Lance Young
My Real Estate Course and proven methods are the best way for a "regular person" to make money in their spare time investing in real estate.
I know, because I am a "regular guy" myself and I really do average over $100/hour doing exactly what I'll show you in my easy-to-follow course. Some of my students who have purchased my courses do even better than that!
I know that not everyone who could benefit from my courses will order them, and that upsets me personally, because I know first-hand from the countless letters, emails, and phone calls from my students how valuable they are.
So I sat up late one night and tried to think up every question someone
might have that would keep them from ordering, and I'd like to address
them here:

4. How much money can I expect to make on my first deal?
Just ask W. Davis of Philadelphia, PA. He recently made $20,000 on his first preforeclosure deal! Prior to getting my courses, Mr. Davis knew nothing about real estate, yet he was able to make a huge profit by using just one of my methods. , Click Here to see how he did it and how many of my students are making huge profits like this!
5. What is a short sale?
6. When and how should a short sale be used?
7. What kind of earnings are possible with foreclosure auctions?
The investor who bought the property from me was very happy to pay $68,000 for a property worth $130,000. After all, he paid close to half price for it! Now he wants to buy more foreclosure properties from me. Do you think there are a lot of people in every town who would love to get deals this good? You bet there are.
This was a very simple deal that took only two days to complete. I didn't have to come up with a lot of money and I did not need to have any repairs done to the condominium.
I just found a great deal and immediately resold it for a very fast profit. You can do the same exact thing.
8. What about the potential of bank repossessed houses?

Before making my offer to the bank I called a local cement company and was surprised to find that it would only cost a few thousand dollars to fill up the hole. Now that I knew how much money would need to be spent on repairs, I checked and found out that the property was worth $130,000. I was now ready to make the bank a very low offer.
I knew that the bank was willing to sell at a big discount, so I decided to make an extra low offer. I offered the bank $21,400 for the house. The bank did not want to deal with filling in the hole with cement and my offer was accepted! That's right, I paid only $21,400 for a townhouse worth $130,000. That's half of what the land was worth!
Now that I had a very good deal, I wanted to minimize my risk. I did not want to do any repairs to the property. As soon as my offer to the bank was accepted, I turned right around and "flipped" the property to an investor for $55,000. I told the investor to call the City of Dumfries and verify what I had been told. He checked and realized that problem amounted to filling a hole with cement. The investor was happy to buy a $130,000 townhouse for only $55,000.
All I did was take a property that I paid $21,400 for and "flipped" it to a local investor for $55,000. My profit on this deal was $33,600 .
You can find great real estate foreclosure deals like this in every area of the country. To make good money in real estate, all you need to know is how to find good deals and resell them to other investors. And don't worry, finding investors is covered in detail in the course. The real-life deals you've read are no more complicated than they seem. All I did, in each case, was find a property that I could buy at a deep discount, then quickly resold it for a large profit. Each of my courses will give you easy, step-by-step methods that will teach you how to make big profits with foreclosure real estate -- the exact same way that I'm doing it .
9. Can I make as much money with probate houses?
A probate house is a house that someone has inherited. Many people who inherit a house would like to sell it quickly so they can get their inheritance money. This is where you step in. You can buy probate houses dirt cheap, then turn around and resell them for large profits. What could be easier?
Earlier this year, I bought a probate townhouse in Annandale, Virginia. Actually, I didn't buy the property, my investor did. I found the probate house and my investor put up all of the money. We agreed to split the profit 50/50.
My investor paid $103,000 for the property. Then we had it painted and carpeted and put it up for sale with a real estate agent. Guess what? It sold in three days for its full value of $159,000! After deducting expenses, my investor and I made a fast and easy $12,240 each !
This deal was not complicated. Anyone could have done it if they had known the right steps to take. With the easy-to-follow steps outlined in my courses, you too will make huge profits in real estate investing.
I'll show you easy ways to find investors. You can have your investor put up all the money on your deals, just like I did with the probate townhouse. When the property sells, you get one-half of the profit without using any of your own money!
If you don't want to partner the deal with an investor, you always have the option of flipping it to him. When flipping a house, all you are doing is quickly reselling it to someone else. This can be done with only $10 of your own money. How to flip houses using only $10 of your own money is covered completely in the course. You also get complete details on easy ways to find investors who will buy as many houses as you can find!

Preforeclosures are also listed in a special section of your local newspaper.

You also get complete information on how to find hundreds of probate houses in your area. Probate houses are even easier to find than home foreclosures! You get tried and tested methods for finding them -- quickly and easily.
11. How do I find investors who will buy my investment properties?
One way to find investors is by placing a small, inexpensive ad in your local newspaper. You will only need to run one ad. The ad is included with the course.
There are many people in every area of the country who would love to buy a house from you at a deep discount. By running one inexpensive ad, you will have more than enough investors to sell your houses to.
12. Can I buy a homeowner's house at a deep discount if he has a bank loan?
For example, if a house were worth $200,000 and the homeowner only owed the bank $100,000 you would want to contact him about buying his house. If the house were worth $200,000 and the homeowner owed $190,000 you would not want to waste your time on it because there is very little equity. The homeowner cannot sell to you at a discount.
When investing in preforeclosure properties, you want to find the good deals quickly and easily so you don't spend a lot of time at it. The course teaches you exactly how to do this.
With probate houses, you will find that almost all of them have no mortgages on them . There is nothing owed against the house. This means that the person who has inherited the house can afford to sell it to you very cheaply and still end up with a lot of money.
13. Why would a homeowner sell his house to me at such a deep discount?
There are many reasons why you can get great deals on preforeclosure houses.
The two biggest reasons are the amount of time the homeowner has before the
foreclosure auction, and the condition that the house is in.
Many homeowners don't decide they need to sell their house until it is too
late. By the time the homeowner decides he has a real problem, there just
isn't enough time to find a buyer.
Another common reason that homeowners are not able to sell their house is
because they have let it get run down. A house that looks run down is very
difficult to sell.
Just about all houses subject to bank foreclosures need painting, carpeting
and a variety of cosmetic repairs. People who can't keep up their mortgage
payments certainly don't have money to keep their house maintained.
99% of all home buyers are looking for a home that they can move into immediately.
They do not want to make any repairs. Foreclosure homes are not appealing to
them.
Even if the homeowner puts the house up for sale at a discounted price, it
often sits on the market for a long, long time.
The course teaches you effective ways to find these types of houses at deep
discounts and resell them for large profits.
14. Why would a person sell me a probate house at such a deep discount?
- The heirs already own a home and cannot afford to maintain another. They are willing to sell the probate house at a low price just to get rid of it quickly.
- The condition of the property. Many probate houses are in need of cosmetic repairs and updating. Most heirs do not want the hassles of making repairs to a house. They would rather sell it right away.
- In most inheritance situations, there is more than one heir involved. Often, one heir wants his money right away. This person puts pressure on the others to sell the house to the first person who comes along.
- The heirs live out of state and regard trying to sell a property from a long distance as a huge headache.
15. How long does it take to complete a deal?
Of course, you always have the option of keeping the property and having it fixed up, then reselling it for full value. Your profit will be much larger because you can get close to full price when selling to home buyers. It takes about three months to complete a deal this way but the extra profit is well worth it.
