Lake Los Angeles Homes for Sale

I had my own “shock and awe” today, when I looked atCanon 113
homes for sale in Lake Los Angeles, and found a home that was
right next door to the very first foreclosure deal that I ever bought.

The house that I bought was a 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch on half an acre
on 174th St in Lake Los Angeles.

Back then when I got started I did quite a few deals in that area and
every one of them has a unique story of trials, challenges, and
eventual success.

Going back to my beginnings, I notice one huge difference:

Urgency!

Even though this happened in a “hot” sellers market that is by
no means comparable to what’s going on today, all the deals that
I did at first were taking some time.

This first foreclosure ever for me – the seller called me 7 days before the
trustee sale and asked me if I could still do anything…

I was a total “rookie” then, but hey, there weren’t too many callers
that were pretty much out of options then.

And in spite of my “total rookie” status I made it happen! I made
arrangements with the foreclosing lender to come to the “cryer”
at the trustee sale, and hand him a cashier’s check for about $9,000
to bring the loan current.

I thought “Wow, if I can pull that off that I snap this property
away from under the noses of 65 eager trustee sale bidders,
that’d be something!”

And sure enough – that’s what I did.

So, yes, there was that urgency to GET the deal, but there was
no urgency at all in selling. Sure, I was totally nervous about
getting the house moved, and it was a 2-hour drive one way
for me to get to it…

But it wasn’t like I (or anybody else) EXPECTED to get any
deal sold within a few days! – Even though it was a “hot sellers market”!

Why then is it that everybody expects this now – in a slow buyers market?

Yes, it’s true – many deals have to be validated by having eager “wholesale
buyers” swamp your web site the second you send out an email, but I think that
many “rookie” and seasoned investors alike are cheating themselves
for a lot of gains by being too impatient.

Lake Los Angeles homes for sale are now MLS listed for half the price that
I paid for my first foreclosure. Do you really think it is hard to make
these deals profitable?

Here’s a solution: Do your homework!

6-Figure Syndication – The Shock and Awe

“Shock and Awe” is originally a military term that stands for
a surprise attack tactic.

This real estate investor has remained in the background to build
his world wide real estate syndication network.

Now he is ready to release his brand new report,
“The Shock and Awe Doctrine“.

In it, the quiet, and personable real estate investor ruthlessly
disarms everything you thought you knew about real estate
investing with armor-piercing bullets.

He squelches the 7 Greatest Fears that are holding real estate investors
back with knock-out blows, and yet, in his training videos he appears
as harmless as Clark Kent.

Could it be that this is the Syndication Superman that can get YOU to
step out of your comfort zone?

And finally do what you need to do?

Stop thinking about what you could do?

And be the resourceful syndicator you never knew was
hidden deep inside of you?

You will never know – unless…

…you get this Shock and Awe Doctrine NOW!

(to be continued…)

Should You Buy Commercial Millions?

Links TOC:

“This Table Of Contents is a compilation of all active links in this blog post. To put them in context, please read this entire blog post so you understand where I’m coming from with these opinions.”

“Commercial Millions” – Hype Or Hope?

A lot of people who are following this blog have been asking my opinion about Jason Gilbert’s course “Commercial Millions” – LINK.

The pitch sounds enticing: “Create Big Bucks Quickly With Commercial Real Estate Investing. NO Cash, NO Credit And NO Investing Experience Required. Works Even BETTER In Today’s Recession”.

But will it work for you?

Nothing Works Unless YOU Work It

OK, I’ve said this many times. There is always a lot of HOPE created in these types of launches. Any of the promises will only come true for YOU if you 100% commit to working whatever the system is.

But let’s take a closer look at what’s going on here. Any time “NO MONEY and NO CREDIT” is part of a program, that means that you have a system that uses OTHER PEOPLE’S resources to close the deal. From wholesaling, to short sales to lease-option strategies – NO MONEY and NO CREDIT investment strategies involve working TWO ENDS of the deal until you can benefit from it.

Playing With the Big Boys

Sure, it’s enticing when you see the big tickets on commercial deals, and you think “Hey, if I can make 10 times more money with the same amount of work per deal, why not TRY THIS?”

True, except – see what you just did? You said “TRY THIS”. TRYING stuff won’t get you results. Period.

Look at your book shelf and ask yourself what are you REALLY missing here? Is it more information on how to work yet another sub niche? Or is it information on how to COMMIT to doing SOMETHING – maybe something that you already know.

Get the FREE Stuff!?

By all means, I’m all for getting as much free information as you can, and the wide spread internet “launches” are great for that, because they really do provide a lot of good and actionable information upfront for free.

So, go ahead and get the Commercial Millions information (and decide if this is YOUR niche that you want to commit to and buy into…)

But make sure it doesn’t just distract you from working what you already know. I’m involved in a system that offers an “Asset Finder Program” that pays you (BIG BUCKS…) just for locating non-performing assets with local banks and lenders. The buyer is already in place. All you have to do is make some phone calls and get in touch with asset managers (get a list of 1000+ asset manager’s phone numbers here). How’s that for “NO MONEY and NO CREDIT?)???

What Matters Is…

…commitment to thinking AND acting like the rich do:

  1. Set Goals
  2. Set Deadlines
  3. Work Hard To Meet Them

(This BTW is one of the core business and customer relationship building strategies of Mass Control 2.0 which is an excellent investment into your business education – available on a payment plan…)

If You Had Do Choose

There is one more thing that I want to mention here. There is another “launch” coming up next month that I would personally recommend very strongly. here is why: It’s about business building strategies, not about chasing the latest niche! Brad Wozny has just released the first element of his “6-Figure Syndication” -LINK program. It’s a free report of more than 70 pages.

If you had to choose between that and Commercial Millions, I would wait. But definitely read Brad’s report BEFORE you pay for Commercial Millions…
