Part I of 9 (9 Ways to Find Buyers In Today’s Market)
In this series, we cover 9 effective ways to find buyers in TODAY’S Market.

Alright! I know you’ve heard about these little signs before! Some people hate them and other people swear by them! But, opinion doesn’t matter…. THEY WORK. PERIOD.

Unfortunately, most people only use bandit signs to find motivated sellers and neglect this inexpensive little tool entirely when it comes to finding buyers. I can tell you that we personally sell more than 35% of all of our properties on bandit signs alone. We actually use them about 75% of the time to fill our rental vacancies.

There are some substantial benefits that bandit signs offer including: Continue reading →

Real Estate Outsourcing: Is This Why You're Not Successful?

2 Replies

Last week, I was on a coaching call with one of our students… and the light bulb went off in my head. It was that “ah ha” moment. I finally really understood one of the 3 main reasons people are not successful in real estate: Not Taking Action. Truth is, it’s a huge cause for failure in lots of ‘biz opp’ strategies.

It’s what I’ve since defined as the “outsourcing virus”.

This student wanted to know what he could do to get money coming in NOW.

Here’s what got me thinking… and why so many people are struggling in their businesses.

The student I was talking to had invested tens of thousands of dollars in real estate courses, seminars, and systems. Yet, he was still struggling. (Do you know anyone like that?) Continue reading →

Landlord Protection: Does it Exist?

Leave a reply

Is there any wonder that there are so many tired landlords out there? Dealing with tenants can be frustrating, time consuming, and costly…

Certainly, the majority of tenants are relatively “good” (but remember… they ARE renting and don’t have the same pride of ownership that owners have). Even so, there are a few really bad apples that can cause substantial damage to your properties and cause you a lot of unnecessary frustration.

The only real landlord protection is being proactive and not giving ANY wiggle room at any time. You will hear sob stories. You will be called names. Your tenants may even threaten to sue you (yes, they usually don’t have a single leg to stand on, but they will still threaten!).

When you’re a landlord, you’re ALWAYS the “defendant”!

However, there are a few CRITICAL THINGS that you can do to protect yourself as a landlord. Continue reading →

Don’t Forget to Look Back Up At the Mountain

Leave a reply

I remember a conversation I had a student and very dear friend of mine. He was someone that I met as a result of real estate and is a constant reminder as to why I continue to build my businesses. (To this day, 99% of my closest friends are people that I’ve met at seminars and events).

But before I take a moment to tell you what the title of this audio newsletter means, I want to take a minute and reflect on some of the people that have been important people in my life as I got up and running and while I continue to run the course with frequent dips and turns!

In a special report I wrote several years ago entitled “7 Critical Success Tips Continue reading →

2010 Real Estate Investing Predictions

1 Reply

It’s been a year of mixed reviews for many people! Certainly, there were highlights, but many folks are happy to see 2009 ushered out and welcome 2010!
With the New Year – and new decade – there are going to be lots of changes to come in real estate investing, online marketing, information marketing, and business in general.

I know that lots of people are posting their thoughts, predictions, and opinions for the coming year! Here are just a few of my predictions for real estate industry – specifically for investors.

  1. Property Values Will Stabilize.
    We’re not going to see a huge change in property values this year. Many of the markets have bottomed out, or are close thereto. However, there is a lot of inventory that has yet to hit the market before we can start to see an increase in value. This will make it easier to evaluate properties and determine the after repair values as there’s less decline to calculate. However, there are still Continue reading →

Real Estate Blog

Do you need a blog for real estate?

The simple answer is: Yes!

It’s not often that an answer in real estate is a definitive YES! But in this case… it’s cut and dry… it’s simple.

When I got started marketing properties online, there was no such “tool”. It was cumbersome, time consuming and mildly effective at best. But, with blogs, it’s become so simple to get up and running FAST.

Here are a few pointers to get you going with your own RE blog fast:

  • Buy a domain name (www.YourDomainName.com)
    You can do this at GoDaddy.com and or 1and1.com.
  • Set up a hosting account that has “cpanel with fantastico”
    Any hosting company should know what you’re talking a Continue reading →
