For Immediate Release

“THE DIAMOND” TO HOST 2 DAY SEMINAR THIS WEEKEND - APRIL 19 AND 20th - TWO FULL DAYS OF ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO SUCCEED IN SHORT SALES!!!

Become an expert in short sales TODAY!

Real estate investors, those who want to get started and industry professionals…

Somerset, NJ - David “The Diamond” Oswald, Founder of Rivers of Income LLC will be conducting a short sale extravaganza seminar this upcoming Saturday, April 19, 2008 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PMand April 20 from 12 noon until 6:30 PM at the The Ramada Inn, right off of exit 12 on Rte. 287. The official address for the hotelis 60 Cottontail Lane in Somerset, NJ 08873. The number to the hotel for directions is 732-560-9880.

On the First Day, Oswald and 4 other guest speakers will be discussing everything you need to know to get started in the business of short sales. In addition, there will be topics discussed such as how to get your buyers the money they need through financing (using hard money and other programs), negotiating your deals the RIGHT WAY, strategies to influence the BPO and all the new information needed to keep up in the world of short sales.

In addition to being an investor and public speaker, Oswald offers a one on one mentorship program to teach others how to get involved in real estate on a part time basis with little or no money. Local investors who have gotten involved in his mentorship have already benefited from the business systems that allow them to focus on putting properties under contract and not worry about dealing with banks and marketing.

On Day 2, Oswald will be hosting “Salesmanship, Scripting and the Short Sale,” a class which complements the first day and will concentrate on the art of communicating with everyone in the short sale process. This class is THE MISSING LINK for most people out there who just can’t get over the hump of closing a deal. You see, many of the students who get into the business of becoming short sale and foreclosure investors find that one roadblock in particular continually seems to stretch them….and that roadblock is dealing with all the parties involved in any transaction. And not only dealing with them but also having them see your situation for what it is and agreeing that your solution is the right one.

That’s why this is an art. An art that you MUST LEARN. How you present a situation will determine as to whether or not it happens. Do you believe that? If not, you should. Questions like, how can you tell if they are really motivated or just pulling your chain? When should I go out to the house and when should I just handle an issue over the phone? The biggest one I get is “How should I answer that question?” This might be in response to a spouse who has said that he or she needs to talk to his or her significant other before moving forward. Or how do you respond to a question that you really don’t know the answer to without stopping the forward progress of a phone call or a closing? Or better yet, what if there is a question that really does not have a yes’ or no’ answer to it. How do you respond to that and still get it going FORWARD. Not at pause, not at “let me get back to you” but FORWARD.

Many of the students have said, “Dave, you seem to handle these situations as if you’ve been prepared weeks in advance for the question, how do you do that?” Well, the answer is that I understand the fundamentals of this game called communication. I understand that there is a RIGHT TIME for everything. The RIGHT TIME to listen, the RIGHT TIME to educate, the RIGHT TIME to inject HUMOR, the RIGHT TIME to CLOSE…you get the picture. Ladies and Gentlemen, this tool has been the NUMBER 1 thing that I’ve been able to utilize not only in business, real estate and short sales but also in the game of LIFE. Just as you are a student RIGHT NOW, I have been a student of this topic before, I’ve worked it, practiced it and made it a part of my life and now I AM WILLING TO TEACH IT TO YOU…but only under certain conditions. You must come ready, willing and with an open mind and willing to practice something that at first will seem a little counter intuitive and strange. But trust your fearless leader, I will take you there.

If you’ve already registered for “SHORT THAT SALE” on April 19 and you want to add “Salesmanship, Scripting and the Short Sale” call Jill now at 207-838-1010. If you’ve already participated in “SHORT THAT SALE” in the past and you want to only attend “Salesmanship, Scripting and the SHORT SALE,” on Sunday, April 20, then simply call Jill and register for only that class. Do you want to take your investing up another notch? Then be there.

As usual, I have the best price points around and will be offering the entire one day seminar for only $397 (per person) for one day and $697 (per person) for the two day. It doesn’t get any better than this, guys and girls. If you come to me at the end of the seminar and tell me that it was not worth every dime, I will refund your money. It’s that simple.

One more bonus, attend “Salesmanship, Scripting and the Short Sale” on April 20 and you can attend that same class for the next calendar year FREE OF CHARGE, over and over again. It doesn’t get any better than this. The venue will be set up auditorium style with tables, so attendance is limited to the first 25 people. With your attendance, you will received 7 bonuses including a one hundred and twenty page workbook, all the contracts needed for success and David’s ebook, “101 Ways to Outsource Your Life and Business.” RSVP NOW to Jill at 207-838-1010. It’s Your World, Your Way!

The Guts to Decide

The Guts to Decide

I do some of my best writing at odd hours of the day or night. Sometimes I write these articles when I can’t sleep at 1:00 am and sometimes I have to actually plan to write them so that they get done. In my particular case, writing is one of those things that sometimes comes very easily but at other times, I have to almost force myself to get started. Once I get into the first few lines, I usually find my groove and knock out the entire article in one session. But isn’t that how much of life can be, especially when it comes to things that aren’t necessarily required but might be important to us regardless. Some of us may have a desire to push forward with an idea to grow or start a business, a plan to drop ten or fifteen pounds (or more) complete reading a book that we’ve been putting off or even start writing a book of our own. It’s funny how we can think about a particular topic or even talk about it to others but little or no action occurs even after years of thought patterns like this.

The reason is that there is actually a small step that has to occur before the action itself and that is the actual decision of whether or not to do it. For many, this decision doesn’t happen because we are forever weighing the pros and the cons or letting that small voice continually show us the negative side of why it wouldn’t be a profitable venture or why it wouldn’t make sense at this particular time or how we will do it or get to it once we finish something else. Hey, I’ve been there. I get it. But I also have learned to identify this series of thoughts for what it is and it’s usually nothing more than good old fashioned fear with a touch of procrastination thrown in for good measure. Some people refer to it as “thinking it through” or some other phrase that makes it seem as if this is such a momentous decision that weeks or months or even years of thought are required before finally giving it the thumbs up. But as you sit there waiting for the perfect moment, remember that many before you have started businesses, lost weight, written books or done whatever it is you may be pondering. You are not the first nor will you be the last so you might as well get going with it!

I try not to be categorized as a motivator but I would guess that some of you may put me into that realm. I won’t argue with the fact that some of what I talk about may motivate a person to get up out of their seat (or at least that’s what the testimonials on my website http://www.riversofincome.com/ seem to indicate), but I would rather be known as the guy who just plain out gets it…you know, the guy who understands why we all, including myself, do the things we do and I’m just pointing it out so that we don’t lose touch with reality. Because reality ain’t going anywhere and neither will we unless we meet it head on. So here’s your assignment, make a decision today. Big, small, mid-sized, super sized, whatever size decision you want to make is fine with me (other than what to have for lunch). If it’s something you’ve been playing around with in your mind for a while, decide today and don’t look back. Just say yes or no and leave it at that. If the answer is yes, then just start making more decisions right after that, in fact, go out and make a mess if you want, I dare you. Go out and even make a few “wrong” decisions and then come to the realization that it wasn’t necessarily a “wrong” decision, just a chance to refine the direction you are going. Hey, I just made a decision myself…….I’m done with this article. Adios!

Real Estate Short Sale

More info…

Short sales of real estate can be a profitable way of investing, particularly in the current housing market. However, they may not be straightforward, and it can help if you know some short sale secrets.
 
Firstly, you need to find properties that might be eligible for a short sale. This can involve looking at court records, and other investigative work. There are also some services that will assist you in finding suitable houses. The requirements include that the mortgage is greater than the house is now worth, and that the homeowner is in default with his payments, and likely to suffer foreclosure.

“Short That Sale” Pt.2: The Sequel?

Short That Sale Pt. 2: The Sequel?
Yes, I knowusually you hear about a sequel only in the world of movies and cinema but you never know what you are going to get with The Diamond.Part of being entertaining is to also be a bit unpredictable and thats what Im here to do: educate, motivate and entertain you while Im at it!
All of that being said, Ive been approached by many of you to do an advanced level short sale class.You already know me from the series of events that Ive made successful such as Quick Profits with Quick Turns, Taking the First Step Workshop, Short That SaleWhen the Markets Stale and of course, Salesmanship, Scripting & the Short Sale but now there is a another addition to the family Short That Sale Part 2: The Sequel. (I almost went with calling it STS2 but I didnt want to make it seem like The Terminators T2 or anything..)
Its been proven that the original Short That Sale 2 Day Bootcamp is a great kick start into the world of creative real estate investing and gives you the impetus to get out there and get going in this new and exciting world.However, I also realize that there are advanced level techniques that need to be covered for those of you who really take this business seriously.I also know that this is a business that changes and there are always going to be new adjustments that must be addressed and what better place to do it than in a seminar setting!You can either learn through hard knocks or you can get it from someone who has already proven that he knows what hes talking about, its your choice.Even though Ive taken my share of hard knocks through the years, I prefer to work a bit smarter now!
On a personal level, I continue to run a very large pipeline of business and I know that I love to find out new information myself when it comes to closing and exit strategies, updated ways to joint venture and get a never ending flow of leads and what banks are doing different now that the bailout plan has been established.By the way, these are just a few of the topics that will be covered.
As always, I love to include different members of my team when talking about the subject of short sales.But these team members are going to be a bit different than the ones I introduced to you in the first round of Short That Sale.This time around you may get a chance to hear from an attorney, my closing coordinator, my mortgage guy and maybe even my title company.I may even invite my loan modification specialist down to teach you guys how to make another stream of income!After all, my company is named Rivers of Income!
In addition, you know it wouldnt be a Diamond Production without getting into a little bit of advanced salesmanship and role playing on Day 2 because we all know that what goes on in your mind is what separates the winners from the losers regardless of how much you know about short sales.I believe that practice makes perfect when it comes to communication and I want to motivate and inspire you to believe that you can actually master this thing we call communication.Once you do, the idea of something being difficult or hard wont have nearly the same meaning.Youll look forward to crushing the road blocks that once stood in your way.Thats why we call it POWER THINKING around here!
Anyway, thats enough selling for me.Many of you have already been out to one of our previously mentioned seminars so you know what youre getting with me.Youll get the same level of quality and integrity that all my previous events have had (check out some of the testimonials on www.DavidOswaldOnline.com) and of course, my personal guarantee is always in place.So do yourself a favor and continue to educate yourself.As I say at many of my seminars, Ive spent over $92,000 on my own investing education and I will continue to invest in myself as time goes on.Its the only way to stay on top.So heres to you and remember that Its Your World!As they say in the movie business, COMING SOON.

Creating Momentum

More info…

I just finished voting this morning and I was able to avoid any lines whatsoeverI guess thats just another benefit of not having a JOB, right?Now instead of waiting with the rest of the world, you just pick the time you want to do anything and breeze on thru like EZ Pass.Keeps me staying stress free and loving what I dowhich brings us to the point of our article here, todays topic is all about creating momentum in your business.
I am writing specifically about this topic because this entire article came to me yesterday when I was in the shower and it had enough impact on me that I even did a coaching call on the topic of momentum (which you can access under the Diamond Media tab at www.DavidOswaldOnline.com)Yes, I guess you can say Im a multi-media type of guy.If you dont like reading my articles, you can listen to the audio versionhey, I aim to please.
Momentum is something that I battle with in my own business because it has to be re-created on a somewhat regular basis.Just like in the flow of a basketball game you can see the momentum change during the course of one game multiple times, the same happens in the life of an entrepreneur.See, we are dealing with outside forces which can come at us out of nowhere and force us to have to adjust.Whether its the market changing or laws changing, the loss of an employee or just our own personal issues, we have to be ready to take back the momentum at a moments notice.Here are just some of the things I do on a regular basis to control the momentum in my own favor.
1. Create Lists This may sound like the most basic idea and many of you Im sure do this already but one thing I do is order my list the night before in a way that helps me to wake up and immediately be able to focus on whats most important.Many of us have lists but they dont necessarily have the most important things at the top.I knock out the major stuff when my energy level is the highest so I know it gets done.
2. Know What to Avoid We live in a society where its not uncommon to get bombarded with over 150 contacts per day from emails, text messages, phone calls and traditional mail.You need to be able to determine QUICKLY what matters to you and what doesnt.If one of your habits involves going thru 100 spam emails per day and spending 20 or 30 minutes to do that, you may want to consider getting a brand new email and starting fresh.Also, if youre a texter like I am, keep your texts to a minimum (I try to stay below 50 text messages per day).The more time that you spend getting taken away from what matters, the less time you have for FOCUS.
3. Dont Sabotage Yourself One thing that Ive seen happen with some of my students in the world of real estate is that they start to actually create momentum in their life and it feels good to them!However, they begin to feel a bit uncomfortable when they realize just how much they have going on and they begin to implode and back away from opportunities.Realize thisyou are supposed to feel a little uncomfortable and then grow into the NEW YOU.Have faith that the right people and opportunities will take care of themselves as you grow in your business.
So thats 3 things that I do to stay focused and creating a snowballs worth of momentum in my life and business.For those of you who havent done so already, please visit www.DavidOswaldOnline.com and sign up for the free newsletter and get a copy of the first 10 pages of my ebook, 101 Ways to Outsource Your Life and Business just for doing so (I promise you wont get annoying daily emails, just when there is something important to say)Its really to best way to stay on top of what Rivers of Income has going on!Also, stay tuned for our upcoming events including our next 2 day boot camp in December.Look forward to seeing you there!Your World, Your Way!

David “The Diamond” to Host 2 Full Days of Short Sale Mania THIS WEEKEND!!!

For Immediate Release

“THE DIAMOND” TO HOST 2 DAY SEMINAR THIS WEEKEND - APRIL 19 AND 20th - TWO FULL DAYS OF ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO SUCCEED IN SHORT SALES!!!

Become an expert in short sales TODAY!

Real estate investors, those who want to get started and industry professionals…

Somerset, NJ - David “The Diamond” Oswald, Founder of Rivers of Income LLC will be conducting a short sale extravaganza seminar this upcoming Saturday, April 19, 2008 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PMand April 20 from 12 noon until 6:30 PM at the The Ramada Inn, right off of exit 12 on Rte. 287. The official address for the hotelis 60 Cottontail Lane in Somerset, NJ 08873. The number to the hotel for directions is 732-560-9880.

On the First Day, Oswald and 4 other guest speakers will be discussing everything you need to know to get started in the business of short sales. In addition, there will be topics discussed such as how to get your buyers the money they need through financing (using hard money and other programs), negotiating your deals the RIGHT WAY, strategies to influence the BPO and all the new information needed to keep up in the world of short sales.

In addition to being an investor and public speaker, Oswald offers a one on one mentorship program to teach others how to get involved in real estate on a part time basis with little or no money. Local investors who have gotten involved in his mentorship have already benefited from the business systems that allow them to focus on putting properties under contract and not worry about dealing with banks and marketing.

On Day 2, Oswald will be hosting “Salesmanship, Scripting and the Short Sale,” a class which complements the first day and will concentrate on the art of communicating with everyone in the short sale process. This class is THE MISSING LINK for most people out there who just can’t get over the hump of closing a deal. You see, many of the students who get into the business of becoming short sale and foreclosure investors find that one roadblock in particular continually seems to stretch them….and that roadblock is dealing with all the parties involved in any transaction. And not only dealing with them but also having them see your situation for what it is and agreeing that your solution is the right one.

That’s why this is an art. An art that you MUST LEARN. How you present a situation will determine as to whether or not it happens. Do you believe that? If not, you should. Questions like, how can you tell if they are really motivated or just pulling your chain? When should I go out to the house and when should I just handle an issue over the phone? The biggest one I get is “How should I answer that question?” This might be in response to a spouse who has said that he or she needs to talk to his or her significant other before moving forward. Or how do you respond to a question that you really don’t know the answer to without stopping the forward progress of a phone call or a closing? Or better yet, what if there is a question that really does not have a yes’ or no’ answer to it. How do you respond to that and still get it going FORWARD. Not at pause, not at “let me get back to you” but FORWARD.

Many of the students have said, “Dave, you seem to handle these situations as if you’ve been prepared weeks in advance for the question, how do you do that?” Well, the answer is that I understand the fundamentals of this game called communication. I understand that there is a RIGHT TIME for everything. The RIGHT TIME to listen, the RIGHT TIME to educate, the RIGHT TIME to inject HUMOR, the RIGHT TIME to CLOSE…you get the picture. Ladies and Gentlemen, this tool has been the NUMBER 1 thing that I’ve been able to utilize not only in business, real estate and short sales but also in the game of LIFE. Just as you are a student RIGHT NOW, I have been a student of this topic before, I’ve worked it, practiced it and made it a part of my life and now I AM WILLING TO TEACH IT TO YOU…but only under certain conditions. You must come ready, willing and with an open mind and willing to practice something that at first will seem a little counter intuitive and strange. But trust your fearless leader, I will take you there.

The Value of Outsourcing in Real Estate Investing

Have you ever felt that the world is getting busier and you have less and less time as each year goes by? It is easy to get into this mode of thinking, and run around in circles trying to get everything done. You may have thought the only answer was to employ staff, and deal with the personnel issues and headaches that arise from that, but there is an alternative.
The answer may be to outsource some of the work that you do, particularly the mundane work and work you are not so good at or dislike. When you think of outsourcing, you may think of large companies sending their workload over to China, with local workers losing their jobs, but there is also an increasing market place for outsourcing individual jobs. Any time that you do a job for which the salary would be less than you want to earn, you are devaluing your time in proportion.
The difficult part is that you need to understand that work you outsource will not be done the same way that you would do it. A good rule of thumb is that if it is done 70% as well as you would do it, then it is worth paying someone to do it to free up your time for more valuable tasks. It is easy to find people to take on tasks for you — for instance, if you would like a website designed or articles written you should try www.elance.com or www.guru.com, where there are many people willing to bid on your project. Often you get what you pay for, and these sites have a feedback system which allows other clients to tell you what they thought of the work.
If delegating the odd task isn’t sufficient for you, you could also consider getting a virtual assistant, who is someone who will take care of many of your normal office tasks, but do so remotely via the Internet. They can take your phone calls, type your correspondence, update your blog, etc. You will still be responsible for making your own coffee, however.
Finally, if you are finding short sale deals laborious to complete, there is even an outsourcing solution for that. You can spend your time finding the houses, negotiating with the homeowner and producing a set of documents for the deal you want to make. Then you can pass over these documents to an outsourced short sale company who will take care of all the phoning and faxing to follow up with the lender, saving you countless time spent on hold and doing other mundane tasks. In fact, it’s possible that the short sale company will be able to complete the sale better than you could because they deal with the lenders all the time and therefore have developed good relationships.
If you can find some time in your busy schedule to think about where best you can outsource aspects of your work, then you may be surprised how much more you can get done.
