Matt,

I am also a new to this world so I will share with you what I am doing to get myself educated:

• 1)Go pro – No I don’t work for BP, but you get the tools you absolutely need to be successful as a pro member hands down. The ability to learn what a good deal really looks like comes down to using the PRO calculators- practice every day.

• 2)Listen to every single BP pod cast. So far I am about 110 in and it is exactly the education you need. I listen to them in order from newest to oldest regardless of the topic so I can learn about all angles of this business. It is truly amazing what you can pick up. I listen to them if I am driving anywhere and also at the Gym. Makes the 1 hour Elliptical go much faster.

Good luck!

Baly,

Is it a good deal, that is the question. Do you have any friends or relationships who have access to the MLS to look at comps. I think that is the first place you need to start looking at.

In all fairness, this email just came out:

Hello Everyone!!!

I want to start off this email by offering up our sincerest apology for our January 5th meeting. I have heard many of you were disappointed with what you expected to hear at the meeting and what was actually presented. We are so sorry. There was a miscommunication as to what was supposed to be presented. Jason Roberts, our guest speaker, speaks on many different topics and thought he was supposed to speak on Lifeonaire and creating a vision and plan for your life. However the marketing that went out was in regards to his short sale program that he also teaches.

Since most of you were expecting a short sale/pre-foreclosure presentation, we have asked Jason if he could possibly come back and teach all of you how to create an incredibly successful short sale business in today’s market. He has graciously agreed but because of time restrictions and his busy travel schedule, he will not be able to deliver his presentation in person. Instead, he has offered to have a live webinar this coming Thursday, January 14th from 5pm to 6:30 pm for all of you!

This is not a previously recorded webinar but rather a LIVE call with Jason where he will be teaching you all about short sales! This will be a call that you can actually ask questions on and interact live with Jason. But wait there is even more!!!!!! Jason is giving you the marketing portion of his course as a free gift for the meeting confusion!!! This is usually a $1000 dollar course that he is giving to you for free!! Included is a power point presentation on all things short sale marketing, exclusive marketing documents Jason has used to negotiate over 300 short sale files as well as two bonuses; a webinar on how to get unlimited deals as well as how to hire a great marketing assistant. You will receive a link to the material once you have registered for the webinar.

• 3)Take action. Get a goal and go make it happen. Without it you are guaranteed to never make it happen.

• 4)Don’t take it too seriously – it’s a lot to lean and that is why people never really get in to it.

Good luck!

@Craig Moore - Welcome to BP. IF you are serious about doing REI, I recommend you become a PRO member so you can start analyzing deals. Also I would listen to every single podcast.

I with @Parish Benoit use the one the the regular agents use, just make sure it is "assignable" Most are as a matter of default so I am told.  

Attorney for sure.
