Questions Answered: The $60,000 Real Estate Training
There is an old saying in computer programming circles and maybe you've heard it before:
"Garbage in, Garbage out."
If your computer program was crap, the data results were crap. Simple as that. But this concept applies to MANY areas of life, business and relationships.
And it specifically applies to YOUR real estate business in the form of your buyer and seller leads. Because in this business, nothing happens til someone buys something.
If you have garbage seller leads, you don't get a deal under contract. If you have garbage buyer leads, you can have the best deal in your city but not get it sold. Again, nothing happens til someone buys something.
So how do find the best short sale leads and the most willing & able buyers? Well, there are 2 ways I know of:
1. You cross your fingers or pray or just get flat out lucky. I tried that for 3 years and it didn't work out so well for me
or …
2. You let technology do all the sifting and sorting for you. That's what I do and the results are a LOT more predictable than crossing your fingers or praying for great leads.
Now, after a very long absence, the friend who taught me how to leverage technology in my business is going to train YOU and me this Thursday (May 7). If you are interested in hearing ways to simplify your marketing efforts and really just get the best leads coming your way, you should register for your training here: http://www.CallWithEasyHUD.com
He is one of the smartest cats I know when it comes to marketing for deals, so I am particularly interested in what he has to say on Thursday.
The call will be at 9:00pm EST/6:00pm Pacific And I'll guarantee you're gonna learn stuff you won't hear anywhere else!

Greetings from Sunny South FLA!
So last night I went to dinner in South Beach with a few of my entrepreneur friends (one of which has a movie coming out soon – it is like "The Secret" for Entrepreneurs. I’ll send you details when it is finally released). And for the record, the sentiment around the table was that we are all starting to feel like the economic situation isn’t effecting our different industries like the media wants you to believe. Don’t buy into the hype and keep plugging along … the results you want are right around the corner!
But what I want to talk to you about today is the "REO Rockstar of America":
Today is definitely a beach day, but before I headed out I wanted to send you a link to a video that will definitely make you scratch your head. And NO, this video doesn’t "pitch" anything …
A lot of you may have heard of my friend Preston (aka the Queen of Wholesaling … errr, i mean the "King" of Wholesaling. Sorry Preston, I had to bust your chops!). This guy came out of nowhere about a year ago and has left a trail of successful new investors in his wake.
Anyway, he has to be the most creative marketer and investor in the real estate space and he has made it his goal to keep real estate investing light hearted and FUN for all of us who may find ourselves caught up in the daily grind that can be a part of being in business.
If you aren’t familiar with this guy, this short video will give you a pretty good idea of why I consider him one of my favorite "gurus": www.EasyHUDTV.com
So turn the volume up on your computer and prepare to have your sense assaulted by the REO Rockstar of America

I have a confession:
In addition to my real estate investing endeavors, i have been making a nice living from the internet as well.
I have had EasyHUD for over 7 years now and i must say, it has helped out immensely when my real estate business was having a slow month. You probably didn't know this, but I was living in New Orleans when Katrina hit, and my real estate investing business evaporated OVERNIGHT.
Literally, one day i was kickin butt in real estate, and the very next day all my leads were under water and my investor buyers were scattered to the wind and in NO mood to buy real estate that was underwater.
Truthfully, without the income i generated from EasyHUD i would have been in an absolutely horrible position. Ever since then, i have made sure that i kept my fingers in both pies – real estate and the internet.
And that's the reason i'm sharing something with you today is because YOU should seriously consider doing something with the internet to supplement your Real Estate Investing income.
So here's the deal:
A good friend of mine named Perry has been making a killing with the internet for many years and over the past year he figured out a way to "partner" with Google.
Yes, PARTNER with GOOGLE.
How'd it work out for him? Well, In the first 9 months of him figuring this out he's made just over $1.2 Million.
Here's the proof:
https://touchstone.infusionsoft.com/go/gmfg/drdaigle/
Like i said, I know this guy personally, so I vouch that his numbers are legit. He picks up the tab at dinner, drives sexy cars and has a wonderful house in Austin (you'll see some of it in the video). This stuff is working out very well for him.
So if you are just getting started in real estate investing or you are an "old school" pro, i think it is prudent for you to be aware that there are some serious options for you to position yourself like i have – one finger in the real estate pie and one finger in the internet pie … and the way perry has partnered with google is the easiest way for an internet rookie to get something going.
his training is seriously good stuff and it's only 27 bucks. I've invested MUCH more in internet marketing products that didn't have even a fraction of what he teaches, so i'm readily recommending it to the entire EasyHUD community

RE: Outsourcing the Short Sale process
Greetings from Sunny South FLA
I have gotten more feedback on "Virtual" Short Sale Investing than I have ever gotten from anything else I have ever shared with the EasyHUD community.
Why?
Because even the more experienced investors are telling me it is getting harder and harder to do deals, even with the growing number of foreclosures out there.
The issue is that there is soooo much work involved with getting a short sale completed and closed that it is like
running in mud … but the "Virtual" model is all about outsourcing almost 100% of the "dirty work".
Because we filled up all the lines from the training we did last night we are doing ONE more presentation … an encore if you will.
Whether you are only considering short sales or have been doing short sales for years, this model is probably the
smartest way I have seen them done.
Get the dial in number (go to the link below), invest an hour or so with us on the phone, and decide for yourself.
Here’s the dial in info:

Here’s a quick highlight of what we will cover TONIGHT:
-How to have the creator of the "Virtual" Short Sale system partner with you, negotiate your short sales for you and Fund 100% of your deals for you
-Exactly how the Virtual Short Sale Investing Machine buys, negotiates and sells 100% of your deals for you (without ever leaving the nice comfy chair you’re sitting in)
-How to Make more on ONE deal per month than you are making now on several deals combined
-How to avoid the need for cash, financing, or tons of experience

Greetings from sunny south FLA!
There are sooooo many short sales opportunities on the market nowadays … it is like a fire hydrant. Almost TOO many deals if you ask me.
Until recently, this business involved a LOT of grunt work and manual involvement. But now there is a cat out there named “DC” who has taken this business to a new level – he’s taken it VIRTUAL ?
if this doesn’t interest you, let me say it again:
This guy has made short sales a VIRTUAL process!
and here’s a video of him showing you how:

Cris Chico and the crew over at Virtual Wholesaling spilled their secrets and named names on how to find good real estate markets. The list of names is long, but the secret is simple: research.
The depth of research can make all the difference on whether you make it or break it in real estate, and it’s not as simple as looking over a house and thinking it’s pretty. If you’ve got a market you’re looking at, do the research:
Check with mortgage lenders. If a mortgage lender says, "We wouldn’t give a 100% loan," you might want to think twice.
One of the mortgage lenders that Virtual Wholesaling suggests to their trainees is Countrywide. Countrywide is the largest mortgage lender in the nation, with several statistics on which way the markets are going. If they refuse to give a 100% loan in a specific market, you can bet that, unless there’s something the pros don’t know (a shopping mall being built nearby, for example), it’s not the best market to invest in.
Check with mortgage insurers. Again, private mortgage insurers make it their business to know the market trends, and if they say they wouldn’t invest or insure, you might want to rethink the possibilities.
What lender and insurer does Virtual Wholesaling suggest? The two major ones are MGIC, the Mortgage Guarantee Insurance Corporation, who insures things for over 5,000 lenders, and PMI Group, the Private Mortgage Insurance Group, who is the second largest US based mortgage insurer.
Specifically, however, they suggest looking at the MGIC Restricted Market Guide. MGIC will tell you where they won’t loan in a restrictive market, or if they’ll insure the mortgage in that area. Then, you’ll have to make your own decisions based on whether something falls on the restricted list again or if you know something special about the area.
Another guide under MGIC is called the soft and weak market index. MGIC has a guide for several large metropolitan areas that show you what the housing prices are doing in a particular area. If you’re going to invest in particular market, make sure the trend over the last 12 to 18 months is flat, slightly increasing or slightly falling. If it rises or falls by more than 5% in 12 months, it adds volatility to the mix, making it an unsteady market.
Whatever market you choose, don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t work out. Learn from your experiences, move to another market, and apply what you’ve learned!
5 Ways to Build a Buyers List
by Cris Chico, VirtualWholesaling.com
Building a buyers list is not about finding buyers for a property you already have – it is about preparing a comprehensive list of prospective buyers for properties you may have to deal, either now or in the future.
So to find a buyers list, you will want to use many different methods of locating interested parties and many of them, so you can get started creating a comprehensive database of investors that you can market current and future properties to.
There are a number of various tips and tricks you can use to find buyers via classified ads. Sometimes buyers let themselves be known. Others are currently selling properties but have various tells that imply they are also prospective buyers (a simple phone call will let you know if your hunch is correct). Classified ads are a good way to find buyers in almost any area across the country and beyond.
Potential investors are always interested in the next property. Post an advertisement on various classified advertisement websites, craigslist, and any other space that can be noticed by that potential market and you are very likely to find respondents interested in what you have to offer them.
There are real estate groups that are prime locations to spot potential buyers. If you can get hold of a member list, you can contact them each individually or try to arrange a get together in order to gain rapport and peak their interest.
One very effective way of locating possible buyers is to find information on investors who have purchased a home yet keep it vacant and send them letters and postcards in the mail explaining what you have to offer and enticing them to listen to a more in depth sales pitch in the future.
Finally, another method of finding prospective buyers is to create your own website and find ways to bring buyers to your site. You can have a forum for discussing the latest real estate information, or you can advertise properties you already have (with the intention of finding people interested in future properties). Or you can simply advertise yourself, what you have to offer and what partnering with you will bring them in the future. A personal website is not always the easiest way to find buyers, but it can be just as effective as any other method when marketed correctly.
The more buyers you can find, the more likely you will succeed in the industry. As such, use whatever methods available to ensure that your buyers list is long and extensive.
Greetings from Virtual Wholesaling HQ!
I am sitting in Chico’s office in Ft Lauderdale
finalizing the details for the next Virtual Investing
Seminar which starts THIS Thursday in New Orleans and
I noticed that we STILL have people registering to
attend VIS3 and it got me to thinking …
There are definitely some investors out there who
have the freedom of time and freedom of location to
say "What the hell, I’m gonna go for it!" and join
us for a life (and business) changing experience that
we like to call Virtual Investing Seminar.
So if you are a decision maker, here is your LAST
chance to join us as we walk you, step-by-step, through
every single thing you need to have your Virtual
Wholesaling business up & running and have pre-screened
motivated sellers calling you to buy their properties.
Need buyers? While at the event you will put in place
everything you need to do to automatically build your
buyers list of folks who are buying in TODAY’S market.
I could go into exhaustive detail, but by now you have
probably gotten emails from me about what we are doing
in New Orleans. Maybe you have even listened in on a
webinar or 2 where we taught you exactly why this
investing methodlogy is so successful. Maybe you have
even become a member of VirtualWholesaling.com.
Regardless, if you want to get involved the time to
make a decision is NOW. And to make the decision easy
for you we are going to let you attend for the same
price that we have offered our best clients – $495.
Keep in mind that this price won’t include all the
bonuses that came with the higher priced tuition,
but at least this way you get a chance to see what
this is all about and how it can improve your business,
quality of life, and bank account. But you must HURRY
because the event starts on Thursday!
Ready to pack your bags and join us in New Orleans?

own a business rather than have your business own YOU!
All I can say is that the webinar we did on Tuesday night
opened a can of worms. If you missed the webinar, don’t
fret because we are going to re-do it on Tuesday, May 27
at 900pm (but this time it’ll be much shorter: 30min max)
If you want to see what you missed (a rant from Cris Chico
on the one thing seperating successful Real Estate
Investors form UNsuccessful ones) you can register here:

Now, here are the answers to the most common questions
we were asked after the webinar:
Q: I am already a member of VirtualWholesaling.com. The problem I am having is getting through it and understanding it well enough to implement. At the Virtual Investing Seminar will I be taken through the program in a step by step fashion so by Sunday it will be clear and I can get going?
A: Yes, Thurs-Sat will focus solely on walking you through the exact steps necessary to have your entire Virtual Wholesaling business up and functional in as little as 30 days
***********************
Q: Will Cris Chico be doing all of the teaching? If not, how much time will he spend teaching?
A: Chico will be doing 80% of the teaching. The other 20% will be taught by our coaching staff and 1 or 2 other experts.
***********************
Q: If there will be others, who else is presenting and will they be selling their products?
A: there are only 2 people selling anything during the main event:
Gary Boomershine, from SalesTeamLive.com. They are are our recommended resource for managing all of your marketing for your VW business. Although Gary’s software is by no means necessary to be successful we find it is a very helpful tool for those investors who want to further automate their marketing.
Dan Stojadinovich will be teaching the elements necessary for an effective Virtual Wholesaling website. We have worked closely with Dan to craft websites that have every element we require to complement our investing methodology.
**********************
Q: Are there other products Cris will be offering and if so, how much time will be spent on this?
A: We will be discussing our implementation assistance program, the Rapid Success Program (RSP). We discuss this over lunch which is optional.
**********************
Q: I understand that SUnday is a "bonus day". To help me plan if I should stay for Sunday, please tell me who is on teh agenda.
A: Andy Proper from RoboticBirdDogs.com will discuss how he has virtualized the hiring and training of his bird dog "army"
Colin Egbert and Sam Bell will share additional ways to use Web 2.0 and Social Networking to generate leads and sell properties
We have 2 slots open in Sunday but we aren’t sure who will fill them
***********************
Q: I have been to other seminars and was disappointed to discover that just as much time is spent on selling as they do on providing content. This will be an expensive weekend, including air fare, hotel, and reg and I want to eliminate any surprises.
A: This is NOT a "pitch fest". It is focused on walking you through a step-by-step implementation with the end result being that you have an exact gameplan on getting our Virtual Wholesaling students up and running. The event is built around our implementation methodology that has been successfully used to get clients fully implemented in 30 days.
************************
The event is 35 days away and we will hit our capacity well in advance, so if you have any questions that need to be answered in order for you to decide if you have what it takes to join us, please go to www.AskaVirtualInvestor.com and submit them ASAP.
Otherwise, have an awesome weekend and we will talk to you again on Tuesday night!
