The other night we had the opportunity to interview a very successful real estate investor based out of Miami, FL by the name of Alex Pardo.

Alex flips 3-4 REOs each and every month, and makes an average profit of $6,000 per flip.  But the best part of his business is how interns are helping him flip these properties and grow his business.

Listen in on this interview as Alex tells all about how he finds, hires and manages his interns, and how they have helped him grow his business, systematize it, and enable him to work less, while still making more money:

This past Tuesday night I held my Foreclosure Master’s Coaching Club monthly call.  For only $7.95 to get started (and then a measly $49.95 per month thereafter) there’s no question that it’s the best value for those looking for help with their real estate investing business.  On Tuesday’s call I reviewed my day, which consisted of:

1. A BPO for another short sale deal that we’re working on, where I met the appraiser (who was actually a W2 salaried employee of Bank of America) who told me that my offer price of $460,000 “sounds about right for this property” (SMILE!).  During Tuesday night’s call I also reviewed some basic but important things that you have to do ANYTIME you go on a BPO appointment.

2. The fact that we closed on a half million dollar condo in La Jolla, CA, and to close the deal I came out of pocket $30. This is a renovation/flip deal in which I have a partner on the deal.

3. LIVE Q&A and answering of questions by people (note that if you want to join my Foreclosure Masters Coaching Club, you get to chat with me live, 1-on-1 about your real estate investing business. This is the last time I’ll mention it’s only $49.95 per month. You can get a trial membership for only $7.95 here: www.BestForeclosureSystem.com/oto)

I decided to post the audio replay to the this month’s coaching call, because it was full of great information, and I want you to see how you can personally get on the phone with me once a month and get your real estate investing questions answered.  You can listen to this month’s training call here.

On the coaching call this past Tuesday night I outlined (VERY QUICKLY) how we structured the La Jolla deal, and then answered a few questions. However it dawned on me that a LOT of people in our community (even the ones who aren’t in my Foreclosure Masters Coaching club) might want to learn more about how this deal was structured, and how I can close on a $500,000 property with only $30 out of pocket (and NOT flip it right away, but hold it so we can do the renovations and make a $125,000-140,000 profit on the backend).

Oh yeah, and I’m not doing ANY of the work related to the rehab (my partner is doing it ALL).

So what I’m going to do is host a special teleseminar (audio only) next week to break down this deal.

Here’s what we’re going to cover on this special “Case Study” teleseminar:

- You’ll get to meet the person who FLIPPED the deal to me.  (I was actually the “CASH” or “C” buyer on this deal).
- He’s going to break down how he found it, how he negotiated it, and how he flipped it to me.
– He’ll share with you why I was the PERFECT buyer for this deal.
- I’ll share with you how I got the cash for this deal (hint: private money).
– I’ll tell you how I structured the deal so I only had to put $30 into it.
- I’ll let you know how I structured the partnership with the person who is going to do 100% of the rehab work on the property.
– I’ll share with you some killer resources and ideas for how you can raise private money (for your own deals).
- I’ll talk about how having access to private money TOTALLY changes the way you can approach real estate investing, making offers, and closing on deals that you never could have in the past.

All of the call-in details can be found here: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=18763446

Make sure to add this to your calendar. You can put questions in the chat box on the teleseminar page, and we’ll also take LIVE Q&A questions about how we structured this deal on the call as well. Go here now to get all of the details on this free, live, “case study” training call: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=18763446

Last night I held the first ever “Short Sale Approval System” training teleseminar. Hundreds of people joined us as we reviewed how you can get tons of short sales approved, in writing, in 30 days, guaranteed!

I am posting the replay to the audio below, but before I do that, i want to make some important clarifications about last night’s call:

1. I kept telling everyone that the correct email address to send your deals to for evaluation was leads AT ShortSaleApprovalSystem.com. That was INCORRECT! The CORRECT email address is deals AT ShortSaleApprovalSystem.com. As you can see, I was suffering from a mild form of dyslexia last night…LOL.

I have corrected the email address so that moving forward, BOTH email addresses work. However, if you sent in a deal last night within the first two hours, please RESEND the email.

2. Many people on the call were asking about “what about if there’s 2+ mortgages on the property. In that instance, as long as it’s a “mix and match” of the lenders (listed below) we can handle them. In the case where only the 1st (but not junior) lien is with one of the lenders listed below, we can still work it, but you’ll have to work on the 2nd mortgage yourself. IMHO, the best thing to do is to stick with files that only have 1 lender, or if 2 lenders, it’s a combination of those below.

3. In the training I reference “the snake”. We’re taking part in a pilot program for this lender on Monday (we’re picking up 2 new deals tomorrow). I’ll let you know as soon as this is ready for public consumption, hopefully very soon.

Okay, here is the audio so you can listen (again). Also, below the audio, I’m going to a “matrix” showing you each lender, and their requirements. You need to listen to the call in detail to understand the matrix below. Please don’t send in any deals without first listening to the call below.

Great news for all short sale investors: FHA just announced that they are NO LONGER requiring 90 day seasoning for people to purchase properties.

So what does this mean for you?  Let’s break it down into the most simple terms.

Many people who were using the technique of using short sales for “back-to-back” closings had difficulty in finding “end buyers” who could be approved for financing, because FHA wouldn’t allow them to buy these homes.

In other words, investors were finding it increasinly difficult to find an “end buyer” for their “back-to-back” closings because that end buyer was NOT allowed to use FHA financing (per FHA guidelines).

Well come February 1st 2010 the FHA has decided to WAIVE that for a 1 year period.

You can read the entire waiver directly on HUD’s website right here.

Here are some hilights:

• 90 day seasoning rule waived for 1 year beginning February 1st 2010
• No pattern of previous flipping activity exists for the subject property (ie no multiple flips within the past 12 months)
• The property was marketed “openly and fairly” by MLS, auction, FSBO, etc
• If the increase in price is over 20% of the seller’s acquisition cost, a 2nd appraisal may be required
• All transactions must be arms-length, with no identity of interest between the buyer and seller or other parties participating in the sales transaction

More directly from the HUD website:

The policy change will permit buyers to use FHA-insured financing to purchase HUD-owned properties, bank-owned properties, or properties resold through private sales. This will allow homes to resell as quickly as possible, helping to stabilize real estate prices and to revitalize neighborhoods and communities.

Note the last sentence in the paragraph above: “This will allow homes to resell as quickly as possible, helping to stabilize real estate prices and to revitalize neighborhoods and communities.”

That tells me that HUD and other lending institutions are finally starting the see the value that short sale and preforeclosure investors are bringing when it comes to rebuilding America’s housing market.

This is GREAT news for you, because now your end buyers are allowed to use FHA financing!

To give you a better understanding of this, and the ever changing landscape of short sale investing and flipping, please join me for a free, content-packed, special training teleseminar this Wednesday evening, January 20th at 6pm PST/9pm EST.

On this call I will be join by one of the nation’s leading title company experts, who is currently closing deals in all 50 states!  My special guest and I are nto only going to be discussing this groundbreaking announcement from the FHA, but also discussing short sale flips, closings, HUD1′s, title companies and insurance, back-to-back closings, working with realtors, plus MUCH much more.

Please note that this content only teleseminar will be ALL audio.  It will NOT be a webinar.  Also please note that there is no registration.  You’ll be able to either dial-in OR listen via the Internet.  Also, you can ask questions about ANY do to with short sale investing.  There is a question box on the teleseminar page.

I am looking forward to having one of America’s leading short sale closing and title experts on the line with me this Wednesday evening, January 20th at 6pm PST/7pm MST/8pm CST/9pm EST.  Get your questions ready, and I’ll “see” you on the call!

The replay from last night’s teleseminar is up! You can either just scroll down the blog, or click here to get access to the call AND a funding source that will fund your deals no matter WHAT the LTV is!

It’s also my wife & business partner Dreama’s birthday today! A great way to send her a birthday wish is to do so on Facebook and/or Twitter.

In fact, there’s a MAJOR Facebook event happening tonight at 9pm PST/midnight EST. You’ll be able to claim a Facebook “username”. In other words, my facebook profile, instead of some ugly URL, will be www.facebook.com/justinlee (hopefully, unless some other “Justin Lee” out there steals it).

Anyway, if you’re not already on Facebook or Twitter, now would be the perfect time to join, and claim your Facebook name, and hopefully you can get the same twitter handle.

Why Twitter?

Would you believe that it BLOWS AWAY www.CNN.com in terms of traffic and visits per day?

Don’t believe me? Check out this graph.

Anyway, we would love to stay more connected with you on Twitter and Facebook, so here’s how you “friend us up”

Remember, don’t forget to check out the replay of last night’s teleseminar. I’m also working on a new special report that builds off of the Google local training we did a week ago. This new report should be available next week.
