I totally agree that the guru seminars are just pitches for their packages and coaching.  

His site is trying to sell a learn-to-invest package, but there's still a ton of stuff that's free to access.Mark also does a podcast you can link to from his blog or on iTunes with this guy Jeran Fraser.

I've done sales before and subconsciously negotiated the terms but it's never been an active practice... well unless I was creating various packages and options with prices and costs associated with each.Right now, I have a seller who is wanting $300k for her home.

A contract is a contract is a contract, with or without E/M, as long as all other elements of a contract are also in place.

And as I prepare an offer package, how can I show statistically how this will benefit him  in the long run over other options such as renovation or selling as is and listing?

Hello @David Gillilan ,The cost of money is only one of the cost elements to be considered on a flip.

Could I pay the taxes off and buy the property (as a package deal), or does the lien need to be cleared by themselves?

We received a call from a investor/contractor who received our letter on a property he was not interested in selling but had two other properties he wanted to package and sell. 

We found a guy offering two turnkey properties as a package deal.

Hi @Ryan Galasso,That is a pretty good basic package of coverage.The main thing I would be concerned about is the potential pollution exclusion and the ability to scale in the future.Most companies have a total pollution exclusion and in the case of tenants, the biggest thing to worry about in that regard is carbon monoxide poisoning from a furnace or water heater.
