| Big Fat 'Lies' To Tell So You Can Have Your Way In The Creative Real
Estate Business |
Have you ever ridden a roller coaster? Did you ever stop to think
why someone would do that just for the thrill of it, but they wouldn't
want to ride in a rattling little jalopy going the same speed on a
winding mountain road of the same track-width, with sheer 200 foot
drops on both sides…while someone they never met did the driving?
Well, the answer is obviously that one is real and dangerous, while
the other is real but not dangerous. On the roller coaster you can
have the thrill of fear with a predictable safe outcome, rather than
experiencing fear with death being a potential (if not probable)
outcome. The squeals and screeches emanating from the roller
coaster ride are usually articulated through gleeful smiles and feigned
contortions of the face, followed with "Wheeeee!" or "Whoopee!" or
"Yaaaaagh!" Whereas on the narrow mountain-road in the out of
control jalopy, the screams are sincerely generated and followed with
a loud tapering-off exclamation, possibly like: "Oh...sh..............!"
Now take prevarication (lying) as another example…that's another
fun and dangerous pursuit more popular with some than others,
which invariably wreaks disastrous results (e.g., shame, a whack on
the head, a poke in the eye, jail time, loss of respect, loss of friends,
destroyed future, etc.). But have you ever secretly wondered what it might be
like to have a "license to lie" ...tell big ol' fat bold-faced mendacities all
day long...say, for just one day, in order to get what you want out of
people, while not risking any damage to your good name or your
Karma. Wouldn't it be great to have that privilege, but to know in
advance that all the lies you told that day would actually turn out be
the God's Honest Truth by the end of the day? Would that be cool,
or what?
Well, let's try a little experiment. Here are some of the wildest lies
imaginable that one could tell in order to acquire, control, sell or
lease real estate. Let's see how many of them could be made to fly
(i.e., actually become the truth at the end of the day) via the use of
the North American Realty Services Equity Holding Trust Transfer
System™ (the NEHTrust™). And remember...none of these
statements have to be true.
As of right now, there's a day long moratorium on honesty…these
assertions are simply what you might say—true or not—in order to
get your way. Accept them as flat-out lies, and ask yourself..."What
other baloney could I spew to get some houses"; or "If this lie were
in-fact told, would it get me what I want?" Also know that your
objective is to acquire that property, or the control of it at any
cost…but with no cost to you. Now, remember, in this role you're
also flat broke and your credit stinks.
For The Landlord Whose Property You Would Like To Control
Mr. Landlord...I saw your 'For Rent' ad (sign), and if I can have the
opportunity to buy the place from you in a few years…
- I'll pay you more than your asking for rent
- I'll pay all your maintenance costs during the rental agreement
- I'll cover all your property tax expense while I rent from you

- I'll completely annihilate all landlording woes and headaches for you—forever
- And, sure, you bet I have all the cash needed for the deal
For the 'For Sale By Owner’
Mr. FSBO. I saw your For Sale by Owner ad (sign), and if you can
stay on the loan a while longer, say for a couple years, and leave
your equity in until then, I'll buy the place from you today for full
value. And not only that, but...
- I'll pay you more for the property than your asking
- I'll even pay more for the property than it's worth
- I'll take over all payment responsibilities without even going on title

- I'll preserve and protect all of your existing equity
- I'll pay all maintenance costs
- I'll pay all property tax expense
- I'll buy the property from you today, but let you keep half of my appreciation and principal reduction over the next 5 years
- I'll buy your house and put you into another one with only minimal up-front cost and no credit check
- I'll buy your house and put you into another one with no down payment
- I'll buy your house and give you a letter than will allow you a 100
percent Debt-to-Income Ratio credit on you next mortgage loan
- I'll arrange it so that you can stay on the loan and give me the
benefits of ownership without a Due-on-Sale Clause violation
- I'll never need to be on your title
- I'll protect your from any liens, suit or creditor judgment that could befall me
- We can close in a week (if the Escrow and documentation process doesn't slow me down)
- I'll cover all back payments; clear up and re-establish your credit with your lender (re. arrearages, back taxes and penalties)
- And, sure I have all the cash needed for the deal
Bold-Faced Lies You Can Tell A Tenant/Buyer To Manipulate Him/Her As Well

OK...now, the day is done and the jig's up (a phrase, the origin of
which I wonder about a lot)! All your big fat lies have to suddenly
become truths now. Well, if you were planning on utilizing the Equity
Holding Trust System (NEHTrust or NEHTrust)…then everything said
above is in-fact all true…plain and simple!
Go back and check it out: every one of these promises is fulfilled
through the NARS Equity Holding Trust Transfer System™ every day.
I'd dare anyone to try to convert ALL the above statements to truths
when using any 'other' creative financing vehicle: lease, option,
purchase option, wrap, contract for deed, equity share, subject-to,
short-sale, etc..
You might want to give this one a lot of thought folks.
