I get emails and phone calls from clients all of the time who want to know how we can tell what a deal really is.

Well,  in addition to the numbers, we have to be able to run down some basic, yet extremely valuable, info on the target property.

Now understand, what you are about to learn, doesn’t get taught in Realtor school, nor at any investment club meeting by any guru.

Why? Because most of the gurus and brokers out there don’t know how to do this themselves. Once you learn this technique, you’ll be armed with the most current, detailed info that will allow you to avoid the landmines in a deal and even allow you to find profit where most did not even know existed.

Take a look at this video and see how easy it is to get the leg up on your competition. And the best part of this technique is that it’s easy, quick and totally f.ree.

Enjoy this video.

FYI, it’s pretty detailed so you may want to click the full screen option to watch it.

Last week, we told our readers that we were going to construct a deal right in front of you, live without a net at our next REI BarCamp event.

Well the response has been nuts. We have had people who isn’t even in South Florida who want to know how we do it. He wants to fly in from Los Angeles just to see how it’s done.

That’s crazy! He said he took a course for $5,000.00 and could not believe that we would walk people through a deal for fr.ee. But that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Today, I’m even going to tell you the address so you can see how we do it. Sure, there may be some snakes in our midst who will run out and try to put something together before we do it on Saturday.

But that’s not the point. The point is we’ll still show you how to do it. The target property, except for numbers and such is pretty much irrelevant. The way we put the deal together can be implemented on ANY property.

So let’s begin. Our subject property is located at 713 SW 3rd Place in Dania Beach, Florida. I’ll also tell you it’s slated to be auctioned off on August 31, 2010.

That’s just about 45 days until the bank takes it back. That’s all you need to know right now. On Saturday we’ll show you how you can put an entire deal together and get this short sale approved and sold for some serious coin.

That’s all the info Barry and I need to start with. We don’t know the homeowner, have never met the homeowner and haven’t even talked to the homeowner. Pretty much, other than knowing an address, you know about as much as we do.

However…what can YOU do with this information to make yourself $10,000.00 – $20,000.00 in the next 45 days? Would you even been able to find this information on your own? So what’s your next move?

Well, to find out ours, you’ll have to come to REI BarCamp. It’s definitely something you can afford. It’s completely f.ree!

Do you want to know the strategies and tips that will enable you to realize your goals? Are you tired of going to the same old real estate investment club meetings month after month being pitched to and only being given part of the story?

Well then you need to attend an REI BarCamp!

Before I can tell you what REI BarCamp is, I have to tell you what it’s not.

REI BarCamp is not a convention or seminar designed to make money. It is totally FREE!  Not mostly free, not a free trial, not almost Free. 100% Free.

REI BarCamp is NOT a smoothly disguised “seminar” to sell you something. There is NO SELLING at REI BarCamp. No books and courses in the back of the room, no credit cards needed, no DVD’s or videos for sale…nope..100% free content and discussion about what you need to be a successful real estate investor.

And unlike a lot of BarCamps held in the real estate space, this is not a party or happy hour. The REI BarCamps are pure, white-knuckle, content immersed, events. You won’t leave drunk with alcohol but you will leave intoxicated with money making ideas that will leave your head spinning and a desire to hit the road running on Monday morning!

So now that you know what REI BarCamp is not…here’s what it is:

It’s the “un-conference”, it’s the “anti-seminar”. REI BarCamp is a one day “get-together” of like minded real estate agents and real estate investors who look at real estate as the profit generating commodity that it is.

REI BarCamp is an open an honest discussion of the strategies, tips, ideas and problems of real estate investing in today’s volatile, yet profitable, real estate market.

Anyone interested in making money in the real estate business can attend. However, please understand, this isn’t your everyday real estate investment club meeting. If you attend REI BarCamp you must be willing to be a part of the event.

You’ll speak directly to people who are willing to share their knowledge with you openly and freely. If you don’t have the desire to be an active participant, or if you feel that making money via real estate investing isn’t for you, then a REI BarCamp is probably not for you.

This is the information age and we’re bringing it to the real estate investing industry. No gurus, no slick salespeople, no BS or hype. Just 8 hours of pure content, networking and technological information designed to make you a profit generating force in your market.

Here is one more very unique thing about REI BarCamp. The sessions are NOT presentations, they are CONVERSATIONS. The experts in the room will often give a 15-20 minute talk on a subject to get the conversation going, and then open the room to question and answers.

If you have a question or a statement, ask it. If you have an answer, offer it. If you have nothing to add to a conversation, REI BarCamp is not for you. There are NO attendees at REI BarCamp, only PARTICIPANTS.

What sets the REI BarCamp apart from other technological based Barcamps is that in our events, we will take you through live tansactions from start to finish and let you see how the deals get done.

You’ll hear critiques, see the where the landmines are and most of all you’ll learn how to peel back the layers of a deal to find out how the real money is made.

Participation in a REI BarCamp is going to allow you to ride the elevator to the top! This is the future of real estate investment training and once you participate, you’ll never attend another boring pitchfest disguised as a real estate investment club meeting!

Sponsor Update: If you’re serious about real estate investing you’re going to need a reliable source of money to get your deals funded. We are proud to announce that EquityMax will be on site and participating in REI BarCamp Fort Lauderdale.

We welcome the opportunity to help our clients achieve their investment goals, and are always open to more effective and creative ways to do exactly that!

Hey everybody we have a money making strategy that we want to share with you. It’s really easy and we made a quick video about it. In today’s video we are going to answer a question we recently received. We got an email from Michael in Houston Texas who asked us “how do I put together a list of buyers to assign my contracts to“

Michael is a real estate investor and he told us that he is actually getting deals at great prices but he’s looking to move these properties via assignment of contract. This is a great real estate investing strategy…but what do you do when you don’t have any cash buyers on your buyers list? Well, let’s find out!

So what Michael is looking to do is wholesale his deals to either end buyers or to other investors.

We believe that wholesaling real estate is a great money making strategy but it can be tough if you don’t have a list of buyers to sell to. So what should Michael do?

Well for those investors in Michael’s shoes there are a number of ways to go about building your buyer’s list but they are going to take time.

So if you’re looking to make money in real estate quickly…and I mean in a week or even in a couple of days, there’s one quick way to do so.

Form a joint venture with a real player in your market. Hands down this is the fastest and easiest way to make some quick yet substantial dollars.

It’s so easy that we know some people who only use this strategy. You don’t need a dime of your own money, you don’t need to have any credit…and I mean you can be in bankruptcy and still make money doing this. And you don’t need and real experience.

You will need to know how to fill out a real estate contract and you will need to learn how to execute an assignment of contract, but other than that, you can be pocketing cash days from watching this video.

Here’s how it works. BEFORE you begin putting some contracts out, find out who the whales are in your market. The easiest way to find these guys is to visit your local real estate investment club meeting.

Meet with the owner of the club, and tell him you’re looking to partner up with someone to push some deals to. More than likely he’ll either be interested in the deals himself or he’ll tell you he’ll help you market them.

You’ll then need to find out the criteria that the whales are looking for and you then become somewhat of a real estate waiter. You simply take their stated criteria and go fill the order. The way you fill the order is finding a deal that meets with their objectives. Then and only then do you get it under contract. The next step would be to get your JV agreement in place.

This ensures you get paid at closing. Then you execute your assignment and pick up your check! No marketing, email blasts, no listing..nothing. Your whale JV partner takes care of everything and you pick up a fat check for a few hours work.

It’s the ultimate flipping houses strategy for new investors…and as I said, us old timers use it now and then too! Last Thanksgiving, I was on vacation in Connecticut and I saw a sign in front of a farmhouse. Knowing what to look for it appeared to look like it might be a “classic don’t wanter” situation.

Sure enough it was. So I put it under contract and then had to decide what to do. Being 1,200 miles from South Florida, I waited until after dinner and went online looking for the local real estate investment club and did a little research.

When I got back to Fort Lauderdale I called the owner of the club and talked about my deal. 30 minutes later I emailed him a JV agreement and we had a deal! I sold the deal to him for a quick and easy $5,200.00 profit and I didn’t do anything except drive by a farmhouse while on vacation.

What did he make? Well he bought the property himself and he made a lot more than what I did…but I’ll take $5,200.00 for about an hour’s worth of my time. I bet you wouldn’t have a problem with making that kind of money on vacation either.

So you see, you’ll end up splitting profits on a 50/50 basis but you’ll make some quick cash. For instance, let’s say you found a deal that you can pick up for $40,000 and can sell for $50,000.

Well, you split the 10k profit and move on to the next deal. Don’t get greedy. Just get yourself in a position so you don’t need to split all of your deals.

Make sure however that you do your homework and know your numbers. An experienced cash buyer knows a deal when he sees it. You’re not going to fool anybody and you’re definitely not going to BS anyone so don’t try.

You know, here it is some 20 years later and I still use this strategy from time to time. Even here in my own market. It’s easy, it’s clean and it’s fast money. I’ve been dealing with a guy for nearly 20 years. We may only do one or two deals per year but when I need to move something quick…he can do it in days. (while I have to bite my tongue and keep myself from screaming…sometimes moving a deal in 24-48 hours is really worth it)

So give this a try and then when you have the time and resources to build your own buyers list you can take that task on.
