A Real Estate Investors Magical Marketing Elixir
Posted on July 23, 2012 byI was like any other investor, I did the best with what I knew and when I knew better, I did better. I used to find my properties by searching for them on the internet or hiring a Realtor to scout the local market for good deals. I remember the very first creative financing property I bought was so dirty we had to set up a tent in the master bedroom just to save us from the bugs. The deals I got were normal deals. Somebody would find me a deal, I would fix it, and I would wait for somebody else would sell it. My marketing efforts were not bold by any means, but worked fairly well for some time.
Then I heard about motivated sellers. Apparently, there were loads of people who needed help. These were folks who couldn’t deal with their obligations anymore and would give me their properties for free Or even pay me to take them. He told me that these sellers didn’t care about money anymore. All that all they wanted was for someone to solve their problems. All I needed was television commercials, large scale print advertising, and other expensive forms of marketing to find them.
It sounded too good to be true. Besides, My marketing budget was $0. I certainly couldn’t afford to pay for commercials or billboard advertising. I heard of franchise companies that investors had to pay dearly and spend copious amounts of time buying property. I thought of my quality of life. I knew there had to be a better way. If only I could figure out how… Read More→

Let The Best Deals Find You
Posted on July 21, 2012 byI’m coming to your city next weekend for 1 Purpose and 1 Purpose Only … to put more money into your bank account by saving you tens-of-thousands in needless marketing costs. When I leave, you will know how to get sellers who’ll crawl over broken glass to sell their homes regardless of your credit or financial situation.
Have You Ever Wondered How Millionaire Investors Find the Best Deals? Well, I have news for you! Contrary to popular belief; Millionaire Investors don’t find deals. The Best Deals find THEM.
Do You Want Killer Deals? …Real Estate for 10 cents on the dollar?
On Saturday, I’m going to teach you; “51 Ways for Motivated Sellers to Find YOU.”
Many investors who are just getting started ask the question, “How are experienced investors finding such profitable deals?” Other investors are doing deals and haven’t spent the copious amounts of capital that it takes to try-out all the various marketing strategies, let alone master which marketing strategies work best.
“Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.”
-Mark Twain
Who should focus On Marketing?
- A beginner… Needs to know how to find profitable deals
- An Intermediate… Needs more ways to find profitable deals
- An Experienced Investor… Has to keep up with the NEW strategies.
- … the answer: (All Business Owners)
I’m going to train you; The Best, Easiest, Cheapest, and Safest ways to market your real estate investing business. “Over 51 Ways to Build Your Real Estate Portfolio Now!”
- Best – Get Response Rates so High from Your Marketing that Professional Marketers simply won’t believe you.
- Easiest– A kid can do it. Literally. I’ve used high school & middle school kids to do some of the most profitable strategies.
- Cheapest – Strategies that cost less than a dollar & make your phone ring off the hook.
- Safest– How to Stay Legal with Your Marketing & Make your business invisible to code enforcement.
Learning Marketing didn’t come easy for me. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have someone teach me. I had to learn marketing the old-fashioned way. I used trial and error. Learning which forms of marketing provide massive results and which forms cost thousands with no guarantees is extremely valuable experience & knowledge for real estate investors. Through my ups and downs, I have found truly amazing forms of marketing that easily deliver unimaginable response rates for pennies-on-the-dollar. Read More→
Would You Like To Stop Foreclousre, Settle Your Overleveraged Mortgage and Get a Free and Clear House?
Posted on July 21, 2012 byDear Fellow Real Estate Investor,
Do you know a homeowner who can answer yes to any of these questions:
- You are at risk of losing your home and other properties
- You are running out of money to pay your loans
- Adjustable interest payments increasing soon
- Have sellers calling you facing foreclosure
- Short sales too long and frustrating, not big enough discounts
- Loan Mods not working, still owe too much
- In over your head and want an easy way of the mess
- Facing foreclosure? Want a new way to stop it that actually works?
Look, its not your fault. This economy is the result of a deliberately orchestrated financial time bomb. And you are left holding the bag while the elite “banksters” in their corporate jets and yachts are laughing… well… all the way to the bank.
But there is a secret “Achilles heel” to the bankers. It gets them pale as a ghost. Ever heard of Regulation Z? Well, its just one of the amazing laws that let you beat the banks at their own game.
And we on Tuesday July 24, 2012 at 7:00 PM ET, on a special webcast, we will reveal a “secret source” system that at no upfront cost to you, will scan your mortgage documents for violations that turn the tables on the banks: Read More→
Atlanta REIA West Meeting with Cash Flow Tom Boyer on July 23, 2012
Posted on July 21, 2012 bywith “Cash Flow” Tom Boyer
It’s no secret that there’s no better time in history to buy real estate than right now. Deals are abundant and many sellers are now open to owner financing. And there is certainly no shortage of buyers who want to take advantage of lease purchase and owner finance deals in today’s market conditions. All this sounds very exciting and great opportunity exists for those who know how to work the numbers and structure deals to work in their favor. Are you among the enterprising elite who know how to do this to create win-win situations for all parties involved?
Maybe you’ve wondered how the bank figures out the monthly payment on your mortgages or other loans. Are you just getting started in the real estate game, finding words like amortization and PITI have you a little intimidated and confused? Maybe you’re just now getting back into real estate investing, so some time has passed since you’ve run numbers with your financial calculator. A good overview and quick refresher course would be great to hone your skills as you get back in the game.
Join us at the Atlanta REIA West Monthly Meeting on Monday, July 23rd at 6:30 PM at the Cherokee Cattle Company in Marietta, GA as we bring “Cash Flow” Tom Boyer for an evening of enlightening education and fun as you learn. Cash Flow Tom will be sharing in very simple language and easy to follow steps how to use a financial calculator to figure out the numbers you need to know to be successful in this business.
He’ll run through scenarios and examples of deals and show you how to calculate and run the numbers on them. He’ll take the time to explain the most common financial buzzwords and what they mean for us as investors. He’ll also answer questions you have on these and related topics. You’ll leave this evening feeling confident and equipped to go out and get your piece of this amazing real estate pie! This is surely one evening you won’t want to miss—see you there!
*Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their financial calculators and pen and paper in order to get the most out of this evening’s presentation. We also invite attendees to bring a note to analyze (NOT a property), so you can see exactly what goes in to figuring the numbers on that note.
Heat of the Summer Admission Special — Members, bring up to 2 guests for FREE! Non-members just $5, and you can bring a guest for FREE! As always, admission is FREE with your Atlanta REIA Membership. See you Monday evening! Read More→

POSTPONED: Will Reschedule ASAP – On Tuesday, July 24th at 7PM we have an exciting webinar for you that will spill the beans on a done-for-you killer tactic to turn the tables on any bank and convert a mortgage mess into a pile of cash.
Hi, my name is Stefan Kasian and I am an ex-Wall Street insider – turned real estate investor with nearly 2 decades of real-world in-the-trenches real estate and deal making experience that I will share with you on how you can put the latest dirt on the banking scandals that keep hitting the news daily—to work for you.
Its starting to catch on: many homeowners and investors around the country are fighting back at the banks for their abuses. Maybe the mortgage broker or bank screwed you, and your interest rate isn’t what they promised.
Maybe the bank promised you a loan mod but not you are facing foreclosure. Or maybe you are still current but the market moved against you or someone you know and now you are saddled with debt but you want to do the right thing.
In this rare once-only webinar on Tuesday, July 24th at 7PM, I will have a very special friend who will teach you a revolutionary secret that is silently changing the real estate world forever.
- This process works on any types of properties, residential or commercial, current or past due.
- A simple “litmus-test” to see if your property qualifies based on common banking violations. Hint: it’s not the violations you think—often these are behind the scenes but we show you how to find out anyway.
- This killer strategies Can work on investment properties or residences, or if you are an investor, it can work on your seller’s property too.
- Why most “forensic loan audits” are a waste of your money unless you have this “missing step”.
- Stop foreclosure for 36+ months and counting…and keep your home…it’s done for you—real live testimonial proves how its done.
- Imagine the boost in your cash flow when you settle your mortgages for pennies, at a fraction of interest rate you are paying. No loan mods, no refis, no credit checks.
- How folks just like you went from a mortgage mess of a property to a bona fide “FREE AND CLEAR” house: the hype, the risks, and true facts.
And this is not risky, pie-in-the-sky stuff. This is a solid lawful process done every day behind the scenes, special deals being made with banks you won’t hear on the news. It’s just starting to hit the investor world—be among the privileged few who will have the know how to turn deals other investors snub into amazing cash cows.
And best of all, there is no upfront charge to get started.
Please click here to Register for this FREE Webcast! Be sure to plug in this date, Tuesday, July 24th at 7PM, into your calendar and dial in a little early since we only have a limited number of lines. The first 17 who join us will get a special gift valued at $600.00. Join us to make your 2012 financial dreams come true! Your economic survival and prosperity depends on this call.
