I say, your sister thought I’m an actor? Me? Now that’s funny (lol).

No (I’m sorry to say), I’m not an actor. I can relate to the skeptic part but I’m just a Sarasota Realtor trying to rebuild a real estate business that fell off the cliff when the market crashed.

I was ready to give up on real estate. I was working harder than ever before and not helping anyone…and not getting paid for my hard work.

In my mind, Nathan’s system is the ONLY way to work short sales. You’re right about the $500 upfront fee. I don’t know what the $200 /month fee is…to my knowledge, there is no recurring fee.

My guess, Gloria, is that most people buying Nathan’s course never use it. They think they’ll buy a course and the money will roll in with no work. It doesn’t work that way, does it? Short sales are here for months to come. One completed short sale nets $10,000 (or more).

In my mind, that’s a great ROI. What I was doing before was NOT working and I watch helplessly as sellers lost their homes. I couldn’t help them.

Every day, I see realtors who THINK they know how to work short sales. Their ignorance and pride actually HURT sellers, whom they’re trying to help.

If you are going to try to help people avoid foreclosure, at least get the knowledge first, whether you get it free from someone who knows or you pay for someone’s training. The choice is yours.

Thanks for emailing me. If you have any specific questions, please ask. I’ll be glad to try to help.

I saw your vidio with Nate Yesterday.
I told my sister about it during our evening walk. She is such a skeptic. She said, he’s probably an actor. So I looked you up on the web and here you are.

I am not in any business and have no education to speek of.
I would like to now how much do you have to spend before you get anything back and how long would that take?

They say it cost nothing to get started. I say, it costs $500 for the course and almost $200 a month after the first for the program. If it takes three or four months to get a short sale through the pipeline then that could cost you over $1100 before you see a dime come back to you.

What say you?

Good to hear from you. What “system” are you using to help people avoid foreclosure? Are you taking any listings with more than one lender? I’m finding that 2nds are getting more difficult to work with…unless you have the same lender. What’s your experience? And 2nds are quick to sell or transfer servicing, putting these decisions into the hands of debt collectors who will tell you $4,000 one day & $24,000 the next day…but nothing in writing. Damn debt collectors.

In what market are you working?

Let’s talk by phone & compare notes. In today’s market, those of us willing to do something different must help each other.

Cheers,
Mike

any news? How is the system working for you?
I am listing more and more short sale – not my favorites but the market is changing and we had to evolve with it before it gets better.

Keep me posted on your tips and ways it’s working for you.

Have a great day!

If you’re expecting me to tell you I exploded my bank account last month or this month, that is not the case. Here’s what I’ve done since I met with Nathan and walked away with the “keys to the kingdom.”

1. I took time to understand the complete system! This is important to avoid serious mistakes while trying to help sellers in distress.
2. I have worked to “undue” some mistakes I made with current short sale files. You see, you simply must do it “the right way” at the beginning or you face delays, frustration & lots of work for NO payment (reward). Believe me when I say, it’s not fun to work for months on a file only to have it go DOA.
3. I assembled a team. Don’t even think about doing this on your own. You might actually make money, but you will burn yourself into the ground.
4. I spent way too much time trying to defend this system to Horizon Realty’s broker Matt Augustyniak. Unfortunately, Matt could not understand how this system really can (& does) help SELLERS, BUYERS & REALTORS much, much better than the failed methods most realtors try. He thinks this system uses greedy real estate investors to push desperate homeowners into foreclosure. Yes, I wasted much time. Oh well. Now, I have the opportunity to work with a broker who embraces LEGAL & ETHICAL strategies for helping people beyond the failed strategies. Fortunately, I have found three such brokers from which I’ll pick one. IMPORTANT: If you’re a realtor, do not waste time trying to convince a reluctant broker of something new and effective. If your broker cannot/will not wrap his/her brain around the concept, study all aspects of the paperwork & confirm with experts that everything is LEGAL, leave immediately. Don’t repeat my mistake. Surround yourself with people who are doers and students. On the bright side, Matt helped me out four years ago when my previous broker disappeared, leaving us agents without a wall on which to hang our license. Matt stayed late to process my application. I still am grateful for that consideration. Simply, I must move on to bigger and better opportunities with people who understand this system.

Jose, once you fully understand the system, get your team together & create your systemic plan you are ready to roll. I had said if I simply could find a secret for helping me with the process, the money paid for the “system” would be WELL worth the price. Instead of one secret, I have discovered a miracle.

Already, 2 closings have paid me more in commission than I made in RE commission in all of 2008. To me, that is Un-Frickin-Be-Liev-Able!

And this is just the beginning.

I will own my local market, as I’m eager to help sellers, buyers and realtors. I’m begun letting realtors know that instead of banging their heads against the wall trying to push a short sale through I will pay them a referral fee (compared to ZERO for working hard and losing the listing to foreclosure) & they don’t have to lift a finger.

This is one way for realtors to jumpstart their business…very quickly while building that lead generation pipeline.

Nope, I didn’t deposit $119,568.00 into my bank account last month, Jose. I built my foundation. To me, that’s more valuable, as I will be around for a LONG time to come…just as short sales are not going away.

Jose (and others), get started TODAY! Do not put off building your team based on this system. The system is GREAT! I cannot wait to record another video for Chris & Nathan. This time, my video will show just how grateful I am to them for giving me HOPE.

Thanks, Jose, for stopping by. Now, what are you doing with short sales? Are you a Realtor…a mortgage pro…someone who wants to help and earn from this opportunity?

Hope you stop back. I want to hear more about your interest and experience in shorts.

Mike

I’ve seen your video and read your blog about shortsalesriches.com, could you give us an update on how successful you have being with this course,how much your shortsale business has increased,# of closed deals you’ve accomplished because of this course etc…..

Your insight would be greatly appreciated

Jose

My experience is that banks require photo identification to withdraw.

The Patriot Act also slows down (to review & confirm) a >10k deposit.

Apparently, none of this happened with you.

Seriously, I don’t follow your “story.” Somebody deposits 10k. Then somebody (presumably the same person) turns around & withdraws 10k from your account.

Now you have a “debt”???? For what?

Please help me understand something I’m missing about your situation.

Thanks for commenting,
Mike

Happy Holidays to you & yours!

My question pertains to Identity Theft. Recently someone deposited fraudulent checks in my bank account and withdrew cash to the tune of 10K. Now the Bank (originally-WAMU-now Chase) is charging me the $10K. How do I go about clearing this debt and my name as well. In addition, how do I prevent future incidents of Identity Theft?

Blessings,
I.P.

I’m going to share a little bit here, but I want you to email me at mike(at)fixmyuglycredit(dot)com. I want to talk with you. Before I found Short Sale Riches, I was desperately searching for answers to resurrect my comatose real estate business.

I didn’t care (and still don’t care) to get “rich.” I wanted to get paid for my hard hard while helping people suffering through a foreclosure.

Here’s the bottom line, Angelique: This program works because you don’t just take a listing and wait for a buyer to throw you an offer (which is what realtors do…which is what I did).

I’d take a listing, try to figure out how to price it & throw it onto the MLS along with a gazillion other short sale listings.

I’d then shoot out those flyers ($$$$) and get heat from my broker to buy ads in HIS magazine.

You see, I had nothing…and I mean NOTHING…to lose when I emailed these “riches” guys and accepted their invitation to stand behind the curtain to see what they’re really doing.

Before I even had purchased the course, I left that meeting with Nathan (after 6 and one-half hours) knowing more about short sales than I could’ve expected:

1. I knew how to price shorts to attract real buyers.
2. I knew how to get a buyer IMMEDIATELY! Angelique, this is HUGE….
3. I knew how to minimize the bad BPO agents from screwing up the value. Wow, a successful short sale lives & dies by the BPO. Inside their course, they explain step-by-step what the BPO is and how to use “jedi mind tricks” to get the number you need. Stop right here, Angelique. If you get nothing more than this, this is 100x more valuable than the fee for their course, which by the way comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. You have nothing to lose than the time you invest to study it.
4. I knew what paperwork to use and how to avoid having to chase down a seller who’s moved out and left me to try to find him for initials, etc. Arrgh!

This is not taking some “bait.” I took the bait for you and want to help my colleagues…the good ones that is who want to help people.

To the greedy Realtors who care only about padding their own pockets and screwing up BPOs just to collect your $55.00-$85.00 BPO fee, you can burn in hell for all I care.

I’m not going to go off on that tangent, Angelique, but you know all about the back-stabbing, unethical “REALTORS” who proudly strut around pretending to be ethical.

Last night I was on a webinar with these guys telling about my day spent with Nathan. Earlier that day, a Realtor in my area called me about that YouTube vid. He thought the video was a marketing ploy…some setup. You see, I’m not the only one who is skeptical

The only way to help move this massive inventory of pre-foreclosures and REOs is to discover these secrets and then take ACTION. Would you believe a few days ago, Nathan attended a NAR or FAR convention and tried to give away to Realtors his free report and couldn’t get Realtors to take something FREE?

This is exactly why there’s no competition for short sale listing/selling success using their system. No matter what, most Realtors (who are still around that is) will never learn new tricks. They already know everything they need to know.

Email me for my phone number if you have more questions.
