This session will be about what I call “Telephone Magic”… ways to use the telephone to get deals, setup appointments, and have the upper hand in the conversation! Sellers, buyers, your kids, spouse… have them begging to do what YOU want because of the techniques you use by phone. In my “other life” I ran a telemarketing company and spent many years developing effective phone techniques, as well as training people to sell by phone. I’ve combined my expertise in consultative telephone selling and my years in real estate to come up with a presentation that will help you be more effective by phone, and help you close more deals!
Don’t LOSE deals just because you’re not well versed in telephone strategies and techniques! Maximize every lead by giving yourself the proper training to put your percentages through the roof!
We’ll talk about pregnant pauses, the hold button, taking control, more on hot buttons, mirroring and other phone techniques YOU can use today to get and close more deals. This is a perfect complement to go with the techniques we covered LAST call about certain words and phrases that consistently help you get what you want… combine both to dominate the conversation!

Get Comps to Know the True Value of a House
Our newest “TGIF” video, found in our Real Estate Investor TV section covers “how to get comps as a real estate investor“. (click on “RE Investor TV” above, or click here to watch the video on how to get real estate investor comps)
My daughter just got married and they’re starting to look at houses. They had an appointment to look at one, and it was priced around $30,o00 MORE than the other similar properties in the same area. The Realtor told them something like “it’s worth more than the rest because they spent $30,000 in upgrades since they bought it”. (of course my daughter now knows better)
The seller bought it two years earlier for the same price that properties in the neighborhood are NOW selling for. (I ran comps to check it out of course!) They put $30k into it to bring it UP to the condition standard of the neighborhood… but unfortunately for them, it’s STILL only worth around what they paid for it. (either they paid way too much, the prices fell, they over-renovated for the area or a combination)
They may find a buyer faster because of the upgrades, but just because you put money into a house doesn’t guarantee its value will increase! When you’re calculating the value of a house, you can’t just add what you paid to what you added in renovations… all that truly matters (with the exception of some slight variables) is what comparable houses are selling for NOW!
Sure, in an area where there’s more of a variance in prices (like an area of $450k to $600k homes, for instance) upgrades will add to the value to a degree. (typically 50%-70%) But, in an area where properties run from $100k-$120k, you just will not get as much of a return, if any. Some additions, like a pool for instance may actually hurt your chances of selling for more, while changing an attic or basement from storage to living space may give you the most bang for your buck.
Sure, you’ll enjoy your home more, you’ll have the chance to sell faster, and you’ll have a better living experience, but it won’t always add to your bottom line when selling… especially (like I said above) if you paid too much to begin with.
Click here now to watch a video on where to find comps and how to calculate values, as well as see the email I sent to my daughter explaining in easy to understand terms how houses are priced. It’s a great way to explain values to your sellers or buyers as well!

Telephone Tips for Real Estate Investors
Our latest TGIF teaches telephone tips and techniques for real estate investors…
Let’s face it, a lot of newer investors (and plenty of old) are afraid to pickup the phone. Whether it’s to cold call “for rent” ads, return a call to seller lead, or talk to a private lender, some of us get jittery knowing you have to make the call. This leads to procrastination, nervousness, and of course, lost deals and money.
Our latest TGIF bridges this gap, and helps investors by teaching them tips they can use when phoning. These are specific techniques that are to help create a relationship, take control, and move the deal forward… whatever type of deal, or whoever you’re talking to. (even your spouse, friends, or kids will respond positively… practice on them!)
Learn;
- How to use the “if word” (I said IF!)
- How to use the hold button
- How to “pet the goldfish”
- How to create a relationship
- How to “mirror” the person you are talking to
How to find their “hot button”
And more….

Plan your work and work your plan…
…make yourself two hundred grand!
As we approach the new year, thoughts of “new years resolutions” come to mind… and even though the high majority of people NEVER follow through, a true entrepreneur uses this same time to evaluate the past year, make changes, and prepare for the next.
The best way to assure you have a great 2012 as a real estate investor, is to set new goals, and have the proper business plan!
I’ve created both a VIDEO teaching goal-setting, and anMP3 AUDIO that will help you create a business plan for your real estate business in 2012… (see link below)
Without goals and a business plan it’s very hard to succeed. You’re a ship without a rudder, a man without a country, a … well you get the picture, lol. No matter if you’re a full-time investor, or you only want to do a deal or two this year to pay for a family vacation, you NEED goals and a plan.
The goals give you a concrete target to attack, and the plan tells how you’ll get there. Both are equally important…
True goals need to be;
- Written Down
- Specific, not Vague
- Totally Believable
- Measurable
- Have a Deadline
And your business plan consists of these parts;
- Cover Page
- Table of Contents
- Executive Summary
- Overview
- Market Analysis
- Marketing Plan
- Operations/Implementation
- Financial Plan
- Assumptions
- Closing Statement
- Appendix
Go HERE for a video AND audio that will help you with both! (or CLICK on “RE Investor TV” in the header at the top of the page!
Have a super holiday and a happy New Year! Your friend and fellow investor,

The State of the Foreclosure Market in 2012
Up to 9 million homes may enter foreclosure in 2012, versus one million in a typical year. This will send shock-waves through the stock markets and world economy. It may well be the “dark ages” for homeowners and lenders alike…and the wave of mortgage re-sets will continue in a relentless onslaught…with no mercy! This can equate to 500 billion in lender losses…
Check out this chart from a huge Euro Bank that shows when the resets are happening for all the exotic mortgages:
As you can clearly see, we are entering the last (HUGE) wave of foreclosures right now. All of these resets will cause foreclosures in 2012, especially in the high-end home market.
CLICK HERE to find out how to make money from this situation!
The ARM’s, Option ARM’s, Subprime and Alt-A will be the main casualties – but the contagion will spread into the primeclasses too!
The “Too Big to Fail” banks are under the gun for the shady practice of “robo-signing,” which covers a wide range of foreclosure paperwork abuses. This serious “mess” has launched massive legal probes around the country, including an investigation led by an angry hive of state attorney generals which reportedly could end up costing banks upward of $20 billion in settlements to ripped-off foreclosed home-owners.
The big lenders will be in the “hurt locker” and desperately seeking investors willing take distressed residential and commercial properties off their books…as soon as possible!
As you know, 60% of all Option ARM and ALT-A mortgages that were originated in the “Sand States” -California, Nevada,Arizona, and Florida began to adjust in 2009. And I’ve got news for you… it’s not over yet by a long shot!!
In 2012, it’s going to go through the roof, impacting the entire nation with pre-foreclosure and foreclosure activity. Many of the major lenders will hold vast amounts of toxic foreclosures…and are on the edge of extinction. They are doing a wild spin into C-, D- and finally E- credit ratings – and that’s end-game.
This massive shift has created a huge opportunity for real estate investors in 2012. Now is the time to tap into this massive opportunity.
Do not ignore this opportunity or you may regret it for the rest of your life… your friend and fellow investor,

Using Private Money for Short Sales
Talk of a double-dip is making many investors nervous. When investors get nervous they pull their money out of stocks and move them into more liquid assets.
According to “Money and Markets” reporter, Mike Larson, the poor economy is pulling the housing market back into a double dip recession. Larson’s bottom line is now is the time to get rid of housing-related stocks, and to invest in short sales.
If you are investing in short sales, it is your job to convince potential money partners that now is a great time to invest in short sales. There are two ways those with cash on the side-lines can get involved: become a private money lender or become a cash buyer and hold properties for cash flow and long term gain.
Many private investors will see a 1% return per month, or part of a month on money lent short term as a great return. A hard money lender does lending as a business and for the risk involved would expect 2 or 3% for transactional funds, and may ask for points in addition.
For those who want to rehab and sell at retail it is difficult to find transactional funding for the three to six months it might take to flip a short sale to a retail end Buyer. When more time is needed to complete the flip, private money is essential, and private money will cost less than hard money.
Convince private investors with the benefits of short sale lending. The money is not out for long. The loan is also secured with something tangible-the property. If you fail to close with a new buyer, the Lender gets the house and can resell it or rent it out. The money is freed up quickly and can be put to use again and again for short term flips.
The other way private money can be put to use in this economy is by buying wholesale property for long term appreciation and cash flow. Cash buyers who acquire at wholesale prices and then hold for cash flow through rentals and long term appreciation understand that having real estate in the portfolio is a key to wealth building. Even faced with the threat of a double dip, those prepared to hold long term are still buying near the market trough and will gain long term.
The short sale market is relatively recession and inflation-proof. Convincing private money investors and cash buyers of this will be the key to long term success for many short sale specialists.
There are tons of ways to make money in real estate, but all of them are useless unless you have a steady flow of motivated sellers and qualified buyers coming into your business. When you have a solid pipeline of prospects, you pick and choose the best of the best and finally take control of your financial future. Find out the most effective ways to get your real estate investing business roaring and turn it into an absolute cash engine.

Our “Partnership Info” Call Went Great! (here’s the replay)
We JUST finished explaining to the 1EZDeal members how they can help find buyers for our deals and grab a big split for doing so… in some cases they could spend 15 minutes on the phone and literally snag thousands of dollars, lol! (how hard is it to find a buyer for a beautiful home that already has the mortgage in place and their credit doesn’t matter?)
(you make even more if you find the buyers too!)
Anyhow, we talked about how to find buyers, what to tell them, how to make sure it’s all legal, where to get the paperwork, etc, etc.. We even covered where to learn how to find motivated sellers as well. We’re always looking for motivated people who want to earn as they learn the creative real estate business.
