FREE nights at the HILTON!!

A couple of people that are scheduled for our May class have had to reschedule for the next class (which looks like August), due to conflicts with their family schedules.

Sooo..I thought let's help out the others that are attending or planning to attend the May class.

What we are offering for the May attendees is 2 FREE NIGHTS at the Southlake Hilton where we train!

That is a room credit of $350 for your hotel stay!!

I don't want travel or accommodations to prevent anyone from starting their own lease option business, so this is a GREAT opportunity to get your 4 day training and let me PAY for $350 of your hotel stay!

If you are planning on using some Hilton Honors points for your hotel stay, fine, use the $350 as a room credit for ANYTHING!

Food, drinks, room service. Heck, you can even use it to go to the spa at the Hilton, Terrace Retreat, and get a massage!

It's your $350. Spend it however you want!

Please note, that this offer is ONLY available for the attendees of the May class.

This offer will NOT be made for other classes.

Payment Options

In the last couple of weeks, I've had some people interested in coming to my course asking about the payment options, so I thought it was worthy of making a quick blog post about it.

If someone pays directly via the web site, the attendee must pay via one source, or one credit card.

A number of people have contacted me about paying over more than one source, which I am more than happy to do. I've had people split it up over a few credit cards, or a few cards and mailing a money order for the remainder. Whatever is easiest on someone.

If someone wants to break up the cost I always say just call or e-mail me. We'll make it work. We'll make it happen!

This is your future company at stake and I'm here to help.

Hey John, Can I call you for Info?

I received a few e-mails this past week from people that had some general questions about the course and what I offer. I answered their questions, then gave them my number to call and give them more specific information.

They said they saw my number on the site, but didn't know if it was an automated recording they would get, or if they could call it.

The number on the contact page is my actual cell phone. My umbilical cord if you will. If you have a question or questions about the course or how everything comes together, feel free to e-mail or call me (817.980.0068).

If you get my voicemail, just leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I'm normally on the phone a lot, but call me anytime. Don't worry about calling too late, as I always have the ringer off and just use my earpiece.

I'm more than happy to talk to you and discuss the course and any question you have about lease options.

Lease Option Classes Teams Up With Michael Carbonare of Naked-Investor!

Southlake, TX (PRWeb) - John Jackson with Lease Option Classes, announced today that he is teaming up with Michael Carbonare of Naked-Investor, to offer the most complete lease option training available.

“I’m extremely excited about what we’re putting together.” stated John Jackson, founder of Leasing to Buy, LLC and Lease Option Classes. “I’ve always known without a doubt that the course I offer, which is based specifically on how to duplicate my proven lease option business was unlike anything else out there. But now, by teaming up with Michael Carbonare from Naked-Investor, we offer a dramatic one-two punch, by allowing the attendees of the class to spend 4 full days with two of the best experts in the lease option business.”

“It was an obvious and natural fit to work together.” added Michael Carbonare, “With the training I have offered for over 14 years, combined with John’s ability to show people how to turn that knowledge into a full fledged, income producing business, it is a no brainer that we should combine our knowledge to help others develop their own lease option business.”

With over 14 years of experience, Michael Carbonare has trained and mentored individuals from all over the country on lease options, and is one of the most highly respected people in the field. Michael helps the members of his site www.Naked-Investor.com by answering any question they may have, giving direct guidance, mentoring and support.

With over 7 years in the lease options industry, John Jackson, founder of www.LeasingtoBuy.com, the largest lease option company in Texas, brings a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge to the table. From the growth of Leasing to Buy, came www.LeaseOptionClasses.com. John had looked to sell franchises of Leasing to Buy, but opted rather, to teach very small group of people, how to duplicate his business, so that they didn’t have to pay a franchise fee.

“When I teach someone how to duplicate my lease options business, I’m essentially giving them what you would get if you bought a franchise. I don’t sell DVD’s, or CD’s, because lease options are a business, and you can’t learn a business from a DVD.” Added John, “There’s nobody better to come in for a full day and teach the core fundamentals of lease options then Michael. Nobody. Then, for me to then come in to the class and spend three intense days giving students access to everything I have, is going to be huge for our attendees. Forget the real estate DVD’s, when you leave our class, you’ll have a business!”

The first four day class being offered by John and Michael is May 19th -22nd, and is offered at the Hilton in Southlake, TX, just minutes from DFW airport. They only plan on offering a couple of classes a year and limiting the class size to about 10 people, so they suggest signing up quickly.

Where Have I Been?

I've gotten some e-mails from people wanting to know what's going on, and where I've been the last few weeks or so, as I haven't sent out a newsletter, or updated the blog etc.  The truth is, I've been VERY busy with Leasing to Buy.  The last 3 months of the year are historically slower for the lease option business, and real estate in general.  I usually take advantage of this, and really pound the marketing to homeowners the last few months of the year, so that by January, we have a pretty good inventory of houses.  Jan. starts the mad rush for houses, as people are past the holidays, and they are looking to get their tax returns.  I anticipate this Jan will be even busier, given the tax credit has been extended.  

So we've been very busy sending out a few thousand mailings per month, to build up our inventory, BUT, we haven't really seen the year end slow down yet, so we have just been as busy as any other time.  

If you've been through my training or a one on one class, you know this is the time to hit the mailings.  Get that inventory ready for the Jan/Feb rush!

Why I Don't Sell My Lease Option Manual

From time to time I'll receive an e-mail asking me if, rather than attending the 4 day training I offer, if someone can just buy my manual. I explain that I'm not selling a book, I'm training people on how to develop their own company that duplicates our program.
For those of you that have attended my training and received my operations manual, you can testify that my operations manual is far different than the garbage you might expect from one of those "buy my books and dvd course" gurus.
My operations manual is full of real life experiences. Real life and actual situations. My manual explains how to set up your business, mistakes I've made along the way and how to avoid those mistakes.
My operations manual does NOT make up unrealistic figures. I don't try to get people excited and pumped up about the millions of dollars you'll make, or create bogus hype about how lease options are so easy that you don't even have to work.
My manual was not written to be used on it's own. My operations manual was written to guide the licensees of Leasing to Buy, but with the understanding that they were going through intense hands on training with me.
If you tried to create and develop a lease options business using JUST the manual, you'd certainly have a huge head start, but you'd be missing at least 50% of the training. At least that much.
Keep in mind my manual offers more information than any other "book and dvd course", yet I still wouldn't want someone to try to just read my manual and try to go out on their own.
Given that, how effective and worthy do you think those book and dvds are that so many people try to sell by the hundreds?
I don't sell my manual, because my goal isn't to sell my operations manual.
My goal is to help people that are SERIOUS about starting their own lease options business, and give them the structure and outline it takes to duplicate our program.
That's why I always say that I don't teach the "theory" of lease options.
I give you a lease options business.
If you are just "curious" about lease options, feel free to e-mail me and I'll guide you on how to get some basic, yet factual, information on lease options.

Working Smart-outsourcing

If you are trying to run your own small business, and you aren't familiar with outsourcing, then you are very likely spending a bunch of time doing things that you could have other people doing for you.

Outsourcing is becoming more and more popular, given the number of tasks that can be done off site, and especially given the costs savings of outsourcing vs. hiring someone full time.

There are a number of outsourcing websites out there that allow you to post a job you need done, and within a few days you'll have a number of people bidding on it! I've used outsourcers (Commonly referred to as virtual assistants, or "VA's") to do a number of tasks for my company, such as creating mailing lists, gathering advertising quotes, booking hotels, planning travel arrangements, and even making calls for me.

Often you will see VA's from other countries such as India. You can expect to pay less for someone from another country, but there is often a language barrier, and misinterpretations from the directions you were giving.

If you are operating a small business, think about the time you spend every day, or every week doing tasks that could be done from another location. Such as loading inventory on a website, creating newsletters, mailings, updating customer information etc. ANYTHING you can think of, that you could do from another location, can be outsourced.

I used to spend 3 hours a week on our newsletter, which means often times it wouldn't get done. But now I outsource it to a lady that needs no direction and knows how to structure it. She updates our contacts, creates the letter, and it's done!

In my lease option training, I actually introduce the students to the VA that I use for a number of projects, and allow the students to utilize her for the same tasks for them. Thereby greatly reducing the time required for start up. It's all part of the business in a box.

You can find VA websites such as Elance, Brickworx, etc, but simply searching virtual assistant, or outsourcing.

When you first find a VA, give him or her a test job, and see how they perform. I would actually recommend hiring 3 or 4 people for the same task, then see who does the best job. That's how I found my VA's. I tried a number out for the same tasks, and the ones that didn't cut the mustard weren't invited to play again.
