MAKING A FORTUNE PURCHASING FORECLOSED, DEFAULTED and REO PROPERTIES FROM BANKS
Seminar, No-Host Lunch and Optional Tour
Real Estate will produce many millionaires in the next five years.
Discover how you can become part of that explosion by learning the best
places to purchase in California and out of state.
There are currently thousands of REO’s all over the U.S. The January
2007 issue of DSNews states that nationwide foreclosures (are)
occurring at a record-setting pace. No doubt, REOs will dramatically
increase for the next 10 years. This seminar will show you how to find
these properties before anyone else knows about them so you can then
make successful offers. You can select REOs from $85,000 and up, to
$1,000,000 homes, with low down and easy qualifying. Every area
differs dramatically. There are very few REOs in California yet, but
be prepared when they are. Otherwise there are thousands in great
areas in the U.S. with management provided.
Seminar --- Starts in the morning at 9:00 am. Here is what you will learn.
• The best locations to purchase in for the highest appreciation
• How to find REOs before everyone else does
• How to purchase REOs with little down
• How to find which lenders will make the best deals
• What kind of properties appreciate the most
• How to purchase property directly from people in foreclosure for the best deals
Lunch --- 12:30-2:00 pm No-host lunch and Q & A with instructor
Tour --- 4:30-5:30 pm You will see actual REOs on the market pending
availability. There is nothing more valuable than to take the
information from the classroom and apply it to actual properties.
• Learn how to select great neighborhoods where homes have the greatest
chance of appreciating.
• Learn what to look for in a great house to live or rent.
• Discover how to check out a property for potential problems.
• Learn how to identify the great attributes of a home that will sell for more later.
Marshall Reddick, PhD, former Professor of Business and Economics at
California State University, Los Angeles, and a very popular real
estate lecturer, purchases 10 to 20 foreclosure properties per year,
some of which are REOs.
