How To Legally Spy On Banks

No Comments »

Hey, I’ve got an awesome resource (it’s free and you can access it online) that allows you to legally spy on banks… so that you know when they’re lying to you.

Maybe you’ve had this experience…

You’re interested in doing package deals. So you call a bank and ask if they have any bulk REO. But you’re pretty darn sure they’re not telling you the truth. How do you know?

I just shot that video and walk you step-by-step how to research a banks REO inventory online.

And if you’re thinking… “Sounds great Patrick but I don’t have funding to buy package deals.”

Guess what?

You don’t have to buy bulk REO packages yourself, you can also broker them. So… NO EXCUSES!

Watch the video below now…

Here’s the link to the FDIC website.

P.S. – Want to learn more about Bulk REO?

PMBP Faculty Member, Susan Lassiter-Lyons, taught me about this killer resource… and she has an in-depth video called “6 Simple Steps To A $50,000 Payday Buying, Flipping, Or Brokering Bulk REO.”

It’s definitely worth checking out! Enjoy :-)

P.P.S. – Here’s a pic of Susan and I hanging out at The Boathouse on Isle of Palms. One of my favorite spots that’s right in my backyard…

Will This Law Change Your Business?

No Comments »

Hey, I want to share a law with you that fundamentally changed my biz and life… forever more, for the better.

A long long time ago, waaaaaay back in 2004 (lol… I’m only 30 years old), one of my mentors let me in on this… and it’s a good thing.

You see, after my first year investing, I knew something had to change. The financing techniques I had used (conventional financing, hard money, parters) just weren’t working for my goals, my needs.

So I decided to get private money.

But after trying and failing… getting “no” after “no,” I almost quit.

Then I learned a law from my mentor that completely changed the way I approached getting private money.

It gave me confidence and belief in myself that I didn’t have before. If you had more confidence and belief in yourself and business, don’t you think it would be easier to get private money?

You bet it is.

Will This Law Change Your Biz?

Alright, here’s what my mentor shared with me that changed my biz and life forever… he said that when you do something often enough, a ratio will appear.

I know that probably doesn’t sound like a big deal, but stay with me.

That’s the law of averages.

In baseball, they call it batting average.

Step up to bat, swing 9 times and miss. Then on your 10th swing, you get a hit… and the law of averages kicks in.

And here’s why that’s HUGE…

Once a ratio starts, it tends to continue.

Step up to bat 10 more times and chances are you’ll get another hit.

Think about it… if you’re new to getting private money, it may take you 10 appointments to get your first private lender… but then you can expect to get another one from your next 10 appointments.

And guess what?

With repetition, your ratio can be increased.

In baseball, hit 3 out of 10 and they’ll pay you millions of dollars!

Strike out 7 times and get paid millions.

Not bad, ehhh?

The problem with most people is that they’re unwilling to step up to the plate at all… or after they swing and miss, they quit!

Sorry but that doesn’t cut it.

In order to put the law of averages to work for you, you’ve gotta keep swinging, keep setting up appointments to show your private lender PowerPoint presentation, keep spreading the word about your opportunities.

And once the ratio appears, all you have to do is meet with ”x” number of people, and you’ll get another private lender.

That simple law gave me the confidence and belief to keep swinging… and it will do the same for you.

P.S. – If you’re wondering, the mentor I’m referring to is Jim Rohn – America’s Foremost Business Philosopher. This lesson came straight from him… the man, the myth, the legend.

I wrote a post on the PMBP blog that has a few of his videos on “How To Have Your Best Year Ever.”

It’s really good stuff.

P.P.S. – Also, a BIG congrats to Tammy Reoch of La Habra Heights, CA!

Tammy got her second private lender on board this past week. And get this… he wants to “start” with $300K – $400K.

Whoohoo! Nice work Tammy!

Just another one of our Private Money Blueprint members easily getting private money in today’s market.

Thank YOU

No Comments »

Hey, I just wanted to say “Thank YOU!”

I really appreciate YOU – whether you’re a blog reader, an email subscriber, or member in one of my training programs.

YOU are the reason I’m still here… blogging, putting out training videos and resources. All the awesome success stories y’all email in, the comments you leave… makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and motivates and inspires me to do more :-)

Thank YOU – from the bottom of my heart – for taking the time to read, watch, and put my content into action!

Want to know why I’m writing this message to you today?

When I put my gratitude rock in my pocket this morning, I thought of YOU and said my thanks.

I absolutely LOVE what I do teaching / helping real estate investors… and if it weren’t for your continued support, feedback, appreciation, I wouldn’t be here.

If you’re wondering what the heck a gratitude rock is, it’s pretty cool.

Have you seen the movie The Secret? (if not you should check it out… good stuff!)

If so, you probably remember the guy who talked about how he uses a rock (as a trigger) to remind him to give thanks for everything in his life… every time he puts it in his pocket in the morning or takes it out at night.

This is a great little tool to use to keep a positive mind set, an attitude of gratitude.

And since what you think about, you bring about. The more you think about the stuff in your biz and life that you’re thankful for, the more of it you get :-)

Check out my gratitude rock…

One of the suggestions from the guy on The Secret is not to just pick out any ol’ rock. Find one that’s special to you. I got mine above from my parents pond where I grew up.

So now for your assignment… go out today and find yourself a gratitude rock today. Put it in your pocket every morning / take it out at night… and say thanks to everything in your life as you do.

I appreciate ya :-)
