Mehmet, I am glad to hear that my advice was of benefit to you.The answer to your question ultimately depends on a variety of circumstances. As I always say, there are a number of ways to "ENTER" a real estate transaction, just like there any number of ways you can "EXIT" a real estate...

Drew, thanks for your kind words. I will forward my Lead Sheet (buying) scripts to you under seperate e-mail cover. Please check your (e-mail) inbox and let me know if you have any questions. QUOTE (hank14 @ Nov 26 2009, 06:06 AM) Tony, I would be most appreciative if I could have a copy of...

This is one of the reasons WHY I am always advising real estate investors to "CRANK UP THEIR BUYING MACHINES"! The phone will NOT ring if you do not let people know you are in the business of "BUYING" houses! When people know that, it`s truly amazing what can be accomplished! The feedback on...

You are most welcome Marc! QUOTE (marcp @ Nov 26 2009, 10:08 AM) Thanks for sharing that Gary, that motivates me to update my... "sophisticated investor binder", as was mentioned by Tony. And thank you Tony for you replies on my other posts. Cheers,

Mehmet, I would start by requesting a copy of the "listing release" from the real estate agent. The last thing you want to have to do is cough up commission to a realtor after the fact. As soon as you receive verification that he or she has released their interest you need to get the AFS...

BINGO! There is more than one way to "Buy Houses with No Money Down", and this is one of them! Now all you need to do is take along your "sophisticated investor binder" when you meet with the investor and show them "WHY" they would want to do business with you. Thanks for taking the time to...

Mark, sounds like you are having some fun. Have you made plans to move yet? QUOTE (MarkOnaba @ Nov 25 2009, 06:48 PM) I did the yellow letter campaign in my small town. It was word for word Ron Le Grand`s. The results for leads (mostly suspects) were well over 50%. But, there is a problem...

You`re most welcome Peter! Please keep me posted and let me know how you make out. QUOTE (westboundventures @ Nov 25 2009, 07:47 AM) Thanks for sharing this Tony, I really appreciate it, and will be trying your scripts out on the next seller I talk with!

Scott, from your comments I assume you missed the Ron LeGrand event in October? QUOTE (ScottS @ Nov 24 2009, 09:15 PM) Generally, what should I be looking at for cost per sign (aka - what is a competitive price)? Also, generally what size are you talking about, and what info is on the signs? My...

Dineen, you are most welcome! As I always say, the questions are important, but it`s how you go about asking the questions and in what order that REALLY matters! How do you think I know this? QUOTE (DineenJJ @ Nov 23 2009, 04:18 PM) Thanks Tony that cleared things up. I agree it doesn`t hurt...

Peter, I have taken care of this request for you. Please check your (e-mail) inbox and let me know if you have any questions? QUOTE (westboundventures @ Nov 24 2009, 02:51 AM) Tony, I would also be most appreciative if I could receive a copy of your script. Thanks for your contributions to this...

Garnet, I have already taken care of your request for you. Please check your (e-mail) inbox and let me know if you should have any questions. All the best! QUOTE (garnetbailey @ Nov 23 2009, 03:23 PM) Tony, Somehow I missed out on your gracious offer of a script. Can I re-request it from you...

I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience! However, I am not surprised as I hear and I read about these types of stories all the time!This is one of the reasons why I elected to place a LOT of focus on establishing "credibility" with our own (LTO) program when we first started, as I did...

C, I have been operating a successful "Lease To Own" program for almost seven years. If you would like to check out our programs you can visit my website @ Hi, The RTO program looks profitable than if you just buy an investment property and rent it out---considering my financial situation: I...

Dineen, if they will not leave any information they are most likely "SUSPECTS"! However, if some are requesting for you to call them back, it would not hurt to do so. With that said, it is your job as a "SOPHISTICATED" real estate investor to filter them as "QUICKLY" as possible! P.S. when...

Monte, thanks for joining in on this thread. I was aware of the Fannie Mae program, but that is a program that has been sanctioned in the states. It is also a program that does not involve negotiating severe (below current market value) discounts. There is a BIG difference between the two...

Thomas, I would have to dig through my files to find the case studies. The problem arises when things go sideways with a Tenant/Buyer. While the investor may have "good intentions", the investor is essentially viewed (by a Judge) as "taking advantage" of the seller during their time of...

Philip, CAUTION...WARNING BELLS...BEWARE!!This is a great idea, but I would HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT enter into a "Lease with Option to Purchase" or "Rent To Own" type of arrangement with ANY of the houses you pick up for a "severely discounted" price! WHY? If you end up in court...

Tootse, Please remember this...CA$H is KING! If you can negotiate a low cash down deal in a city or town that you are happy with the "fundamentals", you should TAKE IT! I have and I continue to purchase houses with little or NO MONEY DOWN and I will take these types of deals ANY day of the...
