Conventional Fixed RateOur conventional fixed-rate programs allows for predictable payments over the life of the loan. With this stability, you have longer term options which provide lower payments or shorter term options which provide the fastest equity accumulation (i.e., own your home sooner while saving significantly on interest payments).

Conventional ARMWith our Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) your loan rate is typically lower than fixed rate programs. ARMs can be less expensive over a long period than a fixed rate mortgage. Generally, if interest rates remain steady, you will to benefit from the lower initial rate and if rates drop, your monthly payments will decrease without refinancing.

FHA Fixed RateFHA Fixed Rate programs are ideal for those desiring to provide a lesser down payment than required by conventional programs or may have credit challenges. At the same time, these programs provide the security found in convential fixed rate programs.

FHA ARMFHA ARM programs are intended for those who wish to put down a lesser down payment than typically required by conventional programs or have greater credit challenges. These programs, of course, provide the "unstability" of an ARM but typically, the over all lower interest rate.

VA FixedVA financing is designed to benefit veterans of the armed services, those currently in active duty or the reserves, and their spouses. In order to qualify for a VA loan veterans must be eligible as defined by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans can qualify to put zero down on most loans.

VA Home Loan Fixed Rate programs are the easiest way to purchase a home. Borrower know from the start what the monthly payment on their VA Home Loan will be for the next 15 to 30 years, depending on the life of the mortgage.

VA ARMThe VA ARM program is designed to help our those who have served our country in the armed forces become home owners. The Veteran's Administration (VA) ARM program was established to assist veterans with mortgage loans at better interest rates and favorable loan and down payment terms. As with other ARM programs, interest rates on VA ARM loans vary.

New Home Destruction


Thanks to the housing implosion, thousands of homes across the country lie vacant - including new ones that have never been lived in.

Many developers are being forced to hand over ownership of these homes to banks.

That's when squatters, drug users, and other miscreants move into the isolated "ghost towns" that are being created.

Now at least one bank in southern California, faced with fines levied by the city, is tearing down the once-promising suburb it owns... because that is cheaper than trying to bring the homes up to code so they can be sold.

If you're working the Home Seller Assist program, this presents a great opportunity for you, register now at http://www.fastbuyerloans.com

Keep Telling Your Customers How Good You Are

To encourage repeat business, you should constantly remind and re-educate your customers about what you do for them. Don't make the mistake of thinking they are watching everything you do and appreciating all the improvements and additions you are creating.

If, for example, you buy a top-line BMW, you should receive something from your dealer every month, pointing out how your relationship with BMW can further enhance your life. One effort might be a small brochure that offers a free video course on how to better use the entertainment system. Another might be a booklet that tells you how to brake safely using BMW's patented braking system.

To do a good job re-educating your customers, you must talk about genuine benefits - which means you must provide them. Make your products better, and then tell your customers why they are better and how to use them.

Why I said "don't join the Home Seller Assist program"...


Hopefully, you got my last message about not joining the Home
Seller Assist
program.

The other morning I was reading a novel where an attorney realized
that instead of trying to prove his case, he should have been trying
to locate the person who had really committed the crime. That was an
"ah hah" moment for me.

You see, all of my other emails were trying to convince you that
you should join the Home Seller Assist program and I began to realize,
no you shouldn't!

Now for guys like me, joining was a no brainer. I'm one of those
"ready, fire, aim" people. Let me explain: Several years ago I picked
up Robert Allen's book called Nothing Down and I did not wait to
complete the book. About half way thru, I went out and bought my
first two unit using his methods. Oh yeah, it was a bit scary. I thought
"oh my gosh, what have you done?" But then the next one was easier and
four years later after I loss my job, I went full time into real
etate investing.

I know that you probably have an interest in real estate investing,
especially when you can do it and not use any of your money or credit.
And even though HSA will fund 100% of your purchases and show you how
to find properties and end buyers, 80% of you will just sit on the fence
watching the rest of us do it.

It doesn't really matter that the members area has such courses at the
Inverse Purchase system (I paid almost $2000 for it in 2007), the 3-Day
Auction course (which at one time sold for $3000), the short sale/REO
course, the PALMS Agent program and various others, plus archived training
and our live training on Wed evenings. No, that doesn't really matter.

Why? Because you will just let it sit there and not even try. As for me,
I have shelves filled with courses I have bought since 1984 and I did the
same exact thing, but with only one course and that was on buying land and
developing it. Every other one I have used and made money with, every single
one!

When John Alexander called me last June about this program, I jumped in
right away, no hestitation and I am using his Inverse Purchase system
to make huge profits and have several short sales in progress. And I
took advantage of putting a little icing on my cake. I also started promoting
the Home Seller Assist program and made over $60,000 doing so and without one
penny for paid advertisements.

Since you have not yet made the decision to be active in real estate investing,
I'm suggesting you maybe get involved in some other program, perhaps something
like Google's Adsense program where you create blogs and put their ads on them
and when somebody clicks on one you get paid .10 or .25 or maybe .50 I had about
13 of those going, putting new content on them almost each day and I was making
about $100 per month, until Google (who owns blogspot) just removed every
blog I had back then, with no explanation.

Me, I'd rather make $400 per referral or $85,000 like I stand to make on a
property down in Arcadia, FL using the Inverse Purchase system (the easiest course).
I'm up here in IL which shows you can do all of this online.

I'm heading down to the gym now and then plan on enjoying this beautiful day we
are finally having here in Zion, IL about 2 miles from the WI border and perhaps
a mile west of Lake Michigan. Then this evening I will watch the public webcast
put on by Home Seller Assist and then later sit back and enjoy the live training
that follows on Weds.

Have a great week.

Human Desire


Of all the emotions you can use to persuade someone, the most powerful is the desire to feel important. To feel appreciated.

Get a deep understanding of how to use it, and you'll be set to persuade more … and close more deals.

In How to Win Friends & Influence People, Dale Carnegie writes, "There is one longing – almost as deep, almost as imperious, as the desire for food or sleep – which is seldom gratified. It is what Freud calls 'the desire to be great.' It is what Dewey calls 'the desire to be important.'"

Used properly, it can mean the difference between beating the crowd and having your promo do "okay."

To help you apply this principle, here are four strategies:

1. Become genuinely interested in your prospect.
This is where it all starts. If you can't become sincerely interested in your prospect, there's no way you'll be able to persuade him effectively. The best way to become interested is to do a lot of research. As you're discovering more about your prospect, you'll find something about him you can get excited and interested about.
How do you do this?

You could interview your ideal prospect in person or over the phone. If that's not possible, the next best thing is to visit online forums, blogs, and discussion groups. This'll give you an inside look at what's on your prospect's mind … what keeps him up at night … what his beliefs and ideals are, etc.

Remember, you're writing to one person – as a sincere friend who wants to help improve his life through your product or service. Becoming genuinely interested in him is the only way you can do that.

2. Empathize.
Be sympathetic with your prospect's ideas and desires. Let him know you agree with him. You understand his world.

Doing this helps you gain his trust. And lets him know just how important he is to you.

Here's a great example of copy that empathizes with the prospect's frustrations, written by copywriting genius John Carlton:

"My name is Dr. Michael O'Leary, and until very recently I was your basic 'hacker.' I had a love/hate relationship with golf – some days I'd be driving like a pro, maybe even flirting occasionally with par … while the next afternoon my game would absolutely go all to hell. I swear I've stood at the edge of the lake, holding my bag overhead, one emotional hair-trigger away from tossing the whole mess and never stepping up to another ball the rest of my life. Doesn't it drive you nuts?"
As he reads this, the prospect instantly thinks, "Wow. He understands what I'm going through."

3. Talk in terms of what your prospect wants.
The best way to talk in terms of what your prospect wants is to address the benefits and deeper benefits your product provides. But, as you describe the benefits, make sure you're talking benefits the prospect actually wants.

For instance, telling your prospect your diet pill will "keep your blood sugar levels stable" isn't very appealing to him. Instead, you want to describe what stable blood sugar levels means in terms of what he wants. In this case, stable blood sugar levels could be described in terms of fewer hunger pangs, fewer cravings, and more fat-burning potential.

Here's an excellent example of talking in terms of what your prospect wants (from the same promotion written by John Carlton):

"Now you can learn to use your natural ability to 'load' every drive with 200% more explosive power almost overnight, getting distance you could only dream of before … while nailing shot after shot exactly where you want it, as accurate as clockwork … and, if you're like most golfers, knocking a pile of strokes off your next round!"

4. Get your prospect's point of view.
Says Dale Carnegie, "Tomorrow, before asking anyone to put out a fire or buy your product or contribute to your favorite charity, why not pause and close your eyes and try to think the whole thing through from another person's point of view? Ask yourself: Why should he or she want to do it?"

Follow Carnegie's advice. Before you write an ad, stop and visualize your prospect. And figure out why he would want to buy whatever it is you're selling.
Asking yourself this one question is what 99% of copywriting is about.

It's all about your prospect. Make him feel important using these four tips, and watch your response rates soar!

The Big Disconnect Will Kill You...

While each and every analyst on your nightly news tells us
how they are seeing "green shoots" sprouting up all over, when you really dig in,
you see nothing but withered weeds. Let's just start off with three quick headlines
that crossed the wires this morning and you can decide if this sounds like green
shoots, or "something wicked this way comes" and you need to prepare for it.

April foreclosures rise. The number of U.S. homes facing foreclosure jumped 32%
in April, led by Nevada, Florida and California. One in every 374 U.S. housing units
received a foreclosure filing last month, the highest monthly rate since reporting
began in 2005. Repossessions by banks were down on a monthly and annual basis, but
will likely increase again in coming months.

More losses at Freddie. Freddie Mac (FRE) reported a Q1 loss of $9.85B as the costs
of mortgage defaults grew, and said it will need another $6.1B of capital from the
Treasury. The company put $8.8B aside for future credit losses, up from $1.2B in
the year-earlier quarter, and expects 'the coming quarters to be difficult,' though
it sees 'preliminary signs of slowing in home-price declines.' The latest capital
call brings Freddie's total to $51B.

Retail Sales fall far short of the rosy estimates, with the Ex auto number falling
0.5%, while last months reading was reduced even further from - 1.1% to -1.3%.

So, where are the green shoots? Maybe their hiding in the latest budget projections?
Well, a quick peek at them shows us nothing but horror. Just two months ago projections for the deficit were horrid, but at least the street could accept them. In other words, we knew it would be bad, and they were, but it was expected. Then out of the clear blue the President comes out and says basically "oops" sorry, those number don't work any longer. Because of falling tax revenues, combined with higher costs for all these bailouts, we're going to have a fiscal deficit for 09 of some $1.84 trillion, or $89 billion more than forecast in February, while the 2010 figure now is estimated at $1.26 trillion, or $87 billion above the previous number.

These are not small numbers we're playing with here. This deficit is 4 times higher
than anything we've ever seen before and what's worse is that this budget is predicted by using the rosiest outlook on employment and economic growth they could muster.

For instance this budget assumes we're going to be seeing growth of fantasy proportions. It projects that "by the end of this year," the economy will be growing at a 3.5 percent annual rate. Where's that going to come from?

Basically, the budget is based on pure fantasy, make believe numbers that can't possibly come true. So, if the numbers are fantasy, so are these deficit projections. In other words, they're going to get worse. Much worse....

That is why you need to get off the fence now and join Home Seller Assist and learn how to flip properties while the "getting is good". You can also start promoting the program and begin to immediately start earning $400 the minute you sign someone up. You no longer have to pass up your #1 and #4 people.

We have our live webcast at 7pm Central this evening and if you join now, you can
attend the live training/support webinar that follows.

Now is the time to take action, while you can. Join Now at http://www.REOfunder.com

Taking Risks Is All Part of the Game

By John Carlton

In business, the best opportunities don't usually announce themselves ahead of time.

There is no warning. And there is precious little time to consider your choices.

As a young man, I balked at making hard decisions. I hesitated and put them off. Even worse, I told myself that other, maybe better, opportunities would always be just around the corner.

The truth is, most life-changing opportunities are never repeated. And once I vowed to pursue success without making excuses, I learned the value of quickly saying "yes."

That is how I met all of my mentors and secured long-lasting relationships with them. And how I mastered freelance copywriting faster - and with greater rewards - than anyone else in the game. That is also how I've attained every shred of success I can lay claim to. By recognizing... correctly judging... and grabbing onto opportunities that most people missed.

It's often a matter of being in the right place at the right time, armed with the right skills to take advantage of what has been laid before you.

It's not easy to become that guy who is always alert for chances to engage with life on a higher level. To hear what others refuse to hear. To murder your ego and crush your natural skepticism and stubborn reluctance.

But once you do... you'll never again be daunted... because part of being open to opportunity is being prepared for the risk.

Networking the Wrong Way

By Jason Holland

Networking is a great way to establish personal connections with people in your industry, whether you're interested in joint ventures, finding a business partner, seeking funding, or looking for a new job.

But do it wrong and you can burn a lot of bridges. Here are some things you should not do:

Be too vague. Your friend passes on contact information for a consultant that you know will help your business - so you give him a call. But instead of briefly describing your problem and asking for specific advice, you tell a long rambling story and then ask: "Can you help me?"

Prepare for the call by honing your elevator pitch - a one-minute, specific summary of who you are and what you need.

Bombard the contact with "follow up." Let's say you're given contact information for a CEO who's looking for your type of freelance services. Make your pitch with a phone call or by e-mail. Lay out your expertise and tell him what you can do to help him. Then let him carry the ball. Don't send daily e-mails "checking" on the status of the hiring decision. Nagging isn't going to get you the job. If he's interested in you, trust that you will hear from him.

Forget to follow up with the "connector." When you're introduced to a great contact don't forget to say thanks and offer to reciprocate or help in some way.

[Ed. Note: Networking effectively is just one skill you can learn with Unscrew Your Life, Early to Rise's monthly newsletter dedicated to helping you navigate the trials and travails of daily life, whether you're at home, at work, or anywhere in between. Find out more here.]

How to Build a Recession-Proof Stream of Income


By George Dahir


Even in tough times, opportunities present themselves... if you look in the right places.
One of the best ways to build a recession-proof income? Become an affiliate marketer.


Affiliate marketing is the process of using your website to drive traffic to a merchant's website... and receiving a commission for sales that are generated. It has quietly become a $6 billion industry and, according to Jupiter Research, is expected to grow another 13 percent year-over-year through 2012. Jupiter Research also states that online marketers' spending estimates for 2008 were $2.1 billion on affiliate marketing fees, with U.S. online affiliate marketing spending expected to reach $3.3 billion in 2012.


One reason affiliate marketing has experienced such massive growth is that it is a win-win opportunity - for the merchant and the affiliate. The merchant pays affiliates for their advertising efforts only when sales are actually made. Affiliates become an extension of the merchant's sales force and receive nice commission payouts by driving sales traffic to the merchant's website.


Many affiliate marketers do this as their only source of income and make a very nice living.
So what's stopping you? If you aren't making the money you need to live the life you wish to live - or if you just want an additional source of income - affiliate marketing may be for you. Early to Rise's Affiliate Program has had a large turnout since its launch back in February (with 900 affiliates thus far) and the sales continue to roll in.
