Yale graduate, NFL Veteran, A&E TV network host of “Flip this House” and superstar real estate entrepreneur Than Merrill is adding “REI Spy” to his impressive resume in his “Mission Impossible” video series. All the intrigue is leading up to an exciting launch we’ll talk more about next week.

The Spy Who Loved REI
All you have to do to make your real estate business Mission Possible in 2009 is grab some popcorn and sign in with Than. Beyond the spoofs and goofs for the camera in the intro videos for this series is some awesome, pitch-free content.

In the first video, Than and his real estate investment business partner Paul (who you also may recognize from their hit TV show) delve into the nuts and bolts of investing in probate properties for wholesale. Their innovative approach to tapping probate markets blew me away.

This training is incredibly comprehensive and robust. Because Than’s training is geared for wholesalers, he’s sharing a fresh perspective that puts an entirely new spin on probate real estate investing as we know it.

Got Leads?
In the second video, Than guides us through a simple 15-minute process using Google’s local business listings to pull the trigger on rapid, high-volume REI lead generation online.

In this video, Than clearly demonstrates that if you use some common sense, it won’t cost you any vital organs — or your life’s savings to start scoring leads and raise your real estate investing business profile online.
