What’s Working Now 2009

Dear Friend,
So is this crazy or what?
Yes, you heard right. Steve Cook (of FlippingHomes.com) and Shaun McCloskey (of ShortSaleWealth.com) are officially teaming up to present an unprecedented real estate investing training event that is entirely unlike anything the industry – and even Shaun and Steve – have ever seen or done before!
REI 2009: “What’s It All About?”
As you might have guessed, this is all about what’s working right now. Today. In 2009.
This is completely unique, totally fresh, bleeding-edge information that’s never been taught like this. Its tailor made to equip, arm and push today’s real estate investor (i.e. YOU) to begin exploiting today’s new market and enjoying bigger real estate profits than ever before.
If you want to succeed in today’s evolving real estate arena, you need be equipped with the information they’ll be revealing with you at this event.
“How to Exploit a New Market…”
As you know, the rules are seriously changing in the real estate investing game. The real estate market of 2009 is a horse of a completely different color for most of us.
Because of this, the sad truth is we’re now faced with a real estate investing industry teeming with people who feel battered, confused, unsure of how to make sense of it all, and all too often struggling just to make it.
But there’s also another group of investors today. An “in the know” group who are frankly not only surviving, but actually thriving in today’s market…and making more money than ever before.
These are savvy investors who not only recognize the once in a lifetime opportunity 2009 is offering, but have positioned themselves to extract big profits from it.
This event is tailor made to help you become part of this “in the know” group of investors.
Shaun and Steve will be focusing hard on teaching you how to start benefiting (and profiting) from some of the subtle-but-powerful differences in today’s real estate market. They will identify new hurdles and how to overcome them, and they’ll also unveil brand new opportunities that most aren’t even aware of (and how to profit from them).
If you’re serious about succeeding in today’s ever changing real estate market, you should seriously consider what’s going to be openly shared by these two industry experts at this event.
“Specifically What Will I Learn?”
First off, please understand this is NOT a “business in a box” type of training event - at least not the live sessions.
Of course, everyone needs a solid foundation underlying their real estate endeavors. To help ensure just that, Steve and Shaun are basically giving away the farm with their entire collection of “business in a box” REI courses (more later, but see the bonuses below…and be impressed
)
At this event Steve and Shaun will be “going deep” into 8 specific topics…
What Steve Cook will be teaching:
1 ) “How to Get All the Money You Need for Your Deals from Local Banks & Private Lenders”…
Would you do more deals (or deals at all) if the money was available?
We keep hearing that money is drying up and that no one can get money to do real estate deals anymore. I don’t know where that is coming from because that is not the case for me and my students. We have not missed out on, or lost one deal because money is not available. As a matter of fact, we have more money available to us then we can use.
The problem that I see with most people is that they are too scared to ask for money, or more importantly they do not know how to ask. The truth is, it’s scary to ask when you don’t know what to expect or how to handle the responses. At this event, we’re going to teach you step by step how to deal with lenders, exactly what to say to them, and have them begging you to borrow money from them. Yes, even in today’s market! (and even though you may have heard differently…)
2 ) “How to Cherry Pick Great Deals from the MLS”…
Ever feel like there’s an ocean of deals to be found in the MLS, but not sure how to find them?
If you’ve been struggling to farm the MLS for profitable deals (maybe you’re even frustrated by the whole process) then you won’t want to miss this session!
The reality is, the MLS game has changed in 2009 as well. And there’s a reason you don’t find as many deals as you used to. But if you understand how to work the MLS today, you can still cherry pick the absolute best deals for yourself. Which means more profits in less time, leaving you more time to do the other things in life that you love to do.
I don’t know of anyone else teaching it like this.
3 ) “The Art of Turning Inventory in 2009”…
I have one word for you- Value!
The markets have changed, and if you are stuck in the old way of thinking, you aren’t effectively selling anything today. We used to be a nation that prided itself on quality, and we were willing to pay more for it. This is not longer the case. If you expect to get more for your quality product, you’re going to be sitting on a lot of inventory.
While there has always been a portion of the market that has focused on value, it is now the overwhelming majority of people who are seeking out value. In fact there are very few people who are willing to pay more for quality in these times.
I’m involved in many deals and the majority of our deals go under contract within 14 days. This is unheard of and for many unbelievable. I’m going to share with you the secrets to moving inventory in 2009.
4 ) “Assessing Deals Fast: How to Know Your Values in Today’s Market”…
Ever lose a great deal because it took you so long to assess the deal that someone else snatched right out from under you?
It takes time to get to know values, how to estimate repairs and make offers on homes. The more time it takes you, the more likely you are to miss out on deals because you took too long to get the job done.
FACT: The best deals are often snatched up by those who are quicker than you, and you’re always stuck pursuing the “leftovers” from the investors who have their act together. At this event we’re going to equip you with the knowledge, mindset and confidence to assess value and repairs quickly so you make decisions quickly, confidently and BE the early bird that gets the best worms!
A Word from Steve…
“It’s no secret the economy is bad - everyone is talking about it. You can’t turn on a TV or pick up a newspaper without seeing it. Frankly this way of thinking is affecting and hurting a lot of people.
I have three words for you: Get Over It!
My closest students are not complaining. In fact, they’re all thriving in this market. That’s because rather than being scared by it all, we’re finding the new opportunities.
Get your head out of the sand! This is one of the best markets you will ever experience for making money. When everyone else is running away, you should be out there doing deals. I am. Think about it, there were more multimillionaires made during the depression than any other time in history!!! Those equipped with the right insider information always come out ahead.
If this strikes a cord with you, I invite you to join Shaun and I as we show you how to join us and start mining the acres of diamonds all around you.”
.
What Shaun McCloskey will be teaching:
5 ) “How to Cash HUGE Checks in High End Short Sales”…

There is an enormous, largely untapped opportunity to make BIG money in the realm of short selling higher end properties. Don’t be intimidated by this - it’s not nearly as hard or as risky as you might think!
In the past 60 days alone, I’ve received an unprecedented number of thank you emails from students cashing mind blowing checks by short selling properties that are $200K above average for their area.
* One student just made $103,000 NET cash on a short sale flip.
* Another student recently made $86,000 NET cash on a short sale flip.
* Another student is closing a deal this week which will net him close to $125,000.
The truth is, it takes the same amount of work to make $5K as it does to make $100K on a deal - so why not incorporate some of these bigger paydays into your business model? I’ll show how to flip high end properties with brand new techniques no one else is teaching right now, and with no money needed from you!
6 ) “Never Pay for Marketing Again! (How to generate all the fully qualified preforeclosure short sale leads you’ll EVER be able to handle all for the low cost of… FREE!)”…
BEFORE: Not long ago I was paying $6,000+/month in marketing expenses to generate enough leads to keep the pipeline full.
NOW: As of 11 months ago, I COMPLETELY stopped paying for marketing. My marketing costs are now ZERO dollars per month and I have more qualified leads coming in than ever before.
How did I do it? By crafting a foolproof system for generating leads by networking with real estate agents. BUT…the way I do is far different than anything you’ve likely heard before.
I’m going to show you the exact step by step process that I used, and I now have more than 176 real estate agents sending me all of their very best pre-foreclosure leads, all with no cost to me. I don’t waste time pre-qualifying leads or paying for marketing any more.
These days, I have realtors do all of this work for me. When a short sale lead comes across my desk, I already know that it’s a qualified lead ready to sign on the dotted line, and it costs me absolutely nothing to generate!
This information alone is worth the entire price of admission.
7 ) “Advanced Short Sale Deal Structuring”…

By far my favorite topic! Here is where we separate the big dogs from the newbies! I’ll show you very specifically which short sale deals to go after today, and which ones to avoid, and why.
Did you know that there are specific lenders out there that have full permission to accept as little as $.05 on the dollar for a short sale without even getting their supervisors approval?
One of the advanced deal structuring techniques that I’ll show you has generated one of my students a recurring income of close to $1,500 every single month, all with no more work than he was ALREADY doing in his short sale business.
I’ll show you how to be more effective when negotiating with multiple lenders, how to get foreclosure sale dates postponed almost every time, and how to know EXACTLY what to offer a bank to get the approval flip a house and cash a sizeable paycheck.
8 ) “The Art of Conversion”…
One major hurdle that I’ve had to help many of my coaching students overcome is this: Even when my students are successful getting leads flowing in through the door, many of the leads they’re getting come from sellers that are unrealistic or are dead set on staying in the house.
One student recently told me that close to 85% of his marketing leads were either unmotivated, unwilling, or just didn’t want to face the reality that a foreclosure was imminent.
I’m going to show you a very specific process that I take each homeowner through that converts them from someone that is dead set on keeping their house, to someone ready to literally hand it over to you - and you’ll be able to do this with integrity, hardly any effort and absolutely no high pressure sales tactics. You’ll have sellers begging you to buy their house rather than you having to talk them into selling it. Until now, this information has never been shared before.
A Word from Shaun…
“The bottom line is that there are a handful of people that are making a lot of money in real estate right now, and there a lot of others that are barely surviving. My hope for you is that you’ll make a decision to be one of the few that prosper rather than the many who complain.
Real estate investing is very different today than it was just 18 months ago, but for those willing to roll with the changes, there are opportunities that may never be available again. If you’ve ever thought about being a real estate investor, or if you already are an investor that finds yourself struggling with how to cope with the challenges of today’s real estate market, you MUST be at this event.”
These 8 topics were hand selected based on feedback we received from students and information we know today’s investor should be aware of.
Armed with this information you’ll be positioned anew to begin enjoying the same success many others are achieving today, and profiting from today’s market rather than being a victim of it.
“OK, I’m In! How Much?”
So let me ask you…How much would you expect to pay for such a powerful couple of days?
How much to gain access to not only jam-packed content but also to get “up close and personal” with two of the most respected voices in the real estate investing industry?
This is a “lean and mean” learning event, with absolutely no fluff and no parade of speakers. Nothing but our array of proven, hard-hitting tactics for 2009, laid out for you step-by-step.
We’ll pack each and every session full of “meat and potatoes” information, and top it off with extended Q&A to make sure you get ALL your questions answered.
$10,000? Maybe $5,000? Well, I’m not going to use some slick sales gimmick and tell you the tuition is priced at some ridiculously over-inflated amount, then lower it down to next to nothing. I am sure you are smart enough to realize that’s just a marketing tactic.
What we’re offering you in this event and the big pile of bonuses has serious, real-world value…
…And is worth its weight in gold.
The regular tuition for this event is $2,997 - and for all that’s included it’s clearly an honest-to-goodness bargain. But if you’re an “early bird” you can attend for the very reasonable (roughly half price) tuition of…
…Only $1,497
That’s it. No games, no gimmicks. And yes, this includes all the bonuses (free spouse, Lifeonaire event, and home study courses galore - see below!)…
Steve and Shaun have both sold out their most recent live events and due to the timely topics and unique approach of this event, we fully expect it sell quickly as well. Seating is limited to keep classroom size small and personal attention/interaction with Steve and Shaun as high as possible.
And great news! We’ve scheduled the same event for two different dates and locations. And Steve and Shaun will be teaching at both events! Just pick the city and date that works best for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a transcription of Steve and Shaun’s actual answers. Just click the question below to reveal it’s answer…
- Q. “How did this event come about?”
Shaun: ”I’ll tell you, Steve and I have been talking quite a bit lately about the biggest issues our students seem to be facing in today’s new real estate market. So much in the industry is changing right now, and I think you’d have to have your head stuck in the sand to not realize you have to do things differently now than you did three years ago, two years ago or even six months ago for that matter.
So, we really wanted to get to the nitty gritty of what’s working right now and what issues are most investors struggling with right now. The fact is a few small changes can make a big difference in your business. So Steve and I decided to put this two day event together to cover as many of these topics as possibly to arm people with the tools and information they need to overcome some of these challenges.”
Steve: ”One big advantage we have over most is that we’re investors ourselves, and we’re also coaches with a number of students all across the country. So we really have our finger on the pulse of this market because we get to experience all of what’s going on in our own deals as well as those of our students. We know what’s working and what’s not, and we’re going to share from those experiences at this event.”
