I laugh everytime people saying investing in Short Sales & Foreclosures doesn't work.  Our biggest Short Sale Deal that closed last year, we made $250k.  It was a team effort and the players on the team had good coaches. Matt & Dawn found the deal in Denver.

SO, who is on your team? And, WHO is your Coach? 

A very successful man once told me find someone who has want you want and do what they do!

Below is a picture from the Arizona Cardinals Playoff game Saturday I attended with Matt, Mike, & Jared.  We had great seats for the first playoff victory for the Cardinals in a long time.

It just goes to show with the right players on your team and a good coach you can accomplish anything. 

Short Sales & Foreclosures continue to dominate the market and if you wnat to make money in Real Estate you need to learn how to work short sales either as an investor, a Realtor, or both.

Tis the season to find more distressed properties than ever before.  

 I have been investing in foreclosures & short sales since 2003.  Over the last 6 years it has been a crazy ride but NONE better than right now.  I remember having to "convince" sellers to short sale their house as if they had another option.  Today we have sellers calling us saying "can you please short sale my house"  If you ever wanted to get involved in the foreclosure industry you could not have picked a better time.  While it is a buyers market and you will get better deals you will also have to sell at bigger discounts, but that's okay.  You will aloso have deals that fall apart due to the market and buyers financing, HOWEVER there are so many opportunities out there to work that is does not matter.

This year we bought and sold over $50 million worth of real estate and 2009 will be even better!

My most successful 3 ways of finding good deals are:

1. Knocking on doors of people in pre-foreclosure
2. Mailing letter to people in pre-foreclosure
3. Contacting Realtors to buy their short sale listings or expired listings

Below are a couple links to articles that Done Deal was written about.

The first one is from an interview from Washington CEO magazine, about how the new foreclosure laws effect us as an investor

The 2nd article was in the real estate section of the Arizona Republic newspaper and features a deal that Beth Hickey found, which broke a company record for gross profit.  Brian North negotiated this deal.
