Do I Have to Wear All These Hats?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

4 Comments »

Real_Estate_Investing_OutsourcingIn today’s post, David “The Diamond” Oswald shares how to outsource effectively (aka pass out the hats) as a real estate investor …

Do you remember when you started your real estate business, determined that you were not going to work for someone else anymore? What were you looking for?

… the freedom to be your own boss, deciding when and how much you were going to work and getting to keep all the profits?

If you’re like most budding real estate entrepreneurs, you found that the reality is very different. Instead of being stuck at the desk of another company, you find you’re chained to your own desk, often working late into the night in order to get everything done.

Did you ever realize how many hats you would have to wear as a real estate investor?

All the job functions required to run a successful REI business are funneled into one person – you – as you try and become an excellent accountant, marketer, attorney, property researcher, website designer, and, oh yes, a person who actually buys and sells property!

So, what do you do?

Figure out which job functions you either don’t like to do or aren’t good at … and pass out the hats! AKA learn how to outsource effectively. That’s how you’ll gain your life back. That’s how you’ll gain the freedom you seek.

But to learn how to outsource effectively, first you must get control of your time.

Here’s a great way to get started: Keep a log of where your time goes. Write down everything that you do (even the little things) and the time that it takes you to complete the task. Pay particularly close attention to the tasks that you feel drain your time and energy. Commit to doing this now.

After keeping your log for a week, sit down and review your results. Knowing how you spend your time is part of gaining control of your time. And once you’re in control, it’s time to outsource.

You may be pursuing your passion in real estate investing, but I doubt your passionate wearing every “hat” in your REI business. And fortunately for you, you don’t have to when you learn how to outsource effectively.

How to Profit from the Commercial Real Estate Crash

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Commercial_Real_Estate_Crash

(free commercial funding resource at bottom of article … make sure you grab it!)

As you know, the residential real estate market took it’s big hit starting (depending on the market) in 2006… and got hit hard in 2007 and 2008.

But for those of you who study economic trends like me, the residential market is only one part of the overall economy… and other markets followed suit … including the

(drum roll please)

… COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET!

So, at the end of 2008 and into 2009 the commercial market has started to really see some *big time* hits and in a lot of areas the commercial market and commercial lending is having a “crash” of it’s own.

What this means to you and me?

Well, a few things:

1. Loan defaults are piling up in the commercial market now, meaning there’s great buys in commercial for those who have cash (or for those who know how to get private money)

2. People who have cash (hedge funds, rich people, or everyday normal people who just have $ sitting around) are either buying properties, lending their money on low LTV commercial deals, etc.

3. Traditional banks aren’t touching loans for most commercial deals or business type loans anymore (meaning a big credit crunch)

So, the opportunity this creates is…

= > There are a lot of commercial loans in default and a lot of people looking for great deals

= > A lot of legitimate borrowers are “blocked” out of the market and can’t get funding for their great deals or business growth capital.

= > People who know where the money is can match up the funders with the people who need the money… and you can collect a “finders fee” for hooking them up.

Check out this quick video below to learn more.
