How to Get FREE Motivated Seller Leads : We Buy Houses Craigslist Ad

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

10 Comments »

We_Buy_Houses_Craigslist_Ad

I have a free professional “We Buy Houses” Craigslist ad that I give away here on my blog …

For any of you living in the dark ages still, Craigslist is a free online classified ad website. You can post an ad, just like the ads you post in a traditional newspaper classified section, except on Craigslist, it’s free.

I get a lot of technical questions about how to post the ad … sooooo instead of continuing to answer them one by one … I shot a video that walks you through the process step by step.

In less than 10 minutes, you can have a professional  “We Buy Houses” ad posted on Craigslist to start driving motivated seller leads your way …

Check out the video below …

THE CONTEST

Welcome … to MustKnowInvesting.com’s first annual …

“Battle of the REI Blogs”

… and I’m your host, Patrick Riddle.

I’ve assembled the A-List, the top 13 real estate investing bloggers to compete to see who’s blog is #1 in your eyes …

Below, you’ll get a chance to check out each participating REI blogger. Each has his or her own custom profile that includes a link to their blog, their 3 main social media links, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube, and a “Tweet About Your Fav Blogger” link.

Sooooo we need you … our readers, our subscribers, our listeners, our watchers … to research each real estate investing blogger below and vote on your favorite, on who you think has the #1 real estate investing blog, on who you think should be crowned “Battle of the REI Blogs 2009″ CHAMPION!

Maybe you’re thinking, “Sounds great Patrick … but …
What’s In It for ME?”

Great question … so here are just a few of the things in it for ya …

1) A chance at winning one of the FREE Private Money Blueprint Home Study Systems ($697 VALUE) being given away … the same system that’s generated over $11M in cash from private lenders by its students in only the past six months.

All you have to do to enter is vote on your favorite real estate investing blogger in the comment section (more on that in a minute) …

2) Get social and connect with the “best of the best” real estate investing bloggers.

People are communicating, growing personal relationships, getting to know each other through social media … Twitter, Facebook, YouTube … soooo now is your chance to add the top real estate investing bloggers in the country to your personal social network.

3) Build your foundation of rock solid real estate investing educational resources.

Each blogger participating has his or her own unique style, REI niche, and resources available to help you on your path towards real estate investing riches.

Figure out which blogger/blog appeals to you and your goals and subscribe to ‘em.

Now it’s time to learn …

HOW TO PLAY

1) Contest Starts October 26th and Ends October 29th 2009 at midnight EST.

2) You MUST be 18 years or older to participate.

3) Meet the bloggers below … click through to their blog and see what you think, connect with ‘em if you want through Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, Tweet about ‘em if that’s your thing … and decide on your favorite.

4) VOTE! All you gotta do is put the name of your favorite blog/blogger in the comment section.

AND, you may want to add the reason why … why it’s your favorite blog, why he or she is your favorite blogger … because the winning REI blogger gets to hand out FREE Private Money Blueprint Systems to 5 of their voters … AND the runner up gets to give one away too.

Sooooo, by telling “why” … you increase your chance of being picked for one of those killer FREE private money training systems.

5) Only vote once for one blog/blogger and use your real name or biz name (we have a special team in place to ensure that violators are disqualified from the contest … only vote once and use a real name so that if you win, you can get your prize)

And that’s it! Pretty simple, right?

Well, I guess that’s it for “how to play” … now it’s time to …

How to Become a CIA: (Part 7) How to Get Full Control of a Property with ZERO Liability

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

3 Comments »

Real_Estate_Investing_Jaw_DroppedWelcome … to Part 7 of the “How to Become a CIA” creative real estate investing series … How to Get Full Control of a Property with ZERO Liability …

(if you’re new to the series, you may want to start with the introduction)

In our final part to the “How to Become a CIA” training series, Dusty Keefe is gonna teach you how to get full 100% control of a property with ZERO liability … so if, for any reason, you can walk away from a deal unscathed, unharmed, without a financial loss.

How does that sound? Did your jaw drop when you heard that for the first time?

Well, if you’re like me … it sure did!

You may be thinking … “Hold on a minute , Patrick, Dusty, soooo what you’re telling me is that I can contract a property, and if I don’t end up closing on it myself or wholesaling to someone else, I can walk away from the deal and even get my earnest money back??”

Yep, you can. And that’s exactly what Dusty is going to share with you in his video below …

(quick note … the techniques and strategies discussed work best when negotiating directly with sellers. Soooo, get your marketing plan off the ground so that sellers call YOU when they need to sell … not a Realtor)

How to Get Full Control of a Property with ZERO Liability

Here’s what you’re gonna learn today …

>> What Holds Back Most Investors and What to Do About It

>> How to Use Exculpatory Language to Safeguard Your Success

>> How to Control the Closing

>> The “Must Know” Clause for All You Wholesalers (Tip # 4)

>> And Much More!
