Ed, I respect and can appreciate your enthusiasm, as I am also BIG promoter of TAKING ACTION! However, depending on where people are at with respect to their own real estate investing careers, it does make a HUGE difference on how they should move forward. I am not sure if you had the...

Vince,I am glad to hear that you are already… TAKING ACTION! CONGRATULATIONS!! To answer your questions; There is no "right" or "wrong" system, course or real estate investing strategy that I would recommend to you at this particular point in time. In my opinion, what it ultimately comes...

Zander, I could not agree with you comments more. I think it ultimately boils down to "where you may be at with your own real estate investing career". This question is not specifically targeted at you, as it is targeted at everyone who will read this post. You are obviously a lot farther...

You`re welcome Kelly! I thought that it was important for me to "do my part", as I remember feeling exactly the same way as you have just described. It is much better to take some time and do it...The RIGHT way! The BEST of luck to you and your husband! QUOTE (mcilroy @ Oct 19 2009, 02:13...

Most of you may already be aware of the fact that I am a HUGE fan of Ron LeGrand! WHY? My wife (Jo-Ann) and I had the good fortune of attending a number of his seminars back in 2003. Since that time we have been implementing many of the "creative" and "unique" (quick turn) real estate...

Are you attending the Ron LeGrand event? QUOTE (DLUX @ Oct 14 2009, 10:28 PM) Tony I am very interested in learning these secrets, what or how is the best way?

Keith, You need to learn the "secrets" of purcashing properties using OPM (other people`s money) and, with...NO MONEY DOWN"! Once I realized that the BANKS were NOT there for me, I started exploring and applying many "creative" strategies of my own. As a result, I have been able to purchase...

The reason for my question was based on some of the confusion and lack of understanding that I have noticed over the past few weeks on this forum. If you had said yes, I would have advised you to wait until after the event before taking ANY action! Please do not take this the wrong way, but if...

No problem Jeff. Consider it done!QUOTE (Jesal @ Oct 11 2009, 10:06 AM) Hi Tony, I just joined REIN a few months ago and have signed up for Ron Legrand`s seminar. I am trying to come up with the appropriate questions for my FSBO calls. I`d appreciate it if you could share your scripts. Thank...

No problem Zander. Consider it done!QUOTE (ZanderRobertson @ Oct 11 2009, 01:29 AM) Hi Tony, Sorry to bombard you with the same request; but if you don`t mind, could you send your scripts to me as well? My email address is [email protected] Thanks, Zander

Chung, My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, as I was away for the Thanksgiving long weekend. I hope you enjoyed your weekend? Here are some answers to your questions; 1. The ARV (After Repair Value) can be obtained by doing the following; the script requires you to ask the...

Greg is absolutely right. You should not be focusing your attention on the "mortgage paydown". That will obviously happen over time, but it should NOT be your primary focus! If you are investing in the cities and towns that REIN promote, you will benefit from solid equity appreciation over...

Will you be attending the Ron LeGrand event this week? QUOTE (nubiwan @ Oct 12 2009, 01:15 PM) Got this from my Kijiji ad telling people I buy houses. Unless this guy is able to sell to me at 20-25% below FMV, then I am not interested, correct? How do I ask him nicely? I`ve asked for other...

Limin, I will forward a copies of two scripts that I have been using for the past seven years. One is used by my staff to collect detailed information, and the other one is a watered down version for use by a call centre. I will forward to your e-mail address.QUOTE (Limin @ Oct 8 2009, 01:42...

Lukas, you are 100% correct! You are..."helping people out and solving their problems". Just don`t cross the line and let "GREED" influence your decisions, as I see it all too often. I am a firm believer that the name of one of our real estate companies that we incorporated back in 2003...

I agree with tahani 100%. The BIG issue is "disclosure". I personally refrained from obtaining my real estate license as I was NOT interested in listing properties and making a living in that fashion. I have access to EVERYTHING that I need through my own realtor, so the decision was easy for...

Brian, I will forward a copy to you via e-mail. QUOTE (BrianMcGuckian @ Oct 7 2009, 06:05 PM) Hi Tony, I was all set up and ready to sign up for the Legrand course only to be messed around by work so I had to cancel..(sorry again Marc!). Fortunately I have ramped up my marketing and am doing my...

AWESOME job! But Brett is right, the banks will ONLY lend on what you paid for the property. They don`t care how much "equity" you have today. That`s why you need to find some short term (bridge financing) and then re-mortgage after you are registered on title. I have done this MANY times...

Bill,I have been implementing Ron LeGrand`s creative strategies since 2003. I would be happy to provide you with a copy of the script we use. If you could provide me with your e-mail address I will forward a copy to you. I must warn you though, having the script and asking certain questions, is...

It ultimately depends on how you have your Lease Purchase Agreement structured. My agreements are structured in such a way that if the Tenant/Buyer defaults, they forfeit their deposit and option credits. However, with that said, depending on the situation, you may want to provide some...
