			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re smack dab in the middle of the <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">biggest market shift</span></em></strong> we&#8217;ll ever see in our lifetime. It creates challenges sure. But it also creates new profitable opportunities.</p>
<p>After reading up on the news about how no one can get bank loans and reading your survey responses last week, I decided to show you EXACTLY how to take advantage of the biggest market shift that&#8217;s going on right now.</p>
<p>I put together a video training where I&#8217;ll share with you exactly how to take advantage of the hidden goldmine waiting for you!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.instantcashinfusion.com/" target="_blank">Click Here</a>.</p>
<p>Here are some of the benefits of what I cover in the training and how it will benefit you:</p>
<p>*There are 4 simple, fast, safe and easy ways for you to make money that don&#8217;t require any banks whatsoever in today&#8217;s new market. I&#8217;ll show you how these 4 strategies work for you to close transactions way easier than you doing them now.</p>
<p>*I&#8217;ll show you how to profit from every type of property. Houses with equity, houses with no equity and no default (which are most common) and overleveraged houses in foreclosure (short sales).</p>
<p>*Proven investment strategies. My students and I have been using these strategies since 2004. Just now in 2012 are these strategies really going to &#8220;blast off&#8221; because of the current state of the financial markets.</p>
<p>*You get paid within 60 days. Often in as little as 16 days. No waiting for 7 months to get a short sale approved and flipped or a house rehabbed and sold.</p>
<p>*You get paid between $500 to $20,000 up front.</p>
<p>*There is one set of paperwork you use to execute all 4 techniques.</p>
<p>*With one of these techniques there is three ways to make money. You can make some cash now (between $500 to $20,000), cash flow each month (between $100 to $1,000) and then cash out down the road (between $7,000 and $40,000) without ever owning the home.</p>
<p>*These leads are everywhere and require little to no marketing costs on your part to obtain.</p>
<p>*This is the easiest, fastest way to make money in real estate with no money, bad credit, and no loans for you or your buyers.</p>
<p>*Even if you work full time, 10-14 hours a day or more at your other job, you can do this.</p>
<p>&#8220;YES&#8221; josh I want to attend the &#8220;Tell All&#8221; presentation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.instantcashinfusion.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p>
<p>Josh</p>
<p>P.S. over 62% of the survey responses said they are most interested in ways to make quick money and their favorite investing niche is wholesaling and lease options. On this webinar I will show you EXACTLY how to profit in these niches with no cash or start up costs so you can change your life and your lifestyle in 2012.</p>
<p>P.P.S. You asked for this information and I&#8217;m going to deliver the goods. I promise this training kicks butt. I worked my tail off to put it together for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2011 was a bad year for home prices. As a matter of fact, it was the worst ever. As a real estate investor looking for bargain properties that can be scooped up, fixed, and either sold or rented &#8211; that has to music to your ears. There’s only one problem: Mortgage bankers have gotten a lot choosier about giving out credit and approving loans for buyers. </p>
<p>Many experts believe at a time when the economy needs more buyers and borrowers there are much less than ever because banks are pickier about lending money. The Federal Reserve recently surveyed a group of mortgage brokers to get their inside scoop about mortgage lending practices. The Fed’s survey found that lending standards went up sharply after the credit crisis in late 2008. Since then credit hasn’t gotten any easier as banks maintained their strict requirements about mortgage qualification. </p>
<p>As you read into this, an obvious conclusion can be drawn. Finding distressed properties is the easy part. According to Inside Mortgage Finance, 46.1% of all home purchase transactions are distressed properties including short sales, damaged, and non-damaged REOs. Getting credit is the hard part.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strategicrealestatecoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Mortgages-are-hard-to-get-2.2.20121.png"><img src="http://www.strategicrealestatecoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Mortgages-are-hard-to-get-2.2.20121.png" alt="Mortgages are hard to get 2.2.2012" title="Mortgages are hard to get 2.2.2012" width="635" height="463" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4264" /></a></p>
<p>So my advice to you is this… Focus on 3 things : </p>
<p>#1 Raise private capital. Every rehab I do today is funded by private lenders from my network I’ve been building for years.  </p>
<p>#2 Invest in distressed properties at bargain prices. There are REOs and short sales everywhere to buy.  There are also 26 million homeowners who cannot sell because they have no equity. They want to sell but can’t sell through traditional methods using bank loans for their buyers. Using a lease option assignment strategy fee is the fastest and safest way for investors to profit in today’s market. This is where a real estate investor takes over the property using a lease with option to purchase agreement and then wholesales that contract to a lease option buyer for an assignment. The average profit on a transaction like this is about $6,000 for a $150,000 property. </p>
<p>#3 Have multiple exit strategies including selling without bank financing (lease options or owner financing). Rent rolls are higher today than they’ve been since 1999. Consider selling on a rent with an option to buy or with owner financing. Often times, properties will sell in 1/10th the time if they are sold with a large deposit and monthly payments with a 2 year option to purchase. When we market a property on Craigslist “No Bank Qualifying, Rent to Own”, we will typically get 50 calls within 1 week. Real Estate Investors can expect that 3-5 of those buyers will have good credit (600-700 score), 3-5%  to put down, and a stable job. They, for multiple reasons, can’t get a bank loan in today’s market. Maybe they have a small bruise on their credit from a late payment or too many open lines of credit. Once they clean that up over the next 18 months they will qualify for a traditional bank loan and cash the deal out.  </p>
<p>There just aren’t nearly as many buyers who can cash you out of your properties using bank loans today. If and when bankers start to ease up and loosen up credit then the market will be primed for the real estate investor to make a killing. When there are still bunches of REOs and short sales and there are buyers who can get credit, profit spreads will shoot up 25%, 50%, or even double. I expect that to happen in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2012.  </p>
<p>~Always expect the best outcome~</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, on my “Life Lessons” webinar, I took a totally different angle. I didn’t teach a “SYSTEM” for making money. Instead I focused on the “Life Lessons” I’ve learned while forced to be away from my businesses. These are the concepts that make a business worth working at and fighting for. When you aren’t allowed to work you realize that working is a privilege, not a nuisance. I love what I do and I do it well. Being forced to be away from work and my family was very difficult.</p>
<p>Along the way I’ve learned 8 Life Lessons, plus 5 “underground” lessons.</p>
<p>Watch the webinar below to get the full insider’s view.</p>

</script></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Here are the life lessons I learned along the way:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">1)      Be Daring</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">2)      Expect the Best Outcome</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">3)      It Only Take One</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">4)      Time To Grind</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">5)      Go Overboard</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">6)      T.V. is the biggest waste of time in human history</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">7)      Acidic Vs. Alkaline Body</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">8)      Prepare Like Hell</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">9)      Only Systemize Perfect Systems</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">10)    Don’t Paint Yourself In A Corner</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">11)     Track and Measure Everything</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">12)     Do What You Love</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">13)     Outsource and Delegate for Cheap</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">3)      Brokerage is leading the way</p>

<li>Generate leads online (we generated 300+ leads while I was in the hospital)</li>
<li>Recruit Agents </li>
