New Member - Fort Lauderdale , Fl -- Beginning Marketing Short Sale Opportunities

[Jamahl Cochran]

Hey, BP my name is Jamahl Cochran, and I am a new real estate investor working in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. But, I'm originally from New Jersey. Stay warm jersey spring and summer are just around the corner.

I've been to a couple of seminars and even paid about 40 bucks for a seminar on short sale investing program from a local group B.R.E.I.A down in fort lauderdale. The information was great but the networking was even better. Got a chance to speak to folks who've done millions in deals to newbies who haven't even sent out a letter.

So I haven't really had the chance to go through BP in great detail actually got this website from someone I met at a seminar. But, I've read a couple ebooks on REI and went through Robert Allen audio program.

So where I'm at is I am at a point that I know enough to know that I don't know anything about REI. But, I'm going forward to learn from doing through my first series of yellow letter marketing.

Have bunch of white envelopes and colored envelopes and will be handwriting letters focusing on buying properties of people in lis pendens and that are underwater on their houses. Also, I'm looking for leads in lis pendens for over a year. So they know they will have to do something. I'm wanting to help them out of a tough financial situation so they can move on with their lives and not have that burden effecting everything in their life. Whether it be a short sale or another direction but helping them be proactive and addressing and overcoming the situation.

I am basically doing this to put into practice what I've learned. I don't have a mentor but a few folks I've networked with will work with me on deals. So this post is for me to send out my first batch of 100 letters in my own zip code that fits the criteria. There is a website I'm using REIFAX.com to filter lis pendens and will verify with county record search and county appraisers website. I have the envelopes, stamps, yellow paper, red pens, and some samples of good copy so all thats left is filtering the leads and getting everything written.

I will have this done and mailed by 6 pm Sunday February 16th. Time to get started and learn from some mistakes
