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??”

How to Become a CIA: (Part 3) Wholesaling 101

17 Comments »

Welcome … to Part 3 of the “How to Become a CIA” creative real estate investing series … Wholesaling 101 …

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

This week, wholesaling extraordinaire, Stephani Davis of Flip this Wholesaler is gonna teach you the basics to wholesaling real estate for quick cash.

But, before I let Stephani take it away … I’d like to tell you what I like most about wholesaling real estate …

3 Things I Love About Wholesaling Real Estate

1. Little to No Risk

2. Don’t Need Your Own Cash or Good Credit (see Stephani’s video below)

3. Fastest Way to Create Cash in the Biz

Learning how to wholesale real estate … developing the skills to successfully turn a contract in to cash … is one of the most empowering things you’ll ever experience.

Think about it …  you find a great deal, you contract it, you send out an email to your buyer’s list or you make a couple phone calls … and voila … you put $3K, $5K, maybe even $10K CASH in your pocket!

What would you do with an extra $10,000 this month?

… and you didn’t have to put anything at risk, didn’t have to sign your life away, didn’t have to empty your bank account … heck, you didn’t even have to fill out an application.

If Stephani … a 30 something bartender turned wholesaler can do it …. you can too!

How to Become a CIA: (Part 2) Negotiate Your Way to Wealth

8 Comments »

Welcome … to Part 2 of the “How to Become a CIA” creative real estate investing series … Negotiate Your Way to Wealth …

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

This week, master negotiator, Dusty Keefe, is gonna teach you how to negotiate your way to wealth.

Ever since getting started investing years ago … back in 2002 … Dusty has been a full time negotiator for our buy, sell, hold business. He had some sales experience prior, had studied books on negotiating and sales strategies, and naturally filled that position for our company.

Today, having negotiated with hundreds of buyers, sellers, tenants, contractors, and other investors … Dusty has become quite the master at his craft.

And, if you’ve ever met Dusty in person, you know this … the man never stops negotiating.

Dusty and I were going through a drive thru recently and before we got up to the window, he told me to get a free french fry. He didn’t say “Order another fry”, he said “Get a free fry”. I started to feel a little uncomfortable because I didn’t feel like asking … but, realized quickly that I was exhibiting weak behavior.  Sooooo, when we got up to the window, I asked for a free fry in a certain way that I thought would be compelling for the employee to give it to me …

… and you know what … I got a free fry.

This is a very simple example, but it shows how Dusty thinks … how the mind of a master negotiator functions.

I talked Dusty into sharing some killer negotiating techniques and strategies with us in the “How to Become a CIA” series … hope you enjoy!

Negotiate Your Way to Wealth with Dusty Keefe

Here’s what Dusty’s gonna cover …

>> What’s the Big Deal About Negotiating

>> Why Most Beginners Struggle with Negotiating (hint … it’s not your fault)

>> The “Must Know” Moving Parts of Every Negotiation

>> 3 Step Easy Process to Negotiating Great Deals

>> And Much More …
