Deal Insurance, preventing sellers from backing out signed contracts

HEY BP, this has been on my heart lately as I'm getting a bunch of my coaching clients asking about it as well.  What do you do, when the seller just changes his/her mind and decides he no longer wants to sell the house TO YOU.  After this happened to me, about 5 times, I believe i lost enough sleep for all of us before I decided to fight back.  

     One time another investor buyer was trying to steal my deal by offering a seller just a little more money.  He actually found the seller and told them that he knew me.  He told my seller that I didn't have the money and couldn't close on the house even  if I wanted to.  Actually he was right, at that time I had no way of financing any houses and unless I found a buyer to wholesale the house to, I was going to be in big trouble.  After a few weeks of dragging my seller out, I did find a buyer, but it was very stressful to say the least.  This other buyer was a cash guy and could close in a few days, so I knew I didn't want to have to compete with him.  I didn't have to use my Deal Insurance on that one, but I consider myself lucky that one time. 

     This video will show you exactly how to set up the deal insurance document and how you can 100% protect yourself against mind changing sellers.  They all seem to be very flighty and I don't want you to lose money like I did in the past.  So enjoy and make sure you get your deal insurance signed on EVERY DEAL!   You'll thank me later, believe me...

Hasko!
