In a business such as ours, there are MANY gray areas. But, do you actually know what is gray and what is not?

I think investors as a whole have a bad reputation. People think of us as sharks, piranhas, and vultures. They think we thrive on taking advantage of people in distress to better ourselves. I don’t believe that is true. I see investors as a group of folks who help people out of stressful situations. The people we help have gotten themselves into their situation and we are there to offer a ...

Most of the investors we know work from home. When you make a new contact do they get the impression you have a home office or that you are part of a larger corporation? There are several ways to give off the appearance of a larger company when in reality it is just you, your back bedroom, and a few good pieces of equipment.

We think that many new investors, who watch too much late-night TV, are under the impression that if they decide to become an investor, the “investor fairy” will drop deals out of the sky. Not true! Investors actu...

It is funny how many investors don’t want to learn scripts, but use them everyday. Each time you speak to a homeowner, most likely you say the same thing and ask the same questions. Whether you realize it or not, these are scripts. Distressed homeowners have scripts, too. To successfully lead the conversation you will need to do three things: Repeat, Approve, and Respond.
