Anyone interested in a BH Real Estate guide?

whynot (user above) is spot-on.

It all depends on the material in the ebook of course (if that's the route you choose), but $97-$147 sounds about right. Maybe more if it's stellar. And of course charge more for membership/personal coaching.

Anyway, if you need help with any of it drop us a line.

Would a strategy like this work well in a cooling housing market? What sort of economic fluxes can this type of strategy withstand?

Shot in the dark here, but I am guessing $97-$147 is not what you want to hear given the enormous earning potential this has for the motivated student. Those real estate courses and seminars cost an arm and a leg, but what they do have going for them is testimonials from people other than the author, which you might not.

I would think that a tiered model that constantly up-sells would work the best, the serious will keep paying, the unmotivated or inept will drop out and not come screaming for a massive refund thereby putting you on the defensive - which seems to happen here on occasion.

I think you are opening yourself up for headache if you offer coaching to everyone right off the bat.

Side note. MSNBC or maybe Newsweek just ran a very interesting article on possibly the most disgusting practice I have seen yet, something about researching foreclosures and finding out who has equity and getting them to sign over thier property, taking out loans, then evicting them. Those people should be shot (some will be). The interesting part of the article, was that they said that those late night informericals on real estate systems for the most part were nothing more than teaching people how to commit felonies. I don't seem to see many of them anymore. Not implying you are doing that, but it definitely made me wary of real estate gurus..

For Real Estate .you just need money .right place to invest .

Good idea. Hostox. I am actually a real estate investor myself and done many wholesale deals. I have a few students that I teach, which mainly been on the marketing side. Def the way to go for investors looking to get in the game and people in the game to close that gap.

Ah the joy of selling property!
Having been in the industry for 6 years and still selling part-time here on the Spanish mainland I would urge a bit of caution with this, as the criteria here is the buyer, without the buyer/investor take on the contract you will 100% come a cropper and may get a bad name in your area low balling offers and then unable to follow through if your invester pulls back from you or low balls at the 11th hour.

In Spain a very simple and effective method similar to the outline of the post has been used for years.

Sell to English and buy from Spanish, you just sit in the middle with two contracts (for example 50,000 euros and 65,000 euros) your take is the difference!

You use the communication problem as your lever, seller cannot speak english, buyer cannot speak Spanish, and of course you speak both English and Spanish.

Jobs a good Un

I you want to know more iwould be more than happy giving something to the forum!

As you were!

I don't know if I'll have time to read an entire ebook... but I will def. catch the movie version. =)

Not really. I'd be interested in learning more.

Great Idea I would be interested!

I've had few ebooks written but not on real estate. The way I determine the demand is by selling a report for say $7 but with good information. If you get a lot of sales and testimonies you know you have a demand. You are also making money while doing your research. Now you can backend sell your actual ebook for $97 or whatever price you chose.
The ebook can then backend sell your coaching services or membership site if you chose to do so. This way you get to market and research but you still end up making money.

Ebooks you buy now days have alot of information but mostly useless. People are tired of buying the crap! If you write a ebook with straight no fluff info/step by step guide that works. You will have alot of happy customers. Now you become the expert and people will buy from you again. Especially if you update the book/guide!

You love what you do and that will portray itself in your ebook. When you write about what you love and do. Then it becomes priceless.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks for all the positive response, this may be available faster than I first though. The only thing I really need to decide on is pricing, I could probably do the guides for less and just keep the coaching/membership site as an option instead of making it all inclusive

I'd say about $100-150. Its too much to put people off buying it if they aren't serious, and it's not too much to put people off not buying it if they are serious.

Thay way you cut out alot of people who think its a cr*p book because they don't dare take any action.

More positive reviews = more sales. But then again, lower price = more sales.

Theres a trade off really.

I may be interested in your system.

Me and some of my associates will be buying up and flipping foreclosed properties.

After the 3rd quarter, you can get cheaper properties from banks because they want to liquidate them before the end of the 4th quarter.

If all goes well we should make a boatload. My friends last coaching student did 200k off the sale of one foreclosed home (sold in less than a day).

Foreclosures are definitely a great way to make money in todays market.

i would definitely be interested in a book like this

I am definitely in on this. I still have a hand in the mortgage industry in the 'real world'. Hell I could even give you some guidance on what would need to happen on the prequal end of things, although from your post, it sounds like you yourself don't even need to go that far.

I've actually heard about something similar to this. Definitely interested.

Id be interested in this as well. If you can keep the price reasonable, I would jump on this in a heartbeat. I'd like to see a forum with some coaching.

Even outside of this forum, I think this ebook could do VERY well. I'd be interesting, depending on a few factors.

I'd truly like to know more. I'm always on the lookup for opportunities to buy properties, rebuild them and flip them. I know some buyers, so this could be nice.

Let me know if you want a review eventually.

thatz funny you brought this up sox...isn't the method you are referring to similar to buying options on the property for Ten bucks to controll the property. If so so I am very interested in your guide as well since this is one of the things i have been trying to learn about for the last year! lol

I'm interested, I just want to know if it can be done in Canada because I am moving back soon from here in the states.

Well the only way I would write an ebook or guide is if it would be something I would buy myself without being left with only more questions like every guide/book/course I read as a newbie.

The interest shown so far has been very flattering, and I have even talked to a few seasoned contacts of mine to see if they would be interested in contributing to a membership site in their areas of expertise (marketing, contracts, other creative forms of investing, business/accounting, etc.)

From the feedback I have received on here and via PM here is the route I would like to take. Keep in mind these figures are not set in stone.

Basic guide priced at $150-200
Membership Site - price ???
Some things I would want to have on the membership site would be..,
Forum
Continued Education: Articles/guides regarding specific aspects of REI. Including marketing, finding & getting the contract on REO/ Bank owned properties, Accounting, and a shit load more.
I would also like to have a weekly conference call with an expert. For example I know a guy who just crushes REO's. Another investor contact of mine happens to be an account who is just amazing at finding deductions for other investors.

So if I were to do a membership site I would want to do it RIGHT. That may however force me to charge more. I would say at least $400 a month for a membership site. It would be well worth it, but I know a lot of newbies are ballas on a budget.

Can this be done in any country? I Would be surely interested in this?but i am from India. Let me know, Thanks
