I want to buy every house wholesalers find for me, but we all know that’s impossible, right? No, its not for a lack of money, or time, or contractors. I have all those bases covered. It’s just that not every deal is a deal. In this market you can not be to careful on what you buy and where you buy houses. Buyers are super critical and never before has the old tired adage of location, location, location rang more true.

So I got a call from my favorite new wholesaler. She tipped me on a house just around the corner from one we’re just about to start. Check out the video below on what I found and why I will NOT be buying this house. Bring me great deals and I’ll buy EVERY one!

Bring me your unwanted wholesale deals – I’m paying HUGE wholesale fees!

In the truest sense of “over-doing” – I give you the “Turducken.” I swear, one day (soon I hope) I will cook one of these delectable concoctions, and my heart will delight in its tri-fecta of fatty grandeur. What could be better on a day that celebrates gastro-indulgence? This is culinary magic at its best! Mmmmmm….3 dead animals all rolled up into one! A carnivore’s wet-dream!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Be thankful of all you have today and everyday.

I keep telling you – its a tough market out there for wholesalers right now. Sure the deals are plentiful, but ONLY if you know how to play the game. What if you could learn from a pro how to sell your wholesale deals before you even sign a contract with the seller? That’s precisely what I’m offering to real estate birddogs and wholesalers in the Maryland area. Free training. 100%. Don’t believe me – watch the video below.

In the video below you’ll see a guy from Baltimore named Rich.  Rich is a new wholesaler and he’s doing it right. He saw on my blog that I pay fat wholesale fees and I don’t waste time pulling the trigger when it comes to hot deals. If you are a wholesaler – YOU MUST have a buyer like me in your back pocket!

So Rich and I spent a few hours looking at houses in Anne Arundel County. In a few short hours, Rich now knows precisely what I’m looking for, how I price my repairs, and how I make my offers. If Rich finds a smoking deal, who do you think he’s gonna call first? Who do you think is going to reward Rich with a massive wholesale check?

That’s right….good ole’ Craig!

If you are thinking about wholesaling or bird-dogging real estate, you’d be a fool not to take me up on my absolutely free training for wholesalers and birddogs in Maryland.

Short sales are super sweet, Kids – but ask almost ANY seasoned investor, and they’ll tell you that they are a big fat crap-trap in terms of the effort they take to do successfully. So what’s the next best thing. How about making ton’s of short sale offers and letting some other fool do all the work. That’s the American way, right? If you’re not making offers on SS deals, you should be. But here’s a few tips to keep in mind if you want to successfully buy short sale deals. If you just follow these few key points you will be on your way to buying short sale properties.

How to Make a Fool-Proof Short Sale Offer

Cash is King:
When possible show a proof of funds with cash. If you don’t have a rich Uncle, make a super clean offer with a GREAT pre-approval letter from a bank – NOT a hard money lender. Letters from HML’s are crap and the banks know it.

Research The Negotiator:
You have to know how experienced the negotiator is! Why waste time with some Realtor who took a free class? Negotiating SS deals is a tough business. Work with a Pro. They are worth their weight in gold.

Crappy houses get bigger discounts:
Banks aren’t stupid. You’re not ever going to get a smoking deal on a house the needs no work. Don’t waste your time. And know that the price listed on the MLS is the price the Realtor “thinks” he can get from the bank. Realtors as we all know however – are clueless. Just because your favorite $500K house is listed for $199K, that doesn’t mean the bank will sell it for $199K. Be smart.

Make a Clean Offer:
Close in 2 weeks after approval.  Waive all inspections and contingencies.  Offer a $100 EMD up front, then at least $1000.00 upon approval.

Know the law:
In Maryland you should be offering on vacant houses or non-owner occupied only. The foreclosure laws do not apply to these types of houses

Make an offer that works for you:
No matter what you hear about how much banks will discount; no matter what some Guru told you to offer – you need to make the offer that works for you. Ignore all else! Making offers on SS deals is just like making offers on any other house. The numbers have to work for you.

Look out B’more – you’re boy is BACK! I’m kicking ass and taking names. That’s right! As my boy B-Nort likes to say; I’m hyper-focussed and flush with cash. I’m a real estate buying machine. Unstoppable people! You gotta watch this video detailing my most recent purchases! Oh and by the way, I’ve paid out $17,500.00 to TWO lucky wholesalers who happened to make me their first call. Two wholesale deals, $17,500 in wholesale checks. They are VERY happy they called me.

If you’ve got a wholesale deal – you would be a fool NOT to call me first. Christmas is coming and Santa has filled my pockets with cash for you!
