Choosing Flexible & Motivated Sellers
Posted by: | Comments
Real estate investing, just like any other profession
requires a series of interrelated skills. Finding bargain properties is one of the most important of these skills–in many ways the most important because without this skill there are no deals.
The key to finding bargain properties
is the ability to identify sellers who are highly
motivated to sell–who must sell–as opposed to those that
only find it desirable and useful to sell. Essentially, real estate
investing (especially creative real estate investing) amounts to
finding both the right kind of seller as well as the right kind of
property. Believe it or not, street-wise real estate investors tend
to look first for the motivated sellers before they go too far in
analyzing any properties.
Motivated sellers go by a variety of names: “flexible”, “must sell”, “very motivated”, “anxious”, “don’t wanters,” etc. But they all have one thing in common:
They want you to solve some major problem for them and it’s your job
to make sure that you don’t become overzealous in helping them
and end up hurting yourself by taking on a property that’s not a deal.
(lose money)
It might be that they are being transferred and must therefore
hurry and sell. Or they might have personal problems such
as a serious illness or a divorce that is forcing them to sell.
Additionally, they may be motivated by financial pressures or
they may have recently discovered that they don’t like being a
landlord to their investment properties.
Whatever their reason, you can appear to them as a knight in
shining armor on a white stallion.
Do you find this role comfortable?
With whom would you rather deal?:
(1) someone who welcomes you with a warm smile and
appreciates your desire to help when you arrive or
(2) someone who is an antagonistic and arrogant property
owner who could care less if he sells or not?
Which type would cause you to experience less apprehension?
Obviously the seller who is motivated, flexible, and willing to
talk openly with you right away.
This is exactly why the savvy real estate investor will almost
always start with the most anxious sellers, because the job is
simply easier in that environment and you’re problem solving
together with you, the investor leading the way.
Does that make sense?
Think about it. Fear is one of the greatest destroyers of
progress. It can keep a perfectly capable person (like you or
me) from even trying something new.
I had a great deal of fear when first starting out, interviewing
sellers and meeting them at their properties…so I get it.
I’ll be posting a free mini series here on the website to help
guide you through this segment of real estate investing and
as you go through the mini series, visualize yourself talking
to the openly motivated sellers that I’ll be describing.
As you become more familiar with the concepts, ideas,
scripts and tools and as you apply them in a no-risk
environment (which you can do with a partner, spouse or
even record your voice), you will find your fears melting
away and you’ll be ready to go out and lock up some deals
in this massively opportunistic market.
Free REI Fizzzzboe Form/Script
Posted by: | Comments For Sale By Owner’s or FSBO’s…pronounced “Fizboes“.
For investors like myself, when I come across a For Sale By Owner Sign…I’ve died and gone to heaven. For starters, I’ve fortunately come across a property that isn’t listed on the MLS which means that everyone and their grandfather won’t already know about it. The gives me an edge…one that offers more opportunity than a listed property.
I’ve been able to negotiate some great deals on For Sale By Owner properties, resulting in some massive wholesale profits. When I’m able to take down a deal that’s below market value, I can pass that savings/some of that profit on to my buyers because there’s no commission either.
You never know when you might run across one of these awesome opportunities and if you haven’t already- you certainly will and when you do, you’ll be so glad that you have this Fizboe Form/Script in your real estate investing arsenal of forms.

REO Investor [Advanced] Report-Free
Posted by: | Comments
I just finished reading that free report that described
how an investor lost almost everything in the downturn
of the Florida real estate market. I lost 2 properties in that
market as well, so it really sparked my curiosity.
Check it out here
This report got me to thinking about making some serious money
leveraging my time, effort, skill and network to do more deals….
and I mean Big Deals.
I’ve done a few REO deals but have never done any Bulk REO investing
but on Page 12 of the report…it gets down to it
******************************************************
Here’s a quick Blurb
******************************************************
“How it works is that these guys buy
properties and defaulted mortgage notes
at mass volume with deep discounts—
often just pennies on the dollar.
The credit crunch has created big trouble
for banks, and massive opportunity for
everyday investors. If you think about
what’s going on right now, banks are
flooded with that they consider “toxic
assets.”
These are foreclosed properties and
notes they pool into large packages and
sell together in bulk.
And don’t think all these homes are
junkers, some of the homes may have
been listed with agents and for whatever
reason couldn’t sell, but are still prime
properties that need a little work.
Considering banks aren’t property
management companies, they want these
‘toxic assets’ off their books for
whatever they can get and are practically
giving away houses for cheap.
This creates TREMENDOUS
opportunity for smart investors who
know how to play in this market.
We’re talking houses for 30% to 70%
off what you can find foreclosures on the
MLS for, as little as just a few thousand
a piece, even less than the cost of one
month’s rent….”

How To Wholesale REO’s Like A Rockstar
The Art of Robbing Banks
By Pre$ton Ely
The richest and smartest people in the world go where the money is easy. They’re really pretty lazy. They refuse to fight uphill battles. Rather they opt to slide down slippery slopes of joy.
Now that the market has decided to go “Britney Spears” on us we need to take a closer look at what we are doing here. We need to make sure there isn’t something “easier” out there than dealing with the standard “motivated seller.”
It turns out there is.
Before the market took a nosedive, our “I Buy Houses” classified ad in the Tampa Tribune was one of like thirty. But now? We are one of only four.
Where did everyone go?
I was just interviewing one of the nation’s top wholesalers who told me he is currently spending ZERO dollars on seller marketing. He used to spend $8,000 a month. Where are his leads coming from?
Everyone is switching to REO Bank-Owned foreclosures.
And there is a reason for that.
Ever since the stimulus package was unrolled banks have been giving away their inventory of foreclosed homes like unwanted clothes to goodwill. And they are able to do this for good reason. A reason which you will learn very soon.
We recently picked up a house from a bank for $2,500 smack dab in the middle of Tampa. We flipped it immediately for a $20,000 profit. Never spent a dime.
You can do the exact same thing … if you know what you’re doing. (wow … that’s a big “if”)
How would you like to be the recipient of some of these “rag tag” houses? Well you can. Easily. You simply have to know where to stand in line and how to claim your fair share.
Up until now, investors have been paralyzed with fear when it came to flipping REO (bank owned) foreclosure houses. The biggest obstacle? Non-assignable contracts. Banks don’t like wholesalers. They’re weird like that. Whoever’s name is on the contract must close (in their name) on the deal.
Obviously this is not the game we play. Using your own money is for morons with no brains. Rich people (even billionaires) do not use their own money. We use the moronic people’s money. : – )
But what if there was a way to sneak your buyers in to close on the property for you right underneath the bank’s nose while you get paid your $10,000 “flip” fee right at the closing? And what if that way was totally and completely 100% legit? You would want to learn this tactic I’m sure.
As a “problem solver,” which is what you as a real estate investor are, you need as many tools in your tool belt as possible. There is no such thing as “knowing enough.” The very best in our industry never stop growing and expanding their repertoire of investing strategies (except for Stick Boy). I just watched as Than Merrill devoured The Short Sale Kid’s entire home study course on a recent plane trip. Than is already a master of short sales. But in his words, “if I can get just one new tip from a course it pays me back many thousands of dollars.”
Unfortunately, the step-by-step process for doing these secret REO “double closes” would take much more than this article to explain. But a more in depth tutorial is on the way to you soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
Does the old way of “motivated seller marketing” work? Absolutely. We still do it every day. We have direct mail campaigns, and classified ads, and ppc ads, and a host of other strategies in place at all times. But we are also doing some REO’s. We are “both/and” kind of people. Either/Or thinking is for the small minded. Large souls want it all.
You can have it all.
Starting right now.

Focus on SUCCESS- FREE GUIDE
Posted by: | CommentsFocus
Focus is a scary word to most people.
What can it do for us? How can it help us? Can we program ourselves to focus?
Focus, confidence and self-discipline all work hand in hand with each other.
Learning to focus can help us in many ways. It can help us realize what we really want in life, it can help us make good and informed decisions. It can also help us to accept ourselves just the way we are, without feeling the need to condemn ourselves or put ourselves down in any way, shape or form.
Focus can help us gain confidence, power and happiness.
Focus can also help us remain grounded and stay on track.
Focus can change confusion into absolute knowledge and self-criticism into love for oneself.
Always be aware that you Are able to focus on what you want, and to focus your thoughts on anything at all. Try it now by thinking about the dishes, now change your focus and think about your car. Switch focus again and think about a dog. It really is that easy to focus on whatever you want to focus on.
We all need to learn to set aside time to be used on the one thing we want or need to focus on. It’s not a matter of “taking the time” to focus, but more a matter of “making the time”. If we are willing to make the time, we will focus a lot better on whatever it is we want/need to do.
You may ask me “how I can possibly make time to focus with four demanding children, 3 dogs and a new house?”
Easy, I can stay up for an extra hour when all the kids are in bed and the house is quiet, and MAKE the time to focus on what I’m doing with absolutely no distractions at all.
Oh, that’s right; you work too, so you’re too tired to stay up late. How about getting up half an hour early, before the madness at home begins? Before you go to bed, get everything ready for your early morning “focus time” so that you don’t have to run around looking for it when you’re half awake. Of course, this means you have to have a plan of action ready beforehand.
Decide when you are going to make time, and stick to it like glue. Don’t let ANYTHING take you away from that time. Make sure you have everything you need all in one place, a room, or even a corner of a room where you can sit in peace. Unplug the phone, turn off the television, and don’t even listen to quiet background music.
Whatever happens around you will distract you unless you learn how to focus. Sometimes it seems easier to just go along with these distractions than to focus on the end goal. Remember, if you let yourself go along with the distractions, you are losing sight of your goals.
When you want something you have to decide EXACTLY what it is you want. If you don’t know what you want, there’s no way on earth you’re going to be able to focus on it. So you want to pass that driving test that you’ve taken and failed umpteen times, or you want to pass that really important exam in school? What do you need in order to accomplish this?
You might want to write a book, or build a website, run your own business, be a teacher or any number of different things. The main thing is you have to KNOW that’s what you want, and you have to set your aims high and demand yourself to focus on getting it.
Once you decide what you want, you have to decide WHY you want it. Visualize yourself in that brand new Mercedes or BMW, or in front of that school desk teaching the kids geography. The vision makes you feel good right? So that’swhy you want it, it feels good to do what you want to do, be who you want to be and own what you want to own.
Visualization plays a major part in being able to focus. If you can actually see yourself in the position you want to be in, then it’s so much easier to focus on the task of getting there.
Next thing you have to do is decide how you’re going to actually get what you want. What are you willing to sacrifice in the quest to get those great exam grades? What can you do without in order to start up your own business? How can you make your family life happier and more peaceful?
Sit back and close your eyes, imagining what it will be like to have what you want in life, and think long and hard about what you can give up so that you can get there.
Say you want a new sofa, but the only way you can get one is if you quit smoking. Envision the sofa, with you and your partner cuddling up on it. What colour is it? Is it big and fluffed up, or is it a small ultra-modern sofa? Focus on the sofa and want it badly enough, you WILL stop smoking so you can get it.
These are all small things and perfectly attainable with a little bit of focus, but what if you want bigger and better things than that? Well then you set goals for yourself. First overcome the exams, once that goal is reached go get that driving licence. Next you get a brand spanking new BMW.
Keep setting goals; as soon as you reach the first one, move on to the next, staying focused all the time on what it is you want.
Reaching that first goal will give you an incredible boost of confidence, which in turn will make it so much easier to get started on the next goal. The more goals you reach, the more confidence you will have in yourself and that will fuel the success of the next goal, and the next one after that, until there are endless possibilities for you.
Start off by writing down each and every goal you WANT to reach in your lifetime. Then write a daily plan for the goal you want to reach first. Write the plan before you go to bed at night, it gives your brain time to take it all in and work with it.
It’s amazing what the brain will do when we are sleeping. Also, writing the plan the night before helps free up that time during the next day so that you can purely sit and focus on the task at hand.
Make the plan a numbered list and cross each item off as you finish it. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you get through it this way. Once you’ve reached the outcome you want, move on to your next goal following the same pattern as before.
If you find your thoughts wandering in your “focus time” take a break, write down your thoughts and put them away somewhere for future reference. If you find there are multiple things you can do to attain your goals, figure out which of them is the one most likely to help you get there quickest.
Put the others on hold, they may come in useful when you’re aiming for that next goal.
If you lock your focus, and stick with it for as long as you have to, you WILL succeed. If you stick to one thing, one goal and focus on that, it’s virtually impossible to not reap the rewards of your actions.
Confidence
Before we start, please keep one thing in mind; Confidence and arrogance are two totally different things. If you confuse the two, you will most certainly become a very unhappy person with very few real friends. Arrogance is NOT a “quality” and it won’t help you reach your goals any faster.
Confidence in oneself, or the lack thereof is what stops people from getting tightly focused on what they want to achieve. That little voice telling them they can’t do something is their biggest UN-motivator. What can YOU do to gain confidence?
