What started out as one simple blog post has now evolved into a full fledged series that keeps growing. I guess our readers, listeners and viewers like it because we keep getting more and more requests for videos.

So if you guys don’t get tired of our mugs, we’ll keep putting them out for you. Barry and I really enjoy it and we love the opportunity to provide all of this free content for you. Stick around, you won’t have to buy any courses, we’ll show you how all of this is done.

I do have to say one thing that’s been bothering me. We are producing our content for those who are interested in making money. I don’t care if you’re an Investor or a Realtor, if you want to learn how to make money in real estate, we are eager to help you. What I am not going to do is apologize for our methods.

Nothing we say is illegal. While some of the info may not be comfortable for Realtors to hear, our methods have allowed us to succeed. I’m not an agent trainer and I gave up a long time ago trying to make agents see the light. So we moved back into our comfort zone and decided to simply focus on making money in this business. We’ll leave the Realtor training to those who have the patience to do so.

One thing I can tell you for sure is that we’re not interested in CONVINCING people that our methods work. We’re not even interested in debating people who have a problem with our methods. You either want to try and implement them or you don’t.

That being said, let’s get to today’s episode which I am sure will ruffle the feathers of some in the Realtor brethren yet again. Today we’re going to show you how we write our contracts for short sale offers.

Please understand, this video is about Short Sale offers only. We use a different contract when we work on REO’s and conventional sales. We’ll get to those in the future but for right now, we’re going to talk to you about our Short Sale contract.

You’ll see how we take a boilerplate real estate contract and craft it into a bulletproof document that ensures our profitability and protection once accepted. Do all of our offers get accepted? Of course not, but we know that the ones that do mean big bucks for us.

So watch the video, let me know what you think and look for the next episode in a few days wherein we show you how we find Cash Buyers and close one of these deals and re-sell it immediately for some serious coin.

*** Just so you know…this ain’t some quick Youtube video. It’s a full fledged lesson on How To Write A Short Sale Contract. Depending upon the speed of your Internet connection it may take a few minutes to load..maybe 7 seconds or so at the most on a really slow connection. This video was designed to play on fast connections. If you are on dial-up or on a slow connection it may not play for you. The running time on it is about 45 minutes…and no…NOTHING is sold or pitched. It’s all free content ***

We have been getting lots of emails from both Investors and Agents as to how we structure our offers on Short Sales. So we decided to use today’s show to discuss how we do it.

Maybe after watching the video you’ll understand how it is that we say you make your money when you buy. Realtors are going to hopefully understand that there is no such thing as a lowball offer but rather we proffer some detailed explanation as to how an offer price WELL below the listing price is actually substantiated.

In the video we take you on a gritty tour of a foreclosure and we show you what we look at and you get a rare glimpse into the mind of an Investor. You’ll see how we calculate the actual offer based upon our knowledge of the market and some other very important variables.

If you’re a Realtor, you may be surprised to learn how an Investor values a property and if you listen you may actually learn the difference between a low-ball offer and a valid offer with data that you can support and present with confidence.

If you’re a homeowner, now you can see how to truly value your property and how you need to instruct your agent to price the home so it moves. You don’t have a lot of time if you’re in foreclosure and as such, pricing a Short Sale should not be a cat and mouse game.

Lastly, if you’re an investor, or contemplating becoming an Investor, learn how to price your offers for maximum profitability.
