Shaun McCloskeyNo doubt about it – foreclosure properties are the wave of the present – and the future. The truth is, they’re not going anywhere any time soon. There are endless desperate sellers right in your own back yard who would LOVE to have you fix their problem by negotiating a pennies-on-the-dollar payoff with their banks – and don’t care one bit that you’ll make tens of thousands of dollars in the process.

The problem is, most short sale education makes it sound like every deal you do will be quick, easy, painless, and successful – and according to Shaun McCloskey (and many other real life short sale investors we know), that’s just not the whole truth. Shaun is one of the few short sale/pre-foreclosure experts you’ll ever meet who’s honest about the pros and cons – and tells you how to meet the challenges of this strategy head-on. It’s Shaun’s first time at Tampa REIA and he’ll explain:

  • Why some short sale deals are no-brainer money-makers and some are a complete waste of your time – and how to tell the difference BEFORE you spend a bunch of time “negotiating” deals that should be left for dead.
  • Why good systems are key to working multiple short sales at once – and why working multiple deals at once is more profitable and easier than doing one at a time.
  • How to identify the right sellers, properties, and lenders to work with, so you can make a 6-figure income negotiating short sales this year!
  • And much, much more!

Shaun McCloskey is a full time real estate investor located in St. Louis, MO specializing in short sales and pre-foreclosure property acquisition. He has successfully bought and sold over 300 properties since 2003 and loves the every day thrills of the residential real estate business.

Come learn about making short sales smart and simple at the Tampa REIA Meeting on Thursday, August 13th at 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL.

BonusSPECIAL BONUS: Shaun also has a very special bonus for those who attend our meeting while supplies last. He will be giving away a copy of his Special Short Sale Wealth Report on The TOP 9 Mistakes Investors Make Regarding Short Sales” so you can avoid making them or catching yourself when you do.

Marketing for Pre-Foreclosures
With Tangie Cousins of Foreclosures Daily

She will talk about how to get homeowners to open your mail, how to get the appointment when calling sellers, what to do while your at the property, how to get your phone to ring off the hook and more.

He is the author of several real estate investing courses and is widely known for his expertise in the fields of pre-foreclosure and short sales.

Although by the world’s standards Shaun was considered to be a very successful entrepreneur, in 2007 he realized that he was working far too much and was consumed by his business. By implementing the LIFEonaire and debt free investing principles into his own life, this is now a thing of the past.

“Everyone says they want to be a millionaire, but what they really want is LIFE! The American Dream says that more money equates to a better life, however, I know a number of people that have made millions of dollars and are also miserable. I know because I was one of them.

Making A Killing
With Pretty Houses

at the Hilton Orlando/Altamonte Springs

Tampa REIA Members & Guests Can
Print a FREE Guest Pass to Attend GoREIA
Be Sure to Let Robyn Thompson know you are with Tampa REIA

Ron LeGrandOur good friend Robyn Thompson of the Greater Orlando Real Estate Investors Association (GoREIA) asked me to invite you to GoREIA on Thursday, July 23rd from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at the Hilton Orlando/Altamonte Springs for their meeting with Ron LeGrand on “How to Make a Killing with Pretty Houses”! It’s a rare opportunity to spend the evening with a real estate investing legend and millionaire maker and the guy who started it all for myself, Robyn and thousands of others across Florida and around the country.

Here’s a special message from Ron that Robyn wanted me to forward to you…

“Why is it some people come into real estate and do very well, some netting seven figures their first year, and others put in the time but don’t get good results?

Is it the area?

No! It’s the same in every city!

Is it the economy?

No! Been that way for my entire 33 years during the good economies and the bad!

Is it the availability of money and credit?

No! Those who make the most use neither!

Then is it the training?

Not really! The people who excel get the same training as those who don’t!

It’s none of these but I do know what it is and I’m making it the subject of our evening together and that conversation will continue through Saturday at my all day seminar.

This career killer is fixable but if it isn’t fixed you’ll never do better than making a living at real estate no matter how hard or long you work.

There are people in every real estate group, including yours, with long careers in the house business who haven’t fixed it but seem to be doing well.

They aren’t doing well!

They’re only making a living… and I know why! So will you, after Thursday night and it’s my objective to help you make more than a living.

Record your favorite TV Shows and come see PAPA at the only REIA meeting I’ve agreed to do this entire year.”

Sat July 25, 2015 at 9 AM @ Hilton Altamonte Springs
GOREIA of Orlando presents…
with Ron LeGrand on
The Pretty House Business
with Ron LeGrand

On Saturday, July 25th from 9AM to 5PM
at the Hilton Orlando/Altamonte Springs

Ron LeGrandPerhaps you’re sick and tired of waiting for the real estate market to bounce back in the traditional sense, but we’ve got to tell you, you needn’t wait any longer. The TRUTH is, real estate investing is hot, hot, hot, right now! You’ve just got to change your “traditional” mindset a little.

That’s why you can’t afford to miss this one-day, all-day training event with Ron LeGrand on July 25th!

As the world’s leading authority on quick turning real estate, his methods are cutting edge, forward thinking and stunningly creative. His priority remains figuring out “how to” successfully structure investing deals in any economy and at any time. He’s done just that.

Once again, he’s taken an already proven technique and refined it so definitively, student partners recently closed two deals in two months netting them $250,000. Ron personally just closed a deal netting him a whopping $50,000 while never using one cent or his credit to do so.

Come learn how you can work less and focus on the most important things and quit working so hard on all the rest. You’ll learn by thinking “out of the box” and against conventional wisdom, so you too can surpass your current income.

You’ll also receive Ron’s book titled, “How to be a Quick Turn Real Estate Entrepreneur in Any Economy,” and he’ll autograph it for you at the event.

He’ll also be giving away $5,000 in cash and prizes.
It’ll be lots of fun too!
