I want to know what is own your mind. Therefore, I am taking a different approach with my weekly email newsletter today.

I would like to know if you have any questions for me that you think others like you would want to know the answers to.

Please email me your questions about Wholesaling specifically and real estate investing in general. Maybe I will feature them in my upcoming email newsletter.

This is a way for me to stay in touch with you, my valuable subscriber. So do not hold back, cast your thoughts upon yours truly.

Just a few ground rules please, keep your email short and to the point (never mind my long email stories). Next be respectful and think of questions or comments to benefit the rest of the subscribers in my database.

I thank you in advance for your time and input.

HEADS UP!

PS. Tell me what is on your mind about wholesaling or real estate investing in general by replying to this email. I may post your question on my future weekly tips.

Vacant Properties, Best Source For Leads

How do houses become vacant anyway?

Well, there are many factors such as, divorce, death, job loss, etc. But most recently there is a tidal wave of vacant properties due to the rise of foreclosures.

Once you understand how this phenomenon of vacant and abandoned houses actually occurs you will have a leg up on your competition. Why?

Think about it for a moment, most realestate investors are incestuous with their activities. Most doing the same outdated, counter productive marketing activities. You know, like posting bandit signs, newspaper ads or subscribing to overused lists.

As the saying goes people are like sheep being led to the slaughter by uniformed other sheep.

That saying really hits home for me when I think about how investors go about locating and tracking pre-foreclosures. Many trust their wallets to solve the problem by subscribing to list services or running expensive commercials.

There may be a few crumbs to get by going about it that way. But remember this saying by yours truly If it is public it has been picked over.

Picked over by whom you say? By the few ultra savvy investors in your city, that is who! These investors know that to be able to cut through the clutter of bumbling and stumbling wanna-be investors, contrary actions are a must.

That is why one of the very best methods for finding those smokin hot deals which no one else knows about is with vacant and abandoned houses.

If it is pre-foreclosures you are after there is no better way to get a jump on the sheep than tracking this type property.

As a matter of fact the actual foreclosure is the end result of many things gone wrong over a period of time finally sending the property owner reeling in a state of confusion.

Many times during this intense financially pressured, back breaking, spirit draining period the property owner throws in the ownership towel in exasperation.

He/she abandons ship in the middle of the night adding his home to the growing ranks of vacant properties.

See, even at this point of abandonment the bank may drag its feet in taking legal action against the property owner for back mortgage payments. The banks are overwhelmed in some areas to stay on top of their defaulted notes.

The sheep stand around grazing in the weeds of misinformation, waiting on the bank to make a public announcement down at the court house.

Meanwhile the astute investor has a system in place to identify these vacant properties long before the sheep gets wind of the blowing scent of greenbacks.

The sheep are all bumping into each other, heads to elbows ambling down the same dead end path of nothingness.

I am encouraging you break rank right now from the sheep herder and think outside the box. Start by noticing the vacant houses in your own neighborhood. These properties are literally everywhere.

In my Wholesale home study system you have everything you need to research the owner to strike a deal saving him and the bank a lot of trouble and unnecessary loss.

Remember the foreclosure notice is a last resort by the bank to recoup its money. No bank or lender wants to foreclose on a property. It is expensive, time consuming and looks bad to their investors.

Therefore, in most cases it can take months before a bank takes action. In the process there may have been attempts to work things out with the property owner to save the house.

Early Signs of Financial Distress

While money is tight the property owner starts to slip on routine maintenance such as grass cutting and basic landscaping. Funds are tight in that household. What ever is scrapped together goes toward the mortgage.

Other housing expenses start to slip through the cracks such as property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees.

The astute investor is monitoring not only the physical condition of properties but expenses as well.

The numbers of vacant and abandoned houses are on the rise in direct proportion to the increase in foreclosures. If you have been paying attention, foreclosures are at a 40 year high and predicted to get worse before better.

If you are reading this I know you are ready to break ranks from the herd and blaze your own path. Now is the time to take action and order my Wholesaling For Fast Cash, home study system where you will get my beat them to the punch marketing strategies.

The Fear of Failure - Do Not Let It Stop You


The Fear of Failure Do not Let it Stop You.

Following is an article I wrote for a youth Investor training event. I think it has much relevance for adults as well:

Fear can be a good thing if used to your advantage. Fear is an emotion nature provided each of us as a warning mechanism signaling possible danger ahead. However, fear should never be allowed to prevent you from taking a few bold steps in life.

Because there is so much pressure in today???s society, to avoid failure many people focus only on what they do not want.

Your mind is like a magnet attracting to your life the things you think about most. So if all you think about is failing at something; that is what will happen.

The anxiety of being frightened by failure follows most people into adulthood. To avoid failure, most adults choose the safe path in life. The reasons are the same as when they were kids.

It is the fear of being judged by their friends and family should they fail at their dream. Many work extremely hard to create an image of success even when they know they are failing.

Is it possible to experience failure and still succeed? Absolutely! If you talk to any successful person, like Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, and the actor affectionately known as The Rock, they will all tell you stories of personal failure.

In case you did not know it, successful people fail far more times in life than those playing it safe. Michael Jordon can not make a basket sitting safely on the bench. No, he has got to get in the game and take a shot even at the chance he may miss.

The same is true for you. You must get in the Game of Life and try a few things you really want to do. Understand, you may have a few failures along the way. That is normal. My dream as a teenager was to own a real estate business.

I had my share of failures and I did my best to avoid the fear of failures along the way. I have come to realize how failure is a natural part of reaching success. Nothing happens in a straight line.

Accept failure as a natural progression toward your dreams.

There is no shame in failure, there is only shame in never trying. (quote)
