This is the Candid Story That May
Force Me Out of the Business:

An Open Letter to the Person Just Looking for Some Truth About This Real Estate Investing Business

It all started with the best of intentions. Most worthy projects always do. I wanted to help people get started buying houses and make some real money doing it.

I wanted to give them a solid foundation to go out and actually do deals, not just sit home and dream about it.

I even gave them the very same words, in the form of a carefully scripted presentation that I have used over several years to buy and sell hundreds upon hundreds of houses.

The stories I told were true. The deals I shared were actual, real life deals, verifiable by County Recorder’s Office records.  The program I developed worked.  It still works today.

Two of my students are semi-retired millionaires. They took the very same techniques, methods and words I use.  They turned them into amazing fortunes in only a few short years.

I was hoping to give back and help other people do the same.

Recently, I went to my first real estate seminar.

It was one of those “free” (free to get in, not to get out!) 2-hour sessions that promise to teach you everything you’ll ever need to know to make zillions of dollars in real estate.

It was held here in Las Vegas , and was put on by one of the most recognizable names in the real estate business.

You’d know who he is I’m sure… his face is all over the late night cable channels where he takes his band of merry men from town to town heralding the praises of investing in real estate.

(Or should that be, investing in him?)

He didn’t show up by the way. A professional speaker did the talking. The information was old, outdated and re-hashed from the 1980’s.

Anyone with half an I.Q. point would know this garbage doesn’t work.  Unfortunately, that would not include the dozens of sincere, well-intentioned attendees who flocked to the back table and plunked down their credit cards for heaven knows how much money, just hoping that it could all be true.

What I discovered at this event shook my foundations.

But then I overheard something at that “free” seminar that really turned my stomach and got me to thinking…

I heard the speaker say “he” has “trained” over 1,000,000 people over the years.  I figure about the same number as the other 2 well-known real estate “gurus” you see on TV.

Friends, there is an evil and corroding thread running through this business, and I can’t believe I was so naďve not to see it.

Do the math with me… If 3 people each have sold courses to one million people, class=GramE>that’s 3 million possible investors out there, all trying to buy houses.

That’s 60,000 investors for every state in the country!

The sad fact is this and nothing less: The real estate investing business has turned into an information-selling mill.

I’ve noticed it recently myself. It seems every other week, somebody has “discovered” a new and better way to buy houses, and they’ll gladly teach you this new secret if you’ll just send them $495.00.

Then of course you’ll need the boot camp, which will cost you your 401K and your first-born child.

It makes you wonder: What about the info you bought from this guy last month that was supposed to be “all you’ll ever need” to be successful?

It’s a game. It’s a racket. And now it’s become a joke, and unfortunately, the jokes on you. And it’s on me too.

They’re laughing behind your back… and all the way to the bank.

Now I know why I have been the target of several vicious attacks regarding my manual. I’m a threat. I’m crowding in on the already crowded waters.

Don’t get me wrong. Some people will make it. Maybe 1 person in 100 will actually go out and make an offer.

FEAR is the number one enemy.

New, would-be investors are afraid of so many things. Most of them are figments of their imagination. It doesn’t matter; they sure seem real don’t they?

The list goes on…

LIABILITY is the second most common reason folks won’t go make offers:

What if I actually get the house, THEN WHAT?

• What if I have to make a payment, then what?
• What if I get sued, then what?
• What If they don’t pay, then what?
• What if I have to evict them, then what?
• What if cows begin to fly, then what?

Look, you could “what if” yourself until you’re blue in the face.

All these things are going to happen sooner or later if you own real estate!

I’ll bet they never told you that when they were swiping your credit card, did they?

And then, MONEY would be the third most common reason why most people will never do a deal. Let’s face it guys and gals; there ain’t no such thing as getting houses for free.

Not unless you’re walking up and down the street, knocking on doors, and buying houses for zero money, that just is a fantasy they all would like you to believe.

Folks, in spite what you’ve heard believe me this business takes money.  Maybe not a lot -- maybe not you’re own -- but some… and more than you’ve been lead to believe.

So where are we with all of this?

Well, for me, it makes me sit back in my chair and forces me to re-evaluate a few things.

I know there are people who can, and will, go out and look sellers in the eye and make offers on houses.

But it’s become obvious to me that something is missing. There is a “missing link” between the reading and studying of a written manual, and actually going out, getting belly to belly and presenting yourself to sellers.

I know what that missing link is.

I didn’t even discover it myself; it came to me in the form of several emails, phone calls and letters from people who seem to need something “extra”.

Let me share a story with you. The other day I was talking to someone who has all the best intentions of making it in real estate investing.

He has spent in excess of $12,000.00 on real estate information, and has never bought a single house!

Does that surprise you? Are you bowing your head in shame because you have spent just as much as, or more? Don’t feel bad. Sad to say, you are in the majority.

Once again, most people who buy these courses will never go make one single offer or buy one single house.

This is insane. I know there has to be a better way.

Don’t you think there must be a better way?

I have authored an e-book entitled Big Bucks Bird-Dogging. This e-book is written in simple everyday language so that you can follow the instructions and find houses for investors and get paid for doing it.

This is the ultimate way to start your career. Eliminate the ‘information overload’ from all the other courses you have read. After you start Bird-Dogging you will learn the various methods from investors in your area, then start investing in a way that fits your personality and budget.

I sincerely hope that the person that wants to become a creative real estate investor finds this e-book their starting point. Here is what you learn to start you off in your career:
