The Voyage Home

Cory and I wandered down to the reactor room
where we found Scotty tinkering with the warp
core. It had been acting up recently and we
were going to check up on his progress.

"Hey Scotty, have you figured out why the
reactor’s been acting up?" I asked.

Scotty replied, "Well, Captain, I can’t seem
to find anything wrong with her. Maybe you can
take a look."

Before I could utter a word Cory had jumped
in front of me and had started crawling down
the maintenance shaft. He always gets carried
away when he’s got an idea.

"Cory, what are you doing? Don’t you know it’s
dangerous to crawl head-first into a maintenance
shaft?!"

Cory gave me one of those trademark smiles of
his. He looked at me and said, "Captain, if I
let danger stop me, I would never have become
second in command."

I had to agree with him on that. Ever since
the incident on the surface of that alien
world, Cory had been promoted and Spock was
reduced to mopping the decks. Even though we
could have had a robot do it, we all thought
it would be more fun to have him mop it the
old, old fashioned way.

By now, Cory had disappeared down the chute.
I was confident Cory wouldn’t take unnecessary
risks but would be smart enough to make his
gambles pay off. It turns out I wasn’t dis-
appointed.

"Captain," he called from down the chute,
"I think I found the problem. Someone’s
tried to short-cut the wires in here and
bypass the inertial dampeners. It’s a
common mistake Captain. People think there
are easy shortcuts when working in a
volatile area, but they don’t realize
they’ve got to know exactly how to do it."

I began to realize Cory wasn’t just talking
about wiring the warp core. I knew that
this was advice I could use even as commander
of the ship.

Cory emerged with a triumphant look on his
face. "Sir, I think I solved the problem."

It was then that I realized Cory wouldn’t stop
at being first-officer. Before long he’d be
captain of his own ship. I knew his crew would
be in good hands.

Well folks, don’t shoot the messenger. A lot of
people have been optimistic that the recession
is over, and I know we’re all praying for it.

But if you want to keep on believing that then

DO NOT READ THIS POST!!

You think I’m kidding, right? But I’m not. If
you’re the kind of person who takes bad news at
face value and gives up, then just turn off the
computer now and go back to books.

….

Well, if you’re still here I guess you know my
style already. No matter how bad the news, there’s
always a silver lining. Or a green lining if
you’re into cash!

So the latest report tells us what insiders have
known all along: a tidal wave of delinquencies
is about to crash on the market. The number of
loans beginning delinquent status is more than
twice the number already in foreclosure, which
means the system probably can’t even handle
the incoming avalanche of faulty loans.

However, here’s the catch. The number of loans for the
year so far stands at over 2 million, over 100 thousand
more than the same time last year. So do you
know what that means?

If you’ve been waiting to get into the real
estate market you’ve got 2 great reasons to
get moving.

1) Banks need people to take these bad assets off
their hands.

2) I’ve got the latest deal for really cashing in.

Isn’t the news ridiculous? We’re not even
out of 2009 and already we’re being bombarded
with predictions for next year. Let me
just finish the month! Maybe around December
time I’ll clear some space on my desk to plan
next year’s success.

Check out what I’ve been working on in the
meantime. It’ll blow you away:

But for what it’s worth, the experts are
saying that 2010 will be the year of
commercial real estate. That’s when
commercial property prices will hit rock
bottom.

But why wait till then to cash in? I mean
I plan to make money then AND NOW.

Don’t you?

Isn’t it your turn, yet?

Hey, ready to start your week? I
hope you had a great weekend. I’ve been keeping
up with the news for you so you don’t have
to spend your time scouring the internet. And
make sure to check your email for news about
the exciting launch we’re having. And as always
check out my blog and leave me some comments.

FIVE MORE BANKS SHUT DOWN

From North, South, East and West 5 banks across
the country were shut down. That makes 120
for 2009! Last year only 25 were shut down
the whole year. So even though some indicators
show that the recession is ending, the bottom
line is some of us are still having a tough
time.

The largest bank closure of last week was in
California and is expected to cost the Federal
government $1.4 billion. That comes despite
the $300 million given to the bank last year.
Analysts are unsure how the government plans
to recoup its losses.

And do you know which sector of loans defaulted
leading directly to the collapse of the bank?

Construction loans! (Surprised? What do you think?
Leave a comment!)

That’s right, the hardest hit sector of the
housing market is new construction. I feel
for the construction guys out there. I really
do. But I feel even worse for you if you don’t
realize what an opportunity you have.

If people aren’t building homes, then what are
they doing?

They’re buying homes!!!

And you’ve got to get in on this market. Now
is the perfect time to get moving.

1) Check out my site www.shortsalefundamentals.com
for everything you need to build your Real Estate empire.

2) Catch my emails about the launch we’re having
which is really going to make your financial
dreams come true (and maybe your other dreams too!)

3) Share your success stories here on my blog  
or just ask for advice. I check my mail and
my blog everyday and I will personally respond
to you.

Have a great week! I’m expecting big things from you.

I just got off the plane and I feel like
a million bucks. I don’t have any of that
post-flight feeling, you know the one where
you’ve been cramped in a chair for 4 hours
eating tiny peanuts trying to keep your
elbows from bumping into the guy next
to you. No, I had none of that. And do you
know why?

Because I flew in my buddy’s private jet!

That’s right, my good buddy Mitch cruises around the country in style. No, he didn’t inherit his fortune. And no, he didn’t win big in the lottery. And I’m gonna come straight out and say it, he didn’t even work hard for it.

No, he made it big using simple strategies
that anyone can use to sell property. Now
you might be thinking, "That’s great for
him, but I can never own my own jet!" Well,
I’m here to tell you to stop thinking
negatively. You can be just like Mitch!

I guarantee you, by New Year’s you’ll be
bringing home checks so big the bank’ll
be afraid to cash them. You’ll be the guy
they’ll take upstairs, give a cup of
coffee to and have the bank manager come
out and give a foot massage to.

You really can be that guy! I’ve seen it
happen dozens of times and everyone of
these guys started out just like you.

So I’m here to give you a leg up on the
competition. I’ve got the secrets to
make those private dreams of yours
happen. I’m telling you, your spouse is
gonna think you robbed a bank. And they
won’t be calling the cops about it!

Here’s what you need to do:

1) Go to this website:
===> http://budurl.com/web3pointzero

2) Watch my video (you can get some
popcorn first if you’d like). In it
I’ll give you 3 Easy steps that I
recorded right at home. I’ll even
throw in 2 $1,297 Vegas tickets where
I’m speaking on Nov 13-15th.

3) Start raking in the money!

It’s that simple! By the end of the
year those private dreams of yours
will become reality. You’re already
half way there. By reading this email
and checking out my video, you’ve done
the hard part. With my trade secrets
you and I are going to really make it
happen.

Remember, I’ve seen my dreams happen
and I’ll be right there with you
making yours come true.

P.S. I know you’re thinking now is  not
the right time to deal in real
estate. You think the market is
tanking. Well, check this out and
see what you think: Tax-Credit Extension

Not many things get approved unanimously.
But with this kind of news, the housing
market is the place to be. So get
moving!

=====================================

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
- Patrick Henry

Come on, admit it. You never paid attention in history class, right? Don’t worry, I won’t tell your teacher. I’ll admit it too. I can’t remember a thing I learned in history class, probably because I wasn’t paying attention. Maybe I was living Patrick Henry’s quote, living in dreams of the future instead of the history of the past. Were you doing that too?

Well, don’t worry about it. I think we’re headed in the right direction. We may not remember every detail of history, but that’s because we’re forward thinkers. We want to get out and make changes. Then they’ll be writing history books about us.  We’ll call the first one "A History of YOUR NAME: The Man, The Legend".

Catchy title, no? Now that’s a history book I would read.

So now that we’re clear that we’re both forward thinkers looking to leave our mark on history, how do we change the world? How do we do it?

Well first things first. Check out my webinar: http://budurl.com/web3pointzero

That’s definitely the first thing to do. You’ll learn the secrets you need to leave your mark. I’ve already started leaving mine. Why don’t you join me? You’re going to learn valuable stuff at this meeting and I don’t know when I’ll have another one.

Just make the time tonight to check out http://budurl.com/web3pointzero . You really won’t regret it!

Don’t worry, it’s not going to be a history class you’ll space out in. You’ll learn hard-hitting facts you need to know to start making an impact.

I’ll see you there.

The secret of many a man’s success in the world resides in his insight into the moods of men and his tact in dealing with them.
- J. G. Holland

Captain’s log: We’ve encountered some hostile buyers in the residential sector. Spock, McCoy and I have gone down to the surface to negotiate a deal. While on route, we were ambushed by hordes of pre-foreclosures looking for a quick score. I turned to ship’s doctor Jim McCoy.

"Bones, find me the best deal on this property."

"Damn it Jim, I’m a doctor, not a real estate guru!"

Our phasers were useless. We were forced to retreat until reinforcements arrived. Spock, always the calm, level headed one, pulled out his communicator.

"Spock to Cory, come in."

"Cory here. What’s the nature of the emergency?"

"We’ve got some turbulent prospects ahead of us and need to negotiate the best deal."

"Okay, Spock. Keep your Vulcan ears pointy and tell the captain to sit tight. I’m on my way."

Cory raced to the transporter room, hoping to make it in time.

"Scotty, beam me to the surface."

"But Mr. Boatright, there’s too much interference. Government red tape, HAMPs, and Obama are blocking our signal."

"Don’t worry Mr. Scott, I know the secrets to get us through."

Cory deftly navigated the controls, finding just the right combination of skill, know-how, and guts to find a strong signal and beam through. He materialized beside us just in the nick of time.

"Don’t worry captain, I’ll handle the negotiations from here."

"Thank God you’ve arrived. Now I can get back to my vacation on Romulus. I’ve really gotta thank you for finding me that beach house."

Captain’s log: We’re traveling at warp factor 9 out of the residential sector. Our shields and phasers proved useless in our encounter with the hostile buyers. Luckily, Cory saved the day and rescued the deal. Good thing we had him on board. Time to go where no real estate guru has gone before!"

I really believe in the old saying that time is money. What that means is that every moment of your day is worth money. But here’s what else that saying means: if you find that you don’t have enough money (and who does??) it’s probably because you don’t have enough time.

Now you need to really understand the two sides of the time coin. On the one hand you don’t want to waste your time because you could be earning money. That means you need to be really effective at looking at a situation and figuring out whether getting involved in it is really going to pay off. But what you also need to realize is that if you’re not making as much money as you want to make, you’re not using your time efficiently.

You can listen to all the marketing ploys and sales gimmicks you want telling you how to generate big bucks, but without the time to implement them all those great ideas are worthless. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been faced with 20 exciting prospects and had to let them pass me by because I just didn’t have time for them. But that’s where you’ve got to develop your judgment. You need to get smart enough to know just by giving something a brief once-over whether it’s the most effective use of your time. You need to do that with all of the options confronting you and hopefully you’ll make the right choice.

This idea has never been more applicable than it is in real estate. As investors and salesmen, we know how many potential leads turn into sales, and how many turn into road kill. How do you size-up a potential client and figure out whether he’s wasting your time or whether he’s really worth working with? I mean, time is money, right? So you can’t spend all day climbing up the wrong tree!

Well, experience is the first tool at your disposal. But you know what, it takes time to gain experience! And not having enough time was the whole problem in the first place. So we’re back to square one: how do I use my time efficiently?

The answer is: use my experience.

Yeah, sorry, it’s really that simple. My mantra is and always has been to be a servant. Which means all of the thousands of hours of experience I’ve gained over the years are yours. I didn’t work all these years just to make money. I did it to gain the knowledge to help others. So if you want to make the right choice, save yourself some time and wasted effort and just talk to me. I’m here to share with you everything I know about the real estate industry. You can check out my videos, leave a comment on my blog, visit my site, and learn together with me how to be the most effective real estate guru you can be.

"He that is down needs fear no fall."

– John Bunyan

I suppose "Fear" is something that’s on everyone’s lips these days,
for one reason or another. Sure Halloween is coming up, but we’re too
grown up to be afraid of that, right??

Halloween is about Trick or Treaters, candy, pumpkins, and lots of
good times (Post a comment and share some good Halloween stories). It’s not supposed to be scary. Well, kids have their ghost stories, so maybe they get the chills, but what do we grown-ups have?

Unfortunately, we have the news. And that should send a chill down
your spine.

I don’t see any bread lines like during the Great Depression of the
1930’s but the comparisons between those days and our own times are
plentiful. The most shocking news I’ve heard is the following:

Banks are now charging off loans faster than they did at the height
of the Great Depression, according to Moody’s Investors Service.
(Essentially, charging off a loan means the bank has declared it
uncollectible and written it off as a loss for a tax benefit.)

They’re charging them off at a rate of 3%. Even in the midst of the
Great Depression the rate was only 2.3%. That amounts to $116 billion
in uncollectible loans. And this only includes banks with over $50
million in assets, which leaves out over a fifth of the nation’s
banks. And trust me, that fifth includes the hardest hit small-town
communities of rural America (post a comment and tell me how
the recession is affecting your neighborhood). So the actual number
of charged-off loans may be significantly higher.

So that’s a Halloween spook story you can take with you. I hope we’re
not going to see bread lines around the block anytime soon. We’ve
come a long way since the 1930’s (hey, back then you’d have found
out the news by buying a "newspaper")! So I believe we’ve got the
infrastructure in place to weather the storm. But you’ve got to take
my word for it that the backbone of America is still what it always
has been: hard-working Americans getting out there and putting in an
honest day’s labor. (Disagree? Tell me about it.)

Sure, times have changed enough that a good solid day of work may be
accomplished in your house with a computer and a good internet
connection (ala, me!) but it’s what’s going to bring the economy
back up. I need all of you to get moving now! (Wait, finish the
email and then get up!) There’s plenty of money to be made in
real estate now. And it’s not going to be made by the big firms.
They’re the ones who are struggling now. It’s going to be made by
you, me, and all the other small timers out there who know how to
spot those great deals.

So keep me in mind as you make your way through the market. I’ve
got plenty to teach you, and I’m always here to serve.
