There are no lack of opportunities if you have the specific knowledge that allows you to recognize deals other investors can't see.

In this episode, I teach us how to learn the difference between general knowledge and specific knowledge.  Many think that its specific knowledge that gets the deal done and discount or overlook the benefit of general knowledge.

Today, I also discuss how to know the difference between a good deal and a bad deal because of your specific knowledge.  There are many factors to consider which I cover in this episode.

Investors often tell me there are no great deals anymore.  I assure you that no matter where you live you can be assured that there are many great opportunities just around every corner once you know what to look for.

The Strategy of “Subject To” is becoming more and more popular every single day.  Basically, this strategy works as follows:

When you find a property that has an affordable mortgage in place, it is possible to take title to the property subject to the existing mortgage.  The term subject to is meant to state that the current mortgage remains in place, even though the deed transfers to the new owner.

Many notes these days have what they call a “Due on Sale” clause, which basically means when the property is sold, that the note must be paid in full.  Larry discusses how this is not a law per se, yet agreement between lender and borrower.  In many cases, the bank will allow the transfer to happen, especially when they fear the current owner may default.

There are other instances where the banks will not allow the transfer of deed to occur without calling the loan due.  When a bank calls the loan due, they demand the full balance be immediately paid to the bank to satisfy the mortgage.

One of the benefits of attending Larry’s Never Step Into a Bank Again Bootcamp is that you will learn how to avoid using the bank at all.  When you avoid the banks, you can do more deals, with less headache and more profit.  Want to learn more?  Go HERE

This week on the Real Deal Podcast, Larry Harbolt discusses the importance of financial discipline.  Larry tells the story of “Take a Millionaire to Lunch” where he does just that.  It was out of the box thinking such as this that helped Larry learn the skills necessary to be successful as an investor.

Larry discusses taking the time to build a relationship with those who are more successful than you and by doing so be in a position to ask them question that will help you learn.  It has been Larry’s experience, that if he simply asks, others will simply capitulate by answering his questions.

Time is a precious commodity, when taking the time of those more successful than you, be respectful of their time, being sure to be on time, and keep your phone OFF.  There is a difference between being appreciative and being overbearing.  When the other party is speaking, you should spend most of your time (70-80%) listening, and only the remainder talking.

It is meetings like these, that can become the most important meetings you will attend during your investing journey.  Be sure you bring a notepad to keep notes, and be sure to pick up the check!

It is important to think like the rich think.  “Money” is simply a tool, nothing more, nothing less.  Just because a bank is willing to make a loan, does not mean that the loan makes sense for the investment you are considering.  Take the time to calculate the costs, in addition to the interest rate and never forget to understand the terms and how it will impact your investment.
