Five Hot Tips — and More — Prepare you for Short Sale Success in Today’s Markets
This week’s debut of the “Short Sale Success Blueprint“ Is just the beginning of an incredible few weeks of great free information and techniques we’ll no doubt learn much more about this month from Ohio-based Strategic Real Estate Coaches Josh Cantwell and Greg Clement.
These guys see green pastures ahead for pre-foreclosure and short sale investors who are keen on how to cash in on recent market changes and for the rest of the month, they’re offering investors a steady streem of absolutely free, freshly updated information, tools and resource you need to adapt to changing market conditions in the distressed property arena.
Timing Isn’t Everything
Ten million homes currently are over-leveraged with mortgage debt and have no equity, Josh says: If we can take advantage of these opportunities as real estate agents or investors, we can capitalize on these market conditions — big time.
Update Your Strategies to Stay on Top of Your Markets
Five years ago, Josh Cantwell found himself spending too much money on marketing. That was necessary he says, back when markets were hot. Mixing in other techniques is getting him better results for his money these days, he says.
It’s clearly no secret that property values have dropped significantly in the past two years. Today’s market conditions for short sale and pre-foreclosures are dramatically different than they were five years ago, Josh says, and changing times call for different strategies.
Refine and Define your Strategies
In his Short Sale Success Blueprint Josh answers the question: “How can you position yourself to fill your property acquisitions pipeline with an unlimited number of pre-foreclosure leads using little or none of your own cash or credit?”
Josh breaks it all down into small, manageable tasks that emphasizes networking and building your skills. Central to his blueprint are five key techniques that, when implemented properly, will strengthen your professional support system and build your business.
Five Hot Tips From Your Blueprint for Short Sale Success
Josh says the five techniques listed below are effective in virtually every market, regardless of the investor’s skill level. These are all either totally free or are really inexpensive to implement. These are the major strategies Josh uses in his business.
- Start Apprentice Groups: The best way to learn anything is to turn around and teach it so someone else. Creating your own group of apprentices is a great way to maximize your knowledge — and your resources.
- Build Real Estate Agent Referral Network: There are a ton of agents out there right know who know absolutely nothing about short sales, Josh says. If you partner up with them using his proven techniques and strategies, you, the agents and the homeowners all win. Keep in mind that the agents get no extra compensation for negotiating short sales, he adds. By providing them with a co-operative service, you’re expanding your realm of influence and finding deals other investors can’t touch.
- Give Away Free Info: Become the go-to person in your market, Josh says. Attract attention to your business and raise your profile by giving away free info that actually contains useful content that’ll make people remember you. This simple approach raises your profile and lends credibility to your business.
- Get Mortgage Broker Referrals: Brokers have taken huge hits in declining markets and are opening up to help with boosting whatever business they have left. Most homeowners in pre-foreclosure go to brokers first hoping to refinance and save their homes. Building relationships with brokers now more than ever will give you an edge in this arena.
- Send Targeted Postcards: Use them in targeted areas and to define the sweet spot in your market.
Josh tailored the strategies and techniques in the “Short Sale Success Blueprint” and his book “Short Sale Manifesto 2.0″ to fit to meet the needs of investors tapping today’s short sale and pre-foreclosure markets.
Short Sale Manifesto 2.0
Josh released the first edition of “Short Sale Manifesto” about a year and a half ago. He needed to update it, he says, because even in the relatively small amount of time, that has elapsed since it was first written, the pre-foreclosure and short sale markets have changed dramatically.
Why the Update?
Josh updated several elements of his “Short Sale Manifesto” to reflect what real estate investors need to succeed in today’s challenging and increasingly more competitive pre-foreclosure and short sale markets.
Josh updated this book because he is serious about helping his students to deploy only the most cutting-edge strategies and techniques in tapping these markets and the “Short Sale Manifesto 2.0″ leaves no stone unturned in its 500 pages. Its release dated is slated for the end of the month. Stay tuned to this blog for more information on this important release and to learn how you can get your free copy.
