I bet your wasting a lot of time and money on your real estate advertising that could be better utilized. What if I told you of a way to know exactly how to spy to see what you’re competitors are doing so you can outshine them every day of the week? What if I told you there was a way that you could position yourself totally different from all the other ‘We Buy Houses’ crap that you see out there?

See, here’s the deal: when I think of these guys, the first thing that pops in my mind is the investor handyman with a beat up crappy truck with all types of garbage in the back. No offense if this is you, it just happens to not be what I want for my life or my business.

These guys are in love with their work and most don’t have the slightest clue how to work a deal creatively. So what makes you different from all the other goons out there? I’ll tell you in just a moment, but first I have an exercise for you.

If you already have a property that you have control of or that you’re trying to sell, then call up every “We Buy Houses” ad that you see. Now, I want you to play dumb (I know that’s not to hard for some but amuse yourself- OK?) when you talk to the “We Buy Houses” guys. Act like a homeowner would that is trying to sell their house. Don’t let them in on your little experiment, just do it and play the role of the motivated seller- OK?

Also, call any of the people that are offering a Free Report on “How to sell your house”.

Now, I want you to document everything they did during the appointment. Document if they were late, if they didn’t show up, or if they didn’t even call. For those that are offering a Free Report, document everything they send you, the time period it takes for them to send you and any follow up they have with you. Keep up with all this in a binder, under each company’s information that you called.

I can here you screaming through the internet right now - “Wow, Derek, that sure sounds like a lot of busy work. Why in the heck do you want me to do all that nonsense?”

You’ll thank me when you’ve completed this little task because it’s one of the most down and dirty tricks that I’ll ever teach you. As a matter of fact, I don’t know anyone that has this clear type instruction for you to attack and spy on your market’s competitors.

So, what’s the freakin use?

Ok, Sherlock. First you’ve got to realize that many of the “real deal” investors in this business are not going to share with you openly what they know. They want to protect their market and many will flat out lie to you or will fabricate the truth just to keep you out of their market. Well, this little technique will show you exactly what their marketing approach is and how they conduct business with their entire marketing campaign at your fingertips.

Imagine knowing how to tap into their mindset knowing exactly what approach they take to real estate deal making.

What would you give to know exactly what your soon to be competition is doing?

Well, now you can because I’ve given you the exact steps to go about spying on other real estate investors. That’s powerful to be able to know exactly what your competitors are doing in terms of their marketing approach. As a matter of fact, you can sit back and watch what they do for several months to see who remains in business and who doesn’t.

Now, I’ve done this little task and the results are simply amazing.

Here’s what you’ll find: That most investors that are pouring in their hard earned money for advertising do one thing: Nothing.

They’ll fail to call you back, they’ll fail to keep the appointment, or they’ll be late.

Here’s what else you’ll notice:

They always take phone calls during meeting with the sellers; they fail to build any type of rapport, simply going in for the kill by immediately talking about the numbers. They appear more desperate than a high school boy on prom night.

As you sit back watching this dog and pony show, ask yourself if you’d be willing to sell your home to this idiot or would you be skeptical. You will quickly realize there is not as much competition as you initially thought. The only competition you have is yourself.

Let me ask you this, if your competition was doing this, then how hard do you believe it would be to smoke them, leaving them eating your dust?

The fact is that it’s the same way in all businesses. You only have a handful that seems to use their brain. You’ve probably been to numerous businesses or restaurants in the past few months or even weeks where you noticed the service wasn’t up to par. The same is true with investors as most piddle, waste time, and appear to be un-caring about the seller’s situation. Therefore, they don’t do deals, which in turn makes it easy for you to outshine the others.

Take time out to spy on your competitors and you’ll see exactly how you can bring more to the market than any one else.

SECRETS TO SUCCESS IN NETWORK MARKETING?

this is by mark januszewski

The only secret you need to know is the one guru’s and generic tool peddlers know…….and don’t want you to know.

There are no secrets to network marketing or, for that matter to success.

See, if people can get you to believe there is a secret or two…..or a magic way to get prospects online that are ‘pre-qualified’…..they can sell you something.

These bottom feeders leverage your inexperience, impatient and fear to get at your credit card.

Before you know it you are spending more time on these ‘secrets’ and ‘shortcuts’ AND promoting this guru who has earned a dime for you…….than your own business.

So, let me repeat…..there are no secrets…….only people who want you to believe that so they can sell you stuff.

WE ARE ALL SCARED

I’m close to 20 years of succeeding and before I did, I failed for 5 years. That’s 25 years.

I’ve never met anyone who joined an MLM, mine or countless others from other deals who had all the time and money they wanted BEFORE they joined.

Most of us finally look at networking when we are in pain over time, money or both.

We are scared. Oh, we might not admit that but the situation that trigger our decision and trying something new is going to create some fear.

It’s normal.

It’s my story and probably yours too.

Deal with it as a successful person deals with things.

That is the key.

LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE

Success thinking attracts success…..fear thinking? Well….

Don’t kid yourself by comparing what you are feeling on the inside to what other people’s outsides.

Successful people, both in and out of MLM have some fear….most of it healthy they just do something different with it.

And no, this is not some new-age or Zen solution coming at you.

We’ve been blessed to be asked to speak all over the world. After we do, we get lots of kind words and always a few people who comment on how relaxed and comfortable we were and it made them relax about networking.

We always tell them the same thing, the thing that turned us into coveted speakers…..

“Show me a speaker who isn’t nervous or scared and I’ll show you a bad speaker.”

It’s true…we just know what to do with that fear, what all successful people so with fear.

KNOWLEDGE

Most fear is a lack of knowledge, certainly in business it is…..

Successful people

1.get the knowledge, reduced fear
2.create a written plan to put knowldge in play
3.practice, shrinking fear
4.put it in play, courage built on confindence from 1&3
Network marketing, truth be told, is easy once you realize you’ve been doing it since you were 6 years old…..you learned about stuff from some kids, told others and told your parents; about a baseball glove, a movie or a new ice cream stand.

All occupations are the same….they have a couple ‘traction’ points…..points that will ‘drive’ income.

We all talk to people everyday

It’s no mystry in network marketing…..it’s talking to people and learning a couple network marketing skills just means learning how to talk to people rejection free without pressuring them or ourselves.

When people enroll, we simply give them network marketing help by teaching them they already know how to talk to people.

I wouldn’t call it rocket science or a secret…..I’d just call it the truth…..

“If we are going to make some money, we need to talk to people.”

Real Estate Investing - Why I Like Home Inspections!

September 3, 2010 by Kenny Santos  
Filed under Real Estate Investing

I asked a friend recently what he thought of having home inspections done on residential investment property. “They suck,” he said rather vehemently. When I asked him why he had such an emotional reaction, he shrugged his shoulders and mumbled something about inspections being a big waste of time and money because they “never find anything wrong anyway.” I suspect my friend either isn’t buying enough houses, or he hired the wrong inspector.

My Home Inspector finds things wrong with every house he inspects, and that’s just the way I want it. Costing between $200 and $450 each, I think home inspections are one of the single best bargains for a real estate investor. In fact, usually the inspection pays for itself, and I’ll tell you why in just a minute. First, let me just say that if my inspector ever tells me a house has no problems, I will send him back to do the job right. Here’s why.

What Should Be Inspected

All my offers on houses (except bank foreclosures- I’ll explain that in a minute, too) are subject to an inspection by a professional Home Inspector. I’ll say it again. ALL my offers. Why? Two reasons.

First, even though I’m a pretty handy guy and I’ve bought and sold a lot of houses, I’m no expert in structures or engineering- not even close. My Home Inspector is. There are a lot of things that could be wrong with any home I purchase, no matter how good it looks or how new it is. Nasty things like cracks where there should be no cracks, leaks or water damage in spots that should be dry, heating systems that throw only cold air, and… well, you get the idea. My inspector, expert that he is, knows how to find these things, and his job is to tell me about them.

Second, because I make so many offers, I just don’t have time to inspect a home like I should. Putting a home inspection clause in my offers is like my safety valve. I don’t have to worry because my inspector will do what I don’t have time to do. As we already discussed, he’s much better qualified anyway.

O.K., I promised I would tell you the reason I don’t put this clause in my offers on bank foreclosures. Here’s why- it would weaken my offer to the bank. Banks give preference to true, non-contingent offers and I want them to know that I’m prepared to close no matter what. Will I have an inspection done on these foreclosure homes? You better believe I will- but I won’t make my offer subject to the inspection. The results of the inspection will be for my own information and edification only.

I have all my residential investments inspected, and I recommend you do the same.

Another Tool In Your Bag

There is one more very important reason to have a home inspection done. When you sign a purchase offer, and it is accepted by the seller, the negotiation process is not over- not by a long shot. In the seller’s mind it might be over, but in my mind it’s really just beginning.

When your inspector finds something wrong- trust me, he will- you have another tool in your bag of negotiating tactics. Now is the time to go back to the seller, explain the findings of the inspector, and ask for one of two things- either repairs of the problem areas, or credit off the selling price. Either one is good, but personally I like the money better. Here’s an example.

Recently, I had a home inspection done on a 1724 square foot ranch in a nice section of town. The home inspection actually turned up very little, but a couple of things my inspector did catch were a faulty damper in the chimney flue and a bad GFI circuit interrupter in one of the bathrooms. Not necessarily major repairs, but I am going to incur some cost to repair them. They also represent a powerful negotiating tool. What did I do?

I phoned my Realtor and explained the inspector’s findings. Then, I instructed my Realtor to ask for $750 credit off the price of the home to cover the repairs. Will I get it? Not bloody likely, but I will get something, and that’s the whole point. Whatever I am able to negotiate, (in this case it wound up being $350) it’s more than I would have gotten if I had decided to forego the inspection. Also, I wouldn’t have found out about the needed repairs until much later- maybe not until I sold the house and my buyer’s home inspection turned them up. Not good.

But, since I did know, I was able to renegotiate for $350, which was $130 more than the inspection cost me. I told you most of them pay for themselves! Very good.

Who To Hire

I have written another article, Building Your Team, about how to find and hire competent professionals to help you in your Real Estate business. I’ll share a few additional comments here on that.

First, look for someone with the right credentials. Members of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) are certified to conduct home inspections, and licensed engineers are licensed by your state. Either or both of those qualifications are very desirable.

Second, look for experience. If they just hung their shingle last week, they are probably not experienced enough to handle the job. My guy has been inspecting homes for 23 years, and was a contractor before that. In fact many highly qualified inspectors are semi-retired contractors.

Finally, ask other investors and Realtors for referrals. They will know who the trustworthy inspectors are in your town. Once you find someone you trust and enjoy working with, stick with them. The hassle of switching is not worth saving a few bucks, which is all we’re really taking about anyway.

Consider well what I’ve said in this article. I think you’ll agree that getting a home inspection is one of the best things you can spend your money on when investing in residential property.

Now, go make more offers!

Real Estate Investing: Make Money with your Property

June 15, 2010 by Kenny Santos  
Filed under Real Estate Investing

Investing in properties is one of the best ways to make money. Buying underdeveloped and foreclosed real estate then developing and selling it is an example of real estate investment.

When investing in real estate you should first determine what kind of real estate investment is suitable for you. Do not just jump in with the crowd and start buying properties. You have to think this through. Remember that real estate investment is one of the biggest financial decisions you have to make and can be very risky and might end you up broke.

There are many ways to invest in real estates. One of them is the assumption of loan. The good thing about assuming the loan is that you will need less money to invest in a property. Therefore, you can spend more cash for the property development and upkeep.

Since the lender already knows about the property, you save precious time and money. Another great thing about assuming loans is that with long-term loans you will not start the amortization process when you start the loan. This is because the monthly payments of the first owner was used to the amortization instead of the interest.

There are many ways to assume the loan.

Here are some ways:

Trust Deed Financing

This usually happens if the banks will not finance for the loan of the property. When this happens, the seller can use a trust deed where the buyer can pay lower down payments and the seller will be more flexible with the terms of payment.

The advantages for this are lower costs and a chance for the seller to reduce interest costs. The trust deed also enables the seller to specify how many years the term of the loan will be.

Contract Financing

This works when the seller gets a second mortgage and wraps it around the existing mortgage. In this type of assuming the property loan, you have to ask permission from the loan holder to assume the loan. With this kind of financing, the new financing is added to the original loan.

You might want to know why you would want to invest in Real Estate

Real estate investments can increase the property’s value. To make this work, you have to invest in the development of the property to appraise the value of the property.

You will be buying an underdeveloped property cheaply and sell it with the property value increased.

Before investing in a real estate, ask yourself these following questions before buying:

* What are the local investment conditions?

* What retirement savings do I have?

* Do I want a house to provide income when I retire?

* Do I want to pay down the loans on my properties before I retire and live on the income they generate?

* Do I want to sell the properties and use the profits to finance my retirement?

* What other investments do I have?

* Can my unpredictable cash flow allow me to own my properties?

* Will my property generate immediate income or will it be a long-term investment?

Answering questions like these can help you decide if you would want to invest in real estate. It will help you determine about the type of income you would get in your property and allows you to see yourself in the future when you retire.

Real Estate Investing Spy Secrets

October 20, 2009 by Kenny Santos  
Filed under Real Estate Investing

I bet your wasting a lot of time and money on your real estate advertising that could be better utilized. What if I told you of a way to know exactly how to spy to see what you’re competitors are doing so you can outshine them every day of the week? What if I told you there was a way that you could position yourself totally different from all the other ‘We Buy Houses’ crap that you see out there?

See, here’s the deal: when I think of these guys, the first thing that pops in my mind is the investor handyman with a beat up crappy truck with all types of garbage in the back. No offense if this is you, it just happens to not be what I want for my life or my business.

These guys are in love with their work and most don’t have the slightest clue how to work a deal creatively. So what makes you different from all the other goons out there? I’ll tell you in just a moment, but first I have an exercise for you.

If you already have a property that you have control of or that you’re trying to sell, then call up every “We Buy Houses” ad that you see. Now, I want you to play dumb (I know that’s not to hard for some but amuse yourself- OK?) when you talk to the “We Buy Houses” guys. Act like a homeowner would that is trying to sell their house. Don’t let them in on your little experiment, just do it and play the role of the motivated seller- OK?

Also, call any of the people that are offering a Free Report on “How to sell your house”.

Now, I want you to document everything they did during the appointment. Document if they were late, if they didn’t show up, or if they didn’t even call. For those that are offering a Free Report, document everything they send you, the time period it takes for them to send you and any follow up they have with you. Keep up with all this in a binder, under each company’s information that you called.

I can here you screaming through the internet right now - “Wow, Derek, that sure sounds like a lot of busy work. Why in the heck do you want me to do all that nonsense?”

You’ll thank me when you’ve completed this little task because it’s one of the most down and dirty tricks that I’ll ever teach you. As a matter of fact, I don’t know anyone that has this clear type instruction for you to attack and spy on your market’s competitors.

So, what’s the freakin use?

Ok, Sherlock. First you’ve got to realize that many of the “real deal” investors in this business are not going to share with you openly what they know. They want to protect their market and many will flat out lie to you or will fabricate the truth just to keep you out of their market. Well, this little technique will show you exactly what their marketing approach is and how they conduct business with their entire marketing campaign at your fingertips.

Imagine knowing how to tap into their mindset knowing exactly what approach they take to real estate deal making.

What would you give to know exactly what your soon to be competition is doing?

Well, now you can because I’ve given you the exact steps to go about spying on other real estate investors. That’s powerful to be able to know exactly what your competitors are doing in terms of their marketing approach. As a matter of fact, you can sit back and watch what they do for several months to see who remains in business and who doesn’t.

Now, I’ve done this little task and the results are simply amazing.

Here’s what you’ll find: That most investors that are pouring in their hard earned money for advertising do one thing: Nothing.

They’ll fail to call you back, they’ll fail to keep the appointment, or they’ll be late.

Here’s what else you’ll notice:

They always take phone calls during meeting with the sellers; they fail to build any type of rapport, simply going in for the kill by immediately talking about the numbers. They appear more desperate than a high school boy on prom night.

As you sit back watching this dog and pony show, ask yourself if you’d be willing to sell your home to this idiot or would you be skeptical. You will quickly realize there is not as much competition as you initially thought. The only competition you have is yourself.

Let me ask you this, if your competition was doing this, then how hard do you believe it would be to smoke them, leaving them eating your dust?

The fact is that it’s the same way in all businesses. You only have a handful that seems to use their brain. You’ve probably been to numerous businesses or restaurants in the past few months or even weeks where you noticed the service wasn’t up to par. The same is true with investors as most piddle, waste time, and appear to be un-caring about the seller’s situation. Therefore, they don’t do deals, which in turn makes it easy for you to outshine the others.

Take time out to spy on your competitors and you’ll see exactly how you can bring more to the market than any one else.

Real Estate Investing Spy Secrets

I bet your wasting a lot of time and money on your real estate advertising that could be better utilized. What if I told you of a way to know exactly how to spy to see what you’re competitors are doing so you can outshine them every day of the week? What if I told you there was a way that you could position yourself totally different from all the other ‘We Buy Houses’ crap that you see out there?

See, here’s the deal: when I think of these guys, the first thing that pops in my mind is the investor handyman with a beat up crappy truck with all types of garbage in the back. No offense if this is you, it just happens to not be what I want for my life or my business.

These guys are in love with their work and most don’t have the slightest clue how to work a deal creatively. So what makes you different from all the other goons out there? I’ll tell you in just a moment, but first I have an exercise for you.

If you already have a property that you have control of or that you’re trying to sell, then call up every “We Buy Houses” ad that you see. Now, I want you to play dumb (I know that’s not to hard for some but amuse yourself- OK?) when you talk to the “We Buy Houses” guys. Act like a homeowner would that is trying to sell their house. Don’t let them in on your little experiment, just do it and play the role of the motivated seller- OK?

Also, call any of the people that are offering a Free Report on “How to sell your house”.

Now, I want you to document everything they did during the appointment. Document if they were late, if they didn’t show up, or if they didn’t even call. For those that are offering a Free Report, document everything they send you, the time period it takes for them to send you and any follow up they have with you. Keep up with all this in a binder, under each company’s information that you called.

I can here you screaming through the internet right now - “Wow, Derek, that sure sounds like a lot of busy work. Why in the heck do you want me to do all that nonsense?”

You’ll thank me when you’ve completed this little task because it’s one of the most down and dirty tricks that I’ll ever teach you. As a matter of fact, I don’t know anyone that has this clear type instruction for you to attack and spy on your market’s competitors.

So, what’s the freakin use?

Ok, Sherlock. First you’ve got to realize that many of the “real deal” investors in this business are not going to share with you openly what they know. They want to protect their market and many will flat out lie to you or will fabricate the truth just to keep you out of their market. Well, this little technique will show you exactly what their marketing approach is and how they conduct business with their entire marketing campaign at your fingertips.

Imagine knowing how to tap into their mindset knowing exactly what approach they take to real estate deal making.

What would you give to know exactly what your soon to be competition is doing?

Well, now you can because I’ve given you the exact steps to go about spying on other real estate investors. That’s powerful to be able to know exactly what your competitors are doing in terms of their marketing approach. As a matter of fact, you can sit back and watch what they do for several months to see who remains in business and who doesn’t.

Now, I’ve done this little task and the results are simply amazing.

Here’s what you’ll find: That most investors that are pouring in their hard earned money for advertising do one thing: Nothing.

They’ll fail to call you back, they’ll fail to keep the appointment, or they’ll be late.

Here’s what else you’ll notice:

They always take phone calls during meeting with the sellers; they fail to build any type of rapport, simply going in for the kill by immediately talking about the numbers. They appear more desperate than a high school boy on prom night.

As you sit back watching this dog and pony show, ask yourself if you’d be willing to sell your home to this idiot or would you be skeptical. You will quickly realize there is not as much competition as you initially thought. The only competition you have is yourself.

Let me ask you this, if your competition was doing this, then how hard do you believe it would be to smoke them, leaving them eating your dust?

The fact is that it’s the same way in all businesses. You only have a handful that seems to use their brain. You’ve probably been to numerous businesses or restaurants in the past few months or even weeks where you noticed the service wasn’t up to par. The same is true with investors as most piddle, waste time, and appear to be un-caring about the seller’s situation. Therefore, they don’t do deals, which in turn makes it easy for you to outshine the others.
