Sean Flanagan thinks of himself as a true American success story in every sense of the word. He was married with his first child on the way. He had bad credit, no formal education, no job and $200 to his name. Sean began his real estate investing career out of necessity.
Needing to buy a home for his growing family but not being able to qualify for a mortgage prompted him to go out and "find a way" to buy a home with no credit and no money. By sitting in bookstores and reading books he literally couldn't afford to buy, he figured out a creative way to buy real estate using none of his own money. He invested his last $200 into advertising for motivated sellers and ended up selling the first deal he found, instead of moving into the house.
He took his profits from that deal, reinvested them into more advertising and he never looked back. Most of Sean's real estate deals are done in the highly competitive Central Florida market.
Sean is quickly developing a reputation in the real estate community as a top marketer and coach to new investors. Along with the Lucky Buys Yucky Houses® marketing campaign, he also offers a program to new real estate investors. The program delivers a new action plan to their doorstep every 30 days and provides personal coaching along the way to help ensure his student's success.
When working with new investors, Sean helps his students get past their investing fears and take action. He says he believes that's one of the biggest challenges new investors face.
When asked to give advice to new investors, his response is always "take action." Followed by, "start with taking action and getting a good education on how to make money as a real estate investor. Learn how to think properly in order to achieve your desired results. Then take action as soon as possible by taking a calculated risk and jumping into your first deal."
In order to become a highly successful real estate investor, Sean believes you must work hard and work smart, with an emphasis on the ladder. It's absolutely not necessary to have good credit or a bunch of money to get started, but it is necessary to have persistence and a "never quit" attitude in order to achieve success in business.
Sean has gotten to the top by learning everything he can about real estate investing and then going out "in the trenches" and testing what he learns. He learns something new on every one of the deals he has done.
I think the program is ok (so far) from what i've seen. It is different.
