(Email and phone blast that just went out)

Good Morning [First Name],

This is our 2nd meeting of 2012, Happy New Year if we haven’t seen each other yet and THIS EVENING is one of our most important meetings of the year. I’ll be setting the stage with the DOM that’s Days On the Market for unsold property. What’s your “farm” area that we can cover at this meeting?

1. As you look around at our current Real Estate landscape, you’ll notice a lot of homes languishing on the market. In addition to price, there’s the “curb” or as Karen puts it 90% of Buyers will not even look at a house for sale if they do not like the On-Line pictures. It’s a new day now and instead of driving around all weekend in the hopes of catching something under the radar, people now look On-Line. She’ll be showing us how to maximize our opportunities. In other words there’s an Art Form she’s mastered just on how to take those “postage-stamp” sized pictures that are your 9 seconds of exposure to a Buyer.

Karen – “….  if you want to let members know that I will also be talking on “staging for investors” which is proven to sell properties faster and for more money. In addition there’s staging tips and tricks they can do themselves and most importantly when they would need to hire a professional stager.” Finally she’s got a Special Report on Staging – Tips, Tricks and the Most Effective Techniques ONLY for those attending TONIGHT.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 6:30 – 9:00PM:

Karen will be showing us how to “Get it Sold before it’s Old” with her expert Staging Techniques. If you’ve got a house ready for the Spring market or one that’s been languishing for a while, here’s your chance to REALLY get it ready. We’ll also be covering Insulation and it’s payback although it’s been a mild Winter so far. Then reasonable HomeOwners and Fire Policies with Big savings, who couldn’t use a few bucks to put back into property upgrades? Or buy your spouse something nice!

2. Also Bank owned (big discounted) property. Incidentally if you’re looking at Jumbos (financing over $417k) you may want to give me a quick shout 781-248-6907 cell or email Mike.Hurney@gmacm.com we’re kicking it with the lowest Jumbo rates right now!

January 31, 2012 6:30 – 9:00 pm At the SpringHill Suites Hotel, 43 Newbury Street, Peabody, MA 01960 978-535-5000 FREE to members, only $25 for guests. $99/year ($8.25/meeting) for membership! Follow-up on Short-Sales, Foreclosures, Auctions and Karen has been buried with Staging work and will take most of the evening, which she really needs, to get us up to speed on “Get it Sold before it’s Old”. Insulation payback, reduced price Homeowners/fire policies and Bank Owned Real Estate. Buy/Sell, Networking and refreshments. Let’s start the year off right, see you there This Evening! Mike

Good afternoon Fellow Real Estate Investors,

1. Next Tuesday:

Karen will be showing us how to “Get it Sold before it’s Old” with her expert Staging Techniques. If you’ve got a house ready for the Spring market or one that’s been languishing for a while, here’s your chance to REALLY get it ready. We’ll also be covering Insulation and it’s payback although it’s been a mild Winter so far.

3. I attended a Condominium Expo last year and there’s another upcoming on May 22, 2012 This is mainly for Boards, not necessarily individual buyers. I mention this because management, funding and maintenance topics have come up at our meetings. In the latest edition of their monthly, two articles that pertain to our discussion “Struggling Loan Programs Will Impact HOAs” and recent changes in the Mass Supreme court on “Dealing with Snow & Ice Accumulations” by Howard Goldman. Both excellent articles which I’ll bring copies of to the next meeting if you’d like?

4. I also heard Jennifer Athas speak on Barry Armstrongs 680 AM WRKO “Lunch Money” daily show 12-1PM. She’s also got an article in todays Boston Herald on pockets of Cape Cod – “Mild Winter heating up Cape Sales” very interesting!

Hey Members, here’s a quick review of 2011 and with your help and suggestions 2012 should be even better! Mike

2011

December 27, 2011 Not what you make but what you keep. Odds of making $ in RealEstate

I’ll be speaking about the “odds” of making it in Real Estate. I believe it’s one in ten if you follow Lessons 1-12 which I’ll cover tonight. This versus the common misconception that you can do it in a one hit lottery style. Incidentally Quick Pic for tonight has $206M prize with odds something like 1 in 175,711,536 (based on their payout from David Baker at the Commission) want a chance? See you tonight. By the way National Institute of Lightning Safety estimates the chances of Lightning striking you are 1 in 280,000,000. I’ll take Real Estate and You’ll see how tonight. Also let’s get up to speed on the huge profitable field of Short Sales, REOs (Bank Owned Real Estate) and Auctions. Mike

Lessons 1-12* I spoke about the “odds” of making it in Real Estate. I believe it’s one in ten if you follow Lessons 1-12 (below) which I covered from my course “How to Become a Real Estate Investor in 12 Easy Lessons” which is only $599. for non Members and $499. for members ($99/year to join MassRealEstate.net)

Also borrowing against your home to convert nondeductible personal interest into deductible home equity interest. Tax Opportunities for “Real Estate Professionals” let’s you avoid “passive income” limits on Real Estate losses. Tax on most long-term capital gains is capped at 15% but that capital gains can cost you valuable deductions, credits, allowances and subject you to the Alternative Minimum Tax, Steve will make sure we understand this and more… Witholding and Estimated Tax payments, Repairs vs Improvements, Depreciating Real Estate for Maximum Savings when you “Cost Segregating” strategies….

You can learn those rules tonight with the Housing Judge who’s seen it all. What are the trends in Court and how are cases being handled?

3. Several years ago Harvard University issued a paper that concluded: We in the northeast had not been hit with a serious Hurricane that had caused significant damage and we may be due for one in the near future. (Duh…) All the insurance companies in the area took this opportunity to either discontinue Storm Damage clauses or restrict the payouts. Typically policy costs increased dramatically and most of Cape Cod had to be covered by an “assigned risk pool”. Lately Narragansett Bay has entered the arena with reduced cost policies. If you’re coverage has increased dramatically because of this study? You need to be here tonight and hear how to save money.

4. Our Advisor and annual Speaker, Rick the Junk Yard Dog of Evictions had this to pass on: “If you’re not receiving timely Rental payments it’s unlikely that will get better. If someone is behind in paying, Why wait? You can always slow down the Eviction process but you can’t speed it up. 14 day notice, 3 weeks to get into Court (barring any of the mistakes Landlords usually make like Security Deposit infractions), two weeks for a decision and  2 months to clear out. Add that to some already behind rent and you’re talking serious money. Act now!”

Good Afternoon Fellow Investors,

Interesting meeting Tuesday. I demonstrated the favorable odds of making it in Real Estate and

* Steve the CFP covered: Instant Tax Relief –
10 Biggest Mistakes of Real Estate Investors

how to break down our expenses and a lot of time on how to categorize Repairs vs Improvements which makes a huge difference on our tax Return$. He also offered his Presentation and a reduced rate to everyone who attended.

* I spoke about the “odds” of making it in Real Estate. I believe it’s one in ten if you follow Lessons 1-12 (below) which I covered from my course “How to Become a Real Estate Investor in 12 Easy Lessons” which is only $599. for non Members and $499. for members ($99/year to join MassRealEstate.net)

Lesson 1. Stake out your Territory.

2. What’s the Traffic in that area?

3. Friends and Influences.

4. Make an Offer.

5. Qualify a Buyer.

6. “Comps”

7. CounterOffers.

8. Rehabbing and Estimating.

9. To Flip or Not to Flip.

10. The dirtest 11 letter word.

11. Networking.

12. Vision

At our meeting we handed out a Massachusetts Mega Million Lottery ticket to everyone who attended (75 Total). The prize $206M with odds something like 1 in 175,711,536 (based on their payout from David Baker at the Commission). The numbers drawn Tuesday at 11pm were 23-32-33-39-43 (08) Unfortunately there were No winners out of the 75. Incidentally before our meeting Allison said “Oh my goodness what if someone actually wins?” Then I’ll probably be considered the largest benefactor ($206M) in the History of Massachusetts;-) I believe many folks think Real Estate is a quick-hit way to make money then you can relax, like the Lottery leads us to believe. My point The Lottery is NOT easy to make money on, as we saw Tuesday and if you follow a plan with consistency and effort you’ll do very well in Real Estate.

Right now my Course is available, just email me Mike@MassRealEstate.net

I’m starting a series with everyone who belongs to or attends our meetings. First on Tuesday’s I’ll send your ” Weekly List of Short-Sale, Lender Owned properties” Please select the City/Town you’d like? Today I’m sending Malden to everyone as an example. Then on Friday’s I’ll select the Best Buy of the week and arrange a Private Showing for you on (example Saturday at 11am) and let you know why it’s the Best Buy. My Goal for 2012 is to have everyone in the Association be educated in the Short-Sale, Foreclosure, Auction process and know how to take advantage of these opportunities.

Good Morning [First Name],
1. Last Friday (Movers and Shakers) we spent a lot of time with Ron, who’s getting back into the business. Mainly we focused on THE essential path to take while getting property Under Agreement otherwise you have NO claim to it, as you try to market and sell the deal. Next a fair amount of time on Rehabbing Costs vs Tear downs and finally How to get Attention. As in you’ve scoured the market, found a deal, run your numbers, submitted an offer and ….. Nothing, no response back. (that had the easiest solution.)

2. REO property of the week (make an offer!) See picture and information below:
