At Reach Returns, we get a lot of real estate investing questions.  Most of the questions these days can be put into two distinct categories…DEFENSE AND OFFENSE!

The defensive questions go like this:

• What are the tax implications of this potential purchase?
• What things should I look for when buying a single family home or a multiplex?
• How do I avoid making a mistake buying real estate?
• How do I protect myself when writing an offer?
• What should I consider when taking on a partner?
• How do I work effectively with real estate agents and people lending money?
• I am considering buying raw land or out of state property.  What should I watch out for?
• How will my offer fly in the face of attorney review?  What should my exit strategies be?

The Offensive questions go more along these lines:

• Can I assign a deal in this market place?
• How do I buy and flip now, or should I only buy and hold?
• Where do I get the money to do deals?
• How does substitution of security work and how do I negotiate it?
• How do I write up a deal and sell it on a wrap note?
• How do I negotiate an option on a property that makes sense?
• Should I work with banks negotiating short sales?  How?
• Is this a good time to buy notes?  Should I become a lender myself?
• How do I share the equity I have in a property with multiple people?
• I want to buy a home, but the seller wants to live there until they die.  How   do we structure this?

Wednesday, August 10th at 6:00 pm PST we will have a LOCKER ROOM TALK ABOUT DEFENSE AND OFFENSE IN THIS ECONOMY.

A SPECIAL OFFER WILL BE MADE THAT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS.

Did you know you can do “owner finance’ deals without using any of
your own money whatsoever?

And with these deals, you keep 100% of the down payment money you
receive from your retail buyer.  (Which is usually 10% or more of
the home’s value.)

And retail buyers for owner financed homes are everywhere and VERY
easy to find… because most people can’t buy a home with traditional
financing today, even if they have a nice down payment and good
credit.

Selling houses with owner financing is one of the safest and
easiest investing strategies you can do today.  To get them done
does NOT require one dollar of your money!

On both calls I hosted last week with my buddy Phill, this was one of
the 12 strategies he taught. (Find out about the other 11 here <=== )

Owner financing deals work great for sellers, too!

Especially sellers who have little or no equity in their house, and
are having trouble selling it.  When you practice this “owner
financing” strategy, you’re able to offer these sellers a much
better deal than what they can get by listing their house with a
Realtor.  Sellers love it!

And back to the retail buyers — who are having a difficult time
getting conventional financing… you’re able to offer them a much
better deal than a bank or mortgage broker.

Finding buyers and sellers for owner financing deals is S U P E R –
E A S Y.  First, they are everywhere… and second, it’s as easy as
placing a free ad on Craig’s List.

To learn more about how you can start profiting on owner finance
deals in your area, you can watch the replay of the webinar I did
with him last week here ===> click to watch the replay

Here’s what else you will learn on this video:

(Note:  The 12 strategies you will learn will be taught by my new
partner, Phill.)

1.    Many more details about his 12 specific and unique ways to do
ANY deal… in ANY situation… in ANY market so you never miss an
opportunity to profit.  Most investors rely on one or two main
investing methods and are forced to pass up prime deals that don’t
fit their mold.  You’ll discover 12 strategies covering EVERY DEAL
that comes your way.  Phill even shows you case studies of his
strategies.  (Keep in mind, these are the 12 strategies Phill uses
to get paid on a deal every 39½ hours on average.)  Be prepared to
take lots of notes on this call, because Phill is going to cover a
LOT of information!

2.    How Phill makes ALL his offers by phone… and how you can too!
He’ll tell you about his “magic” pre-screening tool that calculates
exactly what you should offer on a property right over the phone…
in just 10 minutes flat! You’ll hear about his proprietary methods
that pull all the information you need to ever know about a seller
and the property — that even builds stronger rapport with the
sellers and makes you look like an expert.  It took Phill 5 years
to perfect this phone script that he will share with you on the
call.

3.    The single most important factor for success in real estate
investing — marketing.  Phil has perfected a “marketing machine”
that consists of 30… count ‘em — 30 ways for you to find deals!
Half of these 30 techniques can be implemented immediately at no
cost whatsoever.  Others do cost some money to get going, but they
pay off very well!  Overall, Phill earns $4 for every $1 he spends
on marketing.  (If you knew you’d earn $4 for every $1 you invested
in marketing, how many dollars would you invest and how fast would
you do it??  Phill will cover this in detail on the call.)

4.    How to automate and process all the leads you will get… and
QUICKLY turn them into deals!

5.    How you can make $5,000 to $60,000 or more on each of the 12
strategies he teaches.

6.    How to know which of Phill’s 12 strategies works best for your
deal, and in your market.  He’ll show you his simple, easy-to-use
deal analyzer “tool” that tells you which of the 12 strategies you
should use for each lead you get.  Answer a few questions and
you’ll know exactly which of the 12 strategies you should use for
that deal!

Watch the replay here <===

7.    How to become an “equity partner” with property owners who don’t
want to sell for what you’re willing to offer and still make
$10,000 to $25,0000 or more on these deals.  This under the radar
strategy lets you practically steal deals from other investors
right under their noses — and the sellers will LOVE you for it!
Almost all sellers love this strategy once it’s presented to them
– but you probably don’t even know it exists!  You will after this
training call!

8.    A really fun way to acquire a house by using another house!
It’s called “house swapping” and you’ll learn how to be the
ultimate transaction engineer with this unusual, but highly
effective strategy.  Phill will show you a house swap deal he
recently completed and made $55,500!  You’re gonna love this one!

9.    Phill’s “Get Rich SLOW” plan… Why “buy and hold” needs to be a
part of your investing strategy for real wealth in the long run.
Do deals today that profit you over $100,000 a few years down the
line while you are still enjoying $20,000 per month of passive
income (after just 8 years or so of implementing his “Get Rich
Slow” plan).  This is the plan Phill has personally used to
currently OWN over 10 Million dollars worth of residential
investment properties… with over 60% of it being owned free and
clear… providing him with a fantastic monthly cash flow!  And he
did this in just 7 years!!!

10.    How to sell “un-sellable” houses to “un-loanable” buyers and
still make an average of $10,000 on every deal… without putting up
any of your own money at all.  This is a little-known strategy is
called “Mortgage Assignment”.  It’s one of Phill’s favorite
investing strategies because you can quickly and easily earn
$10,000 or more on each of these deals WITHOUT putting up one red
cent of your own money!

11.    How you can partner with Phill on deals you come across…
including short sale deals — no huge time commitments, negotiating
with banks, dealing with paperwork. Phill has done over 1,000 short
sales and his expert team will do all the work for you… he will
even fund the deals for you!  You just send him your deals.  Phill
is so good at short sales that HE is the preferred NATIONAL vendor
for Keller Williams nationwide (the 2nd largest residential real
estate firm in the country, behind ReMax).  Keller Williams sends
their short sale deals to Phill to be processed!

12.    The top investor mistakes that have cost the experts MILLIONS
in lost income.  Learn from the mishaps, failures, trials and
errors of other investors so you don’t make these same mistakes.

13.    If you’ve never done a deal in your life, then you’ll hear why
partnering with Phill will be an excellent LEARNING EXPERIENCE
for you… because you will be working side-by-side and DOING
DEALS WITH one of the top real estate investors in the country!

14.    You will learn about his unusual and proprietary “30 unique
ways to find deals”… so you can forward these deals to Phill and
partner with him.

15.    You will NOT find an easier way to get paid on deals.  When you
partner with Phill, you can easily have a full-time job at the
time.  (However, once you split a deal or two with him, you may want to
quit your job… just as many of his students have done!)

16.    You NEVER have to leave your home to do this.  If you partner
with Phill (which is optional), all the “work” is done by phone and
email!

17.    Phill will partner with you on pretty much any deal you send to
him, even short sale deals.  He will even fund these deals for you!
You just collect some information about the deal and forward that
to his office with one click of your mouse!

18.    PROOF!  On the training call, we will show you copies of recent
checks (with dates!) that Phill received on from his most recent
deals totaling $227,925.03… and ALL of these checks are from the
LAST TWO MONTHS… not 2, 3 or 4 years ago!

19.    How to make a fortune by referring some of the leads you get to
Realtors… where they do all the work and you get paid!  Phill got
paid on 40 of these “Realtor referral deals” in 2009!

This is a real must-watch video.

To happiness!
