If you are counting on the past real estate trends and regulations to help you close deals today, that is enough to put you out of business.  Since Covid 19 hit throughout the world, I have watched the short sale industry change on a monthly basis for Investors and Realtors.  What worked in the past is not working now.  The short sale industry has changed due to Covid 19 and if you don’t change, your short sales deals will fall apart.  NO CLOSINGS = NO CASH.  Since I am a Short Sale Expert, Real Estate Broker and an Investor, I have had to watch with a keen eye in order to adapt quickly and successfully to the changes.  I have updated my system so I can cash in on short sales during Covid 19.

In order to allow your business to grow and be successful, you must also invest the time to “sharpen the saw” and renew the “mind” of your business………for the sake of your business.  The only guarantee we have is that change will always continue.  It’s scary and often we want to bury our head in the sand and wait until it passes, but that’s not a choice here.  We must arm ourselves with education and turn change from our enemy into our friend.  Join us Thursday evening, November 11, 2021, to find out how!

There are millions of Sellers that are either behind on their mortgage payments, attempting a Forbearance or in Foreclosure.  Everyone is aware that there was a moratorium on evictions which resulted in many landlords causing them to go into foreclosure in addition to the foreclosure moratorium for homeowners.  We have seen so many deaths due to Covid 19 causing more properties to go into foreclosure and leaving heirs with the lack of knowledge to sell a home from an estate. Learn how you can cash in on short sales during Covid 19 by joining me on Thursday, November 11, 2021.   If you are advertising, negotiating or referring short sale deals, then YOU NEED TO BE AT THIS MEETING OR ON ZOOM!  It is a “must see, must hear, must know” training!   Now is the best time to buy and sell short sales. 

You need to learn exactly how to motivate sellers especially during Covid 19, how to cash in on estate deals that are in foreclosure, and how to push your deal through fast with the short sale lender plus much more.   Join me at the meeting on Thursday, November 11, 2021, to find out how you need to make these changes in your business now.  In order to be successful, you have to move forward with the flow of change and continue to make the necessary adjustments that scare most people right out of the real estate business.  Investing in real estate can bring in lots of money for those who adapt.  Real estate is just like every other area in your life, if you want it to be successful, then you must keep educating yourself.  I am speaking at this meeting in order to support you in that decision!!

Join me on Thursday, November 11, 2021 at Tampa REIA and at the One Day Foreclosures Gone Wild Event on Saturday, November 13, 2021.  I will tell you all the secrets for successful short sale during this pandemic.  So … mark your calendar and be there!  There are plenty of short sales to go around; be sure to invite all of your real estate and investor friends! Dustin said Tampa REIA Members can bring one guest to the November meeting at NO CHARGE!

 “The more I examine the issue of clutter, the more effort I put into combating it, because it really does act as a weight.” ~ Gretchen Rubin

The Key Ring app is a mobile wallet that can consolidate all your store loyalty reward cards. This is a great way to keep all your cards in one place and stay organized with lists and coupons right in the app. Instead of cluttering up your physical key chain, the app allows the user to hold all the store membership cards. So, you’re never without them! It also holds gift card information, which is great! Never lose track of a gift card again. This app has over 12 million downloads, making this one of the most practical and useful apps.

This digital wallet makes your rear facing camera a barcode scanner, just point and shoot your membership card. Just be sure to get a clear view of the barcode on the card. It will recognize all the data associated with that barcode and store it for you. To present the card in store just show your phone. The barcode for that store’s loyalty card will appear on screen that the clerk can scan at the register.  Read More→

The Power of a Refusal Option

Posted on September 18, 2017 by

I hate being an idiot, but when you screw up like I just did, it qualifies me to be the biggest nimrod in the land!

The most powerful document in real estate investing is the option agreement.  Sadly, the least used and most misunderstood document in real estate also happens to be the option agreement.  Why don’t more folks know how to effectively use options to control property?  Probably because there are so few investors who have experience using options. 

Most folks have heard of Lease Options, but what about Purchase Options, Performance Options and First Right of Refusal Options, to name but a few?  Read More→

Many students have asked me “Can you short sale a reverse mortgage?” and I had informed them that I have never done one before.  However, recently I have received two seller leads who have reverse mortgages that had asked for assistance in selling their homes.  A Reverse Mortgage is different from a regular mortgage that a homeowner would receive. 

A Reverse Mortgage is normally used by elderly individuals who owned their home free and clear that don’t want to have a monthly mortgage payment, want their equity out of the home and want to continue living in their home until their death.  Here is my understanding of a reverse mortgage.  Read More→
