Wholesaling University Blog Post - FOCUS

yinyang.jpeg"The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise." Robert Fritz

Join Me and MY personal coach, Rich Fettke, on a great call today at 2pm Eastern. See all details below!!

There are some amazing sports performances this year. I am always inspired when I watch people preform on that level. In that spirit, I filmed my own little diddy. No not a "double cork" flip in the snowboard half pipe but a First Walk Through. Yes that's right the every illusive initial property walk through. Did I win a GOLD, you decide. Enjoy.

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Important

                   As we start the 2nd month of this year, 2010, I remind everyone to revisit their goals!!

GoalSettingLogo-WEB-big.jpg
I just completed a BIG one of mine, an 8 month process, obtaining my California Brokers license.
I begin course material in June or 2009, finished all the courses in early January 2010 and passed my test just this last Wednesday, February 3 2010. Today I feel fantastic. I share that with everyone 1) because I an excited and 2) I want everyone to understand the power of GOAL SETTING.


Here is a great excerpt from the book
"The Diamond Cutter" that I am reading. I found it very interesting, motivating and challenging at the same time. I believe if you do these things, you will put yourself down the path of success. The author, Geshe Michael Roach is discussing imprints on the mind.......

                                                                            goal-setting-sun.jpg

          1) In Order to see yourself do well in business and prosper financially, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by
               maintaining a generous state of mind.
          2) In order to see yourself in a world which is just generally a very happy place, plant imprints for this in your subconscious
              by maintaining a very ethical way of life.
          3) In to see yourself as physically healthy and attractive, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by refusing ever to get
              angry.
          4) In order to see yourself as a leader in both your personal life and in business, plant imprints for this in your subconscious
              by taking joy in constructive and helpful actions.
          5) In order to see yourself able to focus your mind steadily, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by practicing deep
              states of concentration, or meditation.
          6) In order to see yourself freed from a world where things don't work the way you want them to, plant imprints for this in
              your subconscious by learning the principals of hidden potential and mental imprints.
          7) In order to see yourself get all you ever wished for, and see others get all they ever wished for as well, plant imprints for
               this in your subconscious be cultivating an attitude of compassion towards others.

It is a very interesting book that uses teaching from Buddha and Tibetan wisdom to show you how to manage your life and business.

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Saturday Morning "Flip This House" Marathon

thanandpaul.jpg

Join Paul, Than, myself and the whole team tomorrow for a great line up of "Flip This House" shows. We have 4 great projects to highlight tomorrow so sit back, relax and enjoy! Click Here For More Information On TV Show Times




875elm.png43 - Elm Street Nightmare

Saturday, January 30 11:00am ET

The crew at CT Homes decides it's time to flip two multi-family Victorians on Elm Street which they own as rental units. The beautiful homes situated in one of New Haven's historical landmark neighborhoods near Yale should turn a hefty profit, but they need to be improved before they can be sold. It's competition time as Paul and Than square off against JD and Jeremy to see who can do the best flip and make the most profit. The two teams differ in every area, from budget to design. Will JD and Jeremy's motto of "flip it fast and flip it cheap" hold up against the more conservative Paul and Than who believe that more time and more money makes for a better flip?


shultas.jpg62 - Hartford Headache

Saturday, January 30 12:00pm ET

Than heads to Hartford to capitalize on a flip gone wrong. A flipper has foreclosed on a three family building in one of Hartford's up and coming neighborhoods and the project was left unfinished. The team has already secured a buyer and their newest acquisition is looking like it will result in a big profit and an easy rehab. But after settling on a price, Paul and JD discover that this project won't be as easy as it looks. Turns out this is a classic case of mortgage fraud--all of the previous owner's "renovations" are revealed to be superficial. The problems keep adding up from a bee infestation to a complete plumbing overhaul. JD will have his hands full trying to deal with this "Hartford Headache."


265Helen.gif

38 - Pipe Dreams

Saturday, January 30 2:00pm ET

Jeremy gets a great lead on a run-down 3 bedroom colonial in Hamden, CT and vows to turn the property into the "pride of Hamden." This lofty goal hits an immediate snag when the team discovers that the previous tenants left the home full of their junk. JD's quick thinking turns lemons into lemonade when he decides to hold a yard sale. Back on track the team encounters a larger problem--steam pipes are blocking a planned expansion of the kitchen. Pipe problems are just the beginning as the guys rush to finish the project in time and on budget. Will Than and his team be able to come out on top with this flip or is it just another pipe dream?

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Flip This House Update for Saturday

thanandpaul.jpg49 - Than's Bargain Buy

Saturday, January 16 11:00am ET

As the market continues its downward spiral, Than and Joe find an opportunity--an overleveraged house heading into foreclosure. The bank is eager to unload their money pit and agrees to a short sale that allows Than to buy the place for less than the amount owed.Than's bargain quickly becomes Paul and JD's headache. The house has been home to squatters who trashed the place, then stole the valuable copper piping out of the walls. The neighborhood, while in transition, has a long way to go. Securing the job site becomes an issue when an intruder goes after the brand new plumbing. A Nor'easter sweeps through New Haven holding up work, and just when the sun starts shining, Paul has to deal with an unsettled lead lien--which may or may not cost them a fortune.

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Tonight Change Your Business Forever

Hello All

Tonight, I am going to put an extra $12,000 dollars back into your pocket.

I'm dead serious...and here's how....

cash money.jpg
At 9:00 PM Eastern we are having a webinar on how to get access to a list of all Nationwide Cash Buyers. (These are people around the country who have bought properties for ALL CASH over the past few months.)

Register here to be the FIRST group of people to see this opportunity:
Click Here To Register For The Webinar & Learn Full Details!

Let's cut to the chase. How is this going to benefit you as a Real Estate Investor?

1. Instant Buyers List: You will instantly have a list of the most qualified buyers in your area and nationwide. These are people that actually have money and don't have to use a bank to buy your real estate deals!

2. No Real Estate Commissions Paid Out: Think about it this way. Are you going to sell a home over the course of the next couple years? Yes, of course! If you use a Realtor to sell ONE home valued at $200,000 dollars it will cost you $12,000 dollars of your profit. However, if YOU sell the home to a "Cash Buyer" it won't cost you a dime. (Do the math if you sell more than one home!)
Register here because you know this webinar is going to make your life easier:
Click Here To Register For The Webinar & Learn Full Details!

3. REO Flipping Now Possible:
Flipping REO's is not easy. Period. The reason is because you have a short time period to control the property, find a buyer, and if your buyer needs to get a loan. Forget about it...headaches, deal falls apart, you go bald from stress. Not if you sell to a "Cash Buyer" who can close in 3 to 7 days.

4. Pre-Foreclosures/Short Sales & Title Seasoning: Big problem solved. If you work in this niche of real estate the toughest part of every transaction is getting the deal closed when you are selling the property to another buyer with a bank loan. With a "Cash Buyer" there is no seasoning requirements or hassles.

5. Deals Falling Apart:
Over the past few years we have plenty of deals that fell apart at the last minute because the buyers financing got pulled at the last minute. Well, with a "Cash Buyer" you don't have this problem.
Register now....it is tonight at 9:00 PM Eastern:
Click Here To Register For The Webinar & Learn Full Details!

See you on the webinar! Get ready because it is going to be one heck of a party!

Than Merrill & The FortuneBuilders Team

P.S. We already have over 2500 people registered. I had to set up 3 accounts for tonight's webinar...insane! That's because this is the first time this list is accessible to the public.

Wholesaling University Blog Post - New Year, New Goal, New Rewards

As we begin the first week of 2010, we at FortuneBuilders and WholsalingU encourage you to take a moment tonight to Set Your Goals!

year-2010.jpgIt can sometimes be challenging but just sit down and start writing...I guarantee you will be surprised how quickly they come out. For me it was always an internal issue of "what if I don't reach them...am I a failure" That is of course not true and it took me some time to realize it. Understand that if you set goals and work towards them in 2010, at the end of the year you will be in a better place than if you did not set any at all.

Here is an article that Than found that may help! HOW TO: Do Almost Anything Online in 2010


We have also posted some great NEW Training Classes for the month of January and February! Check them out!!

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Rehab Knowledge Is Key

As we begin the new year, we are going to be training on all kinds of NEW TOPICS. Many members have requested that we cover some more rehab topics and that is exactly what we are going to do. Remember that I personally read all requests and so it is IMPORTANT that you stay active inside Wholesaling University. That being said, I will be posting a bunch of NEW classes in the calendar section so stay tuned. The first of which will be a training I do on "Locating and Pre-screening Quality Contractors".

Check out the video update below and understand that we will be making well over $100,000 in profit because we know how to rehab and were to find good quality contractors to do the work. Enjoy the update and stay tuned for the finished product in about 10 days.

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Goal Setting

"We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared." Mary Kay Ash

GoalSettingLogo-WEB-big.jpgWith 3 days left in 2009, NOW is a good time to look forward to 2010!! Start by setting your goals for the new year and don't be afraid to set them high. Even if you do not reach them all....you will still be further along than if you did not set them at all.

Another great idea that I have been working on with my personal coach is to create a Doctrine, if you will, for "How I Want To Operate" in 2010. Think of it this way, how do you want to honor yourself, your goals, those around you, the environment, etc., etc. This will give you a blueprint for your success in the coming year. I am creating mine this week and I encourage you to do the same.

Cheers to A Great New Year!

On behalf of all of us here at the WholesalingU and FortuneBuilders.com Team, we'd like to wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy Holiday season.  As 2009 comes to an end, this week is a great opportunity to relax, enjoy time with your family, reflect on the past year and gear up for an even better 2010! 

We will not be holding a new training this week in the University, but we did want to give you a special Holiday gift...it's very valuable content you should definitely take some time to check out.  During JD's recent Webinar "SOLD Rehab Case Study - How To Pre Sell All Your Deals!" JD showed you how we got our latest rehab (a Single family, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom Spanish/Mission Style home) PRE-SOLD allowing us to close on the property as soon as the finishing touches were complete!  Below we've included the BRAND NEW "Scope Of Work" where you can see a detailed breakout of the Rehab Project itself!  Check out the Scope Of Work on this property:

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Goals

goal-setting-sun.jpg"It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. It lies in having no goal to reach. It is not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace not to have any stars to reach. Not failure, but low aim, is the real sin."  Benjamin Mays

As we near the end of 2009, everyone at WholesalingU wants to continue to encourage everyone to set GOALS for 2010. The best way to achieve your goals... is to first set them.

I was reminded today, again, how precious life really is as my uncle had to go to the hospital. He will be ok, thankfully, but I have spent the reminder of the day thinking about life. Start living today!!

Wholesaling University Blog Post - Friday..."Done"

                   "The Best Way To Predict The Future....Is To Create It" 
A.L.

My Dad emailed me this quote this morning and I have been thinking about it all day. This is so true! Consider this as you are starting your weekend and when you sit down to plan for 2010.

Join us tomorrow morning for another cool episode of "Flip This House"

thanandpaul.jpg47 - A Well of a Tale

Saturday, December 5 12:00pm ET

The gang at CT Homes has found another diamond in the rough, a run-down colonial in an up-and-coming working-class neighborhood near downtown New Haven. Both Than and Paul see the potential in this property but as the flip begins, one huge problem emerges that threatens to shut down the whole flip: the water supply for the house comes from a well on the property and connecting the house to the city water line will be a major hurdle to overcome. Add to this fire damage that extends to the eaves of the attic and the presence of lead paint in the garage. The flippers at CT Homes have their work cut out for them.
