Can you imagine having cancer and being told you only have a small chance of living much longer?  In this interview with Josh Cantwell, we talked about how he survived pancreatic cancer and still operated a thriving real estate business. We also talk about how "Being Daring" was one of the most important lessons Josh learned during this ordeal.  We talk about marketing, how critical it is to just "get on the phone", how to work with Realtors, and the "Ultimate Long Term Strategy". Finally, we talk about probably the easiest cash grabbing strategy out there in the REI world right now - flipping lease options (or "Lease Option Assignments" as Josh calls it).  It's a crazy awesome course that Josh created called "Middle Man Income".  You've got to check it out.  In fact, remember, if you buy his course, you will get a free copy of my "Wholesaling Lease Options Simplified" course.  Josh's course and my course really complements each other well.   Listen To The Podcast Episode Here: To get more information on the Middle Man Income Course  >>>  CLICK HERE .

Joe here...  In this newest episode, I talked about my new "Virtual Wholesaling Challenge" and give you an update on my progress.  I just finished my first week, and I wanted to share some interesting things I have been learning. For those of you that don't know, in this Challenge, I am selecting a completely new market and starting a new wholesaling business there - from scratch - all "virtually".  I currently live and invest mostly in St Louis.  My new market is somewhere in California (that's a little teaser...   ;) I have always said that you can flip properties anywhere in the USA - from anywhere in the world - with only a laptop and a cell phone.  I have done that for many years in my own backyard.  And I have also proved it when I was in Prague, CZ for 2 months earlier this year and I flipped two houses in St Louis - while I was 4,800 away.  I never saw the houses, never met the sellers, never took any calls from buyers, never showed the house to any buyers, etc, etc.  You get the point.  I had someone else do virtually all the work.  It can be done. Now this Challenge is a little different.  I am doing this in a completely foreign market - one that I have never lived in before.  I am putting it all on the line - pulling back the curtain and going public - letting everyone in on my business, sharing my secrets. This new challenge is kind of like a "factory tour" of my business thru daily live webinars.  I am not really teaching anything.  I am just doing the stuff  while you watch and copy everything I am doing.  You get to see the inner workings of a completely new wholesaling business being born. Cool, hu? BTW - it's not too late to sign up for my Challenge and get all the replays. Go here >>> www.FlipLeaseOptions.com

This was a fun podcast to record.  You might actually laugh once or twice.  Jake was a good sport (and very patient too).  But minus all the mindless bantering Alex and Joe did, there was really a point here - and you might actually learn something along the way. Listen to this episode and learn how a former auto-mechanic started wholesaling houses in his local market, then tweaked a few things, and started flipping deals in another remote market - and actually having better success in the new market - even though it was 1.5 hours away! You will also learn how to  best network with other wholesalers in your market, the correct way to do direct mail, how to do some easy online marketing, what to say to sellers, and the importance of the "speed of implementation" (our new mantra).

Would you like to learn a TON of really cool wholesaling tips from a successful investor who "only" has 7 full time Virtual Assistants working for him?  ;)  Meet Brian Haskins - a friend of Joe and Alex for many years. In this podcast, we talk about outsourcing, the systems Brian uses to follow up with sellers, how Brian finds motivated sellers with equity, how Brian does his direct mail, how Brian effectively uses Craigslist to find sellers, what kind of sellers Brian targets, etc, etc.  There are a plethora of little gold nuggets here! For more information on Brian, listen to his podcast here - REI Wealth Podcast.  Here is Brian's main website - Wholesale To Riches.  Here's his site where he sells Cheap REI Websites (only $14.97 / month). Voice Mail Script Here is the voice mail for sellers script that we talked about in the podcast.  This came from David Alexander's excellent site - www.BanditSigns.com Hello and thanks for calling! You know, buying houses from people like you is something I’ve been doing for quite a few years now, and in that time, as I’ve bought lots and lots of property, I’ve learned a few things along the way to make the selling process SIMPLE, EASY and PAINLESS. If you need to sell quickly, but don’t want to deal with a lot of closing costs, possibly you’ve been transferred OR are staring at SOME of life's other crazy problems, you might not have much equity, or maybe you even OWE more than the house is worth, you know what? There ARE things we can do to get you squared away, and if the numbers are right - Yes, I can write you a check for your equity TODAY. It probably won’t be a big check, but it’s likely to be enough to get to where you're going, whatever your situation might be. Now I can really only work with people who want to get things taken care of immediately, so if you’re calling because you're just kinda curious about the Ad or Sign, and really DON'T have a real estate problem, then about all I can do is wish you the best of luck with your property, but if you need an immediate sale, leave your name and number, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. On the other hand, if you ABSOLUTELY want this property out of your life TODAY because you’ve decided to move on, then give me a call on my cell phone. You can reach me at __________. I only give that number out to folks who want me to drop everything, swing by and write up an offer that works for the both of us on the spot, so if you’re ready to get your place SOLD today, just say the word. AGAIN that number is __________, and my name is _____. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks.
