Awesome Words To Live By… Seriously Worth A Watch

“I’ve never considered myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is my ridiculous work ethic.  While the other guys sleepin’… I’m working”

That quote right there is one of my favorites in his video… and that’s one thing I’ve found out over the last 4 or so years.

Find what you love to do… and work harder than everyone else… put out everything you’ve got… realize we’ve only got one go around on Earth… don’t waste your limited time here… make a difference… leave the world in a better place than you found it… and and do all you can to help make a difference for other people and for yourself.

Enjoy the week!

- T & P

P.S. – A couple more quotes from the video… “Don’t create a plan B… it’ll only distract you from plan A“.  “Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity“.

Lol, we’ve gotten around 20 or so emails from our PMBP subscribers asking for our honest take on whether the Freedomsoft Software that you’ve been hearing a ton about recently is worth the hype… and worth the dollars.

So, a couple weeks back we got Preston Ely to give us access to a demo account so we could dive into the software for a couple weeks… put it to use… see what we liked and hated… and we just did a full video review demo of the Freedomsoft Software for ya below.

Also, as a service to our PMBP subscribers and members… we’ve got a killer bonus available for ya if you decide that Freedomsoft is right for you (which as you’ll see in the video below… it’s NOT right for everyone).

Freedomsoft Software Full Video Review

The Freedomsoft software review is extremely detailed… I walk you through EVERY aspect of the software (but I did forget to show how the software will analyze your deals for you… ) in the video demo below and it’s a solid 50 minutes long.  But, if you’d rather hop on a webinar Wednesday evening to have the Freedomsoft guys give you a full demo of the software live… here’s a link to go sign up for that live demo webinar thats Wednesday at 6pm PST (9pm EST).  No hype… just a full demo of what Freedomsoft does.

How To Get Your Freedomsoft Software Bonus

Okay, like I said in the video review… Freedomsoft is a great piece of software and a great tool for wholesalers and potentially rehabbers.  If you’ve decided Freedomsoft is right for you to help you automate and grow your business so you can focus more time on having fun, making money, and spending time with your family… and you want that missing link that Freedomsoft doesn’t provide (the private money)…

… now all you have to do is choose which package is right for you.

If you want the true turn key solution… where we actually find the private lenders for you… go w/ the Platinum version of Freedomsoft.  It’s not cheap… but, that one bonus where we’ll find YOU private lenders IN YOUR AREA FOR YOU is worth 10x the investment in Freedomsoft alone… not to mention the other bonuses and the actual Freedomsoft software itself.

So, here’s what you need to do:

1. Freedomsoft opens up Thursday 1/21 at 12:07 PST EST (9:07 am PST)
2. Use our affiliate tracking link below so they can track you as our customer (if you don’t use the links on this page you WON’T get our bonus.
3. Select a Freedomsoft package and buy it
4. Send your receipt to support [at] privatemoneyblueprint [dot] com and we’ll put you immediately into the bonus group for whatever Freedomsoft package you choose
5. We’ll get a hold of you with the details on the bonus (remember, only the first 20 get the “done for you” Platinum bonus. As long as this message is still up… there are still spots left. When all 20 spots are filled we’ll immediately put up a “sold out” note on this page).

>> Go Here at 12:07 EST Thursday 1/21 To Get Freedomsoft <<

*We’re of course able to offer this great service and these great bonuses to you because we got a special tracking link from Freedomsoft… and they do give us a commission when you use our links to buy. However, to provide a ton of value to our subscribers and members… we use a big hunk of the commission money to help you out… and in this case, with the Platinum package we’re spending almost $800 out of our pockets to help you cut the learning curve in your REI biz and in “private money getting”.

5 Best Real Estate Markets for 2010

by Tim Krulia – Private Money Blueprint CFO

As part of our quest here at PMBP to give you the single best resource on the financial aspects of growing your real estate investing business (aka, we help people find private money quickly, easily, and abundantly)… here’s an article I found that will show you 5 markets you may want to look at in 2010.

Okay, with 2009 behind us… it’s time to start looking at 2010 and how we can all kick some more butt in the real estate market. With our forecasts… getting private money for real estate in 2010 should be about as plentiful as it was in 2009, so don’t hesitate to shoot us a message if you have any questions on that front anytime.

Okay, according to a recent article at the MSN Real Estate site… most of the major real estate markets in the U.S. will still be down in 2010… but, they’ve forecasted these 5 markets below to be the top 5 real estate markets in 2010 as determined by forecasted appreciation rates:

The top 5 cities for home prices

1. Tacoma, Wash. (+2.44%)
2. Memphis, Tenn. (+0.99%)
3. Pittsburgh (+0.89%)
4. Charleston, S.C. (+0.18%)
5. Seattle (-0.50%)

These five markets are culled from data on Moody’s Economy.com and based on the largest 100 metro areas.  There are a few other really great points in the article in addition to the “top 5 markets” that you’ll want to take 2 minutes to check out.

I’m a fan of this article because it raises a few great points of interest and is in line with my personal philosophy of how 2010 should play out.

Scherzer writes (and I feel strongly that this is also the case), that “even though there are government stimuli in place (tax credit) and low interest rates (which help stabilize the market’s values) the leading factor that’s going to lead to increasing home values is a turn around in the labor markets first and foremost. “

The article lists their potential top 5 cities for the housing market in 2010.  A leading factor used to determine the values includes looking at the labor market & the economies of the listed cities.

She includes some great statistical content about 2008, 2009 and probable 2010 foreclosures and also how they may relate to ARM mortgages making their first adjustments.  Don’t miss the link for RealtyTrac and all the foreclosure listings (http://www.foreclosurelistings.com/).  If you don’t know about this website, you should check it out ASAP!

Note that if you are in the business of buying foreclosures, this article notes an expected increase from 3.2 million foreclosures in 2009 to 4 million in 2010! As we know, one of the smartest ways to buy real estate is by using private money.

If this is your business, I think it would be smart to be aggressive recruiting funds now to take advantage of this next huge round of “low hanging fruit” to buy this year.  There’s some great free articles and resources here on this blog under the “Private Money Articles” section that you can refer too.

So, whether you’re investing in one of those 5 markets or not… it doesn’t really matter.  There’s deals everywhere and there’s buyers everywhere… just clarify your strategy in whatever real estate market you’re in and get ready for 2010 and the continued wave of sub prime and Alt A foreclosures (and the wave of commercial foreclosures starting to pile up too).

Real Estate Investor Business Card Examples – How To Design And Where To Get ‘Em

Alrighty, everyone says… “You need to have a business card if you’re going to be a successful real estate investor!”.

Well… that’s partly true.

NO, you DON’T need a business card to be successful… if you take the right actions and use other types of marketing really well… you may not need a business card.

But, SHOULD all real estate investors and “private money getters” have a business card?

Yep.

And… is there a RIGHT and WRONG way to make your business card and put the information on it that can make or break whether you’ll get a call from that card?

Yep.

Check out the video I made for ya this week… (I know, I’m sort of a nerd… I should have edited out the mess up at the start w/ the music being on… but hey… thats me… like it or not

(click play to watch… then check out the resources below the video)

The Resources:

1. The Low Cost (yet quality) Route - I get all of my day to day business cards made at Vistaprint… w/ the discounts they give out sometimes I can get a box of 250 cards for under $20.  I’d suggest checking them out first… and at least getting a double sided card that you can use as your main biz card.When you click the link blow, I know “free” sounds good… but you get what you pay for.  Don’t go for the free ones… click the “Get Started” link under the Premium Business Cards option… you can do double sided, colored, the thickest stock, all for very very cheap… thats the route I go.

   VistaPrint Cards Go Here… It Takes 15 Minutes To Create Your Card << Here’s a quick example of what you can put on the back of your business card to drive people to your private money education based website:

   
   (this is a picture of the back of the cards that I bought at VistaPrint)

2. The Nifty $100 Cards – Okay, after you get your “day to day” cards above… you may think about a bit more creative way to catch peoples eye… get people to read your card… and get noticed.  Now, be careful where you use these… I would personally only use these types of “gimmick cards” to get motivated sellers… birddog referrals… and possibly buyers.  For me… if I’m getting private money I’d rather use a professional looking business card which builds more credibility.But, this companies $100 cards are really slick… pretty darn affordable for what you get… and I talked to the business owners and got a coupon code for you if you decide you want to get those $100 Business Cards.

   Use the Coupon Code: PMBP12

   That coupon code will give you $12 off of your order… which basically makes the typesetting free for ya (it’s about a 10% discount

Enjoy

That’s a fast crash course to getting your real estate investing business card up to snuff… and a few resources to save you some time in your research.  Just a quick note… if you use our link in the VistaPrint link to get cards… we do make a few bucks.  If you value our information and are going to buy the cards through VistaPrint anyway (I truly do buy my biz cards there)… we’d appreciate ya using our link . If you’d rather not use our link… google it and you’ll be good to go.

Here’s to a great year! Keep shooting in your questions to us through the contact page above.

Are You Taking S.M.A.R.T. Action as a Private Money Getter?

As many of you know, I’m big on teaching students to … Take Massive Action!

I’ve seen all too many beginners get stopped in their tracks due to information overload, due to fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of what others may say.

The result of these common obstacles is often inaction. And that’s a BIG problem. Idleness is a sure fire way to frustration, anger, and ultimately failure.

I came up with a metaphor to help you destroy the tendency towards inaction with S.MA.R.T. Action.

Check out the video below to learn more …

Now, be honest with yourself …

Have you been taking S.M.A.R.T. Action?

If not, no big deal because you can commit today, you can commit right now to change that; to no longer be one who procrastinates, to be a doer, to take S.M.A.R.T. Action.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or tips, toss ‘em in the comment area.

Catch you later,

- Patrick & Trevor
