As part of our Building Blocks Success Series, we interviewed ForeclosuresMass Member and local investor Chuck Horan.
Chuck starts off by sharing how he got started in real estate in the first place. Actively involved in his children's lives,
their decreasing need of his time as they grew up presented him with plenty of extra free time -- and extra expenses to match.
Realizing that college expenses (and his own retirement) were approaching, Chuck took the big leap into investing to get
a jump on establishing his financial future.
Now a seasoned investor, especially proficient in short sales, Chuck has learned many different "tricks of the trade"
that apply to both short sales specifically and investing in general. His suggestions for marketing, hints for working
with banks, and overall attitude towards investing and the process of doing deals can help you along your own path to success.
Of note, Chuck shares:
- 3 tips to ensure more favorable BPOs
- How to work with the bank -- and have them work with you
- The value of investing in your education
- Cutting through bank bureaucracy and all the red tape
- 5 surefire ways to expand your pool of buyers
Although investing currently remains a sideline to his full-time job in the printing industry, Chuck pursues deals with the
attitude that investing is a goal, a dream, and a passion. This approach gives him a zeal for the process of investing
from beginning to end - and it shows in his enthusiasm!
