Foreclosed Properties Mastery

A Step-by-step training for finding and buying Profitable Foreclosed Properties even with no real estate experience

The “Foreclosed Properties Mastery” training will show the A to Z on how to buy foreclosed properties (that are profitable).

This is our proven, most complete, step-by-step digital training course that walks you through exactly how to find, analyze, buy, renovate, and sell/lease real estate (with focus on foreclosed properties from banks).

No hype, no fluff, no kidding!

It is literally a step-by-step where you get everything you need to actually invest in profitable properties

6 Step-By-Step Core Modules – That will take you through the whole process of buying and profiting from a foreclosed property
Access and login 24/7 – All course materials are digitized and accessible online so you can login to access the content anytime from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Learn at your own pace where-ever you are!
Bonus #1: Unlimited access to Q and A webinar sessions
Bonus #2: Lifetime access to the online training and all content
Bonus 3: Buy 1 Take 1 promo – Additional access for spouse / sibling / fiancee / relative (choose only 1)
Real estate contracts template library: Access our entire library of real estate contracts you can use as templates. These are based on the contracts we used for actual transactions with banks, buyers, and tenants
This is meant to be an 8-week program (For the Core Training). This will empower you to identify your first (or next) profitable foreclosed property, with know-how that will guide you from the beginning to the completion of the deal, and you will get more than 15 years worth of “in the trenches” experience gained from working on our own deals (Note: If you can’t finish the training as scheduled, you can still finish it whenever you want because of the bonus lifetime access)
Training content is available online and downloadable in audio format (.mp3), slides (.PDF), and spreadsheets (.XLS) and these are delivered in a convenient, and organized way, that will give you proper direction for faster learning and success.
Access to calculators for analyzing properties – I use excel sheets to quickly analyze properties, and I have created equivalent online calculators for quick and easy analysis. You get access to both!
You save time and money through step-by-step video training. I can say you get hours and hours of training videos, but I would rather focus on the value you will get out of them. I created the videos based on our own experiences and lessons learned, and I edited them all myself to keep them short, and direct to the point, while ensuring nothing important will be left out.
In addition to our own real estate experiences, the content for the training is also based on our interaction with thousands of people on my blog ForeclosurePhilippines.com where I have answered more than 7,000 questions related to foreclosed properties.

Backed by 30-Day Money Back Guarantee

I have poured out all my knowledge gained from experience, and I held nothing back in this training. It is my hope that it will empower you to get started with investing in foreclosed properties.

Your 3-Step Real Estate Investing Plan

The “game plan” is that by the end of the training, you will be able to:

Identify properties with profit potential and do proper due diligence

Proceed with the purchase, renovation and marketing

Flip or lease a property, and then do more deals…

This training is about transforming you into someone who can actually see good deals out there, complete those deals, and then “rinse and repeat”.

Who will guide you in this training?

Jay Castillo

A lot of people encounter problems and challenges when buying real estate, including foreclosed properties.

I should know, I encountered them myself. But thanks to patience and a lot of help from mentors and friends, I was able to overcome those challenges.

I started ForeclosurePhilippines.com in 2008 to share lessons learned and how to overcome challenges people face with real estate investing in the Philippines.

I am not a “guru”, I only share what I have learned based on my own experience.

After several successful deals, I was able to quit my job as the I.T. Manager of a multinational company to focus on real estate full-time, and I have been documenting my real estate journey ever since.

I want to help fellow real estate investors out there who are on the same journey.

I am also a PRC licensed Real Estate Broker with REB License # 3194.

Cherry Vi Castillo

My wife Cherry Castillo helps me when it comes to legal aspects and taxation of real estate, where she brings in here vast experience during her stay at SGV Inc.

She is a Licensed Real Estate Broker (PRC Real Estate Broker License No. 3187), and placed 4th in the March 2011 Real Estate Brokers Licensure Exam.

Cherry is also a Licensed Real Estate Appraiser (PRC Real Estate Appraiser License No. 6918) and placed 8th in the August 2015 Real Estate Appraisers Licensure Exam.

She’s also a lawyer (Roll of Attorneys No. 55239), and CPA (PRC CPA License No. 0102054).

What makes this training different from others out there?

We hold nothing back in this training, because I want you to succeed, and I believe that’s the big difference. Here’s how we do it:

We tell it as it is – No beating around the bush, No sugar-coating. We give you just about everything.
We cover the whole process – Investing in real estate is like trying to solve a big puzzle. How would you feel if pieces of the puzzle were missing? We won’t hide any pieces of the puzzle. Wouldn’t you want to get the complete picture when it comes to foreclosed properties? That’s what we want you to have with this training.
Get the most complete, but practical training – Of course, having the most complete training can take a lot of time to run, and it can take days, which means it can be so expensive. I was able to solve this by coming up with an online training. It keeps costs down and practical. No more super expensive boot-camp style training programs!
Detailed explanation for each stage – Another thing you would need is to know what happens and what to expect at each stage of a real estate transaction, what are the costs involved, what are the applicable taxes, how to compute for them, what real estate contracts to use, etc. We have these covered in my training!
A community of fellow real estate investors in the Philippines – One more thing that comes to mind is being part of a group of “like-minded” people who are also into real estate investing, cliche as that may sound. Again, this made a big difference for me when I was just starting out. So instead of trying to do it all on my own, it was so much better when my friends, fellow investors, and mentors shared feedback, tips, inputs, and information (ex. experiences with buying from a certain village, market values, etc.). This was a big help, and pointed me to the right direction. You get this in my training through our exclusive facebook group.
Goes beyond “Inspiring you” – my training is not meant to inspire you. Don’t get me wrong, it should inspire you to get started, but I go beyond that by actually showing you how I am doing it, how my friends and mentors are doing it, step-by-step.
Got questions? Get Answers! – Of course, I don’t have a crystal ball, and you might have a unique situation not covered in the training. That’s what the Q and A sessions are for, so you can actually ask and get the help you need.
No more overwhelm – You get everything organized in one place, you can access 24×7, so you can go back and get the information you need down the road, whenever you need it (You get lifetime access). No more overwhelm trying to learn everything in one go.

But don’t take my word for it, here’s what you can expect + feedback from participants

Yes, this even works for properties that are NOT foreclosed

What if you have questions?

Each workshop/ module will have Q and A sessions at the end where I will answer each and every question.

YES, I WANT ACCESS

How much will this training cost?

Before you think that this training will be expensive, think about:

How long and how much money will it take you to try to figure this all out by yourself, do your own research, and “wing it” until it works?
How much would it cost to get a “Guru” to mentor you? (the last “real estate guru” I know who did this was charging Php 10,000/hour)
How much does it really cost to attend seminar after seminar that are filled with “Rah rah!” and fluff, but lack the important details you need to get started?
Or think about this: How much time, money, and effort you can lose with every mistake you make when buying real estate? The downpayment alone on a bad deal can cost hundreds of thousands of pesos…

Think of it as an investment that can…

If this training saves you from losing money on a bad deal via your show money (Usually Php20,000.00 for auctions) or earnest money (at least 5% of the selling price when making offers… that’s Php50,000 for a Php1M property), then the training has already paid for itself many times over!
What if the training helps you to actually get started with a profitable property, and you land more deals?
Think of the time, effort, money, and opportunities that don’t have to go to waste…
If you enroll, you can get the practical knowledge you need, and avoid making costly mistakes!

So instead of thinking how much this training will cost, consider the value of everything that you will get if you invest in this training!

What are you waiting for, Christmas?

One of my favorite quotable quotes is:

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

~ Chinese proverb

I believe investing in real estate is just like like planting a tree, because it takes a lot of time and patience to grow and bear fruit. The sooner you start, the better.

Otherwise, you might look back years from now and have regrets for not grabbing an opportunity when you had the chance.

But how would you know if a foreclosed property is really a good opportunity?

That’s what my training is all about.

I look forward to seeing you inside the training area.
