I mentioned a video the other day that a friend of mine has for you.
Well, there’s another video and it won’t cost you a dime…
If you haven’t seen it yet, go grab your access right here or read on for more info.
This guy, Doug, is focused only on one specific niche in real estate
right now and has been for the past several years. I have talked
with him several times over the past couple of weeks and
he seriously has this thing figured out down to the last dotted line.
right now and has been for the past several years. I have talked
with him several times over the past couple of weeks and
he seriously has this thing figured out down to the last dotted line.
He is flat out giving away so much on these videos
that I think he is nuts. I learned something that I’m going to
port over to my regular rentals regarding collection of rent.
Go to the link below and you will see 3 different videos that he
has on
his website for you explaining how he is investing in this
particular niche in real estate. It’s NOT what you think, not
foreclosures, it’s not short sales, it’s not junker properties
in the hood… trust me, no one is talking about this real estate
niche right now, especially not the “main stream media.”
It’s an often forgotten niche and has not been talked about
in many years.
The video is free and packed with actual useable information…
It won’t take you forever but it will be well worth it so
make sure you take notes as this video will likely not
be up for long.
If you got my email a few days ago, you
know that Doug is pretty “weird” for a real
estate investor . . .
He’s only 28 (but is already financially free) . . .
He takes MASSIVE amounts of time off
(he spent 3 months in Asia and Australia
last year) . . .
He’s never even TOUCHED a foreclosure
deal . . .
He doesn’t spend any time wrestling
with tenants . . .
And the ONLY thing he invests in is a
“weird,” real estate niche that SCARES
THE HECK out of most people . . . just
like many people are regarding rentals.
. . . (but that’s growing like crazy and is
REALLY easy to get into if you know
what you’re doing.)
In today’s video, Doug reveals his “instant”
system for making moolah now in this so
called “nightmare” market.
Doug’s a big fan of “long term wealth” just like I am,
but he knows what it’s like to need funds
RIGHT NOW . . . so he put together
this “instant” video . .
And by “instant” I mean “instant” (this is coffee fast).
Check it out.
To Your Success,
Marshall
P.S. Personally, I think Doug gives a little
TOO much away in this video.
Doug used to be a substitute teacher in
NYC (before he made it BIG in real estate)
and tends to give away the good stuff
without really thinking about it.
Even if you never do any business
with Doug in the future (because, yeah,
he has something really cool coming up)
you’ll learn a ton from watching these
videos so take good notes.

Top 6 ways to build your buyers list.
Mar 15th, 10

You need to build your buyers list with active, cash buyers!
“How in the heck do I do that when first starting out” you may ask.
Assuming you are a real estate wholesaler, the only way you are going to succeed is if you build your buyers list BEFORE you have a house to sell.
So, how are you going to do that?
Here are 6 quick tips to building your buyers list fast.
- Look in your paper for “We Buy Houses” ads. These will typically be in the “Real Estate Wanted” section but you may need to look around before you find it.
- Look on Craigslist – Here you will find people that are trying to rent out or sell properties they have purchased. If they are actively selling, they are probably also buying. The ony way you will find out is if you contact them. I recommend calling them as opposed to e-mailing. Craigslist is rampant with spam e-mails and many people just ignore the messages. If you see a phone number call it. If you see a website address, cautiously explore it (Make sure you have current Anti-Virus software just in case it is a malicious site)
- Place your own ad on Craigslist asking for cash buyers to contact you with their property requirements. You can also use a website to capture names and e-mail addresses. Make sure your site looks professional so you don’t raise red flags from the visitor and make sure you have alternate contact info on your website. (If you want help in this area, let me know).
- Create a Twitter account and connect with other real estate investors in your area. This may be a relatively small number of people in your area, but it is growing quickly and many tech savy investors are using Twitter for multiple reasons. (If you want help with this area, leave a comment).
- Go to your local REIA meeting and put your business cards and a flyer out for others to grab. Meet as many people as you can and ask for their business cards. They will inevitably ask for yours so make sure you have one. Got to http://vistaprint.com for inexpensive cards or contact your local printer.
- Use other online sources like backpage, postlets, kijiji, e-bay real estate for more contacts.
This will take some time, but the better your list, the more easily you will be able to sell that property you get under contract.

You’ve probably never heard of my friend
Doug . . .
But you need to listen to every word
he says in this short (and awesome)
video . . .
Why?
Because even though he’s not a big “guru”
Doug’s figured out how to turn the biggest
“Nightmare” niche in all of Real Estate
investing into an easy “cash cow”. . .
In fact, Doug makes six figures a year
from his “Nightmare” niche (that everybody
else is afraid of) while working just 6 hours
a week . . .
(Pretty cool life, huh?)
This video he just released is getting RAVE reviews.
Enter your e-mail address below and I will send you right over
to the video.
When Doug first told me his niche I thought he was full of it . . . (no WAY it can be THAT easy) . . . But when I watched the video it all “clicked” for me . . . And I bet it will for you too. To your success, Marshall P.S. What is the “nightmare” niche? You gotta watch the video to find out (it’s worth it.)

3 More banks closed on Friday
Mar 13th, 10
/ 0 Comments
Well, if you read my post from early Friday, you will see I was shocked to find that the FDIC closed a bank on Thursday.
I honestly have not seen that happen since I started tracking the bank closings more than a year and a half ago.
Well, there might have been a couple, but it would only be caused by a Friday holiday, and then I don’t even remember if there was one.
So, I half expected there to be either a really big bank closing Friday with a few billion $ in assets, but there were 3 smaller banks that were closed.
Nevertheless, we have now totaled 30 bank closing on the year and it is very early folks.
At this rate, we will definitely beat last year’s total of 140 bank closings.
If you want to see the list, just search for “FDIC failed bank list”
You will likely see the link at the very top of the rankings on your favorite search engine.
They have the list since 2000 right there.
Keep an eye on these closings.
If I were you, I would look to see if any have occurred somewhat near your farm area where you buy and contact the acquiring bank.
Let them know you are interested in their REO properties.
Sometimes you will be able to get direct access before they turn them over to a realtor.
It just depends on how motivated the bank is to get rid of them.
Anyway, happy and profitable investing.
By the way, do you want to see what the only niche I know of in real estate investing that over the past 2 years has actually increased in value?
It’s crazy too, around 30%.

An untapped niche in Real Estate?
Mar 12th, 10
/ 0 Comments
So, in a very surprising move, the FDIC shutdown a bank on Thursday night…
I was shocked to see the e-mail come across my Blackberry last night. Usually, I don’t hear of any bank closings until Friday night. Well, last night, the FDIC closed a 3 branch bank in New York. It was the 27th bank to close down this year. We are not even at the end of March yet! So, let’s just project out a little.
If we have 30 closing by the end of March, (Well within reason as I bet you will see several more close this evening) that will put us at least 120 closed banks by the end of the year. I think the number of last year was 140, so this will be an improvement. However, I don’t think we are going to see it tail off at all. I actually think it will be closer to 200 banks closed down before the end of 2010.
Ok, so what the heck does this have to do with an untapped niche in real estate? Right? Well, I have an idea for you. Actually two ideas. The first one is to sign up on the FDIC website for the updates of closed banks. Then, when you hear of one, put it on your list and start making contacts with someone at that bank.
It would be best to get in touch of the “Special Assets” department. Let them know you are a real estate investor and make sure you can produce a proof of funds letter and show them you have done actual deals.
I have another niche that directly relates back to this idea, but you have to sign up for my newsletter below to find out my idea. It is a concept that I have not heard ANYONE talk about. As soon as you confirm your e-mail address, I will let you in on it.
What are the banks going to do when they can’t get insurance payouts?
Mar 10th, 10

So, the mortgage insurers have decided they are not going to cover the mortgages they already agreed to cover.
====> http://www.cnbc.com/id/35800892
According to this CNBC article, they are using non-payment as a business decision/tactic to try to save money.
I can’t say I blame them, but really, why did they insure the loans? Seriously, this brings up another question I have written about in the past.
Where were all of the “wise” and seasoned bankers when the frothy market was starting to peak? I really don’t understand this.
