Patrick I do believe you could sell the Brooklyn Brige. Sir i wish my brain was that fast
Hi Patrick,
I”m in California, a note+deed (not mortgage) state (at least for bank loans). Does that mean that by default our method would be to put a deed into escrow? Or is doing the deed thing still going the extra mile?
That was really good. Hey guys do we have anything on short sales. Thanks Richard
Thanks Richard … LOL …
I have an audio recording that I did with a short sales expert … I’ll email you the download link ….

I always advice my coaching student to answer this straight up and tell them like all business transactions there is risk and they should be in position to handle the risk but at the same time you minimize the risk by
1) Buying right and leaving plenty of cuhsion
2) Buying property insurnance if it burns down
3) Doing your homework with indenpendent 3rd parties who appraise the property for its final valua
If you dot hese thisngs and use good business judegment you minimize the risk and worse case

Hey Eric … California is a note and deed of trust state. When I reference the deed, I’m referring to the title, the ownership of the property. That’s different than the deed of trust. So yes, it’s still going the extra mile.
Michel … nice advice. I like it.
