How to Drain the Risk from Your Real Estate Deals

Friday, September 18th, 2009

No Comments »

Real Estate Investing Risk

In today’s post, Julie Broad of RevNYou tells us how to drain the risk from our real estate deals … (if you missed it earlier this week, make sure to check out the video review I did of Julie’s Real Estate Millionaire: The Essential Starter Course)

Real estate investing can be risky. We’ve all heard the stories of the losses, the bankruptcies and the stress caused by real estate investing missteps.

As a savvy real estate investor, you should always be looking for ways to drain the risk from your deals. And the real big risks arise when you buy a property that nobody wants to live in.

Empty units can suck the profit from a property in a single month, and consecutive months of vacancies can sink you. And, if you’ve bought a place that nobody wants to rent from you, you’ll probably have a hard time selling it too!

So – how do you drain the risk from your deal and buy a property people are sure to want to live in? Instead of chasing the hottest deals …

Real Estate Millionaire: The Essential Starter Course Review

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

No Comments »

If you’ve been a regular reader at MustKnowInvesting over the past year, you’ve surely seen one of the guest articles contributed by Julie Broad of RevNYou …

She’s been a regular contributor and even taught a 100% content teleconference call with us several months ago. As long as you were signed on to my list, you got the invite to hear Julie and her husband Dave’s 5 step anybody-can-do-it real estate investing process. And they also shared a little bit about their story … about how they’ve built a multi million dollar real estate investment portfolio in just a few years.

Here’s what their 5 step real estate investing process looks like …

RevNYou Real Estate Investing  Process

Pretty simple ehhh?

Well, Julie and Dave have a course that they’ve put together based on this process … actually … before I get to that …

One of the things I LOVE about Julie and Dave is that they are regular everyday down to Earth people. They’re straight shooters that don’t support the “get rich quick” mentality or methods that some of the “gurus” teach. They don’t hype up real estate to be something that it’s not.

… and in my book … that means a lot!

I asked Julie to mail me a copy of their home study course so that I could review it for you guys …

How a Reality Check Made Me Over $100,000

Monday, June 29th, 2009

No Comments »

Reality Check Real EstateIn 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.

How to Find the 6 Hidden Real Estate Bargains

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

5 Comments »

Real Estate Investing BargainsIn today’s post, Julie Broad of RevNYou is going to discuss how to find the hidden deals that you may otherwise be overlooking . . .

The next time you’re looking up at the clouds in the sky ask someone around you what shapes they think they see. I’m pretty sure they will see something different from what you see. But, once they explain why they think the clouds have formed a shape like a little bunny rabbit or a cup of steaming hot coffee, I bet you will be able to see it too.

“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend”, said Henri Bergson, a French philosopher. The same can be said for finding hidden bargains in real estate. While many would-be real estate investors spend a lot of time chasing foreclosures or wholesale deals, the easiest deals may be passing them by because they aren’t watching for the hidden deals – the hidden deals that become so obvious when your mind is prepared to see them.

I’m not saying you can’t find great foreclosure deals or good wholesale deals. One of our best purchases was a foreclosure – but we didn’t set out to find a foreclosure – we were just looking for a good deal.
