I heard on a podcast from a mastermind that you can Not do a lease option for more than 12 months without it being considered Seller Financing!

I know this is an old thread, but I actually got the 'latest' program if anyone wants to ask for feedback or interested in buying it...or if you already have it and are implementing, wouldn't mind masterminding ;-)ThanksRob

For most it is wholesaling or lease options.I mastermind with the best in the business and what Brian is telling you is solid...

I was interested in the 'no excuses mastermind event'. 

@Paul Felix I'm impressed with your commitment to metrics and attempts to abstract better data to your response rates.Thanking the big picture view, you still don't know if the problem is the list, the mailer, the message, the timing or any combination thereof.I suggest you enter the direct repose marketing work of Dan Kennedy, Perry Marshall and others now that it appears you wish to be a serious marketer.I just returned from hosting my invitation only mastermind group in Santa Barbara where one of my members has been pulling several million names per month, covering all 3,043 US counties and reselling the data (it's a very big enterprise).

"The worst December since the Great Depression" cannot be a harbinger of anything else.Pay attention to what's happening in your local markets and start master-minding about your next course(s) of action.

Not mastermind groups or high end networking groups.

Just hit us up on our next mastermind call and we'll walk you through it and help you w/ the strategy in your market. 

I suspect the only barrier for entry is the lack of funds.. if you have the funds I suspect you can join if you wish.. there are some high level masterminds where it is invitation only  those exist.
