Mr. Mike,

Where did I say I would pay anyone $12,000 per month for me to train? Obviously you are knocking something before you even try it, plus you didnt even read the my signature correctly.

You must think people on this forum are stupid, since you did mention if anyone on here is "that" stupid. I would be careful in what you say.

Listen, I dont know your background and will not knock what you do as a professional in this field. It seems to me that you do keep your options open when it comes to making money, but skeptical when it comes your way. If you are open to speaking more on what I can help you with, send me a pm.

By they way, I never promised anyone anything...

100 units in your lifetime is very minimal. You should be shooting for bigger numbers especially if you are serious about creating wealth for yourself. Real estate is always risky no matter how you go about it, it will make it easier if you know exactly what strategies you are implementing and you will have more exit strategies underneathe your belt.

Go for the gold and make sure you are doing things correctly. I personally wouldnt hold any property unless I have some sort of cash flow coming in. It will make it easier to invest in real estate especially if you are planning to buy and hold onto property.

Mentors are great, but a system (throw in the mentor if needed) that works and that has been perfected is much better especially if you are looking to create a continuous cash flow not only in real estate but in business as well. Let one hand feed the other! One empty hand is hard to feed the other empty hand.

If you have a mentor you depend on, what will happen if that mentor either moves away, dies, decides not to mentor you anymore, etc...? Then your stuck with what you have only learned. Why not set yourself on a system that is continuously perfecting itself by multi-millionaires that practice what they preach and a community that is ready to give back and help build future joint venture partners to do more real estate?

Reading books and listening to tapes and all that other garbage is great and all but it wont really get you anywhere unless you are one of those extra-ordinary folks that takes action. I have seen so many people by into the "gurus" whether it is through books or the late night tv infomercials.

Get ecducated for real and spend the money for it. You have to spend money to make money. Education pays you, it doesnt cost!

Once you have the release of information, call the loss mitigation dept. and ask for the fax number. They will ask for the loan number, owners name, blah blah...tell them you are getting ready to fax over a short sale package and would like the fax number of where to fax it to.

Once you have that situated, you must make sure you have everything in order and in place to fax over. The banks DO NOT want to teach you how to do a short sale and how to negotiate with them. When you call the bank, you will ask for loss mitigation dept., then you will give the sellers info. and then ask you is the contact person for the account.

All lenders have the same criteria as to what you need to fax over. The all use the same crieteria as to what price they will negotiate at. If you give them some rediculous amount they will not even pay attention to your offer. As for having a listing on the property, that is non-sense. If you do this properly, you should have your title company in place along with buyers that want specific short sale deals. So when you have the final offer settled through the bank and they give you the payoff letter, you will have 30 days to close on the property. Get a hard money lender and line up a buyer for yourself so do a double closing. Make sure you have a title company that knows how to do a double closing and is okay with it. It is not an illegal transaction, but some title companies have no clue what a double or simultaneous closing is...

Where did you learn how to do short sales? Much success...

vistaprints.com for business cards

I believe you need a personal website to have your name as your main addy. Why do you want to waste money on a website since you seem to be getting started? I wouldnt waste my money on that just yet. There are plenty of ways to pull leads for free or for a few bucks.

Are you looking to do any buy and holds or fix and flips?

What is your main target in real estate and are you building short term wealth or long term wealth?

I think going door to door is a waste of time and energy. You will look completely inexperienced. Not only that most people are in denial that they are in foreclosure, dont want to talk to anyone about it, depressed, pissed off, etc... I wouldnt consider it! Learned the hard way and then the easy way by getting educated.

Send letters that indicate nothing of the fact that you are here to buy there home, get them out of foreclosure, work with the bank, etc...
Send them a letter saying that it is unfortunate that they are going into foreclosure and if they need any help to contact you. Dont mention the down falls of foreclosure or any negative writing to them, they already know that and dont care to hear it.

Wait about a month and send another letter saying the same thing, but a little more in detail and letting them know you specialize in helping individuals potentially get of their foreclosure. Usually by the second or third letter they will call you back, because you come across as you care and not there to hound them and promise to buy their house or get them out of foreclosure.

Hope this helps!
