Beach Living - The Short Sale Way
Well it's the middle of February and depending on where you live, cabin fever is running high. The snow, the cold, the continually gray sky, the salty roads, the ice... YUCK! I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Why do I live here?". I need a sandy beach, sunny skies, 80 degrees and a tropical drink - STAT.
The good news is that, as a short sale investor you could live on the beach every single day. You do realize you can do short sales on any house from any location in the country, right? Just to prove this, back in 2005 when I was still living in the frigid north, I decided to take a vacation in the Florida Keys and thaw out my soul. I took all my short sale files with me and made calls to Loss Mitigation while I was pool side. Sunglasses, coconut tanning oil, a cabana and short sale deals. That's the way you do it.
On the fourth day of my experiment I had a double closing on a short sale 1200 miles away where I was buying/selling the house for $500,000 after getting the bank to accept $396,000. All the closing documents were faxed to the resort and I signed everything at the pool and faxed everything back to the title company. Originals were sent back overnight mail. Without a hitch, I made $104,000 on a property in a different state while living on the beach.
Of course, I realized I didn't need to spend another minute in the gloomy, frigid and depressing cold. Now I work on short sales on properties all across the country and a majority of the are properties valued at over $1,000,000. Let's face it, it's just as much work to do an expensive house as it is to do a junker. But the expensive house has much more room for profit.
So, when are you going to get serious about Short Sales and start making some real money? Can you see yourself working from the beach or any other place of your choice? You can do it, you just need to take that first step. Get some training and then jump in with both feet (while keeping you day job) and do a short sale on a $100,000 junker. Make some money, build your confidence and eventually you can join me on the beach. I've got a nice little drink with an umbrella waiting for you.
