Our Live Events help us to get closer to our members and hopefully open up a valuable networking channel for local investors. Our goal is also to educate our members about the latest trends, and we hope we shed some light on the opportunities that Private Money offers.

Are you a landlord? You’ll like this…

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Are you a landlord? I think you’ll like the website that I’m now using to screen my tenants. Not only will you like it, I think you’ll find it to be incredible!

Here’s how it works…

Prospective tenants fill out an online application and then it’s emailed to you with their CREDIT SCORE and criminal background check. It also gives you a suggestion on whether or not you should rent to them.

You can have the tenants pay for the application fee or you can pay it. The fee is $30 per app, but if you use the special MyHouseDeals link below, it’s just $25. Over time, the savings can really add up.

MySmartMove - Tenant Screening Service

Learn about My Smart Move by watching this video:

https://myhousedeals.mysmartmove.com/ViewTrainingVideo.aspx?video=hwitwrks

Pretty cool, huh?

And now sign up as a landlord for free at:

http://myhousedeals.mysmartmove.com

Then the next time you have a property for rent, run them through My Smart Move. You’ll save time and make better leasing decisions … which means more money in your pocket.

Until next time, happy (and profitable) investing!

Many investors are using Private Money as the alternative to the tight and difficult traditional lending market, and Jack can tell you exactly all you need to know to put Private Money to work for you. He’s created a special training session for this Saturday’s Live Event entitled Seven Ways Private Money Can Put Cash in Your Pocket in the Next Thirty Days. In this session, Jack will tell you:

* How to use Private Money to put cash in your pocket the day you close.
* How to approach Private Lenders and secure funds for your transactions.
* How to get private lenders to fund all your transactions.
* And much more!

In today’s market, you cannot afford to lose out on those last minute, crunch-time profits because of financing! You must learn how to think outside the box and let Private Money dramatically increase your real estate income.
