Hey, I was on the phone with Private Money Blueprint member, Tim Ryan, and he was telling me about a 42-unit deal worth $3mm bucks he closed.

It’s amazing how far Tim has come since joining forces with us back in May ‘09.

A few short months after implementing the PMBP system and processes, he sent me this message…

——

“Several months ago I was spinning my wheels trying to close a single family with a bank… earlier this month, I closed on a 16 unit deal, a 2 duplex deal, and another duplex deal REO – with private money. My net monthly cash flow is $2000!

Thanks guys because I know this is just the beginning.”

——

Yep, it was just the beginning Tim :-)

From spinning his wheels trying to close a single family deal through a bank… to closing multi-million dollar deals.

And get this…

Tim hasn’t used one dime of his own money to acquire any of his properties. To finance the 42-unit, he put a simple ad online and got $560k in private money!

I asked Tim if he would hop on the line and share exactly how he’s finding and funding his deals… and he said “YES!”

And as I’m sure you can imagine… the interview kicked some serious butt! Our Private Money Monthly members loved it.

Here’s just a sample of what Tim covered:

* How to get Realtors feeding you “pocket listings” (great deals that other people aren’t finding)

* Tim’s secret ingredient (it starts with a “P”) to getting private money

* How he used a pre-payment penalty to his advantage when negotiating the 42-unit deal

* The exact ad that Tim used to find $560,000 in private money AND a credit partner (swipe and deploy this into your biz)

* The unconventional method Tim used to find the PERFECT resident property manager

* and much more!

The good news for you is…

We record all of our live monthly trainings and I uploaded the video in the member’s area :-)

Heck of an offer if I do say so myself (but there’s a reason for that… just click the link and I’ll explain).

Oh yeah and btw, this is a PART-TIME thing for Tim. He has a full time gig, is married, and has 3 kids.

So no “I don’t have time” excuses.

You can do this.

P.S. – Check out this pic of Tim with his wife and son outside of his new 42-unit deal…

Congrats buddy… from the entire PMBP family!

We’re proud of ya :-)

I was reviewing the recordings recently from our epic 3-day “Getting the Money” Bootcamp and came across some powerful info I want to share with you. It’s from one of my presentations called, “Deal Structuring, Advanced Psychology, & Negotiations.”

What stops most investors from getting private money for their deals?

… the #1 objection private lenders have.

This is something you have to overcome whether you’re brand new to real estate investing or are a seasoned veteran.

If you’ve been unable to get private money for your deals so far, you’re about to learn why… and more importantly, what to do about it.

Learn how to handle the #1 objection that investors face to get private money in the video below…

P.S. - Just an FYI, if you didn’t make it to our epic “Getting The Money” event last year…

… I have good news for you :-)

We decided to release the recordings of the whole event (all 3 days of the pitch free event) sometime this or next week. If you want me to reserve a copy for you, let me know.

3. Do You Need A Business Plan To Get Private Money? Hey, as you probably already know, I’m an avid reader....

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.

- Patrick

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.

Wouldn’t it be valuable to get fresh private lenders referred to you on a weekly basis?

Heck yeah it would!

Well, now you can… because I’m about to reveal the source that PMBPer, Rob Russell, used to get not one, not two, but 3 private lenders in a matter of months.

And best of all, you don’t need to be wealthy, earn a master’s degree, or have influential friends to take advantage of this.

To learn how to tap into this private lender referral source (just like Rob did), watch the video below…

I got an email the other day with the subject line, “Does PMBP really work?.”

I get this question a lot (or some version of it).

So, to give you an answer if it’s on your mind too, check out the pics below.

This is a small collection of unsolicited emails, Facebook messages, and other online posts from real world people – just like you and me – who applied the Private Money Blueprint (PMBP) and our other training programs with success.

This is the reason I do what I do… results.  Private money gotten, deals closed, profits made.

I love it!

Check out what a few of our PMBPers had to say…

Does Private Money Blueprint Really Work?

Here are a couple Facebook updates from PMBP Platinum student Rob Russell…

This is Shannon (aka Shae) Bynes – PMBPer from our original pilot program…

My friend, JP Moses, did a post over on his blog where he asked readers what their favorite training programs are and here’s another comment from Shae…

And here are a two emails from Private Money on Demand students…

The first pic below is an email from PMBPer, Eric Blow, with an update on his private money getting progress… then a chat message showing how much moolah he’s going to make from his first rehab (a cool $25,000 bucks)…

Gotta love this next one!

Justin Wilmot - surfer dude turned real estate investor – bought and sold 4 more deals, has 3 more under construction… AND sold his boat detailing biz to move full time into real estate investing. Nice!

Check this one out… guess PMBP works even in the Philippines…

(Note: These results are not typical. Most people don’t take any action; therefore get zero results. AKA no private money)

But, if you’ll willing to put in the work by taking action, you can do it too.

… just like Ben, Christina, Eileen, Frank, Lui, Rob, Shae, Tammy, Doug, Nick, Eric, Justin, Brittany, Larry, and all the other PMBPers kicking serious butt in today’s market.

If you have a PMBP success story we don’t know about yet, toss it in the comment area.

Happy Investing!

You could be leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe even millions!) on the table with your private lending prospects … IF you don’t have an effective follow up system in place.

Answer this for me …

Wow! It sure is amazing how time flies, isn’t it?

Sooooo much has happened in only a year …

2009 Kicked off with the Creative Real Estate Solutions in Today’s Market Video Series, then MustKnowInvesting.com turned 1, Trevor Mauch and I launched our Private Money Blueprint System (Holy Cow! What an Undertaking!), the Battle of the REI Blogs, and MUCH MORE.

Thank goodness I decided to get my butt out of bed this past weekend and go to church. That’s where I got the idea to do this post because they put together a “year in review” video with all the highlights of 2009. So, I thought it would be really cool to do a post called …

A Year in the Life of MustKnowInvesting.com

Let’s just jump right in … here we go …

The “Creative Real Estate Solutions in Today’s Market” Video Series

We kicked off the year in January with the Creative Real Estate Solutions in Today’s Market video series (over 2 1/2 hours of solid content). It was a 5 part in depth video series on wholesaling, private money, subject tos, owner financing, and much more. And at the end of the series, we took on a very limited number of students in our mentoring program.

One of those students, Justin Wilmot, a twenty somthin’ self proclaimed surfer dude from Florida, had quite the year; he closed his first wholesale deal, locked up a million dollar credit line through a private money lender, and closed his first rehab deal. To say Justin’s life will never be the same would be quite the understatement.

Happy B-Day!

On January 19th 2009, my baby, MustKnowInvesting.com turned 1. It was a great day, a milestone, an accomplishment. Few people (other than fellow bloggers) realize how much work goes into maintaining an active blog.

Thousands of hours have been poured into the idea and implementation of everything you see, read, listen to, and watch here. To see my blog grow and mature over that first year was awesome (and now my baby is almost 2 … whew … children sure to grow up fast … haha)

The Private Money Blueprint

For the next few months, I published 2 to 3 new articles and videos per week and spent countless hours, nights, weekends preparing for our Private Money Blueprint launch.

Let me give ya a little back story …

Trevor Mauch and I had partnered up in August of ‘08 to teach people how to get private money. We taught a couple free 100% content webinars and there was a HUGE demand for more information. So, we created a pilot program to teach 20 lucky students how to get unlimited funds for their real estate deals using private money.

After the program finished, our students raved; they wanted more.

Next, we wrote the home study manual (an arduous task), commissioned Trevor’s web guy to put the private lending websites together (an expensive task), built the Private Money Blueprint Membership site (another big task), and put together a plan to launch our private money getting system in May (a “thank goodness we hired help” task … thanks @ChrisBrisson).

Whew … I get tired just thinking about all that stuff.

Anyway, much time was spent on the Private Money Blueprint project (which was birthed from MustKnowInvesting.com) and it all culminated in May when we launched; quite the accomplishment.

The icing on the cake has been the amazing results our students have gotten from our system. It’s so awesome opening up my email each morning to find another success story from a student.

The Investor Connect Contest

After things settled down from the launch, I wasn’t sure what my next “little project” would be. I had a few ideas but nothing slapped me across my face UNTIL … I had the idea for the Battle of the REI Blogs contest (more on that in a little bit).

So, in preparation for “battle”, I decided to run a small contest on my blog to get my feet wet, to learn the ropes. There was a bunch of awesome prizes and a really cool “social” component to it.

I called it … The Investor Connect Contest.

The coolest thing about it, the winner of the contest Noel Roberts, closed his first deal just a few months thereafter. Check out the email he sent me recently …

Oh yeah, and to top it all off … Noel, aka Kid Cash Flow, is only 18 years old!

So whatever your excuse was for 2009 of why you didn’t close your first deal, or why you didn’t achieve your REI goals … might as well trash it. Noel didn’t have any of the “Big 3 C’s” … Cash, Credit, or Credibility … and it didn’t stop him.

Be on the lookout for Part 2 to this one … coming soon in 2010 :)

How to Become a CIA: 7 Part Creative Real Estate Investing Series

This was all about getting you ready, willing, and able to close on your first or next deal by delivering the information, tools, and resources to get it done. There was the “CIA Manifesto”, video tutorials, downloads (MP3s, forms, etc), guest expert Stephani Davis from FlipthisWholesaler, Dusty Keefe, master negotiator, and MUCH MORE.

The participation and feedback during this series was absolutely incredible … thanks to all who participated and all who continue to study the series.

This free in depth creative real estate investing series is POWERFUL. If you haven’t taken this training yet, write it down on your list of goals for 2010.

Battle of the REI Blogs

With 13 of the top REI bloggers in the world on board, over 5,000 visits to my blog that week, and over 1,100 votes …

What a killer event the Battle of the REI Blogs turned out to be!

One of the funniest parts about it was the trash talking between the bloggers over on Facebook. Right before the battle began, I logged in to my FB account, and my profile had been decimated by the likes of JP Moses who posted a picture of a pumpkin throwing up with the caption, “The Effect Your Blog Has on People”, Trevor who posted a pic of a line graph showing how much more traffic his blog gets than everyone elses, and Stephani Davis who posted a pic that said, “My blog can beat up your blog” … haha.

It was on!

But, shortly after the Battle ensued, it was clear that Julie Broad and Ron Mead were the forces to reckoned  with. As they blew by the competition, the rest of us were scrambling to compete.

End of the day, when the smoke cleared, Julie Broad of RevNyou was crowned champion; Ron Mead, who made a valiant effort, brought home the silver.

Thanks once more to all the REI bloggers that competed AND to you, our subscribers for contributing your votes.

Oh yeah, one more thing … if you haven’t checked out The Ballad of the Battle of the REI Blogs yet, that’s a must watch. It’s my lyrical and piano playin’ debut … Enjoy!

Julie Broad pulled back the curtain on finding hidden bargains, showed how to overcome obstacles, gave us the 10 commandments to negotiating great real estate deals (and much more … Julie was MKI’s biggest guest contributor).

Stephani Davis contributed in style with her Wholesaling 101 video as part of the How to Become a CIA series. And my bro (not literally … but might as well be), Dusty Keefe taught us how to negotiate like a pro in Part 2 of the CIA series and how to control real estate with zero liability in Part 7.

Have you been to your local REIA (real estate investment association) meeting before? If so, how many of those people do you think are actually investing?

I’ve found that typically, the room is split 70/30 …

70 percent (and sometimes even as high as 80% or more ) are wannabe real estate investors … they’ve never done a deal and probably never will … and ONLY …

30 percent are active investors …

What is it that you, an active or soon to be active real estate investor, could offer to these wannabe investors?

If you said, “An easy hands-off real estate investing opportunity … an opportunity where you don’t have to deal with contractors, the headaches of property management, leaky roofs, clogged toilets, the hassles that can come with home ownership … and all you have to do is stroke a check …”

… then you understand what I’m talking about!!

You see … wannabe real estate investors are perfect prospects for private money. They’re already sold on real estate investing, they’re already seeking a way to make money in real estate … all you have to do is show them how they can become a real estate investor by simply lending you money.

Here’s a question we recently got from one of our Private Money Blueprint students on the subject …

Great question Mike!

Just a few months ago, Tim Ryan was … in his own words … “spinning his wheels” trying to qualify to buy a single family house. He thought that was all he could afford.

Tim heard about a contest that Trevor Mauch and I were having when we launched our Private Money Blueprint system and submitted his entry. Tim was one of the lucky students picked (he had ZERO private money getting experience) and won a copy of our complete Private Money Blueprint system (w/ tools, scripts, action plans, templates, marketing, forms, etc.).

Check out the email below that Tim just sent us updating Trevor and I on his progress.  This is exactly why I love teaching!

Now, if that isn’t motivating … I don’t know what is!

A regular guy, just a few months ago, was trying to get financing through a bank to buy a single family house … one measily old single family house. He got a copy of our Private Money Blueprint system and applied it (key word here … applied it) and now owns a 16 unit aparment deal, 3 duplexes, a net monthly cashflow of $2,000, and is working on a 168 unit multifamily deal in Texas … all WITHOUT any of his own money!

Isn’t that awesome? Isn’t that inspiring? Isn’t that motivating?

Well, it should be … because that could just as easily be you.

This is pretty cool … check out Tim’s video entry he did for our contest back in May …

You see, like I said … just a regular guy … who needed a solution for financing his deals.

Everybody knows that NOW is the time to buy. Everybody knows that it’s easy to find great deals. BUT, here’s what everybody doesn’t know … getting private money to finance your deals is a heck of lot easier than you think.

Want the same templates, tools, action plans, and guidance Tim got from us?
