How a Reality Check Made Me Over $100,000

No Comments »

In today’s post, Julie Broad of RevNYou tells us how a reality check has made her over $100,000 . . .

The best real estate investors can spot opportunities where others just see problems. They can see past bad décor and overgrown yards. They see trends emerging and can get ahead of them to make money before most people realize the trend is here.

Sometimes experienced real estate investors miss really obvious opportunities.

I know, because I almost missed out on a deal that’s made us $100,000 and counting!

I’m talking about a little house that looked more like a tool shed than a dwelling. It’s just a 600 square foot wood structure that sits on a concrete slab - there’s no basement and no garage.

When my husband took me to see the property, I had visions of constant repairs and never-ending tenant troubles. I really couldn’t imagine living there and figured it was a waste of time to even think about buying it.

But my husband told me to do a reality check - because there were a lot of reasons to like the deal. That area, and specifically within a block of this property, is being totally redeveloped with mixed use properties. We were going to be able to pick the property up without using any of our money, and it was one of the cheapest properties we’d ever seen listed in the City.

Ron Mead 31 Days to Profits in Probate Real Estate Course Review

No Comments »

After checking out Ron Mead’s “31 Days to Profits in Probate Real Estate” Course . . . I HAD to let you in on it ASAP! (I even shot a quick little video below to show it to you)

It’s not often that a real estate investing course impresses me and I would go so far to say that it’s extremely rare when the “man behind the course” impresses me too. And that’s the case with Ron and his probate real estate course.

You see, I’ve been a full time real estate investor since 2002 and have bought countless courses and books and attended countless seminars and boot camps (you could say that I’m a big proponent to investing in your education . . . being that I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars to get mine).

Anyway, back to the subject at hand . . . which is Ron’s probate real estate course.

Probate has always been shrouded with mystery to me. I’ve never known a probate real estate investor and haven’t had a good source of reliable information . . . BUT it’s always been on my mind as a potentially killer way to find great deals.

“Do You Know Any Probate Real Estate Investors?”

Hmmmm . . . I don’t either . . . until now. That makes a big whopping one!

Do you smell the opportunity here . . . I sure do!

How to Get Private Money at Your REIA Meetings

No Comments »

I recently shot a new video to help answer a question from one of our private money blueprint students. The video is over at our private money members site but is in the free section for right now. Check it out …

_________________________________

Got a question from one of our private money students recently and wanted to share it with you …

Great question, Gene …

At my local REIA (real estate investment association) meeting, the group leader always asks if anyone has a deal they want to pass by the group … what a GREAT opportunity to present your deal to potential private money prospects.

For those of you that don’t already know, I’ve turned tons of people that I’ve met at my local REIA group into my private money lenders … even ones that are active investors themselves.

How to Close Your First Real Estate Investing Deal

No Comments »

What if I told you there was an easy path to getting your first deal done but that most investors ignore it and choose to do things their way. If I explained in plain English what that path was and it made sense to you, wouldn’t you take it?

I know I would . . . I’m just glad that my mentor “enlightened” me before I wasted tons of time, energy, resources.

Well, lean in because I’d like to share what I consider to be extremely important information. BECAUSE if you focus on the wrong techniques and strategies when getting started, you may end up frustrating yourself right out of the game . . . which is not what you want or deserve.

The idea for the video below came together because I see soooo many beginning real estate investors taking what I consider to be the longer riskier more difficult path to closing their first deal . . . and you know what, it’s doesn’t have to be that way.

Check out the video now to learn how to grab your investing career by the horns and get that first deal in the bag.
