acant properties present a higher level of exposure from

almost all the perils insured by a fire policy. Particular

concerns are increased exposures from fire, theft and

vandalism. Because of these increased exposures, a minimum

level of protection and supervision are recommended to

protect your interests. These guidelines can also be used when

just a portion of a building is vacant and there are no prospects

for immediate occupancy.

Minimum visits to the location should be made per the

frequencies oulined in your policy.

Prior to entering the dwelling, a complete tour of the exterior

of the dwelling should be completed,

noting any vandalism or attempts at entry into the property.

All combustibles should have already been removed from the

exterior of the dwelling to reduce the potential for fire due to

vandalism. If it appears entry has been made, the local police

department should be contacted prior to entering the home

to complete the tour.

It is important the visits be thorough and documented and

not just a drive-by which will not reveal

the conditions inside the dwelling.

The interior tour of the dwelling should include all areas

If the roof is accessible, it should be included in the tour to

evaluate any potential exposures. These conditions can include

clogged roof drains, rooftop structure damage from recent

storms, vegetation growth on the roof, or evidence of

unauthorized access via roof hatches, skylights or stairwell

doors

REAL ESTATE HYPNOSIS

by Chris McClatchey

hyp·no·sis (hp-nss)

n. pl. hyp·no·ses (-sz)

An artificially induced

altered state of

consciousness

Real Estate Hypnosis is the artificialinduction of believing the “rules” of realestate don’t change. That well establishedprinciples of real estate must be followedor you risk failure. Real Estate Hypnosis isan industry wide belief that success canonly come by doing what other successfulinvestors have done in the past. In otherwords, Real Estate Hypnosis is teachingall investors to do the same thing. It’ssetting forth artificial guidelines thatmust be followed and therefore, we asinvestors lose the very essence of whatmakes investing in real estate so great.Creativity!

Throughout the course of history, thepeople that are remembered, are thepeople that did things differently. Theybucked the trend. They did things societyor industries told them couldn’t be done.They sang songs and played music the“public” didn’t approve of. In other words,they diagnosed the hypnosis societywas imposing upon them and did thingstheir way, despite the potential backlash.

Do you often wonder why you haven’tdone a real estate deal. Do you want to domore deals? Are you frustrated becausethere is so much competition with other

Diagnosing the 3 Biggest Lies ofReal Estate Investing

investors? How would you like to find deals otherinvestors don’t know about? If youanswered “yes” to any of thesequestions, you have to get rid of yourReal Estate Hypnosis and start doingthings differently.

Don’t know where to start? Well, let’sstart from the beginning. Have youheard other investors tell these “Lies”?1) “You make money when you buy”; 2)“You need money to make money”; 3)It’s all in the numbers.

MAREI.org 17

Ask any real estate investor and they’ll tell you that time is money and the moretime you have to spend cleaning up a mess – whether it’s coordinating others ordoing it yourself – directly eats into your bottom line. That’s why National REIA haspartnered with renowned debris removers 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.

They are the full-service professionals when itcomes to junk removal. Your membership inNational REIA earns you 10% discount on

services from 1-880-GOT-JUNK?. See themembership guide for details.

Let’s dismantle these Lies.

Lie #1: “You make money when you buy”– I can’t tell you how often I hear thisoutdated cliché. When I first startedinvesting, every “guru” I heard wasteaching techniques on how to get theseller down on his price. “Beat the SellerUp”, “Low Ball the Seller” and/or “Makethe Seller give you their price first”. Theyeven teach the “Offer Formula”. Youknow the one where they tell you to offerthe seller 65% of the ARV (after repairvalue) minus the repairs. I hate thisformula and I hated “beating up” thesellers on their asking price. Frankly, thereason most of you aren’t doing moredeals is because you are following thisarchaic formula.

Truth #1: “Price is irrelevant” – What if Itold you that you could pay full askingprice and still be massively profitable.What if I told you that you could offerMORE than asking price and still bemassively profitable. Most people lookat price and the single most important item when deciding to buy or sell a home.I could care less about the price. I wantthe seller focused on the price, so that Ican focus on what I want. Terms!

Lie #2: “You need money to makemoney” – This is the most powerful

hypnotic lie for most investors. For mostof my students this is the biggest barrierthey need to break down. This is thesingle most powerful belief preventingyour success. I know. I believed it for avery long time myself. I thought, if I don’thave money to invest, how am I going tobuy a house or rental property. However,I am living proof that you don’t needmoney to make money. I had no moneywhen I first started. When I say no money,I mean no money. In fact, myvery first deal I didn’t have the $4,000.00in closing costs needed to close thedeal. I took out a cash advance credit cardloan to pay for it. Yet today, I am awell established millionaire. You can betoo. You just have to disregard the beliefthat you need money to invest.

Truth #2: “The money is the easy part” - Itell all my students “If the deal is goodenough, the money will find you.” It’s true.There is so much money out there.www.MyRealWealth.com Just becauseyou don’t have money, doesn’t mean theguy next you doesn’t either. In fact, mostof my students are amazed at how quicklythe money comes to them when they sendit out. You see, if you are analyzing yourdeals the right way. If you are writingyour offers the right way and the dealworks, the money is the easy part. I knowthat may be hard for some of you to

believe, but I want you to really work onbelieving that that money will find you,once you have a good deal.

Lie #3: “It’s all in the numbers” – Don’tmis-read this! The numbers are veryimportant. If your numbers are off, youcan turn a good deal into a bad deal veryquickly. The reason this is a real estate lie,is because “experts” teach you to: a) FindLeads; b) analyze the numbers; and c)write your offers. Again, these 3 steps areimportant steps, however they are missingthe biggest piece. Thecommunicationpiece. How are we negotiating. How arewe overcoming the seller’s objections.How are we getting them to a “yes” state.The numbers are important. Yet, if you arefocusing on the numbers, it’s the reasonsyou are not doing more deals.

Truth #3: “Communication is the key tosuccess” - Every word you use. Everyphrase you speak has an impact. Thatimpact can be negative or positive. Thewords you use, the way you dress, howyou hold your body language and thetone of your voice, will determine howmany deals you do. You see, seller’s wantyou to be the expert. They want you to betheir problem solver. They called youto help them. To be the expert, you haveto act like an expert. This may bechallenging for someone who is new to thebusiness or may not have a lot ofexperience. That is why we teach you howto walk, talk and dress. You need toknow how to write contracts that deflectobjections. You need to know the wordsthat bypass the conscious filters. You needto know how to develop rapport witha seller simply by mirroring their bodymovement and language patterns. If youdo these things, you will be a mastercommunicator and master communicatorsare the investors doing the most deals.

N O M A D I C | 2 4I L E G I S L A T I V E S P O T L I G H T

The Seller Finance Coalition (SFC) is excited to announce theintroduction of H.R.5301, The Seller Finance Enhancement Act.We thank our CoLeaders, Rep. Roger Williams (TX-25) and Rep.Henry Cuellar (TX-28), as well as original co-sponsors Rep. JimBridenstine (OK -1), Rep. Alan Grayson (FL-9) Rep. MickMulvaney (SC -5), Rep. Randy Neugebauer (TX-19), and Rep.Bobby Rush (IL-1). We look forward to working with Congressto enact this legislation into law this Congress.

The Seller Finance Coalition was formed in February of 2014 toadvance the interest of the seller finance industry. Foundingmembers of the SFC include Glenn Lee of Texas Funding, BobRepass and Eddie Speed of Colonial Funding Group, Scot

Campbell of S.R. Campbell Properties, and Doug Smith of MyHouse Deals. Last year the National Real Estate InvestorsAssociation joined as our largest member bringing with it over40,000 members nationwide.

This bill makes minor changes to the rules governing thismarket to allow for more flexibility and greaterdynamism. Below is information on HR 5301:

HR 5301 amends the Dodd/Frank to allow up to 2 seller-financed transactions per month (24/yr.) without the needfor the seller to be licensed as a mortgage originator.HR 5301 requires the Treasury Department to study theLVH market over the next 3 years and report back toCongress with suggestions for steps to improve the salesand financing of these homes. HR 5301 does not remove any of the safeguards related tothese transactions. Seller financiers must still comply with“ability-to-pay” portions of Dodd-Frank, as well as interestrate rules and the ban on balloon payments.

HR 5301 helps ease the credit crunch in the Low ValueHome market by giving seller financiers the opportunity toprovide this much-needed service to under served buyers.

(2) Contact your member of Congress at theirlocal office by first faxing to them the 1-pagepress release that is available atwww.MAREI.org/GrassRoots. Make sure youfollow up with their office by calling later to thankthem for considering co-sponsoring thebipartisan legislation known as HR-5301, theSeller Finance Enhancement Act.

If each member’s office receives multiple faxesand phone calls relative to this legislation, it’sgoing to raise their awareness.

perspective, but from a powerful multi-pointpolitical perspective. Congressman RogerWilliams of Texas (R) is a powerful voice for freeenterprise.

To continue moving forward with HR-5301,more co-sponsors need to be added. They weresuccessful in getting commitments from severalmembers of Congress to join as co-sponsors onthis legislation, and that momentum needs tocontinue.

We are asking you to do two things:

(1) Go to SellerFinanceCoalition.org and registeras a grass-roots member by giving a minimumdonation of $100.

SFC members Bob Repass, Jeff Watson andCharles Tassel went to Capitol Hill in June. Whenthey showed Members of Congress the diversityof the co-sponsors on HR-5301, you could senserelief and optimism. From Former Black PantherCongressman Bobby Rush of Illinois (D) to liberalfirebrand Alan Grayson of Florida (D), some ofthe most conservative and most liberal arecoming together. All recognize the negativeimpact that Dodd-Frank is having on theirconstituency when it comes to home ownership.

HR-5301 is a solution to allow their constituentsto buy properties with the help and assistance ofthe owners who want to carry the financing. We have a compelling argument, not just from a free enterprise
