Hi!

If you are new to the site.  Fast…before I take the offer down.  Signup on the right hand side for our newsletter. Upon confirmation…I’ll email you a link that has some freebies along with my NonPerforming Notes guidebook.

I remember when I first started real estate investing…  I was learning about No Money Down/Buying Owner Financed Homes, Buying Preforeclosures, Flipping Properties, etc.  I sucked up every bit of information I could get my hands on.

As of this time, I have been to Steve’s Bootcamps, have his Business in A Box course, have his Wholesaling for Quick Cash Course, and his Rehabbing for Big Bucks course.

Here is an Overview of what is included in the Wholesaling for Quick Cash Course:

 A sizeable, 330+ page step-by-step manual (See my Manual Review)I want to tell you a little bit about what is in Steve’s Wholesaling for Quick Cash course in this review.
  • Audio CD: Quick Start Audio
  • Audio CDs: “Answers to Your Top Wholesaling Questions”
  • Audio CD: “The Art of Deal Structuring”
  • Audio CD: Interview with Bob Johnson
  • Complete Forms on CD ROM
  • Forms Videos: Step-by-step walking through how to fill out wholesaling forms on forms disk.
  • Special Report: “Guide to Setting Up Your Office”
  • Special Report: “Steve Cook’s Guide to Goal Setting and Action Planning
  •  

    The introduction talks a little about Steve’s background in the restaurant business.  Right off the bat, we also learn something else.  Everybody is human, and human’s make mistakes.  Steve made his share and manged to jump right back onto the wagon.

    Ethics and Morals

    Well, we start off with some Ethics and Morals.  I know…sounds a little hub-drub, and it probably is.  But you know, after being in the game this long…I realize that everyone starts out looking to make a buck or two, but you ultimately need to be able to do it without selling out your soul.  That’s where many fail.  Steve nips it in the bud right here.

    Advantages/Disadvantages for Wholesaling

    One advantage that is obviously discussed:  how fast you can make some money.  He also discusses the evolution of being simply a wholesaler, to an investor.

    How to Get Started:

    Steve mentions right off the bat a Bible verse: Proverbs 14:23.  All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. 

    I can’t tell you how often that has been the case in my life.  Don’t talk.  Just do it. 

    Steve discusses whether you may want to start out as a Birddogger instead of a wholesaler first (he did !).  Then he moves into analyzing neighborhoods.   Frankly people, this is where I find many investors getting it wrong.  I’m telling you, a lot of hoods look like great cashflow generating commodities, and then you realize…whoops…I was wrong a couple months or years down the road.  Even to this day, if I’m buying a property to use a  rental property, it is still going to be at least a zone 3/4 property.  (Don’t know what this is ?  Get the course.)

    Building Your Team and Working With Agents

    Steve tells you who you need to have on your team, how to get them, and how to work with them for maximum profitability. 

    Private Lenders

    Steve talks both about Hard Money Lender’s and why they can be the wholesaler’s best friend.  (You need them in your corner to cash out your buyers).  He tells you step by step how to do this.

    Settlement Companies/Attorneys

    - Not all attorneys are created equal

    - Expecting service-what happens

    - Pricing

    Ahhh…then we start getting into the nitty gritty (if that wasn’t enough).

    Repair Costs/Estimating

    Let me see, if Steve saves you a fraction of your repair costs, it will be worth the cost of this course. 

    Reminds me: I don’t have my financial calculator with me, but I can attribute over $50,000 of net profits to this one course.  ROI…??  Don’t know…but it sure beats stocks!

    I hope you enjoyed this review.

    The course is thorough, complete, and has made many people in this country a handsome return.  I’ll have my review on steve’s rehabbing course done next week.  (It’s my personal favorite :)

    Miller Street still under contract…

    Update on my Miller Street Home Flip…well, it’s still under contract.  I know..taking a long time and I’m not having a good feeling these people are going to get funded.   I am going to start marketing to get some back up offers on it and go from there.

    I’m supposed to know for sure by next Wed..let’s hope!

    Best Foreclosure List Service ?

    None.

    Learn how to build your own list by learning how to research this information on your own.  It’s not hard and most counties are online now these days.  You really need to learn how to research your own titles to properties.  Why ? Because then you get to be first for your deals.  You can cherry pick what you want to go after. 

    You know in your heart, that the true sweet deals, have probably been “removed” from that list anyway.

    Matter of fact, what I do is pay somebody how to do it online.  I learned how to do it on my own.  Then, I taught them, and they do it now for me.  No, they don’t know really what that person is, or how to work the deal.  But I do.

    I’ll try to put together a little guidebook/video product explaining how to research titles to properties over the next week.

     

    Happy Investing!

    Brandon

    Ahhh…Finally.  Another marathon weekend of putting things together…but I have the finding vacant homeowners guidebook wrapped up with a new payment processor, affiliate company, etc. Yadda…yadda yadda.

     

    Anyway, if you want to check it out, click the link below:

    Finding Vacant Homeowners

     

    More on this soon, but I wanted to at least get the product up and running.

    Brandon

    Watch for a new guidebook to be available tomorrow.  Making some updates to it.  Will also be adding the nonperforming notes and researching titles products within the week to the My Products page.

    But, before you run off and buy it…I suggest holding.  Once I have the NPN and Title Search products available…I’m going to make a bundle available for all of them as well, at a discount.

    Yep.  I’ve been busy, but it’s all to provide tools for your real estate investing toolbelt.  I’ll be back to making more videos soon also.

    Speaking of videos:  I made a new one for the buyownwerfinancedhomes.com site on the intro page.  The other one with the webcam…Yuck.  I never realized how bad it was until I received the new flip camcorder.  More on that in a day or so also.

     

    Take care,

    Brandon

    With the recent popularity of a lot of the “paper” and “cashflow” infomercials these days…it’s easy to run into many people who are in the “note” business.  I’ll have more on this later, but I need to run…so briefly:

    They do not know:

    1) Owner Financed Homes deal structures: how do these notes originate, how do they find them, etc.

    2) They are actually chasing the wrong types of notes.  Don’t go after the performing notes, go out and start buying notes from banks.  (Link to their FREE Resources below)

    Here is a Video where I talk a about my recent discovery:

    Free Buying Notes Resources

    It rocked.  It was awesome having so much feedback from all of you and to discuss where we are at in the real estate investing market here in SW PA.

    FYI…For anybody interested in Pennsylvania Real Estate Investing…I’ll be adding links/sharing info, etc under the PA REI tab in the future.  Feel free to check back and see if there have been updates, or better yet….subscribe to the RSS feed at the top right of the page and receive autoamted updates when items change on this blog.  Or…subscribe via email and I’ll do my best to keep you up to speed on occurences.

    Anyway…WIG meeting was great last night.  Thanks to everyone who attended.

    Trying to put things into words is sometime tough, so I decided to create a short video to explain it a little better.

    Please watch the video below:

    Just received my new flip camcorder from ebay last night.  So, stay tuned for many more videos coming soon.  We are going to pump up your investing education.
