My partner and I went to hear Ann Goldschmidt giveher "hotel meeting" teaser yesterday.It was a 90 minute preview of her 3 day course onShort Selling homes.The course comes complete with a private websitewhere you can easily find out what homes in yourarea are in pre-foreclosure (missed payments) andwhat they are worth, and how much is owed on them.They also give free leads to their graduates and oneyear intensive hand-holding support if you need it.By "free leads" I mean that graduates who find dealsbut are way too busy nowadays to do them, willhand them off to newer graduates who may be struggling to get started.Now to the preview: Of hotel meeting speeches I'veheard this was one of the best.
