Are you serious? You should be concentrating on paying your monthly bills, not stacking up more debts that you won’t be able to pay. The rule should be, and always should have been, if you don’t have cash to pay for it, or can’t pay cash for it within the next month, you don’t need to buy it.

Did you even take a single class in personal finance during college? Can you even balance a check book? I’m guessing not.

In other words, paying more money to get more bad advice.
And taking care of some “sweet” biz = “loosing” more money on even more bad deals.

I don’t know why you keep this agony going. Your only option is bankruptcy. Even under the best scenario you will owe thousands in unsecured debt. Since you are unemployed, you are a good candidate for chapter seven. Do it, get it over with and move on with your life. And stay away from all those gurus. Remember Charles Givens? I guess people never learn.

“A number of bad gurus are pushing bird dogging as a real estate investment strategy. Should you do that?

No.

Suppose you have no such job. You are just going to bird dog by wandering around looking for good deals. Look at it from the perspective of the guy who is supposed to pay you the finder’s fees.

If I am a real estate investor, my main strength is being able to find deals. In other words, successful real estate investors are their own bird dogs. I would not be interested in relying on some beginner layman to find deals for me. I would assume that I would be faster doing it myself and I have to be fast to beat out the other investors with whom I am competing for the best deals. “

I think the haters comments have gone to far. I hate Casey too but once you’ve read 1000 “I hate Casey” comments, you’ve had enough.

I have a couple of observations.

1. Casey is not making a lot of money from adds on his site, thats just stupid.

2. Casey is not a fake. If he hadn’t really bought those houses I’m sure someone would have found out by now.

3. Casey asks for good advice, gets it, then does the opposite.

4. This blog has become a vaste of my time. Bye.

Hey Casey,

I’ve been checking your blog for a while.

Here’s an income generating idea for you, you may have already considered this . . .

Set up a new blog.
Realestateknowhow or realestatetips or something like that.
Advertise it prominently on your iamfacingforclosure.com site and start directing your huge traffic to it while you still have the excellent visitor numbers that you currently enjoy.

On the new site, keep it clean, no personal stuff, just interesting and useful information about the RE business.
You know the web, the secret is to provide quality information regularly. You can write well. You’ve been on the a load of expensive courses. Use their info, re-write it and give the information away in a series of daily articles. You’ll corner the market, create an interesting and valulable resource and attract millions of users

Aim to make it the absolute best site of it’s type on the internet.

You’ve got some quality visitors to your site at the moment. Capitalize on them.
You could have a discussion forum. Raise issues and encourage these knowledgeable types to comment on them.
You could generate an awesome community.

You’ve got the informatioin and you’ve got the necessary webmaster and writing skills.

I think that your notoriety with IAFF.com is limited and you’re generating negative comments.
You’re running the risk of hurting your reputation if you continue in this vein.

This is a great opportunity.
You’ve got to be fearless though. Be prepared to give away the best information you have.
Look at the stevepavlina example. That guy writes his heart out, he gives real value and his hits and adsense earnings reflect this.

You could get on the speaker circuit.
Run your own seminars. Make a fortune.
But I think you’ll have to start a new site untainted by iamfacingforclosure.com but feeding off it’s traffic.
You’ll have to move fast on this.

Whatever happens.
You’ll be okay, you’ll still have your life and you’ll learn a lot from this hardship.
Good luck mate.

Hey Casey,

Me and my friends Ricky and Bubbles want to work a sweeet deal with you.

See, we own some trailers in a place called Sunnyvale Trailer Park. After we use these trailers for some “organic farming”activities(you know what I mean) we need to move them. Thats where you come in. With all your vast experience in the RE market and the contacts you have, we want you to help us “flip” the trailers. I am doing all the rehab with the help of my buddies Corey & Trevor. I figure we can sell them to some retired old folks and make at least 50% profit, which we could invest in some more dope, oops, I mean farming trailers. I can get local financing from Rickys dad.He is an ex-OTR Trucker and lives in a cab-over here at Sunnyvale.

This is a sweeeet deal and I wouldnt offer it to just anyone.

Well, thats it. Be careful not to get caught by Mr. Lahey(trailer park supervisor) or Randy (asst trailer park supervisor). If they call you, you dont know me. Ive got to go get Ricky out of jail, he made parole. Were going to celebrate with his girlfriend, Lucy over at the nudi bar where she works.

Thanks and I look foward to meeting you soon.

“getting more education” - what, from the infomercial idyuts who have taught you how to lose (loose!?!) your shirt. Real education comes from real investors, not your infomercial gurus who profit from you buying their courses, and no from having actually been successful themselves. How can you afford to take a week off work to do more of this BS which has already proved to be a waste of your time and energy. As someone has said before on this blog - insanity is repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome. You have done courses like this before and where did they get you? Millions in debt with a bunch of unsaleable dumps to your name.

Almost forgot to check-in for my early riser thing. I actually never went to bed last night. I’m trying clean-out my email box from all the unanswered email and catchup on some stuff.

I will have to load up on caffeine to stay awake for today’s class on foreclosures. That should be fun. Maybe I can tell the class what it’s like to be on the other side.

It’s ironic that I’m facing foreclousre on a bunch of houses and I will be learning how to buy from people in my situation.

Failed as a Realtor But not as an AdSense Publisher
Noel Bautista December 6, 2006
Know More: adsense news, ads publishing, adsense, adsense tips

With the help of John Chow and Jon Waraas, Casey Serin, a real estate investor from Sacramento, Ca. who failed in his real estate investments, will soon be able to cover his debts. How? Through AdSense publishing.

Chow and Waraas started on helping him by donating $20 each. Chow’s better contribution is sending him an email on how to earn from AdSense with his site Igoogle_logo.gif am Facing Foreclosure. “I told him that he will see an increase if he adds a 300×250 AdSense unit under each post. Casey did as I suggested and over the weekend, I got this email from him

Yeah I placed my AdSense more strategically (under the first two posts) and my revenue doubled. I am getting some good ideas about monetizing the blog from reading your posts. Thanks for offering to help. As I start to experiment with more stuff, I may have some questions for you.

Casey,

I have been watching your situation for some time now. I felt bad for you in the begining but that has been replaced with utter disbelief in the choices you have made and continue to make. These seminars you are going to are only making the people that hold them rich. The tactics they teach are often border line illegal and definetly immoral.

The choices you are currently making will destroy your dreams of being a Real Estate investor. You really need to stop chasing the quick buck. I think you know the right thing to do but are not willing to make that choice. Until then you will continue to lose what little you have left and some things you will lose cannot be replaced.

I have been working towards building my Real Estate portfolio for 4 years now and have experienced a lot of different scenerios all which have helped me grow my holdings and education in Real Estate investing and speculating. I hold some property and flip others. This has served me well. You need to clean up your mess soon and start over but much slower.

December 11th, 2006 at 6:41 am

Oh gawd. You’re spending money to learn how to buy foreclosures? Or did the seminar organisers buy your plane tickets and pay you to to show up as Poster Boy? If the latter, then we forgive you. Maybe.

Nice move staying up all night dealing with e-mails, too (NOT!). Nothing like pying loads of money for a seminar and then nodding off through it and absorbing nothing. A related question: Since you check every e-mail, are you also opening and handling every snail mail certified letter that arrives from your various screwed lenders? Too many questions, I know.

In the case of this seminar: How on earth do you think you’ll actually be able to buy foreclosures if you have no money and can’t borrow any? The people you’ll be dealing with are in the same dire financial straits as you, and there’s nothing you can offer them to compete with real Buy Ugly Houses people who might have at least enough money behind them to pay one month’s payment and a court doc filing fee so they can steal the house from the unlucky, ignorant FB’s.

You should be spending your hard-borrowed money on a bankruptcy attorney. Seriously, the sooner you start that, the sooner you will be done with that, and the sooner you can start over clean and start rolling the dice again.

December 11th, 2006 at 6:44 am

Anybody watch the TV show “Lost”? Each episode ends with a “Perils of Pauline” cliffhanger and the premise becomes increasingly absurd, but dedicated viewers can’t help but come back for more.

Anyway, I’m thinking old Casey may be a little smarter than I was giving him credit for. Although his use of “looser” “sweet” and the “loans” as trigger words isn’t very subtle, and his treatise on real estate brokers was more than a little over the top, he sure knows how to ping his audience.

And really, isn’t it all about generating comments? It’s internet theater of the absurd, and we are all in the cast. There are the Casey “groupies”, the earnest advice-givers, the jealous haters, the comedians, and of course, the intramural feuding amongst the posters.

I’m giving up on trying to figure him out; master manipulator or delusional meathead? I don’t care anymore. I’m just along for he ride.

Afterwards I am going to “flip” and “short sell” a little merchandise to some of the trailer park residents. We are also having a Christmas lights contest and I want you to be the judge.

Bubbles said it would be ok for you to stay at his shed behind the dope, oops, “farming” trailer.

If you want you can stay over the Christmas holidays and spend New Years with us. We normally have a killer blowout, Drinking rum and eating pepporni in Rickys car.

If this is invented, why not read it? People buy fiction, don’t they? Who gives a damn if reading this stuff earns him money? It’s not like anyone’s paying out of their own pocket. (Even if someone else researched the articles written about him and found out it was all true, nobody would believe them). How, exactly, is anyone else affected by whether this is true or not? I haven’t seen my bank balance go down one bit by reading this.

Not from a guru or shyster, but real *gasp* education?

The sad thing is that signing up for such a course would surely cost less than flying to Phoenix, staying for a week in a hotel, and paying for this asinine seminar.

Spaceman Spiff
December 11th, 2006 at 8:52 am

Casey,

Last night while patrolling planet Zok, I was bunced by spme Space Aliens from another Planet. When I got done saving the galaxy, I flew home and I read your post.

I think I have found 2 ways that your newly minted education will pay off, and pay off big. 1. But that house from carig’s list. Take the 200 large and find peace with you lenders. Stop for a wheatgrass to reward yourself for doing the right thing. Then find a new realtor and offer to sell the house with a 300 large payday at closing. You’ll probaby have to pay like 8% or 9% because Phoenix is getting expensive but do it.

So, 200 large + 300 large = a $500,000.00 profit just for doing 2 sweet deals. Wow you da man!

2. Learn from your class on how to buy sweet foreclosure deals. For the first 2 or 3 (hell, maybe 4 or 5), buy from yourself (cash back at closing, naturally). You’ll probably want to keep the cash backs to no more that $25,000 per house, per flip because these lenders will be keeping an eye on you. Do each one 3 or 4 times and then finally market them to someone in the neighbrhood.

I’d say it win-win for everyone. There is no way to loose. Real estate always goes up.

Important info of the day:

Here is what my dad taught me last night before bed.

Calvin: “Dad, how do ATM machines work?”

Dad: “I’t really very simple son. The bank has a man inside the ATM booth with a printing press. When you put in your card and press the buttons for how much money you want it prints a receipt for the man. Then he prints the money and puses it out the little slot.”

Calvin: “Oh. Is that the same man that makes our garage door opener work?”…

“It’s ironic that I’m facing foreclousre on a bunch of houses and I will be learning how to buy from people in my situation.”

It’s more than ironic. What you’re doing is wasting more time trying to distract yourself from matters at hand. You are not in the position and won’t be for a long time to buy anything from anyone.

Its hilarious to read the five ignorant bloggers above that criticize Casey for trying to learn how to buy foreclosures since he obviously has no money to buy them in the first place…

Here’s some edumication for you all. Read these next statements V E R Y slowly and carefully…

“Money is easy to find when you have a deal.”

“Money is easy to find when you have a deal.”

“Money is easy to find when you have a deal.”

“Money is easy to find when you have a deal.”

Read that again, please.

OK, now you can apologize to Casey for your ignorance on the matter and leave the criticsims to the professionals.

How are the classes so far?

See this comment why I keep removing your posts referring to the name of the real estate investing college. Simply, they don’t want their good name to be affected by the “haters” on this blog and the negative publicity I have in the media and search engines.

As to the experience so far… The foreclosure class was pretty good. Most of it was a review for me though. I’m looking forward to the short sale and wholesaling classes later in the week. They actually had a pre-assessment and post-assessment with grades and stuff. They really are running this thing like college instead of another “re guru seminar”. Better quality and and much cheaper than the stuff I’ve gone to in the past. I’m impresses so far.

Casey, are you planning to market your own properties to the folks at the seminar?

Sorry I can’t post the name of the real estate college at this point.

My student advisor asked me to not to share the name on the blog because I have “bunch of haters” here (that was the exact quote). Also I have a very high profile in the search engines and media (for not the best of reasons) and they want to keep their name clean. I can’t blame them.

I’m actually enjoying the college quite a bit. From what I’ve seen so far the quality of real estate education is much better than any of the other “guru” or “seminar” type of offerings out there. And much cheaper.

They even offer continuing education credit that can be transferred to other schools. It really is more like a “college” than a seminar.

I am quite sure that wasn’t even close to what your “student advisor” said to you. When you use the expression “haters”, what is it that you mean ? Most of the people who have wasted their time responding to you in this blog have actually been trying to help you. You should try listening for a change.

Who is paying your tuition at this supposed real estate investing college? Who is paying for your plane ticket and hotel expenses?

Oh I see…you’re not good enough to use their name, but you’re good enough for them to accept your money. Sounds like you’re getting a SWEET DEAL.

“My student advisor asked me to not to share the name on the blog because I have “bunch of haters” here (that was the exact quote).”

Are you kidding me? Is this like bad real estate guru lingo or something? You all talk the same! I’m picturing you going to class, walking into a big conference room, filled with 50 disheveled 20-somethings, all wearing wrinkled blue dress shirts, sitting on blue ergonomic balls.

@Flipper Idiot

You are more likely to be hit by an asteroid than to find a chump willing to sell you his house for half its value.

Now go read again. This crap just doesn’t work except for 0.01% of the people who get lucky. Which is why 99.99% of those who try, fail. The gurus get theirs up front so they don’t care. The guru game is the place to be.

Bollocks!

This happens every day all over the U.S.

the average price was $147,500… The developer had been selling the bigger units at the complex, dubbed The Hamptons at Tampa Palms, for $300,000-ish.

The question is not can you get 50% off (you can) but whether 50% off enough for it to be a safe investment. In this market you may need more like 75% off to really be safe.

I stand by my statement. In your example, the purchaser is not buying at half of “value”. As you correctly point out value has already declined greatly. Your example is half of some former price which is meaningless.

In order to make a profit seminar-style you need some fool to sell you the place for $75K, when others will pay today $150K. That is the “sweet deal” they all seek. Buy today for half of what you could go sell it for next week, with no work. Find a “motivated seller” who doesn’t care what he sells it for. The moron who will sell to you, for half of what he could sell to someone else for right now in today’s market.
