@Sebastian Bennett

Hey Buddy,

I remember when BP would be helpful. Not one of these Posts has 1st knowledge (heresay?) & how have you "checked them out." with a quote from their consultant, then you cast aspersions?

Reminds me of a relative with nothing, that gives you advice... "I know a guy at work who's Cousins, Uncles, Aunts, Mother did it and lost everything in Real Estate, I wouldn't do it!"

Me "Well if you know all that let's work together and you can show me what to avoid;-)"

relative "I'm busy, I'll get back to you later..." :-|

I'd go to your state Division of Banks & Secretary of State, looking for their Licenses, Filings and maybe Complaints. Maybe start small, if at all?

I like Seller Financing.

Post: TUESDAY 6/27/23! If you’re not making offers, you’re not buying houses!

If you’re not making offers, you’re not buying houses!

Thanks to your REIA, you now have the tools to help you do just that, Make Offers that Get Accepted.

Doors open at 6:pm, New Members Orientation, Marco's Pizza, Lincolns Real Estate Market update, Mike Jacka Analyzer System!......... Adjourn 9 PM

No Charge to Members, Only $25 for guests, Only $149/Year to join!

My name is Mike Jacka, a full time investor of 25 plus years and the developer of the Property Analyzer Tools that are available through this REIA as a Premium Upgrade.

At this training I will show you how to Quickly and Accurately Estimate Repairs, Analyze a Property and Make Offers that Get Accepted.

One of the things that hold many people back is the fear of making a mistake because they may have missed something or that they think they don’t know all the details that the experienced investors do. Over the years I have developed systems and checklists to help my staff and agents collect the required information and how to read/analyze the information so that it all makes sense. The next step is how to use all that information to make an offer that the seller is more likely to accept and how to make money from the deal once the seller accepts your offer.

The national average of deals to offers ratio is around 20 offers made to buy 1 property. That simply doesn’t make sense to me. Most people that follow my system have reduced that number down to buying 1 out of every 3 offers they make.

I set out to create a simple yet effective system so that I could get anyone trained within a few days to go out and find deals for me with little to no experience. It took several years of trial and error to find the right process, but it was worth it because now I can hire someone new, with no experience and have them finding deals and presenting offers while I am traveling around the country doing what I love; helping others find their own success.
Why does this system work?

Because it looks at the most important numbers and presents you with a few different ways to buy a property and more importantly, it also shows you the appropriate exit strategy for each offer and what your potential profit centers are in each deal based on the unique circumstances of your deal, not just hypotheticals that do not relate to the deal you are looking at.

During our Premium Members Training/Mastermind Sessions, I challenge the students to go out there and just do it. Here is an email I just got back from one of them the other day.

May 30, 2023 Landlord HELP, Market Update, Orientation & Legislation. 6:00-9pm

Not a week goes by that I don't get a call for Help, from a distraught, unknowledgeable Landlord that's stepped on a "Tenant Landmine". (With over 300 active members and 1891 web/email members it seems inevitable.)

Despite the fact that we have all the Legal docs available or a Source for them, to maintain a Legal Tenancy
i.e. Application, Lease, Statement of Conditions, Escrow form and the blue Lead Form.

also annual educational visits from the head of the Housing Courts and the Junkyard Dog of eviction Attorneys.

so, May 30, 2023 6:00-9pm

* David with Help for Landlords!
For the past 12 years Investigative Screening has focused on taking an investigative look into an applicant's past.
In short, rather than wrongly relying on databases that often give inadequate or false responses,
we perform a comprehensive nationwide in-depth search using Private Investigators.
We believe you simply cannot take the hands-on, human element away from proper screening practices.
Many instant tenant screening products count on the landlords to perform backgrounds,
even though they are often not aware or do not have the tools to properly make informed decisions.

we "Americans work harder than ever before to pursue freedom, based on the delusion that more money and success will equate to a better life. The typical American trades the vast majority of their time and energy for the hope that, someday, they'll be free. Meanwhile, their intense pursuit of money and success is the very thing robbing them of their freedom.
What we really want is LIFE. Our heart's desire is really to become more than just a "Success" by the the world's standards - more than a Millionaire. What we really want is to become a LIFEONAIRE!" Jason Wojo PhD LIVE!
