Wednesday, September 9th, 2009 | Uncategorized | 2 Comments
There’s a right way to do short sales and there’s a way that will land you in a LOT of hot water.
Tomorrow night my partner Jeff Watson, America’s TOP Short Sale Attorney, and I will dispel the myths and show you the 100% legal and ETHICAL way to make a 6-figure income investing in real estate short sales using “Stealth Options” WITHOUT using your own money, credit, with no previous experience and with just a few hours a week in your spare time.
This is a LIVE training and Q&A call where Jeff and I will share exactly what WORKS, especially now, and how to adapt to and PROFIT from today’s troubled market no matter how the economy changes.
I have been using “Stealth Options” for over a year now and NO ONE ELSE, except my highest level students, have even heard about “Stealth Options” until now.
Join us TOMORROW (Thursday, September 10th) at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific to get the scoop on “Stealth Options”.
Space is limited so I highly suggest you to register now…

I’ve been an active investor for the last 6 years earning over 3.5+ MILLION in profits in one of the worst markets in the country. I have quick-turned a house a week for the past 6 years in a row. Jeff Watson has been my personal attorney since day one and there no one on the PLANET that knows more about the legalities of short sales than him. I consider Jeff my secret weapon.
Not only is he a practicing attorney but also an active real estate investor himself. (Worth over a million dollars from his residential and commercial holdings as well as his interests in multiple businesses.)
Jeff is the creator of the “Stealth” Option Contract for quick turning short sales and continues to be an advocate for real estate investor rights.
But beyond that, one of Jeff’s best qualities is he’s a genuine down to earth guy who truly cares about the success of our students.
After this LIVE training on how to make 6-figure profits in short sales you’ll have the chance to ask Jeff and I any questions you have about the short sale process – whether if it’s about the options contract, how to get started in short sales the right way, or how to grow your current investing business.
Join us on tomorrow night’s call…

Emotion Drive Behaivor: Use Them to Sell Successfully
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
There are six basic sentiments that motivate human behavior: fear, love, guilt, loss, pride, and gain. Center your focus on these when using the hot-button targeting strategy to successfully close a deal.
The three positive emotions love, pride, and gain are the ones humans yearn for. These are the hot buttons you are strategically targeting when describing how you will help them and how wonderfully freeing it will be to begin their new life once the weight of having to sell their house is off their shoulders.
The three negative emotions – fear, loss, and guilt – are what humans instinctively flee from. These painful emotions are the ones you should direct your agitation technique towards, if their hot button is founded by en emotionally painful event or occurrence. It sounds cruel, but this helps them get out of the “deer-in-headlights” state of mind and into a progressively decisive mind-set.
With the hot-button targeting method, you are helping people solve their emotionally driven problems by pushing them away from the negative fear, loss, and guilt, and pushing them towards the positive love, pride, and gain that they wish for. Understand this. Learn how to use it. Know how to show them that you’re goal is to help them reach their goals, which will help you build a solid client-investor relationship and supercharge your business successfullness.

For Commercial Real Estate, Hard Times Have Just Begun
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Many of you have expressed an interest in learning more about commercial industry. Just like housing, there will be much opportunity in the commercial sector for those with the ability to get in.
“Mr. Parkus said that vacancy increases and rent declines already mirrored what happened in the 1990s, and until new jobs were created, generating an increase in demand for commercial space and more retail spending, this was not likely to be reversed.”

FHA on track for busiest year as it backs 23% of mortgages
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
For those of us doing back-to-back short transactions, we know how important FHA has become for those looking to buy a house.
“The FHA’s market share, about 3% in 2006, has swollen to more than 23%. With credit still tight, many borrowers could not get a mortgage without FHA help.”

Our Vision
As an industry leader, Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) provides the most advanced training in the short sale profession, both challenging and empowering students to go out to build the type of business they’ve always wanted. SREC’s Blog, Inside Information…All The Time!, is one of the most highly read and influential blogs in the world for the latest trends in and discussion about real estate investing.
Our Story
We understand that each individual brings different levels of experience and knowledge concerning real estate, and more specifically, short sales.
When we began, we didn’t have any experience. We didn’t have a roadmap of what to do, we just had two things: an overriding sense of confidence in our abilities and a commitment to learning everything we could about the short sale business.
We attended boot camps and we applied what we learned to our market –Cleveland, Ohio – a market known for severe job loss, high unemployment, and a ton of properties for sale. We tackled those issues in the short sale business that the “experts” failed to address. Before long, we were trailblazing new methods and achieving even more success. Soon, we were the ones teaching at the boot camps we once attended!
In a market where all of our early competition went out of business, we thrived.
We never imagined that we would one day be teaching thousands of people across the U.S. While we enjoy the big paydays we get from successfully completing transactions in our own real estate investment business, it doesn’t rival the success we feel when a coaching student closes their first deal, and has their pipeline filled with several more on the way.
At SREC, we are good at what we do because we really “do” what we teach. Each of us is an investor currently working on deals. The materials and training that we provide at SREC reflect our best practices. Just as important, the information we share is current and constantly being revised because of an ever-changing market.
You may be looking into short sales to bolster your real estate business, or to leave your job. Yes, you can make significant money in short sales, but short sales can also give you the freedom to design the life you want. Will it take a lot of work? You bet. Anything worthwhile in life takes discipline and effort.
That’s where SREC fits in.

Postponing the Day of Reckoning
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Trying to understand why the banks do what the do in terms of either accepting or rejecting a short sale offer can keep the best of us guessing. This article takes a look at how and why banks are slowing down the foreclosure process.
“Data released last week by the Mortgage Bankers Association showed delinquent loans growing at a brisk pace. In the second quarter, roughly 4.2 million borrowers were 90 days or more delinquent on their mortgages (a delinquency rate of 9.24%, up from 6.41% a year earlier), the trade group said. By contrast, foreclosures were initiated on just 612,000 homes (a foreclosure start rate of 1.36%, up from 1.08% a year earlier).”

Why a Housing Rebound Could Take 20 Years
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
I guess the housing markets not so bad in Cleveland after all: If you don’t have far to fall, you don’t have much to make up to gain what was lost. But if you’re in California, or Florida, watch out. It looks like it might be a loooong ride.
