was refreshing about the video. You mentioned that some leads were created from foreclosure letters. What are they and how are they followed up on?

Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the next video.

Steve

Great video.
