For instance, If you had a free eBook give away titled foreclosure secrets, and you wanted to use this as an incentive to get visitors to sign up for your mailing list.

The majority of the attendees were trying to get contacts for listings.When you find the secret, let me know.

You want the big secret?

Well said.The lesson here for any newbie or even seasoned investor is that gurus almost always promote "secret" strategies and the like which are not cookie cutter items for all investors in all situations.

LOL- Anyways, glad to have ya here.BTW- I would love a PM explaining the "secret club" a bit more.

Try T Harv Ecker "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind' My wife and I have been doing the system for 5 months(I don't like the word budget) and the results have been unbelievable.

Where they can be found is NO secret and the bank will take the strongest offer.There are thousands of REO properties to be found, that are under perceived "market value," however in CA "market value" is very subjective.Most REO transactions take longer to close than a traditional transactions and there are obstacles to overcome, even in the best case scenario.I have represented many clients, in which an REO property LOST value during the transaction period.Where I do see an investing opportunity is as follows:Best case, look for a short sale in which the inventory is stale and the bank wants the property off the books.

Some have mentioned some things, others "dance around" those activities, "mentioning" them as if they're a big secret, which they would be but someone else has already told me of them and how they work.

They will charge you like $300 but you know he doesn't have any secret agenda to profit from you.

This business is rife with gurus who claim to have some secret, and sell their wares to gullible newbies with a promise of tons of income and no work.
