Real Estate Market Trends

I know we always hear that “THIS” is the best real estate market in HISTORY to invest in! (We heard in 2000, we heard it in 2003, in 2007, and even now in 2011). Yet, the real estate cycle has looked somewhat like a heart monitor in the emergency room!

So, what’s the real answer?

IS IT a good time to invest, and SHOULD you get started now in, arguably, the worst economy since the Great Depression?

The answer is YES!

And I’m not going off of any media reports or exhaustive expert research. I’m going off of what real people are thinking and doing.

For example, I’ve had 3 friends contact me from all across the country (Nevada, Texas, Virginia, and Florida) asking for some advice about investing now.

These are people that are SUCCESSFUL business owners and savvy with finances. They’re NOT real estate investors, but they ARE looking at the opportunities that are out there.

THIS is the time to get in… (Before the media jumps on the bandwagon. Before the experts reveal the market’s taking off. It’s when the “real people” are starting to get in the game). And you can too!

Why do I share this with you?

Because when my personal friends call me and ask for advice, I share with them the same fundamental process and system. It’s this exact system…

I’m not giving them a strategy to make $11 Million dollars in the next 7 days… I’m not giving them advice on how to “beat the system”.

It comes down to the fundamentals… But too many investors have lost sight of them which is why they’re losing their shirts or have never gotten off the ground in the first place. Well, you don’t have to!

If you’re FINALLY ready to make real estate work, THIS is the complete roadmap… It’s the same information I paid $3997 for in 2003. And it’s the same stuff that’s worked for decades all across the country.

By the way, people have asked me what training I took when I started?

Here’s the truth. I took a Robert Allen class offered by a training company. I went on to IMPLEMENT, and then to teach that same training alongside my own instructors. And here’s your chance to get your hands on the SAME information. SO, it all comes down to this:

The RIGHT System + Focused Action!

5 Reasons to Invest in Probate Property

Probate real estate is one of the most untapped – and profitable – real estate investing niches out there today.

Most investors never consider probate because they either don’t know the niche is out there OR they simply misunderstand it. What this means for you is that there’s a goldmine of opportunity… and the opportunity to serve a market that’s largely underserved.

  1. No competition
    Unlike many of the other markets, there’s VERY little competition with probate investing. Sure, there may be a few other investors talking to the same owners, but NOTHING like some of the other markets. PLUS… with this niche, it PAYS to be nice (you can eliminate your cut-throat competition just by being genuine).
  2. Works in every market.
    Buyers market… Sellers market… it doesn’t matter! There are always going to be probate deals. People always pass away and estates always need to be probated…
  3. Handsome paydays.
    My average paydays are well into 5-figures. And that’s just for WHOLESALE deals. I’ve made as much as $32,000 from a single wholesale deal on a $92,000 property.
  4. Help (I mean REALLY help) people that need you!
    If you’re a little bit of a “softer” personality, this is THE niche for you. You get the chance to really help people that need you. It’s not always about the money. And I can tell you that some of my MOST rewarding closings have been probate deals where the seller looks up and me and from the bottom of their heart, they say “thank you. I can finally move on”.
  5. Multiple streams of income
    There are many other ways to make money with probate JUST in doing what you’re already doing. A few hundred dollars here and several thousand there. Smart investors know that the key to success is leverage. And probate gives you that opportunity.

Foreclosure Investing: Persistence Pays Off

We’re currently working on a short sale for a property on which the owner hasn’t made a payment since February of 2008. (Yes, the banks CAN take that long to foreclose!).

There had been a few offers along the way, but they were either refused by the lender or the Realtor® she was using didn’t know what to do in order to get the deal closed. In addition, the lender is AHMSI, who is difficult to say the least.

Offers came and went because the bank simply didn’t respond. When we finally got involved, we moved right up the chain of command, contacted the Attorney General for the State of Florida and a few other agencies. Amazingly enough, we got a reply within a few days. Continue reading

5 Steps to Absentee Owner Marketing Profits

The truth of the matter is that working with absentee owners is one of the easiest markets in real estate.

There are essentially only 5 steps you need to take to be successful with absentee owner marketing:

1. Determine Your Absentee Owner Lead Source.
There are a number of places that you can find absentee owner leads. Ultimately, the success of your campaign comes down to finding accurate leads and the right type of leads. In other words, you don’t want data that’s 2 years old. It needs to be up to date and current within the last 3-6 months. Continue reading

Why Absentee Owner Marketing?

There are 5 reasons NOW is the time to really look at absentee owners as your primary method of finding sellers – with equity.

But before we get into the reasons why absentee owners are a great market right now, it’s important for us to define absentee owners in the manner in which WE discuss it for purposes of this article and in our Absentee Owner Marketing training.

For our purposes, when we refer to “absentee owners”, we’ll be referring to owners of real property whose mailing address is 50 miles or farther away from the subject property.

Let’s look at the top 5 reasons absentee owner marketing is ripe for the picking RIGHT NOW. Continue reading

Getting Started In Real Estate Investing

Real estate investing is really simple if you simply follow the basics. The problem is that we have the tendency to complicate things more than they really need to be AND that we over-think things too much. We get “too much” specialized knowledge that it begins to cripple us from ever getting started in real estate investing.

When I started out in the business, I made a commitment that I had to implement at least one thing from any home study course I purchased, event I attended, or book that I read before I could buy something else.

You see, we all tend to keep looking for the “magic pill” to riches in real estate and no such thing exists. You need to actually take action and apply the specialized knowledge that you are getting — not simply go from strategy to strategy, never actually implementing anything.

In addition, when you take this piece meal approach to getting started in real estate investing, you often get contradictory information, which makes you start to question if a strategy will work. Continue reading

Firefox for Real Estate

You’re probably already familiar with browsers like Internet Explorer or Netscape… or even the built in browser in AOL if you use AOL.

But, you may have never even heard of “FireFox”. It’s a great organizational tool for your business in that it’s a browser that uses a tab system (similar to the new Internet Explorer interface).

Save different tab sets for different purposes. For instance, if you regularly research a handful of websites for new properties for sale, you might have one tab set entitled “Finding Properties”. Then, let’s suppose you follow several educational blogs (like Continue reading
