Aaron "Canadian Assassin" Moore is one of Toronto's top homebuyers and is actually blowing his competition completely out of the water. This is because he is ruthless about taking care of his sellers and goes above and beyond what is 'standard procedure.' You can hear in Aaron's voice how meaningful it is to do the work that he is doing because he ends up getting a bit emotional on the call on why it's so important to take care of these people in a tough situation. Aaron also shares how he structures his deals to help the sellers, how he has built his wealth, finds his sellers, and so much more on this Ascend mastermind coaching call!

Key Takeaways:

• Aaron's majority of wealth came from holding onto assets.
• Toronto's real estate markets are crazy, sometimes leading to six-figure profit deals!
• How does Aaron add value where the seller is willing to overpay by $50K to $75K?
• How does Aaron run his numbers and know the value potential of a house?
• Aaron has been very intentional in destroying his competition. That's where the nickname Canadian Assassin comes from. The reason why is because 99% of his competitors don't care about their homeowners!
• Aaron gets emotional thinking about the homeowners who are in tough situations.
• Aaron gives his sellers a loan before closing. How does he structure this correctly?
• Aaron could make more money structuring deals differently, but he feels better about helping the people in tough situations out.
• How has Aaron's team structured today?
• You want to hire a salesman that doesn't want their income to be capped. A salaried salesman is a bad sign.
• How does Aaron find his deals and buyers?
• How has Aaron adapted to the COVID-19 crisis?
• Aaron is keeping some cash reserves on hand because things are uncertain.
• What's the biggest value for Aaron being in a mastermind group like Ascend?

Todd Foster has been in real estate since 2010 and was able to leave his full-time job in 2012. He learned under Ron LeGrand, and is a master at creative lease options (and setting up deal structures with pretty houses in good neighborhoods). He believes there's so much more opportunity in this space than in the distressed housing space. He shares a couple of case studies on how creative leasing can be an amazing avenue for you and your business. They also answer a ton of listener questions at the end!

Key Takeaways:

• Todd specializes in something called the 'Pre-house buying model.'
• Can't get the property at the right price? No deal? Not necessarily true.
• Todd shares a bit on how he got into real estate. He was able to leave his job in 2012 and hasn't looked back since!
• There are more pretty homes available than there are distressed homes and that means you can do a lot more with it!
• Why does Todd love to use lease options to sell his property?
• You don't need money or credit to get started in these deals.
• One of Todd's tenants had a really hard time finding someone to rent to her because of a foreclosure ding on her credit.
• Todd showcases some case studies on how now you can structure your deals creatively.
• The sellers couldn't get their house sold for 320K, but Todd was able to sell it at 329K because they provided a lease with an option to buy.
• What percentage of tenant buyers actually end up buying the property?
• Todd shares another case study to help the seller pay off his loan while still owning the property.
• Does Todd use a loan servicing company?
• It's important to be flexible with the tenant buyer based on their financial situation.
• How does Todd navigate the 'due on sale' clause?
• Todd uses land trusts to help protect the seller.
• The next case study is about how to navigate an over leveraged home.
• A tenant-buyer paid Todd to take over a contract that was 17K underwater. How was this a good deal for the buyer?
• How do you talk to the seller about doing these types of deals?
• Has a seller tried to void the agreement later on?
• How is it different from vetting a tenant-buyer vs. a regular buyer?
• The tenant-buyer is the one who would ultimately need to qualify for the loan to purchase the home.
• It's important the seller has a full disclosure on what's happening with their home. Communication is key.
• Ethnically, Todd has to make sure that people will be able to cash out in the homes they're going into. He's not going to set people up to fail.
• How does Todd find homes that have expired listings?
• How does Todd handle the release of the deed without triggering due on sale?
• How does Todd handle a major repair on the property?
• Remember it's quality over quantity. Todd shares how he structures his team.

"The biggest thing we're looking for is sellers that are willing to provide us time to pay them off in full. Time is what makes these deals work"

"You have to do the right thing by the buyer. If they just filed for bankruptcy, they're going to need a couple of years to get qualified, so putting them on a one lease option is setting them up for failure."

"We ask questions to the seller and to really see if they're open to some kind of creative deal. If they want to do it, great."

This is Mark Evans DM's third time on the show! He started his virtual business back in 05 because he knew he couldn't be a 'mule' for the rest of his life. He is out with a new bestselling book entitled, Magician Vs. Mule, where he helps readers go from the hustle and grind 24/7 to a freedom lifestyle that allows you to spend more time doing what YOU want to do!

Key Takeaways:

• Mark's leadership is being challenged right now due to the pandemic, but that's a good thing.
• Mark runs several Virtual Businesses.
• How can you do more with what God has given me? It's all about having the right frame of mind and asking the right questions.
• Why is self-awareness so important?
• Mark has always been very intentional with his gift giving. Longevity plays a huge part in being a good business owner.
• Giving is the best gift in the world.
• How does Mark incorporate conscious giving into his life?
• What is the Magician Vs. Mule book about?
• Mules are afraid of asking for help. They can never stop and find freedom.
• How can you transition from being a mule to a magician?
• Would you fire yourself if you worked for yourself?
• It either fits in a box or it doesn't. Mark doesn't want to stress out on trying to spend hours and hours on custom solutions when they can just be plug-n-play.
• Magicians have a purpose with everything that they do.
• You're the common thread to every problem and solution.
• How can people be more intentional with connecting and collaborating with others?
• If you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else.
• It's all about the journey, not the destination.
• Mark has made a conscious effort to lose weight!
• Your kids are watching you, so be the example and set the standard.
• Mark is the author of 10 books. How does he do it?
• So many people put so much time and effort into CRMs and yet they change it 6 months later! Doesn't make sense. It's not the CRM that's going to make you successful.
• How do you keep a mule from kicking? By keeping them busy or moving forward.
• A magician slows down this process, takes a step back, and streamlines it.
• Grab a copy of "Magician vs Mule". 100% of the book's proceeds go to charity!!!

Alex wants to share with you what he does with his seller leads and the kind of sales process he takes people through. Alex hasn't been on the frontlines in a while, and shares what he could have done better during the call (so you can help more people & close more deals!)

Key Takeaways:

• You want to get to your leads ASAP!
• Alex wants to showcase a live seller call!
• In this call, you'll hear Alex walk through the sales process with the seller.
• Alex is a bit rusty, but feels you can learn from the good, the bad, and the ugly.
• There are a couple of things Alex could have done better on. For example, setting the expectation and using the diagnostic drill…
• Alex told the seller he might not be his best option (tip: always be one-step behind)
• Alex thinks the seller wants retail, but he's going to send out an offer anyway.
• Alex should have price-anchored him a bit better.
• Keep in mind, you can always do better!
