Elijah, I agree with whoever said they don't think you screened them well enough. & Not sure what "...they informed me that they're out of work and broke." means? Did you call their employers? I'll PM you with how I handle it, Mike

Of course we cover Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire and we're located just North of Boston.

Good morning,

I look forward to see you this evening

Important Insurance info! Deal Calculator & Haves & Wants.

Mike Hurney is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Networking, Deal Calculator & THE Correct Insurance - Monthly MA/NH meeting

Time: Tuesday, Dec 28, 2021 06:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Once a year I try to consolidate all my Property insurance for updated quotes. This seems to pay off sometimes.

First, the “Dec” pages are the Summaries of coverage i.e. Deductible $250. Personal Liability $200,000. Which I was able to change to $1000. Deductible and $1,000,000. Personal Liability, For the SAME premium price!

Next, I remove the amount I’m paying when I send these out for a quote, so the agent doesn’t Low-ball us for the first year.

However

We’ve been disappointed the last few times:

Even more recently Matt read the polices wrong trying to disparage a current carrier.

Thomas was higher for all properties but he did encourage us to get a policy on vacant land.

Salem savings was higher on all properties but said they could cover almost all of them, being a single source:-0

Liberty Mutual redlined everything in Marblehead because of the Harvard study on eminent Hurricanes (flood zone:-(

MetLife will only cover an Owner Occupied and 4 others.

So

When I read a strategy some of my friends have (not Self-Insurance) but a Commercial policy, I thought it may be time to review that option.

This evening, December 28, 2021 6:30 -9pm Jim will have an analysis of that Commercial option with my coverage. Making sure we've got ”Rental Reimbursement” which our buddy Steve said, saved him over $90,000. in reimbursement not too long ago!

& a Review for Contractors Insurance:

What coverage do you have?
Do you use a Standard Contract? Which is enforceable?

We’re ALL very busy, so you may want to take a few minutes for THIS short review, This evening.

Also

There are 4 ways I’ve used to quickly analyze properties to Purchase. I’ll review those AND John’s Deal Analyzer which is in our Members section of MassRealEstate.net

Very Often folks ask me for a "Hard Money" Lender to finance one of their "Killer" Deals. When I send them to a members website and they input their data, the Lender calls and tells them: "NO, I can't Lend on that!"

Then they ask me for another Lender and another Lender. Completely missing the Point!

Wouldn't you like to know in 5 minutes, Upfront, whether You have a Killer Deal and whether you could Finance it?

John will go through his easy to use Deal Analyzer with us, so you'll know the answers to those 2 important questions on this Zoom call

Finally

Haves and Wants, There are always moving parts in any deal. Sometimes we Underestimate them, Some times we Overestimate them. This’ll be your chance to share either, with your fellow Investors/Landlords/Contractors!

I look forward to see you on Zoom, this evening.

1. Voice Message that we sent.

Victoria: (1:03)

"Good morning this is Victoria Meyer

That is, formerly Victoria Hurney and I’ve got an important message for our MassRealEstate Association

I’m here with Tony Youngs to let you know about a special opportunity TOMORROW (Tuesday October 26) 6:30-9pm

So please mark your calendars and do not miss this important meeting at DesignGroup47 in Peabody, MA

Tony will be giving us a preview of His Hidden Market BootCamp November 6-8!

It’s been a couple of years since Tony’s been here BUT he’s been speaking all over our great Country, helping folks find his famous Hidden Market Deals!

Tony, what I’ve been seeing here is that folks are bidding up the list prices of houses AND they’re counting on Appreciation & Inflation to increase the Value and their Profit

BUT what if it doesn’t continue? I suppose it’ll be OK for Owner Occupants.

BUT how would us Investors make Profit?

So it seems that it’s very important to buy at “Below Market” prices like you teach in your Hidden Market BootCamp, Right?

Oh,

Before I turn it over to you, Do you mind if I stop by the BootCamp, Saturday, November 6? There’s a little someone that would like to meet you?"

********************************************

Tony: (0:57)

"Yes Victoria, that’s exactly what we’re going to be doing!

You know auctions are not the way to get a good deal any more nor is buying on the MLS.

What I do, is I teach people to go into a neighborhood and find unlisted homes, that is, Distressed houses with no For-Sale sign!

You see every neighborhood has people going through job change, bankruptcy, divorce, behind on payments, death in the family, foreclosures, etc

And I’m going to teach people to go into a neighborhood and find who those people are, so we can buy these homes below market, that’s the only way!

That is the wave of the future!

The only way we can make profit in this crazy market!!

So for those folks who come to our meeting tomorrow evening, I’ve got a free DVD, just for attending! that tells all the details of the Hidden Market system.

And of course Victoria, I look forward to see the two of you!"

Victoria:

"That’s wonderful Tony and we can’t wait to see all you folks too!"

2. We've also got the local Market update for tomorrow evening.

and

3. I put a Special White Paper together for you:

How to Raise Rents? and How Much?

I look forward to see you soon! Mike Hurney, Director, MassRealEstate dot net & NewHampshireREIA dot org PO Box 307, Marblehead, MA 01945 No Charge to members and Only $25/guests or Only $99/year to join!

Of course we're located just North of Boston, Massachusetts and a little South of New Hampshire.

@Joe Splitrock

Who's side are you on. Landlords can't do this or that...

1st year, 1st semester of Engineering school we learned that, aerodynamically the Bumble Bee can't fly BUT they don't know it, they just fly!

Landlords, meet with your Tenants and get that Rent, quit shooting yourself in the foot!
