Shaun McCloskey’s 9-week intensive webcamp experience is now closed to the public.

Please enjoy the information contained within this blog — there’s a LOT of great education here, free for the taking!

Just scroll through a few of the blog posts and you’ll find some great, great stuff.

And if you’re looking for the best, most comprehensive education on how to build a money-getting preforeclosure real estate investing business, please take a gander at the Short Sale Wealth Academy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ok, first things first. Friend…

The Short Sale Intensive Closes Out TONIGHT!

See that little yellow countdown thingy??? This is your friendly reminder.

So if you haven’t already set aside a few minutes to check it out, size it up and make a decision about it for yourself, then I’d like to challenge you to go ahead and do it now.

The best way (in my opinion) is to just watch the video I made, walking through the members’ area. I spell out everything you need to know in there. You’ll find the video under the 3rd paragraph on this page.

Nevada James Hits Paydirt

Ok, so here’s the final success story we’ve put together, and if you’re new to real estate investing, I think you’ll really enjoy it…

…………… Listen, relate and enjoy.

What’s Inside…

As always, this is just an unscripted, unrehearsed candid conversation where I extract as much as we
can from James’ story, including

• what he did right,
• mistakes he made,
• and what he’d do differently next time.

You may also be interested to know that, while this was James’ first deal ever, he’s already got 9 more short sales lined up as we speak.

I see that a lot actually - it’s like, once you force yourself to muddle through that first deal, suddenly the flood gates just open up.   Something just “clicks” and you realize that you’ve been making this thing WAY harder than it really is.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the interview with James. There are some really neat tips inside you might not want to miss out on. At the very least, I’d suggest you go ahead and download it so you can listen to it later, even if you don’t have time to right now.

Enjoy!

In advance of closing the doors on the short sale intensive, here’s a short list of the goodies we’ve been spoon feeding you over the last few days…

• Success Stories: 6 figures in 6 months? (audio)
  .
• Live Seller Calls: Shaun McCloskey and Joe X (audio)
  .
• Short Sale Essentials: “What in the World?” and “Why the Heck?” (Video)
  .
• Short Sale Essentials Pt 2: What’s Inside the Lender’s Head? (Video)
  .
• Short Sale Essentials Pt 3: Where to Find the Deals (Video)

And the goodies just keep a-comin’

Today, I give you a recording of a live conversation with a chat with loss mitigation (from a cluster of them in the SSI) in which Shaun asks them to postpone the foreclosure sale only 1 day before it happens.

What happens?

…………… Listen, find out, and enjoy.

Yesterday I sent out an email about an impromptu interview we secured with a guy named Jeremy who’s had some impressive results right out of the gate. A real success story.

If you missed the call today, it was a gem. Not only was Jeremy’s success story great to pick apart, but we also had two more folks turn up on the line with similar accounts of recent success — and we got to throw in some off-the-cuff questions from our live listeners.

So here’s the entire replay for you…

…………… Listen and Enjoy.

If you have no idea what this is about really, copied below a copy of the email I sent last night, which explains it for you.

Hope you enjoy this, and please share your feedback and random thoughts on this in the comments below. We’d love to hear ‘em.

…jp

PS…Pay special attention to minute 86 of the audio. There’s a real gem in there. How to instantly build a wholesale buyers list. Dynamite tip.

ORIGINAL EMAIL:

Real quick, I just got off the phone with Shaun (about an hour ago) and we put something really cool together…

It’s a phone call with a guy named Jeremy. Sounds thrilling, no?

I know, I know. Maybe chatting with “Jeremy” doesn’t sound all that enticing. Truth be told, I wouldn’t bat an eye either, except for this email he surprised us with a few days ago…

————————————————–
> “I made $160,000 in less than 6 months using the
> short sale system Shaun taught me!! And I have
> another $45,000 coming in the next month or so!”
>
> -Jeremy Vlasich
> ————————————————–

Ok….

So on that note, we both figured it would proabably be a decent enough idea to chat a little more with Jeremy and dig into some of the details.

Like how he came so far (and made so much) so fast, in his short sale biz. I mean, it happens — but not usually “overnight” like that.

So our call is tomorrow (Wed 4/23) at 1pm EST / 10am PST, and we wanted to give you a chance to be a part of it with us if you can…

At first you’ll just be a “fly on the wall” while we put Jeremy under the proverbial spotlight. Then you’ll have a chance to ask him a few questions of your own.

And let me say, I’m sorry for the late notice on this. But we literally JUST planned this, and this is about as fast as I can get it out to you.

So if you can, you should really try and check this one out. It’s no-cost. Just show up. Hope to “see” you there…

…jp

So…

Ever feel squeamish about handling calls from motivated sellers?

I mean, when it comes down to it, once you put out your “We Buy Houses” type advertising (letters, bandits, or whatever) and the phone starts ringing –

– how good do you really feel about how you handle those calls?

You may want to listen to the audio I’ve got for you below.

It’s a recording of a live call between Shaun McCloskey and a motivated seller lead who responded to his “Time Bomb” preforeclosure mailer

(and actually one of nine such calls contained within the Short Sale Intensive members’ area).

You’ll hear…

• Shaun’s actual conversation with motivated seller “Joe”,
• An honest critique of what went well,
• what he wished he’d done differently,
• and exactly why.

The fact is, many people are petrified by this part of the real estate investing business, or just don’t feel good about how to handle it.

You’ll find Shaun has a unique way of handling these situations in such a way that he puts people right at ease, builds rapport quickly, and quickly uncovers everything he needs to size this thing up and see if it “smells” like a deal or not.

Press play, listen and enjoy…

Ps…Please remember, much of all the complimentary stuff we’re giving away (like this) is to give you a good taste test of what the Short Sale Intensive is like, before we close the doors on 4/30. Check out the video walk-through of the SSI I made for you last week.

But whether or not the SSI is for you, I hope you enjoy all this and will apply it to ehancing your own real estate business.

Pps…Please share your comments re: this audio below…

Truth be told, there’s a good bit more to this video than where to find short sale deals. Such as…

• How to get quick funding for short sale deals
• Simultaneous closings: explained
• How to get short term deal funding by inviting armchair investors into your “private lender program” (what to say specifically)
• And more…

But before you give it a watch, I want to share that I’ve been working for the last 2 days straight on putting together another video — this one giving an inside tour of the Short Sale Intensive members’ area.

Why a video tour?

Because with the SSI membership doors closing to the public in a few days, I’m starting to get a lot of questions. Such as…

• “What all is included in the short sale intensive?”
• “How is this different from Shaun’s home study course?”
• “What’s supposed to be so darn nifty about this Short Sale Intensive thing anyway?”

I figure rather than type out a gazillion responses, all of these Q’s and more can be quickly wrapped up in a tidy little package with a simple walk-through of the the back end.

Once you see what’s inside, you’ll get it.

My video software’s been bugging out. Otherwise I definitely would have had it to you on Monday. But tomorrow’s looking pretty good at this point.

In the meantime, enjoy Shaun’s third “Short Sale Essentials” vid clip here. (And if you need to catch the previous videos as well, just look in previous blog posts - they’re right there.

(and thanks!)

After the “Mr. Fancy Pants” video earlier in the week about Shaun’s $87k lesson, I mentioned we’re going to be putting out a ton of cool, free stuff throughout the month of April. 

I want to kickoff with a couple of really interesting case studies that recently hit my radar –

  1) one with Patavee ($57,019.84 on her first short sale deal)
  2) and another with James ($7,750 on his first ever deal, but also 9 more in the pipeline in a TOTALLY tanked NV market).

I recorded them yesterday, but I still have to edit them.  So in the meantime I thought I’d go ahead and share the first titillating segment from a paid workshop Shaun recently gave called “Short Sale Essentials“.

(Btw, “titillating” is just a fun word, don’t you think? )

So this is the beginning of the titillating workshop, where he covers…

• How and why can ”killing your pride” make you more successful?
• What in the world is a short sale anyway?
• What does a short sale / foreclosure really look like through the lenders’ eyes?
• Why the heck would a lender even consider a short sale? (very specific reasons)
• Judicial Vs. Non-Judicial foreclosure (what is it, and why’s it matter?)
• Why and how understand seeing through the lender’s eyes can give you an edge.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

That should get you started… but keep an eye out for a bunch more really cool free stuff that I’m going to be sending you.  More content videos and those nifty case studies.

Please go ahead and leave a comment below… tell me what you think of Short Sale Essentials: “What in the World?” and “Why the Heck?”…

So yesterday Shaun and I were doing a test run of the webinar software we’re using for the Short Sale Intensive starting this Monday.

A part of the deal for everyone is that we’re providing complimentary archives of each module in the private members’ area, so naturally I had to test out the recording feature as well.

As I was recording the video, I observed as Shaun showed off a little of the “Mindjet” systems blueprint software he’s using for much of his SSI teaching.

I gotta say, I was impressed.  Impressed enough I thought it was worth sharing with you guys.  So I put the short test video up for you, in case you’re interested. 

It’s only 11-ish minutes long, and I think it’ll give you a really neat idea of how systemized Shaun’s approach to all this is.  Just click the image below, and the 11-min video will come up for you to play in a new window.  Enjoy…

Find out…

• Why each person’s automatically getting a complimentary reader-version of the Mindjet software (no cost)…
• How to use it when you feel stuck, unsure of your next step in the short sale process…
• How easily it will streamline your often convoluted SS transaction management process, breaking it down into “point-and-click” simplicity…

I think it’s worth sharing as it testifies to how Shaun excels at simplifying the otherwise complicated. 

Enjoy…

Dear friends,

This blog post is worth reading.  It’s about three things…

1. How to hear a replay of Friday’s 2-hour “Competition Killer” call,
   .
2. Two fast action rewards we just came up with for Tuesday’s launch of our Short Sale Intensive (including an advance manual and personal coaching),
   .
3. How to get an hour’s jump ahead of everyone else (if you’re interested)

So here goes.

Catch the unedited replay of the 2-hour “Competition Killer” teleseminar/webcast…

On Friday afternoon we scheduled a live ltele-workshop at the last minute.  Originally we were going for about an hour, but it quickly turned into two hours. 

You can listen or download the whole thing here right now…  (opens in a new window)

We start off with me explaining some of my key “Competition Killer” strategies in the first hour. Then we spend another full hour doing a “lightning round” of short sale questions and answers. 

I felt it was really a great call and I think anyone who doesn’t feel like they got a lot of really great information out of it isn’t really listening!

We talk about:

• A powerful story I always tell sellers to help set clear expectations from the start, while firmly ensuring they realize it’s in their best interest to work with me (instead of his competition)
  .
• An explanation of my “$20k sheet of paper“ that reduces the intimidating short sale process down to a few simple pictures, and instantly sets me head and shoulders above everyone else in their mind.
  .
• An in-depth explanation of the power of “mirroring” and “modeling” and specifically how to use them to build huge rapport with sellers.

So go get it here…  (opens in new window)

Unique rewards for taking action this Tuesday…

I was chatting with JP yesterday about a bootcamp I recently attended and one of the speakers’ that left a real impression on me (remember, I spend thousands annually on my own education).

There were more than a few great take-aways from his presentation, but one of the most impacting to me was a commanding reminder of one of the most prevailing traits of successful people across the board:

The ability to face obstacles head on, assess options quickly, and take bold, decisive action.

This is a truism I’ve experiences in my own life and witnessed time and time again in others around me. 

But it’s also one of those things I can lose sight of all too easily, finding myself once again all wrapped up in my own “inner demons” of doubt and fear of making mistakes.

Shame on me!  It was more than a little refreshing to be so firmly reminded of the sheer power of taking action.

So as we move into the 8-week Short Sale Intensive webcast series, I’ve been considering how I might reinforce this axiom to our participants.  I’ve decided to create a bit of a reward system for those who are able to be decisive and take bold action this Tuesday, Sept 11th.

1. For the first 25 people…

   After we complete the 9-week SSI webcamp, I’ll be releasing my product to the rest of the world (outside FlippingHomes.com).  I’m also considering starting a personal coaching program. 

   After we complete the 8-week SSI webcamp, I’ll be releasing my product to the rest of the world (outside FlippingHomes.com).  I’m also planning to begin a personal coaching program. 

   Now I know short sales like I know my own face in the mirror, but coaching will be a little new to me and I’ve been thinking I need some BETA testers to help me “work out the kinks” initially. 

   So “fast action reward” number 1 is for the first 25 people who register for the SSI.  You will be invited to participate with me as a BETA tester for 60 days at no cost.

   Basically I’ll be coaching you for free for 60-days, as you build your own short sale business based on the SSI/SSW principals.  I’ll be looking to you for candid feedback on how I can tweak things as a coach.  We both win.

   .

2. For the first 100 people…

   Every SSI participant will get a complete copy of my course when production is finished with the fulfillment company.  Right now I estimate that will be within 30 days, during the SSI event. Ideally everyone would have a copy of the manual in advance, but I just can’t make it happen. 

   However I have ordered 100 advance copies of the 650+ page manual itself.  So for the first 100 folks who register for the SSI, I’ll gladly ship you one of the advance copies.  That way you’ll have it in your hands before or right as I begin teaching on the webcamp series. 

   But I only pre-ordered 100 manuals, so that’s the limit of what I can offer to the SSI early movers.  These folks will of course also get the rest of the material (DVDs, CDs, etc.) as soon as it’s ready. 

   Sorry, I wish I could do this for everyone.  But registrant #101 and beyond will still get all the content, but will have to wait a few weeks for it to be ready.

How to get a jump on everyone else…

I was talking to JP, and we decided to come up with a way to let you get a jump on everyone else if you’re seriously interested in either (or both) of these rewards.

So we’ve decided to create an “early notification” list.  All you have to do is enter your first name and primary email into the fields below here, then click the “Yes, please notify me 1 hour early!” button.

This does NOT obligate you to purchase anything or even participate in the event at all.  It just puts you on a short list of folks who will receive a one-hour jump ahead of everyone else.

In other words, SSI registration opens on 9/11 at 3pm EST (Noon PST).  But if you’re on the “early notification” list, you’ll get an email an hour ahead of time (2pm EST / 11am PST) with a private link to go ahead and reserve your spot.

As I said, the idea here is just to provide a way for me to reward those who embrace the idea that taking bold, decisive action is a success characteristic.

Hope to see you on the list!

-Shaun McCloskey
