Your Fast-Track Field Trainer Paves Your Way to
Success by Doing it with You

While Dave Lindahl was building his 7000-unit portfolio, he developed expert, repeatable systems to take to simplify buying real estate. His field trainers know his methods and now so can you. The Fast-Track Field Trainer will hold your hand as you gain the confidence you need to buy that first duplex or the next apartment building.

This Isn’t Hocus-Pocus, “Done-For-You” Nonsense!

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. What keeps a student from getting that first deal done? Or what keeps a student from moving on to that next level? It’s fear, plain and simple. Fear of carving out the necessary time needed to succeed. Fear of making that first offer. Fear of success. The biggest fear is this: fear that the offer will be accepted! And the second biggest fear is closing on the property.

What causes those fears? They come from lack of confidence, from analyzing markets and analyzing the deals. Not knowing if they’re in the right place at the right time. Not building the right power team. One of the first assignments every new investor faces is building the power team – real estate brokers, bankers, mortgage brokers, attorneys, inspectors, appraisers and more. But some people are afraid to pick up the phone and to make those calls to the team members. Getting your first power team in place is probably the most important thing that you want to do.

Pre-Visit Preparation

Before your Fast-Track Field Trainer even comes to work with you, we are busy behind the scenes matching you with a the Fast-Track Field Trainer and a Action Plan so you and the trainer can hit the ground running the day he arrives.

A month before the visit the Fast-Track Field Trainer preparation process begins with…

• A complete review of the Fast-Track Field Trainer program
• An assessment of your goals and objectives: you make the most important decision of all and commit to yourself to change your future.
• Preliminary planning – scheduling the Fast-Track Field Trainer.
• Creating a time management checklist
• Assign preparation homework

Another reason people are not successful is because they lack private money systems. Some people are afraid to go through the process of presenting for private money. Some people like the idea of it but they do not have their systems in place to go out and get private money, the money they need to go into their deals.

And finally, people do not have business systems in place. They are disorganized and are not delegating things that they should be. They are not doing the thing most lucrative and productive.

Two weeks before the visit the process continues with…

• Define and quantify your financial obfjectives
• Determining your needs to meet that objective
• How many properties do you need to meet that objective?
• Can you accomplish your objectives with your resources?
• Resource script mapping
• Technical Skills: R = C•F (Revenue equals Competencies times Frequency). Dave Lindahl’s key to success. This is the most important tool to be used by every successful investor.
• Money
• Time
• Assign the preparation homework
• Complete Market Analysis, our Fast-Track Field Trainers have trained students nationally so they have a bird’s eye view of markets across the country. We make sure that you are in the right market, and then we show you how to educate your team and your partners on why it is a good market.
• Develop skills through a broker outreach checklist and setting broker appointments.
• We will give you powerful networking techniques to use at REIA meetings or networking.
• Building your power team and setting power team appointments. We help you determine the key team players that you need and how to find and approach them.
• Events. You will learn what to say in front of the room.

A week before the visit we finalize…

• The details of your Fast-Track Field Trainer’s trip to your chosen investment locality.
• Review all homework assignments.
• Answer any questions that you still may have.

Students all over the country who have overcome the fear of success tell us that finding money is a challenge that many times keeps a student from reaching goals. Fear of finding private money sources is at the heart of the challenge. Fear and lack of confidence in your ability to evaluate a property and make a compelling private money presentation may be keeping you from moving to that next level. We know it works, you know it works, you just need a kick start to put in place the necessary processes that let it happen for you.

And finally, people do not have basic business and organization systems in place. They are disorganized and are not delegating those chores which need delegating. Your Fast-Track Field Trainer will point you in the direction where you are at your most lucrative and productive.

On-Site Three Day with a Fast-Track Field Trainer

• You and your Fast-Track Field Trainer will be meeting with your chosen broker and those power team members you have assembled
• You will gain credibility from Day One, build rapport, learn how to talk like an experienced investor, develop that relationship that turns into all the “pocket” listings that you can handle.
• You will see how real pros create powerful bonds with a power team.
• You will witness how the relationship with the team and the investor is forged because you will be doing it real time -- you, the broker and the trainer.
• Be in command when you talk with real estate brokers once you find a property that meets your investing criteria.
• Walk properties with trained eyes that show you things that a new investor might overlook
• Have potential problems pointed out and learn how to renegotiate the offer to save you thousands and increase your credibility
• Learn how to examine the layout, floor plans, the comparables and the amenities. Your Trainer will point out things that most people will walk right by but are the keys to either making a good deal or making a great deal.
• Analyze deals and identify value plays in the income and expenses columns of your financials. We can determine what the seller is leaving out or is trying to cover up just by reviewing the Income and expense statement and the operations on the property.

That is why we created the Fast-Track Field Trainer program. Your Fast-Track Field Trainer will take you step by step for three days wherever you want to invest. It can either be in your own backyard or in an emerging market. You will get homework from the trainer prior to the site visit, including choosing your team and then scheduling a meeting with them. Your Fast-Track Field Trainer can even be on a conference call with them. If you’re afraid to make the call, the trainer will get on a conference call with you and your team for that meeting.

On-Site Three Day with a Fast-Track Field Trainer

• Reviewing property packages: Your Fast-Track Field Trainer will show you the keys things to look for, what is important, what is not, and what is missing.
• You will begin determining what submarkets your want to be in. Learn which local and government officials to meet, and how to find additional deals on your site visit.
• Mapping Your Market: Your Fast-Track Field Trainer will show you what is important when reviewing the areas surrounding your potential property. You will discover how to locate the best deals around your city and how to use simple demographics to qualify any city across the U.S.
• Site visits: Field Trainers are experienced deal makers and have seen it all. You will walk properties with your trainer as if it were the trainer’s own deal. Learn how to review the physical structure, individual units, laundry, and leasing office -- what to look for and how to deal with it, and most importantly, how to get the repair allowance you need.

The real strength in this business is analyzing the property, looking at the numbers and finding the deal in those numbers. Anyone can reject a deal, the key is finding a deal where others can’t. Your trainer will walk the property with you, pointing out potential problems, and hidden gems. You will be trained on how to put in offers and how to craft the deal. Your trainer will critique your private money presentation and investor relationships. Your sphere of influence will be evaluated. This is all about “GETTING IT DONE WITH YOU – NOT FOR YOU.”

On-Site Three Day with a Fast-Track Field Trainer

• Reviewing the numbers: The broker and the seller want you to see their property from a 30,000 foot view. But you need to understand what it looks like from the eyes of the property manager – your field general. Both can be done. All the information is right there on the income and expense statements. Your Fast-Track Field Trainer will get you there.
• Drafting offers and Letters of Intent (LOIs): We guide you step by step and teach you how to “sell” your offer to the broker. The offer or LOI starts the ball rolling.
• Due diligence process: You are creating your own business, so treat it that way. Your Fast-Track Field Trainer shows you how to go on an information-gathering and fact-finding mission – checking and double-checking, confirming and reconfirming any piece of important information that is used in determining the potential of a property.
• Crafting the deal, calculation the NOI (net operating income), the cap rate, the purchase price, and determining whether you have a deal or not based upon the financing structure. This could include discussions of creative financing, seller seconds, buyer takeaways (rent guarantees, repair allowances, etc.) and other ways to structure the deal. This is exactly where your trainer and you can show the person on the other side of the negotiating table exactly how to craft the deal – so it’s a win-win deal. Learn from a pro how to get offers accepted. Negotiate the deal from the inside out without the stress that normally goes along with it. Financing, either conventional or creatively, to get your deals closed.
• Finding the money: Your Fast-Track Field Trainer will help you find equity partners within your network. You will learn the step-by-step process to building your investor relationships. Cultivating your long term relations effectively will go a long way towards your success.
• Lenders: We will get you connected to mortgage brokers who get the deals to close. Learn how to talk to a bank, questions to ask, and strategies to discuss, and documents to bring.

Ok, the three days are done. You and the Fast-Track Field Trainer have accomplished more that you ever thought possible. Your confidence is at its peak and you are motivated to continue growing. But what happens if you encounter an unanticipated challenge to your momentum.
