Insider Hedge Fund Formula
nnSeems pretty obvious right?nYou’ve probably never heard of Eddie Speed in the news before, and some of the richest people in America would like to keep it that way.nnIn this short letter you’re going to find out why billion dollar hedge funds and even regular Average Joe’s come to Eddie for financial advice.nnNow there’s not going to be any hocus pocus miracle pills, but you are going to learn about a legitimate bonafide way to earn tens of thousands of dollars.nnIf you want to tell your boss to take a hike one day, or you’re thinking about retirement, or if you just want to buy expensive toys, you’re going to love this letter…nn nnGet Insider Hedge Fund Formula downloadnnBut first, I should tell you a little about myself…nnHi, I’m Eddie Speed.nnIf you met me on the street, you’d probably think I’m a pretty average guy.nnI’m a husband and father of three. That’s me below, to the right of my beautiful daughter, with my family.nnOn Friday nights you’ll find me at my son’s high school football games or watching one of my daughter’s dance performances.nnI went to college, but just for a two-year degree in ranch management – that’s right, I’m a cowboy. I even competed in rodeos for years.nnI didn’t have any background in investments or really any special skills at all. In fact, I’m actually dyslexic, which means I find things like reading and spelling very difficult, so you might actually have a significant advantage over me.nnSo like I said, I’m pretty much just like your average American, except for one major difference:nnFor the past 20 years, some of the richest people and the most successful companies in the country have been coming to me for investment advice.nnJust this past Spring, I was having lunch with the CEO of a multi-million dollar hedge fund. He explained to me how they were struggling a bit due to the huge hit in the stock market a few years back.nnA lot of hedge funds, perhaps just like you, had a lot of their capital tied up traditional investments like the stock market or even property management. They’ve taken a big hit since 2008.n“The old strategies for investment just don’t work anymore” he told me. “We need some strategies that will work, regardless of what’s happening in the economy.”nnThat’s when the multi-million dollar hedge fund CEO asked for my help.nnRight there at the lunch table, I outlined a few simple strategies that they could implement immediately. His jaw practically hit the table.nnNow, you might be thinking “Sounds like this is for guys with big money, hedge fund managers, and millionaires. Not for normal people like me.”nnThat’s good thinking, it means you’re smart. It means you’re not dumb with your money.nnIt means you’re not the type that just falls for anything.nnI want to assure you though, and in just a few minutes you’ll hear from normal people like you, that YOU can do this too.nnThe hedge funds are doing it to make millions, but you can jump in at a lower level and still make a few extra thousand, then grow your portfolio from there.nnBefore you know it you’ll be one of the big shots too!nnOk so where was I… Oh yeah…nnA week later he put me up in first class on a plane and flew me down to his headquarters to train his entire acquisitions team. I spent three full days training his staff and educating them on how to apply this investment formula I created.nnBy the end of the three days, his entire team were experts.nnWithin three months, they were closing tens of millions of dollars worth of transactions.nnAs you can imagine, they send me a pretty nice Christmas gift every year.nnThe strategies I’ve been pioneering over the past 30 years are the same strategies that Billionaires like Warren Buffett are now using.nnThe same strategies you will be now using too.nnI know it may be hard to imagine right now sitting in front of the computer reading this letter, but I can see you 6 months from now.nnYou’ve done a few small deals, made your money back, and now you’re working on your first big deal. You’re excited, wife is excited, and you can just feel how close you are to finally reaching your dreams.nnI want that for you, and I’ll explain everything in just a minute.nnIn fact, there are now dozens of hedge funds that are implementing the exact same formula I outlined at that lunch table. These hedge funds are closing tens of MILLIONS of dollars in transactions on a monthly basis.nnSo, you’re probably asking yourself….why are they coming to Eddie the ex-cowboy from Texas, for investment advice?nnWell the short answer is that I’m one of only a handful of people in the entire country with the specific knowledge they need to take advantage of this opportunity. I’ve spent over 30 years in this little known niche, and I’ve actually created a lot of the systems that today are just “common practice”.nnA lot of these hedge funds consider me their “secret weapon” in helping them get an edge in our economy. These hedge funds are seeing huge returns and industry experts across the country are wondering how they did it.nnSo why am I telling you about about all this?nnWhy should you care? Simple, I want to share with you the same strategies the insiders at the hedge funds are using to make a fortune.nnIn addition to big companies, I recently started working with individuals to teach them this formula. Some of the extraordinary men and women I work with have created 5 and 6 figure monthly incomes in a very short amount of time as a result of these strategies.nnSo why am I telling people about these strategies instead of keeping them all to myself?nnFirst of all, because this opportunity is so big that there is more than enough to go around. I’m talking TRILLIONS of dollars in opportunity.nnThat’s a BIG number I know…nnIt’s only that big because of what a certain man who lives in a Washington DC who will remain nameless has gotten this country into.nnThere has never been a better time in the history of our country to get in on this. The economy has created an ocean’s worth of great Real Estate deals, but ONLY if you know what to look for and how to act…nnIn my opinion, the last thing our nation needs right now is more selfish investors. After all, that’s how we got into this mess in the first place. What we need are people to work together so we can get our country back on track.nnSecondly, because this is an industry where if one of us benefits, we all benefit. In fact, a lot of the individuals that I taught this formula to, have gone on to partner with the same hedge funds that I worked with and they all made a lot of money together.nnI teach the smaller guys how to spot good deals and what to say to the bigger guys to get them to buy up all the deals they found, with a little profit off the top.nnIt’s a win/win…nnIt’s almost like a finders fee, but I don’t want to call it that because it’s not.nnWhat it is though, is a rapid way to earn income. Income that pays bills or maybe your bills are paid and you need to pay off some debts.nnWouldn’t it be nice to send in payments that take large bites out of your debt total?nnThese strategies are so powerful that ANYONE can use them to generate substantial sums of money, whether you’re just an investing hobbyist or you’re a multi million dollar hedge fund. This formula simply works.nnSo let me give you the full story to see if this unusual opportunity might be right for you….nnThe Hedge Funds’ Secret Weapon in a New EconomynnAs you may have guessed, the industry we’re in is real estate, but before you run in the other direction, it’s NOT what you’re expecting. I’m talking about a hidden oportunity WITHIN the real estate industry, but before I get more into that…nnWhy real estate?nnWell I don’t really want to harp on how volatile the stock market has been lately, or how sketchy some make money online programs can be…nnIt’s the same reason that Billionaires like Warren Buffett and huge hedge funds are getting involved. Because Real Estate & Gold is where the money is at. The opportunity in the market right now is the biggest that I’ve seen in over 30 years.nnGold is not my specialty though, and even the way I do Real Estate is different. I’ll explain how in just a second…nnI know a lot of people might say “But what about the housing market? Isn’t this a bad time to get involved in real estate?”nnThe truth is that down-economies are the BEST time to make money in this industry…..IF you know what you’re doing.nnAnd again, to be clear, I’m not talking about traditional real estate deals like foreclosures, short sales, wholesales, REO’s or any of that stuff. I’m talking about a niche opportunity within the real estate industry where you can buy deals so cheap you don’t even need a calculator.nnI’m Talk About Buying Discounted Real Estate NOTES.nnYou’ve probably never heard of real estate notes, it’s not the high flyin dramatic stuff on those reality TV shows.nnHowever, this little-known strategy is nothing short of the best kept secret in the investing world.nnI don’t want to get all political on you, but quite frankly, the old ways of doing real estate are dead and all of the savvy investors are jumping ship and coming over to note investing.nnThese deals are so simple that absolutely ANYONE can take advantage of them and make a killing.nnJust to give you an idea of what a note deal looks like, take a look at these quick examples:nnOne of my student’s named Brian recently bought a note on a single family property in Kansas City, MO. Brian bought the note for only $3,600 and quickly turned around to sell it for $12,000 in less than 60 days. That’s a fast profit of $8,400!nnAs you probably know, there are several ways you can invest in real estate today.nnYou can flip houses, buy bank-owned property, you can become a landlord, etc. (These are what I like to call the “old ways”)nnHowever, the average investor doesn’t understand that each of these strategies has downside, which may make them difficult or even inappropriate for some people.nnIn fact, some of these strategies are so risky that it’s next to impossible for some people to safely make money with them.nnTake rental properties for example.nnIf you got lucky and got a good deal, then your rental income exceeds your monthly mortgage payments and provides you with a little bit of monthly cash flow. However, you still have to deal with “tenants and toilets”, as they say.nnIf anything goes wrong with the property, then you have to pay for it out of your own pocket. I’ve heard all kinds of tenant horror stories like calls at 2 a.m. on Christmas to fix a clogged drain. Plus, if the tenant stops paying, then you’re really in trouble.nnMany seasoned investors view a single family rental property as THE riskiest strategy in real estate. Sure, you can make some monthly rental income, but not without a lot of risk and headaches. This is why so many people become “burnt out landlords” so often and end up selling the property for a loss or just to break even.nnThen there’s buying foreclosures.nnI’ve heard a lot of people talk about buying foreclosures as the “hot” opportunity in the market. This includes deals done through a straight foreclosure sale, a short sale, or as a bank owned property (REO). The truth is, it’s getting harder and harder to find a good deal these days.nnStates all across the country have had drastic drops in bank owned property inventory. Nationally, REO inventory is down 18%. FHA has reported a staggering 47% drop in their REO inventory.nnHousing inventory is near the same level as it was in 2004, at the height of the real estate market.nnAccording to supply and demand, when the supply is down then the prices go up….nnHome prices have increased 5.7% in the last 12 months alone.nnThis means that real property investors are paying more than they use to for deals. According to the National Association of Realtors, as of August 2012 foreclosures were sold at only a 21% discount while short sales were sold for even less at only a 13% discount.nnThis has made it increasingly difficult and very risky to make money on foreclosure deals anymore.nnThe point is, while I wholeheartedly believe in real estate, the truth of the matter is that most real estate investments have big disadvantages.nnAnd this is why some of the smartest and richest people in the country are NOT going after rental properties, short sales or foreclosures.nnThey’re going after real estate notesnnto make a fortune from the opportunities in this “new economy” that we see right now.nnWithout trying to sound dramatic, I really can’t overstate the fact that the old ways of real estate investing are DONE. If you have any interest in making an extra couple thousand dollars a month or growing your retirement account or even building a full time income from your investments, you absolutely need to get into real estate notes.nnMost Americans have no idea about this niche industry within real estate, and even if they have heard of it, they don’t really know how to get involved.nn…It’s almost as if real estate note investing has been reserved for a “secret society” of some of the wealthiest and most prosperous investors in the country. But this couldn’t be further from the truth as this opportunity is available for ANYONE to take advantage of and make a significant income from.nnThat’s why I’m here to help peel back the curtain and expose the same formulas that these hedge funds have been using to make a fortune.nnRight now I have countless students, who are just everyday folks like you and me, that are making extraordinary sums of money from, what I consider, the best kept secret in investments.nnThe best way to explain how it all works is to introduce you to one of the big hedge funds and some of individuals I work with…nnBehind the Scenes at “Capital Rock Hedge Fund”nnBefore I tell you about “Capital Rock Hedge Fund”, first let’s talk about what a note is.nnA real estate note is simply the IOU that a borrower agrees to pay when they buy a property and get a mortgage. The note basically says how much they owe (Called the Principal), how long until they pay off the loan (Called the Term) and what the interest is (Called the Rate).nnMost people casually refer to this loan as a “mortgage”, but this is actually a misnomer. The note is just the IOU while the mortgage is the security instrument that ties the note to the property (which is called the Collateral). Simply put, the mortgage says that if you don’t pay on the note, you don’t get to keep the property.nnThese notes have been bought and sold “in secret” for years by both companies AND individuals.nnNow, when a borrower stops paying on their loan, their note is then classified as a “Non Performing Note” or a “Delinquent Note”. So rather than deal with a non performing note themselves, lenders will often sell these off at big discounts.nnAnd since the note is secured by the property, you can essentially control the property for significantly less than you could if you bought it at foreclosure.nIn the end, this means less risk and more profit for you.nnNow you’re beginning to see why this is such an amazing opportunity!nnIt’s important to note that this is very common and it happens thousands of times a day, every day.nnIn fact, this is so common and there are so many real estate notes available right now that lenders are practically begging for more private note buyers like you and me to get in the game.nnMore Deals Than They Know What To Do WithnnFrom 1980-2006, the typical 90 Day Delinquency Rate on loans was 0.78%.nnRight now, an astronomical 2.1% of ALL loans are 90 days delinquent – More than four times the rate of the previous 26 years.nnPerhaps even more startling is that 6.5% of all loans are in some delinquent status.nnSo when my friends at “Capital Rock Hedge Fund” came to me looking for a new strategy, I showed them how they can purchase these real estate notes at unbelievable discounts.nnNow Capital Rock has millions of dollars at their disposal, so when they close a transaction with a lender, they typically buy dozens, if not hundreds of these notes at one time amounting to tens of millions of dollars worth of property. By purchasing these notes in bulk, they are able to get them at some serious discounts.nnAnd it’s not just Capital Rock either…nnThe investing world is awash with pools of notes that the banks sold off to the Hedge Funds.nnTake a look…nnEven government backed notes are being sold off at record pace…nnAnd these notes are being sold off cheap…nnCountrywide sold off a $964.7 million dollar pool of notes for only $45.5 million.nnReal estate values may have dropped significantly…but this is a 95% discount!nnYes, real estate is extremely forgiving when you buy right…nnSo, what does this have to do with you?nnWell, one of the greatest kept secrets in the investments world, and the reason that these companies come to me for advice is that I discovered there is a simple formula for doing these transactions the right way. And perhaps even more important is that I figured out that absolutely ANYONE can follow this exact formula to make huge profits.nnYou see, this hedge fund, just like many of the hedge funds I work with, buy so many of these deals in bulk, then they turn around and sell them one or two at a time to individual investors like me and so many of my students.nnEssentially they are buying by the case and selling by the bottle.nnThis is such a great deal for everyone that both the hedge funds and my students are practically banging down my door asking for more.nOpportunity and LifestylennNow, you might be thinking that you have to be rich to get involved with this business. But the reality is that this couldn’t be further from the truth.nnYou don’t need to have lots of money to do this.nYou don’t need to have a big company.nYou don’t need to have any special business skills. (I sure as heck didn’t with a Ranch Management degree!)nIn fact, you don’t even need to leave your home to do this.nnPart of the beauty of this business is that you literally can do it from anywhere in the world. All you need is a phone and a computer with an internet connection.nnI get flown all over the country up to three times a week to meet with new hedge funds or new students and show them this formula, but I’m managing my own investments at the same time from my cell phone and my laptop.nnMany of my students have adopted the “4-hour” lifestyle that has become so popular lately. They work just a few hours a week in whatever time they have, yet they are able to make a full-time income without the commute of a “normal job” or the headaches of managing traditional investments like rental properties.nnJust how much money am I talking about?nnWell, investing in real estate notes can be one of the most lucrative things you could ever do financially.nnJust to give you an idea of what kind of discount you get get these notes at, the industry average for the value of the property securing a note is $60,000.nThe average purchase price for that note is only $24,000. Imagine how much profit you could make if you were getting deals at only 40% of the property value!nnCompare that to the foreclosure investor who is paying 79%nnLet’s take a look at some real deal examples from some of my extraordinary students so you can get an idea of just how much money people are making in this industry.nProof That The Formula WorksnnMeet Tom and Debbie.nnTom and Debbie went out and found a note from a Hedge Fund for a single family property in Houston Texas. They found out they could get the deal for $247,000.nnNow, Tom and Debbie didn’t have the $247k to buy the note, so they went out and found an investor to buy the note for $265,000. This means that the investor put up all the money and Tom and Debbie walked away with a profit of $18,000!nnThen there’s Brian and Michelle Winberry. Brian and Michelle used to be in the Repo business, but with all the success they’ve had with notes, they now do this full time.nnBrian and Michelle found a note on a property in Kansas City, Kansas. The valuation of the property was $25,000.nnThey bought the note at $7,900 and turned around and sold the property at a quick sale value of $22,000! That’s a profit of $14,000.nnOr how about Dan Ebert. Dan used to be in the manufacturing business, but like so many of my students, he now invests in notes full-time.nnDan bought a note on this property for $10,500.nnShortly after buying the note, the real estate agent called him to tell him that they have been trying to do a short sale on the property and have an offer for $22,000. As the note holder, Dan accepted the short sale offer and went to closing.nnNow, this was Dan’s first deal so he made some mistakes along the way,nnbut still ended up making $11,500!nnNot a bad profit for doing things the “wrong way”!nnOne of my more advanced students is Ryan Parsons. Ryan was a young, highly-paid executive who left his job because he was making more money and having more fun investing in notes!nnOne of my more advanced strategies that Ryan used is when you get a non-performing note to start paying again (now called a “Re-Performing Note), you can sell off a chunk of the monthly payments to an investor looking to get a good return on their money and still own the note.nnRyan bought a Re-Performing note on a property in El Paso, TX and immediately started earning money on the monthly payments. He then sold a portion of the monthly payments to another investor for a significant profit (plus the investor also got a great deal!). Plus, got the homeowner to start making back payments on the arrearages. In total, between the monthly payments, the profit from selling part of the payments to another investor and the arrearage account, Ryan will make a total of $182,687 on this one deal!nnOnce you’re armed with my strategies, you will have the skills and the confidence to close the same type of deals that the big hedge funds are closing, just like Ryan did!nnIt took me dozens of years in this industry to perfect this formula, but now that I have, this truly is an opportunity that EVERYONE can take advantage of. Just like my extraordinary students that you just met.nnMy point is, the smartest people and companies in America are getting involved in buying discounted real estate notes. And now you can have the exact same strategies that they’re using to make killer profits and unbelievable returns.nnAgain, you don’t have to be rich to participate. You just have to know how to do it. Which brings me to my next point.nnBefore I show you how to get started, there’s one more thing I think I need to mention….nnHow to Tap Into the Trillions of Dollars in “Anxious Money”nnYou see, so far the focus of this letter has been to give you the full details on the little-known strategies these multi millionaires and hedge funds are using to make huge sums of money in today’s market.nnBut what I haven’t told you yet is how many of these investors are doing it with absolutely no money of their own.nnThat’s right, you don’t need to have a lot of money to be successful in this business.nnHere’s why…Since the stock market crash in 2008, people all across the country have pulled their hard earned money out of the stock market and have been looking for new, safer investments.nnAccording to the Federal Reserve, there is over $11.8 Trillion dollars in cash accounts!nThis is money that is looking for a safe home outside of the stock market – what I like to call “Anxious Money”.nnMany of these investors have turned to real estate as their new investment vehicle. How do we know this, because we are seeing the number of properties sold for cash rise dramatically. 30% of all homes sold now are bought for 100% cash. That is DOUBLE what it was in 2008.nnIn fact, in the past three years, 4.29 Million homes were sold for 100% cash.nnThe market is loud and clear that people want their money OUT of the stock market and INTO real estate investments.nnSo what I do is help my students tap into the $11.8 Trillion dollars worth of money that is just sitting out there and use it to fund their deals.nnThis is something that anyone can do, and it allows people without any money of their own, to quickly get started in this business.nEasily Close Deals Without Any of Your Own MoneynnOne of my students, Justin Wagner, started out with no money of his own so he was really excited when I was telling him about how he can tap into “Anxious Money” to close his deals.nnAlmost immediately, Justin started closing deals using other people’s money. Now, after less than one year in the business, Justin says that money is chasing HIM. Here’s what Justin had to say about working with me:nn“I have learned that you can start your own business with little money and achieve great success. I am proof. We’ve purchased over $3 Million worth of defaulted debt in the past 9 months and feel that we can double that number very soon. This is an exciting, profitable business, but the best part is that you can make money while changing people’s lives for the better. Hat’s off to Eddie, I couldn’t have done it without you!”nnStories like that from from Justin really touch my heart and make me proud to work in this wonderful business!nnInvesting in discounted real estate notes has been one of the best ways to grow and preserve your wealth over the past several years, and the opportunity is only getting bigger.nnWith good traditional real estate deals getting harder and harder to come by, real estate notes is simply the opportunity that many people need right now.nnReal estate notes is hands down the best opportunity to get rich in the next five years. I’d like to give you the full details on this opportunity too. Let me show you how to get started, if you’re interested…nnThe Most Important Investment Strategy in AmericannNow, what I’d like to tell you about today is how to get involved buying and selling discounted real estate notes using the same strategies I teach the hedge funds.nnOver the past 34 years, I’ve invested in real estate in all kinds of ways – everything from flipping properties to buying and holding rental properties.nnBut the truth is, nothing compares to the opportunities in the discounted real estate market right now and for the next five years and beyond.nnInvesting in discounted real estate notes is my #1 financial recommendation in the world right now.nnAs I mentioned, there is trillions of dollars worth of deals available right now at massive discounts.

But don’t take my word for it, let’s see what some of my students had to say about my training:nnYes, you heard that right. Only $97.nWhy so cheap?nnWell, the truth is that I’m always on the lookout for good note deals and I often buy deals directly from my students (and they make a big profit!).nnSo, I figure that the best way to get you closing deals is to go through my course. Then once you’re able to locate great deals I’d love to talk about buying them from you.nnI’ll never sell it cheaper than this, but I do plan on testing a few higher prices.nnI’m no web genius, but I do know money.nnSo if I can charge twice the price and get the same amount of buyers than I will. If you come back and the price has changed, well, I told you I was going to do it.nnAnd just in case you’re on the edge aTrading foreign exchange and algorithmic assets on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
