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 …

How to Close Your First Real Estate Investing Deal

No Comments »

What if I told you there was an easy path to getting your first deal done but that most investors ignore it and choose to do things their way. If I explained in plain English what that path was and it made sense to you, wouldn’t you take it?

I know I would . . . I’m just glad that my mentor “enlightened” me before I wasted tons of time, energy, resources.

Well, lean in because I’d like to share what I consider to be extremely important information. BECAUSE if you focus on the wrong techniques and strategies when getting started, you may end up frustrating yourself right out of the game . . . which is not what you want or deserve.

The idea for the video below came together because I see soooo many beginning real estate investors taking what I consider to be the longer riskier more difficult path to closing their first deal . . . and you know what, it’s doesn’t have to be that way.

Check out the video now to learn how to grab your investing career by the horns and get that first deal in the bag.

Watch Out . . . Insurance Could be the Deal Breaker

2 Comments »

I was at a coffee shop over the weekend and ran into a guy named Dave that I met there several months ago. When we met, he had just gotten interested in real estate investing and was eager to buy his first investment property.

We got to talking and he started telling me about a deal that he almost closed but luckily backed out right before closing.

He contracted a deal and commenced doing his due diligence. Everything looked good . . . until, he got a quote for the insurance on the property. Due to the location, flood insurance was required and the estimates that he got ranged between $3,500 and $6,000. Thus, turning an otherwise good positive cash flow deal into a negative drain.
