The Lazy Way to Do Short Sales

Those of you that know me know I enjoy being LAZY… or should I call it “working smart”?

I am happy to say that thanks to my friend Cody short sales just got a lot easier. You all know I HATE short sales, but not any more… in fact, two years ago at one point we had close to 60 short sale deals going… all at once!  I’ve since TOTALLY stopped doing them… until now.

I call my friend Cody the ‘Clever Investor’. He recently discovered a brand new way to do short sales BACKWARDS. He calls it the… Reverse Short Sale.

Its pure genius. Click here to check it out!

No more painful bank negotiations, no more finding buyers, no more government regulations. In other words… no more pain in the A$$ of normal short sales! That’s why we’re going to start doing them again. (there’s SO many out there!) Even better, you need absolutely no-money and there is absolutely NO competition.

Cody made a video you can watch here. but he said he’s not going to keep it up long.  I guarantee you have never seen anything like this before. Nobody has.

Your friend and fellow investor,

Nick Cifonie

P.S. I would tell you more about what it is, but it wouldn’t matter any way. You really just have to see for yourself. It’s that cool.

Learn how to do note deals from a seasoned pro!

Note deals can make a TON of cash… and they’re not hard to setup once you know how! It’s time for our next Mogul Mastermind call, and we have a special guest who’s not only an author, but has done over 1000 Note Deals… Mitch Stephen!

I’ll host this special MMM guest call on Tuesday, May 15th, at 5:00pm Pac, 7:00pm Ctr, and 8:00pm Est times!

Mitch has a unique strategy where he buys houses low using seller financing or private money, DOUBLES the price, and resells with  a new mortgage that he creates… he gets paid when he BUYS, gets paid again (the down payment) when he SELLS, then gets monthly cash-flow from owning the note!

This is a “no money or credit needed” strategy, and the beauty is, once the deal’s done he is out of it! He doesn’t deal with tenants, toilets or termites, nor does he handle repairs or maintenance, because he doesn’t own the house, he owns the note!

It’s a super hands-off technique where he plays “the bank”… and YOU can learn to do it by joining us on this special call! I’ll be asking the important questions (and so can YOU!) and you’ll walk away knowing  the what, how and whys, so you can do this yourself!

You can join us either online or by phone, and ask either of us any questions you have about all things investing…

…but unfortunately, there’s a catch… you have to be registered as a Mogul Mastermind member, so to join us on THIS call as well as others, be added to a special mastermind members only email group, and get much much more,go NOW and register here;

Of course, if you’re already a member, you know where to go.  ;)

I hope to “see you” Tuesday!

Your friend and fellow investor,

PS- Try to make this call LIVE, we’ll answer any of your questions as we go, and you’ll want to add this technique to your toolbox!!

How To Find Real Estate Investing Leads For Free

One of the ways to find leads is “word of mouth”. It’s really important that everybody you know is aware that you are into real estate. You’re the person they know that buys houses. You never know where your next deal will be coming from. We spend a lot of time and effort to generate leads, and sometimes it is right in front of our faces if we just went out there and talked to more people about it. When I was new in the business, I was real self-conscious about it and shy before I did a lot of deals. You are what you think you are and by talking about it, it is more likely to happen to you. Make sure that the people you hang out with know that you are a real estate investor and looking for deals. You don’t have to let them know what kind of deals you are looking for, but let them know you are always looking to buy houses and getting deals on property. As those people stumble across deals or hear of other people selling houses, they are most likely to refer people to you. It is also a good idea to mention to people that you pay for referrals. My business card says on the back of it, $200 or $250 will come to you if you bring me a house for sale. If we buy it, you get $200.

To know more about how to find real estate investing leads for free, just watch the video below.

Real Estate Sales Techniques… get more deals!

First off, there are some subliminal things you have to learn how to do.  When I say subliminal, there are some basic sales tactics that work in any type of sales environment, especially in real estate.

One of them is association.  You have to let your sellers know that people do this.  This is a regular thing.  It’s not this big unheard of thing for someone to sell with seller financing.  If you have done this in the past, talk about this.  Mention about doing this in the past.  People also want to do what other people do.  If they know other people are doing it, they will feel good about doing it.  Let the seller know that people do this all of the time, lots of people do it, then they will be more likely to do it. Unfortunately, we have a herd mentality.  A lot of times we have to see that someone else did something first, then we have permission to do it.

Also, you want to have some fear of loss, indirectly, in the tone of your voice.  You want to make it sound like this is the only way you can do this deal.  In a lot of cases, this is the truth, so you’re not lying to anybody.  Let them know that. Be indifferent about it.  You have to have an attitude about you that there are other houses you can buy, especially in this market.  Make them feel that they are going to lose something if they don’t go ahead with the sale with you.

Just watch the video below to know more on how to talk to sellers in real estate investing with seller financing.

Overcoming Fears in Real Estate Investing

This is for anyone who has ever had a little bit of fear keeping them from doing deals.  Fear and faith are really the opposite and I want to delve into the psychology of investing and overcoming your fears so that you can take the steps forward that you need to.  Nothing great is never easy and it always takes a leap of faith to accomplish something.

So, you investors out there who have never done a deal, this is for you.  For those of you who know you know this business and have the tools and education to do this, this will help you too.  Everybody has been there.

I sat next to a woman not too long ago at a real estate investing seminar and she told me that she had spent over $40,000 on her investing education.  She had almost every book and tape available to her.  She knew so much, she could teach ME the business!  I asked her many questions and she knew her stuff.  I asked her why she hadn’t bought a house and she told me it’s because she never had the opportunity.  I asked her why she never put an ad in the paper, and her response was, “I was afraid that someone might call”.  I said that that’s what we do, don’t let fear stop you!  I told her she could write herself a script and if they call, she could follow the script, and she might end up buying a house.  Her exact words then were, “I was afraid if I bought a house, I wouldn’t know how to get rid of it!”

Who knew adding another couple of weekly leads to your pipeline could be so easy?  This short report will help you consistently bring in more deals, and it’s NOT hard to do.  Read the report, do what he asks, and you’ll see leads coming in. (we’re doing it “as we speak”)

I almost couldn’t believe it, until I got verifiable proof from one of  my good friends in the business…  I soon did some research and even created a presentation about the same thing for our Mogul Mastermind Members (MMM) to compliment it! This is the hottest and one of the easiest lead generation strategies… IF you do it. (so do it, silly!)

So our “Moguls” who grab this report have TWO ways to learn this and put it into practice!

Real Estate Investor Goals-How To!

Effective goals are the key to being successful in the real estate business.  Without goals, it’s like you are that hamster on the wheel or a ship without a rudder.  Let’s face it.  If you are planning a long car trip, you wouldn’t do it without either bringing a GPS with you or plotting your trip on a map.  If you don’t know where you are going, how are you going to get there?  Once you know where you are going, you have got to have a plan.

I went through elementary school, high school, and some college, but they never really taught me how to set goals.  They told me I needed to set them, but was never taught how to.

In my opinion, in order to lead a truly full life you should have lots of money, a wonderful relationship with God, a great family life, and you should be healthy.  Though note that nobody is perfect, including me.

Lose the fear of talking to motivated sellers!

overcoming fears in real estate image: http://www.magerempowerment.comLet’s talk about taking to sellers without fear! Like in any career that entails talking to people, when we’re “new” there’s the likelihood that there’s some fear or nervousness involved… we’re not in “sales”, but we’re definitely “selling” an idea or concept, and some of the people we’re dealing with are skeptical.

Whether you’ve got the best script on the planet or you’re “winging it”, there’s always a tad of nervousness when calling a lead when you’re new, so I want you to listen to an audio training session I recorded about “Overcoming Fear When Talking to Sellers”.

Staging Houses In Real Estate Investing

Three years ago, houses were selling fast. Anyone could get a mortgage, and interest rates were low. Now interest rates are still low, but it’s hard to get a mortgage. So, you do have to take a little more time to sell your houses.

Now, there are some types of deals that you might want to stage, and some you might not have to. For example, wholesale deals where you sell to other investors, those you probably don’t have to stage as well. Of course, you do want to make them look good so it looks like it won’t need so much work. An experienced rehabber will know what he’s going to have to do, anyway, after walking through the house.

The houses I am talking about are the ones that you are selling to the public, a retail buyer who is going to move in and buy the house. If you have a house that you are putting up for auction, or you have a house that you have an option, doing a retail flip, or if you are a rehabber and you just renovated a house, and you want to make it look good to sell, you might as well make it look the best it can.

Persistence PAYS in Real Estate Investing

Let’s talk about persistence, you know, the ability to keep going when things keep holding you back? Sometimes both new investors and old need a check-up from the neck-up. This business can be tough at times !

I don’t care what the guru’s tell you, this is not an easy business, though it’s simple sometimes. Once you do your first deal, it’s like the gates open and knowledge flows. The confidence from your first deal is what gets you going… but you need that confidence first.

Here’s a story I want to share with you about a miner:

Back in the gold rush days, there was a guy who wanted to be a gold miner, but didn’t want to do it alone. He wanted to hire a company and do it BIG TIME. He went out and got a loan, borrowed all kinds of money, put his life savings in it, hired some guys to go out there with picks and shovels, did tons of research to figure out where the gold is… and things got tough.

Know the whole story and learn  how persistence Pays in real estate investing by watching the video below.

Where there’s a WILL, there’s a WELL!

I haven’t showered since Saturday… but I’m hoping that with each passing day it gets me closer to enjoying the cleanliness and freshness that a daily shower brings…

There’s children in East Africa in a school/orphanage that have never showered. In fact, most of the have never tasted water that wasn’t from an unclean pond or trough… and many are dying because of it.  These people want to fend for themselves, but don’t have the water to drink, wash, or grow their own crops.

A child in Africa dies every 15 seconds due to disease brought on due to lack of water. The sad part, is there’s an ocean of fresh, clean water only FOUR HUNDRED FEET below the surface. Donate $100 or more and receive two 30 minute one on one coaching sessions from me, whenever you need it.

WE CAN HELP BY CLICKING HERE NOW!

Only $5 or so can give a child water for many years if not life. My goal is to raise $2500 to help drill a well for the Tania Center for Special Needs Children… help me, help the people around me… but especially, help those who can’t help themselves…

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Nick
