Don’t Just Come and See . . . Go and Be!

Monday, March 30th, 2009

5 Comments »

Success or Failure as a Real Estate InvestorThere are tons of real estate investing gurus constantly marketing to “Come and See” their products and services . . . whether it’s a new course, seminar, book, webinar, or mentor program. While it’s very important to “Come and See,” invest in a good training course, go to the seminar, participate in the mentor program, it’s far more important to “Go and Be!”

When I say “Go and Be,” I’m talking about getting out in the field and taking action on what you’ve learned. In other words, go “be” an investor. Even if you have yet to close on your first deal, as soon as you take action, you’re a real estate investor. Because you’re on your way to getting that first deal done.

Too many beginning investors doubt their knowledge and abilities and feel the need to read one more book or course, go to one more seminar, and wait until they feel like they’re “ready” to make the first phone call, start marketing, or even get a business card.

How to Get Private Money Lenders Beating Down Your Door

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

No Comments »

Private Money Real Estate InvestingFinancing, Financing, Financing! That seems to be the MAJOR sticking point for real estate investors these days.

If you’re one of our regular readers, you know that we teach a great deal on how to get private money. But, I still get tons of comments from investors like . . .

= > I don’t want to ask people I know for private money . . . where should I start?

= > The people that I know with money aren’t interested in lending right now . . .

= > How can I get private money without experience as an investor and a proven track record?

= > Everyone I talk to is holding on to their cash right now. Are there really people out there lending private money in today’s market?

. . . and the list goes on and on. If you look closely at these comments, all they really are is excuses.

Have you been trying to invest in real estate, but don’t know which way to go?

Flipping houses is by far the easiest and simplest way to make money in real estate investing … especially in today’s market. Many people have gone from rags to riches in a reasonably short period of time by getting involved in flipping houses. The reason for this is because house flipping provides large sums of money within a very short time frame if you know what you’re doing. The key is to be educated on how to do it, then take massive action. The rest is history!

Who Else Wants a Seller Financed Deal For Only $1,800 Down?

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

2 Comments »

I'll Take That Real Estate DealAre you one of those non believers that think that you have to have a bunch of cash or credit to get into real estate investing?

Well, if that’s the case, here’s a real world real estate investing case study of one of Wil Christenson’s latest and greatest deals. He specializes in creative deal structuring . . . buying property subject to and creating seller financing to pay sellers for their equity. Wil structured this deal so that the seller took back 100% of the financing so all he had to pay was his closing costs (some attorney fees, title search, deed stamps, etc) which amounted to a whopping $1,800 bucks! That’s it!

And the property was in good shape! Can’t get much better than that . . . all it needs is a little cosmetic work. I decided to shoot a video to highlight exactly how the deal went down.

Here’s a few things you’ll learn in the video:

= > How in the heck he found the deal

= > 2 BIG hints when the lead came in that screamed “This Could Be A Great Deal!”

= > Key questions Wil asked to unlock the seller financing potential

= > How he used “The Truth About Taxes” to compel her to finance the deal (and how you can too)

= > The magic question that explodes your wealth when you know how to hold your mouth right

= > How every payment is in essence going in his back pocket

= > and MUCH MORE!

Watch the video now!

6 Expectations to Define with Every Seller Lead

Monday, March 16th, 2009

1 Comment »

Real Estate Seller Lead

Ever wasted a bunch of time meeting with an unmotivated seller? Or a seller who wants full appraised value for their property? Or a seller who tries to beat you up on price?

Don’t be discouraged . . . it’s happened to all of us. Below are 6 expectations that you want to define with every seller to avoid those situations and save yourself TONS of time and heartache.

1) You’re a Business and Must be Able to Make a Profit

I usually throw this in pretty early in the conversation with a seller especially if they are asking anywhere close to retail. I say something like, “Well, Mrs. Seller, we are a company so we would have to be able to make a profit on your property for us to buy it. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be in business too long, would we? But, as long as you are ok with us making a profit, we would be happy to look into it for you to see if your house would qualify. Does that work for you?”
