Important Notice to All Below Market Value Property Investors 

Good! I’m pleased!

As a BMV Property Investor do any of these things apply to you?

	Have you done one or two deals in the last two years and are you committed to move things up a level this year?   Yes   No
	Do you get fed up at the media telling you that its impossible to invest profitably in property right now?  Yes   No
	Do you sometimes wonder how you can defy the credit crunch and build a sustainable, fully-balanced property portfolio?   Yes   No

I'll let you into a little secret. You’re not alone!

I get lots of request from investors wanting me to move them up to the next level by mentoring them. Usually, they’ve already done a deal or two and got the taste for it, but want to do more deals, help more people, and create much more profit!

I'll be honest with you. I’ve always had two problems with traditional mentoring:-

So let me drop the shoe! Those people who are actively investing and doing true property investment mentorships out there are either not teaching what they’re currently practising, or it’s not a true mentorship!

Which led me onto this:-

How could I create a programme that provides the handholding element of a mentorship, incredible expertise, but a programme that is a completely different entity in its own right?

So what I did was to develop a 1-Year  Mastermind University Programme that - and by the time you’ve read every word of my promise I’m sure you’ll agree - goes way beyond the scope of a traditional mentorship!

Certainly the investors that completed Year One felt this. You can listen to what they said about the First Programme here.

So what if you were able to surround yourself with a small group of active property investors all committed to growing their property portfolios throughout 2009-2010?

What if, in addition to having your own personal Mastermind Group, you had an investor who was also active in the market and using Advanced BMV & NMD property investment strategies to devastating effect, you also had access to his personal mastermind group - some of the UK's leading property experts - who were all committed to seeing you grow your own property portfolio to secure your financial future?

What if there was a revolutionary programme out there where you had someone holding your hand and leading you step-by-step, guiding you, and showing you how you can continue to invest for your future through the economic downturn and through THE BUY OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME!

So what if you were able to create deals that just didn't look possible? What if you had the strategies to buy properties during the credit crunch, in a down market (even if you cannot get a mortgage!)

How great would you feel with the confidence of knowing that when you walked into the homes of motivated sellers, if a deal could be done then you absolutely would do it - because you had an Advanced Toolbox of Extended BMV Strategies at your disposal?

Imagine having the confidence of knowing that you could do a deal 75% of the time!

Before we get going I want you to know that this is about Below Market Value and No Money Down property investment strategies. This is about the ability to pull off jaw  -dropping  property deals out of sometimes very average-looking leads.

Now this programme is for active investors only. Places are by invitation only as we have to keep this exclusive. Only those able to demonstrate that they are making a firm commitment to invest, are keen to help others on the programme and willing to be innovative and courageous will be invited.

If you just want a series of workshops but you've no intention of actually doing anything then I don't want to waste your time - this isn't the place for you - and I'd urge you to stop reading this right now!

REALLY!    STOP READING THIS NOW!!

However if you’re looking to transform your approach to BMV & NMD then this is where you need to be - because what we’re doing is completely redefining what it means to be a property investor!

Now, let me tell you what I absolutely haven't done!

I haven't repackaged a 1-day course over 1-year!

For those who've have done the 1-day workshop you are welcome to repeat the 1-day workshop. Just let us know 2 weeks in advance! Even better, when you sign up to The Mastermind University you can automatically do the one-day workshop again for free!

I also didn’t want to create a broader property framework where you learn about the physical attributes of walls, windows, and wastepipes!

So what we’re doing is taking Below Market Value and No Money Down a generation on. We’re giving you a complete toolbox and transforming you into one of the most rigorously-drilled Below Market Value property investors in the country!

So What Is The Mastermind University?

The Mastermind University is a series of 10 workshops in 12 months, each carefully crafted and structured into a powerful BMV and NMD Programme.

Myself and my faculty staff (some of the UK's leading property experts), all specialists within their niche, will guide you through building you a whole toolbox of advanced strategies that is so advanced they are evolving all the time. Each expert is challenged by me to go the extra mile to deliver to you sessions designed to challenge you.

They will:-

This programme is about personal growth and we are committed to ensure that you execute on what you've set out to achieve!

The series is carefully structured in the way that the skills and strategies you learn in session 1, you’ll re-use for instance in sessions 3 & 5.

On the 1-day workshop we covered cooperative negotiation. What we cover on The Mastermind University 2.0 is competitive negotiation. You’ll need these competitive negotiation skills when you’re dealing with skilled negotiators and they’re exploiting your lack of skill and pitting their negotiation strategies against you!

You’ll use these techniques when you’re dealing with solicitors, lenders & estate agents - many of whom are well-trained in the art of negotiation.

That’s just an example!

And this is why you can’t take these sessions individually. The other reason you can't take these sessions individually is that we’re using the Mastermind concept to devastating effect - taking it way beyond the scope of a traditional mentorship!

My promise to you:-

You’re getting the most ground-breaking information in 3 distinct ways.

The Mastermind University uses the snowball effect gathering momentum and mass as you go forward. Once you learn the techniques, you’ll see their creative use in more complicated deals and strategies that you not only learn how to put together, you get HANDS ON PRACTICE in constructing these deals on The Mastermind University.

So while you sit there reading this of course, you’re wondering about all the different ways you can convert great below market value deals by joining The Mastermind University 2.0!

How Did The Mastermind University Come About?

Quite simply, it came about as we became aware that we were developing a whole gamut of strategies that opened up the number of deals that we could do to help motivated sellers!

I promise you:-

As I said all quite simple!

How does the Mastermind University work?

The whole programme boils down into 3 main areas:-

In the first session we’re expanding your perception of marketing. We have an established copywriter who’ll be walking you through critical copywriting principles for your marketing strategies. For the practical session, you’ll be breaking up into groups, studying the data that your own property businesses are feeding back to you, and then applying the copywriting techniques to your new marketing strategies. Again you’ll have the power of the whole mastermind group as you move beyond what everybody else is currently doing out there.

But your use of copywriting techniques doesn’t just stop there. You’ll be applying the copywriting techniques when we look at Internet Marketing (the second session) and again when we look at Rent-to-Own techniques.

This kind of joined-up thinking recurs throughout the 1-Year Mastermind University.

You'll have had the Advanced Negotiation session before we look at how to negotiate Lease Options in order to understand Rent-To-Own. You'll be using these techniques to get to grips with my Right-To-Buy strategy.

We'll be looking at how to work with the up & coming government procedures surrounding repossessions and how to stop repossessions in court.

For the last four sessions we'll look at best practice for managing your property portfolio, and starting your own Lettings Agency. We'll then look at the extended strategies such as working with the Welfare Benefits System, the Local Housing Allowance & the secrets of converting properties for Houses of Multiple Occupancy.

It is simple - but highly effective!

The results?    Are you kidding?

Here’s a deal that we put together:

 

I guarantee you this couldn’t have been done using the Classic Below Market Value model!

But that's what we did. Even better - here is a deal that one of the students who has just completed the first year of The Mastermind University.

Mastermind University Student  Doing Lease Option That Cashflows @ £7,000 per month!!!

Yep, you heard it right! £7,000 Per Month!!! On Richard Shepherd's first  Mastermind University   the investors covered Lease Options in October and November 2008 and already Darren Hunt and his delightful wife Tracy are doing their very first Lease Option! And what a deal it is! It's amazing, shortly after doing the workshops, they felt confident enough to negotiate and see through this jaw-dropping property deal! Health Warning!!!    As of April 2009 this deal isn't quite done yet!  Darren & Tracy are in the process of putting the final touches together on their business plan - but are confident it will work!  Tracy manages a nursing home in the area, and Darren is an IT Consultant.  They had no idea that property could be  this   powerful!   Darren's Case Study Audio Check out Darren's Testimonial This flies in the face of those who don't believe that you can be successful in this economic climate. This proves that if you have the dream, the courage to follow through -then you can achieve anything! "We were called from a landlord about some Houses of Multiple Occupancy he had in the area that were 2 x 6 bedroomed licensed HMOs, 1 7-bed HMO and a 21-bed HMO that were meant to be for asylum seekers. We were interested in the 21 bed HMO which is still licensed as a nursing home. He wants to exchange contracts for the nursing home and complete in 3-5 years down the line. The mortgage payments are £2,700 per month and the mortgage with Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Finance Loan. On 100% Occupancy (my wife is currently working in a nursing home in the area that is on 110% occupancy) the net profit is £7,000 per month!!!" Darren Hunt

Want to know how Darren got over his fears and pushed ahead with this deal? This is the type of advanced strategy we’ll be covering on the Mastermind University.

What else does The Mastermind University give you?

How to prise open deals that just aren't there - on paper   How to stop repossessions in just 1 day     How to profit from deals with little-to-no equity!     How to stop an eviction with just hours to spare     How to see deals immediately that other investors cannot even conceive     How to use our Right-To-Buy strategy and provide solutions to homeowners - even if they can't sell their ex-local authority house just yet!     The ability and confidence to take a hard line with both lenders and their solicitors knowing you've got them over a barrel!     How to dictate the negotiations with third party solicitors to prise open mouth-watering deals     How to strike up relationships with litigation experts to carve open lucrative property deals     How to offer debt-management solutions and profit that way     How to turn your competition to your advantage

Be honest. When you heard that same-day remortgage was gone, did you think that this would draw a line under you achieving financial freedom through property?

Most investors did and without realising that this was merely a signal to get better at what they do. Let's be frank, its in periods such as this that we start to see what separates the pros from the dabblers.

The pros realise that this represents a tremendous opportunity to buy bargain properties and to learn more about what they are doing - whether that's sourcing properties or managing their portfolios.

Or are you going to become one of the 98% of BMV investors dissatisfied with their level of success but who won’t do anything about increasing their skill level?

Look at this deal:

 

Want the proof? Well a helluvalot went into this deal and the completion statement may not make a whole lot of sense. But it clearly shows that we cashed out at over £33,000! have a look at it.

Here's the Completion Statement

I guarantee you this couldn't have been done using the Classic Below Market Value model! 

Again, this was a deal that we did. If you want to know what the previous students of the Mastermind University are doing, then check out this mother of 2 who became financially free:-

How A Shopkeeper From Salford Resuscitated A Dead Deal When His Lender Pulled The Plug...

This is a case study by Harish Patel.  Harish started the first Mastermind University in 2008.  He was completely stumped by this deal as last year lenders were finding any means necessary to pull the plug on property deals. Fortunately on the Mastermind University, there is a Deal Clinic section on each workshop where not just Richard, but the whole group put their creative minds together to solve problems (A Mastermind!).  Richard helped with the method you are about to hear. What you have to bear in mind is that last year was possibly one of the toughest years ever in property investment history.  The lenders were pulling their mortgage products sometimes every third day and sometimes investors did not know where they stood from one day to the next!  Lenders were going under, governments were bailing them out, and the rules just kept changing. This goes to show the power of the Mastermind. Harish bought 14 properties last year for £670,423 with  £167,605 equity!  At the moment he is buying 4 properties!   Harish Patel Case Study Sanjay Patel Testimonial Harish Patel Testimonial But this is Harish's story:- "I had a vendor call up. he lived in Bristol and his father lived in Bolton. He had to sell the Bolton house to pay for the care of his father. We agreed the price of £45k for the house and the comparables were £70. Other houses were for sale at £89,950. I applied for a mortgage with BMS and was approved. 3 weeks later the lender withdrew the offer. That weekend we had the Mastermind University. We discussed various ways of structuring deals and we realised the vendor needed to settle the bill for care and to build an extension of his house and build a granny flat. I went back to the vendor and the vendor financed a mortgage of £30,000. We purchased the house the week after and we're still paying him £300 per month! The rent is £415! Harish Patel

How are we doing these? You’ll get all these answers when you join The Mastermind University.

Imagine how confident you’d feel knowing that you have an extended set of BMV tools to make deals work when there appears to be no deal on the table.

 

These are the kinds of deals it is possible to put together and by upping your level of skill you can become financially free in the not-too-distant-future through property - as one of my previous students proved just last year:-

How A Mother Of Two Achieved Financial Freedom In Just A Couple Of Years!!!

Rozina Sharif did the 1-day Your Property Tutor workshop in 2007 and did the First Year of The Mastermind University in 2008-09! You can listen to her story below (just click play).  This one is more of a Testimonial, rather than a Case Study, however it is included here because it really highlights what can be achieved by having a goal, setting out to achieve it in a determined focus way. Rozina now has a portfolio of over 30 properties much of it achieved during  turbulent economic times of the credit crunch and she continued to buy properties last year - perhaps the most turbulent year in property investment history.   Rozina Sharif Case Study Rozina talks here about a deal she did that was 57% Below the Market Value:- Listen to her story here:- "I've done lots of deals over the course of the last year or two and one of the best deals was at 57% Below The Market Value. Using the techniques that Richard taught about - listening to what the vendor wants rather than going in and say 'well - I'll offer you this'! She was very happy and of course I got a great deal out of it as well so it was a great win-win situation! Obviously the market has changed so much over the previous 12 months so it was great to recognise that as the market changes a lot of the ideas that you had just aren't doable any more - so it's great to keep up to date with all of those changes, to readjust those goals. I'm pleased to say that 12 months on, I've reached my goal of financial freedom   and it's a great feeling, and I'd certainly encourage everyone to do that. It really is a great thing to do. Rozina Sharif

Amazing case studies, huh?

We start where we left off from the 1-day workshop. None of the workshops are seminars. They will all feature expert talks from myself and my Advanced Power Team of property experts - but each of the workshops has a large practical element in the afternoon - just like the 1-day workshop!

This way, you not only receive information - but the strategies are already practised, and in your body & mind - ready to be implemented instantly in your property investment business!

Myself and my team will guide you step-by-step all the way through this - and we'll pracice this in the workshop and be there to help at the other end of the telephone when you need it!

How much more successful do you think you’d be as a property investor with this Advanced Toolbox not just at your fingertips, but a part of your being?

Imagine the confidence you’d feel coursing through your veins knowing that even if there was the faintest whiff of a deal there - then you will absolutely do it!

Instead of worrying how you’re going to get leads, you’ll be working out what your new criteria should be for the deals you personally don’t want to see through!

How much advantage do you think you’d have over other investors in your area?

How much more adventurous do you feel you could become because you know that all the skills are right there ready to use?

Joining The Mastermind University and learning the advanced set of Below Market Value strategies will cause you to full understand why merely sticking rigidly to the Classic Below Market Value model is not the way to go.

Let me give you a sneak preview of the framework for each workshop:-
