Free Virtual REI Thanksgiving Feast Tonight & Thursday: This  Call Is So Great, We’re Dishing it Up for You Twice! Join us Tonight at 9:00 p.m. EST or Catch our Replay Thursday at 1:00 p.m. EST!

Is it Time to Update Your Recipe for REI Success?
As turbulent housing markets continue to evolve, so must your strategies and tools. If you want your business to thrive, especially in a challenging economy, you must set your priorities and focus on what’s working in today’s markets.

Most of the strategies and tools out there now simply aren’t geared to cash in on current market changes. Right now, it doesn’t matter how good a deal you have, it’s impossible to monetize your opportunities without a strong list and the right tools that are calibrated to give you an edge in meeting current market demands.

You need a list that conquers the market’s shifting variables and a strategy to generate the leads you need to get your best deals on the table. To do this, you need a better recipe for REI success.

That’s why I’ve lined up this Free call with Virtual Wholesaling Pioneer Cris Chico. Listen in and you’ll learn why last year’s hottest strategies and tools no longer work to generate massive profits in real estate & find out what’s really working, RIGHT NOW!

Uncover Strategies and Tools So Good, They Melt in Your Mouth!
Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve got in store for you Tonight at 9:00 pm EST and Thursday at 1:00 p.m. EST:

What Is Virtual Wholesaling?
Wholesaling, in a nutshell, is placing a property under contract and then assigning the deal to another buyer who will close on the property in your place. There is little risk using this technique, since investors usually never put any money down or close on the property.

Virtual Wholesaling takes this practice to the next level by leveraging technology. “This method allows investors to generate huge checks with little effort,” Chris says. During the call, we’ll also cover:

How You Can Bring a Bounty of Gourmet Deals to your Table
We’ll tell you what happens when you combine the magic of Virtual Wholesaling with SalesTeamLive’s Done-for-You Marketing campaigns. It’s better than magic, because you’re in complete control without the burden of having to do the work yourself.

• Find Eager, Active Wholesale Buyers: We’ll be talking about what you need to succeed and grow your business in any market conditions. By getting the active buyers you need to meet your tightest deadlines and keep your pipeline flowing, you’ll surge to the head of the pack.You’ll also learn the mission-critical role technology plays in pulling this off at reduced costs, blazing speed, perfect timing and surgical precision.
• Attract High-Equity, Absentee Sellers in Markets Primed for Profits: You’ll earn how you can laser-target properties in zip code areas with massive profit potential. What you get is a bounty of eager absentee owners with maximum equity on properties with deferred maintenance issues.

Don’t miss this opportunity to savor the best strategies in tools that are working in today’s markets.

Course of action that is, when it comes to stuffing your competition and bringing the big bird home to your family’s table.

We’ll kick it off Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 9:00 p.m. EST and post a replay on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 1:00 p.m. EST. We’ll also dish out out some seasonal and tasty free treats to everyone who signs up!

The trend heading into the holidays seems to be one of growing unemployment and a rising tide of homeowners drowning in mortgage debt.

An Ironic wist on a Familiar Story
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ October report finds that unemployment last month soared to a 14-year high of 6.5 percent, as 240,000 jobs were slashed. Yet the Orange County Register’s Mortgage Insider, Matthew Padilla has made an interesting observation. He sifted through the data to report that in September,  352,200 workers were making a living in the mortgage business — that’s up from 349,300 in August.

Negative Equity Plagues Homeowners
But the recent real estate statistics that really capture the real estate investor’s eye come from  First American CoreLogic: 2.1 million mortgages are within 5 percentage points of being in a negative-equity position and 7.5 million mortgaged properties are carrying more mortgage debt than they’re worth. That means that nearly 20 percent of properties with mortgages have plunged into the powerful waves the economic undertow.

Rising Percentage of Underwater Mortgages in the States
See how the mortgages currently in negative equity break down among the states listed below (Note: percentages have been rounded off and the states are listed in descending order starting with the highest reported rate of negative equity.):

1. Nevada: 48%

3. Arizona: 29%

5. California:  27%
6. Georgia: 23%

I just read a brilliant article in Forbes. I say that of course, because it echoes what I’ve been saying about investing in real estate, but also because of the insightful comments that reporter Stephane Fitch gathered from some of the richest and most talented men to ever make their fortunes in this business.

Don’t Just Take it From Me!
The consensus is almost deafening. This is the time to invest in real estate, there’s no doubt about that. But there are three questions that you must be able to answer before choosing your strategy and plunging into the icy waters of today’s real estate markets, I want you to keep these in mind as you read this post:

• What to buy?
• Where to buy?
• What strategies are working best in today’s markets?

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the article. I encourage you to check it out for yourself. It’s one of the best mainstream media accounts of the current state of real estate I’ve seen since Lehman Brothers executives had expense accounts.

Investors Need Expert Strategies
Spencer Rascoff, Zillow.com: “Yes I do think this is a great time to be buying residential real estate, with two caveats. First, you need financing, which is much more difficult than in the past. Second, you need to be smart about it. The good old days when anyone could make millions flipping homes in their spare time are over…. Back then, it was a good time for anyone to buy. In 2008-2009, it’s only a good time for sophisticated real estate investors. The market is too turbulent for novices to succeed as real estate investors right now.”

Metro Market Fire Sale Burns into the Future
Michael Feder, Radar Logic: From the height of the bubble our data indicate that prices per square foot have declined between 5 percent and 45 percent in the 25 MSA’s we track. As our data have shown, the housing markets are being affected by various forces in different ways in different regions. In California, Nevada and Florida, increased foreclosures and the presumably resulting motivated prices are putting considerable pressure on markets.

Know a Great Deal when You See It
Donald Trump Jr.:  “Some of the biggest mistakes made over the past few years were because individuals looked at a market as a whole: i.e., ‘is now a good time to buy?’ The whole country’s real estate market is up, ergo all real estate must be a good buy–real estate never goes down, right? People looked at it too generally and forgot about the underlying asset: the real bricks and mortar. That is the way to look at real estate.

“For me I go with real estate all the time. I am not satisfied with 12 percent historic returns, especially when I look at my long-term portfolio these days. Besides, I play with real estate every day, so I am more comfortable knowing the asset I am buying is a good bet, regardless of the world around me, and I have access to or know how to find the most favorable borrowing options, etc. … I just do not have the same comfort level in the stock market, so I would always recommend to someone to stick with what they know.

“Also, it totally depends on the deal. There are deals out there now. There will definitely be a lot more coming in the near future, but people have to come to terms with the fact that the “equity” that they think they have in their homes is not even close to reality. Buyers know this and are waiting; when that gap narrows deals will be made. In many instances it may take a while because people may still feel they can carry their unit and wait for a better market. For many of them it will be a long wait, and they will eventually have to stop the hemorrhage of cash flow. That is especially when you will see deals of more commercial assets, but the underlying principals will hold true for [residential] as well.”

In Search of … The Ultimate Strategy
If you want to see the real estate truth behind the wizard’s curtain, I urge you to check out Richard Roop and Dan Doran’s Ultimate Strategy. Not only do the dynamic duo address and clarify all the most pressing questions you might have about how to approach the best deals today, their approach delivers only the highest equity deals that are guaranteed to maximize your real estate return on investment (ROI) because they target free and clear properties, or those that carry no mortgage burden.

Did you know that you can easily get great properties  for below .50 cents on the dollar in any market conditions? With probate investing, the sky — and your imagination– are the only limitations to unleashing your true  potential to build massive profits in your real estate business.

Probate Investing Gives You Multiple Options & Exits from Your Deals

Simply put, probate is the legal process of liquidating an estate’s assets after debts and creditors have been satisfied. With probate property investing, you’re easily getting properties for $.50 - $.60 on the dollar. And there are many viable options for maximizing your profits in the transactions that follow. With probate properties, you can flip, do lease options or rent your investment property to secure your cash flow until the inevitable market correction ups the prices — and profits for your business.

The Trick is Getting a Great Probate Property List & Getting the Work Done-for-You

One of the things we’ve found at SalesTeamLive, and that I’ve heard again and again on the real estate investing circuit, is that Probate Investing is one of the hottest strategies out there, and one that is especially well-suited  for finding a path to profits in down markets. We’ve found that about 60 percent of all of the houses that are in probate have lots of equity in them.  And when it comes to tapping those markets, we’ve got you covered.

Since there is no national data provider for probate investing lists, I decided to create one for members of SalesTeamLive to use in their Done-for-You marketing campaigns. The response has been tremendous, especially in recent weeks. (For more information about this awesome way to make your probate deals happen without study or work, visit SalesTeamLive’s Probate Campaign page.)

Probate’s Nuts & Bolts: Meet the Guy Who Wrote the Book

If you want to take the time to study up on this real estate investment strategy that’s rock-solid and steadier than a world-class surgeon’s hand, you should also look to legendary straight-shooting probate investing legend Ron Mead. He has all the training you need to get started for less than it costs to check a  bag and have a beer and some peanuts when you fly the not so friendly skies.

Ron’s book on probate property investing, “31 Days to Profits in Probate Real Estate,” conveys his wealth of experience and knowledge in concise, plain English. Ron will be the first to tell you that he’s no professional author, but his experience with the U.S. military, where “there is a manual for everything,” Ron says, prompted him to write some manuals of his own.

Ron is no stranger to the world of real estate investing. He has been an active real estate investor and entrepreneur for 29 years, and has specialized in probate for more than a decade. Ron got his real estate license in 1979, and became a licensed real estate broker in 1993.

Building on his degree in Business Finance and his reputation as a no-nonsense, wealth-building real estate investor and teacher, Ron has written books on personal finance, probate property investing and creative real estate financing. He’s also gotten considerable buzz in the industry through the real estate investing seminars he’s been conducting for the past decade. He’s accomplished all this, in addition to actively running his own probate property investment business.

Implementing Ron’s techniques may require a bit of up-front time to ramp-up, but when the deals start to hit, your momentum and lack of competition likely will leave you wondering why you didn’t try it sooner. As Ron says, ”There’s just enough work involved here to weed out the tire kickers.” By putting in the effort, Ron assures that you’ll be “handsomely rewarded.” And isn’t that what this business is all about?

Folks, I’ve spent more than $100,000 on real estate training in the course of my career, and I’ve got to tell you that Ron’s entrepreneurial epic “31 Days to Profits in Probate Real Estate,” is better than many of the systems I’ve paid for, and available at a tiny fraction of the price.

Check out my review of Ron’s book in the Resources section of GaryBoomershine.com, and Enjoy!
