I am really happy to have this particular interview for you today on virtual real estate investing. I believe this is one of the best interviews I have done –ever.
This podcast will open your eyes to a whole new way of investing in real estate. One that doesn’t involve junkers (you only work with pretty houses), there are no rehabs, you don’t have any marketing costs and you are a very well paid transaction manager. Most people just don’t understand virtual real estate investing, and there are some types of virtual investing like rehabbing houses in other cities that are in my opinion really hard business models. No matter how hard some folks try to make this look easy, it just isn’t.
When I learned about Vincent’s business model, I was really excited to share this information with you. I also want everyone to understand that you truly can “rise from the ashes” after devastating loss. It’s all about making lemonade out of lemons. Vincent is living proof of this, and he willingly and openly shares his story.
There are a lot of people that had a similar experience, but what really sets him apart from most other investors is that he found the silver lining in the market mess of 2007-2008 and built a business from that same mess. Most folks earning the equivalent of a wholesale fee whether you are actually wholesaling, doing lease options or seller financing have completely overlooked this particular strategy. Are you interested in learning exactly how you too can build a business like this? I’m betting you are so here we go. **There is a little bit of unwanted background sound in the very beginning, but it doesn't last long.

Dave –
I think Vincent has done all of those. In the beginning he did all LO, but he was acting as the wholesaler or middleman all the time. I know he is able to get the seller to finance the deals now.
You can definitely use these strategies just like regular wholesaling (but with pretty houses). There are still a whole lot of folks out there that can’t get a mortgage just yet, but will be able to down the line. Check out his facebook group. There is a ton of information over there, and he will be happy to personally answer your question. Thanks for stopping by.
