REOs are poison to financial institutions, restricting their ability to lend money on properties and help them to improve their financial situation.  Things have gotten so bad for many of these banks that – even though they’ve gotten a boatload of money from taxpayers – they need to raise cash fast to prevent their collapse.

This is great news for real estate investors who are poised to jump at the chance to snag these properties at fire sale prices.  If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect moment to jump in the game, the time to lace up your shoes has arrived!

Financial institutions need cash and they need it now.  Quiet discomfort over their situation has turned to sheer desperation as the government has gotten increasingly proactive in taking control of any institution they feel is too weak to stand on its own two feet.

Buying an REO property involves making the right moves at the right time.  Now is the time.  In order to avoid having to possibly fork over control of their institutions to the government, lenders are increasingly screaming, “Yes!” to offers they would have rejected with a sneer just a few weeks ago.

Don’t let your lack of knowledge stop you from positioning yourself to retire wealthy beyond your wildest dreams within the next five to seven years.  This is the time seasoned investors have been waiting for, so your time is now.  To learn all the insider tips, tricks, and cutting-edge strategies you need to secure your financial future today, point your browser to www.rewexclub.com and sign up for a $1 trial membership.  If you like it and want to continue for only $97 per month after your trial ends, that’s great.  If not, cancel with no hard feelings.

Real estate investors just getting started have one thing in common: Many times they have the raw knowledge it takes to get started, but they don’t know what series of steps to take today in order to build real, sustainable real estate wealth that will allow them to reach their dreams.

Every investor is different.  Some are conservative in nature and they prefer to take a series of baby steps that will eventually culminate in one or two profitable deals.  Others want to immediately dive into the deep end and fully immerse themselves in real estate investing so they can reach their goals much more quickly.

Regardless of which investor profile best describes you, one single solution can accomplish both goals.  Either way, you’ll reach the success you seek much more quickly, without having to endure the myriad mistakes, pitfalls, and sidetrips that the average investor typically makes on their road to success.

My real estate inner circle, at www.rewexclub.com provides that direct pathway to success.  Imagine being able to look over my shoulder and watch me put together winning deals so you know exactly what goes into profitable deals.  That’s just one of the many shortcuts to success my inner circle members have at their fingertips.

Successful real estate investing isn’t rocket science.  It is knowing what specific series of steps need to be taken – and in what order.  Once you know the steps, you can make them yourself, while you reap the financial rewards available in today’s real estate market.

So how much does this knowledge cost?  How’s $1 sound?  For a buck – the amount you’d expect to spend on something on McDonald’s value menu (or a share of AIG stock) – you can take a 30 day spin around the block.  30 days to put all the available investing tools, tips, and secrets to good use in your own investing life.  If you like it and want to continue, that’s great.  If not, that’s fine, too.

Either way, you owe it to yourself and your future success to see how you can shift your investing career into high gear today.  So head on over to www.rewexclub.com and join my inner circle of dedicated, success-minded investors and stake your claim to success today.

Blessings!

With all of the challenges in today’s world, success as a real estate investor can seem like a faraway dream with little hope of ever coming true.  Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t tasted the thrill of victory yet because it’s never too late to change your course – or your destination.

It starts with making a commitment to your future and undertaking a series of proactive steps to move you in the right direction.  The path to success involves multiple steps:

·         Mental preparation

·         Proper education

·         Support

·         Skilled Coaching

·         Business skills

Can it all seem overwhelming and more than a little daunting to someone who has never stepped out of their comfort zone and tried something new, empowering, and life-changing?  Absolutely.

You need a support system and a plan for reaching your goals.  That’s never been truer than it is today.  At every turn it seems there are barriers to your success that are destined to knock you off track and derail your best-laid plans.

So get the rock-solid education, training, and support you need to succeed.  Your future financial independence depends upon the important decisions you make today.  Get a roadmap for success today at www.rewexclub.com that will lead you to the giant ‘X’ that marks the spot where the first of your real estate riches is buried.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

According to Case-Shiller, the National Home Price Index dropped by an eye-popping 16.6% in the third quarter.  While that’s not exactly cause for celebration, it could be worse.  And if their predictions for 2009 are at all accurate, 2009 isn’t looking to be a banner year either – especially if you’re investing in California.

They’ve released their forecast for next year and 8 of the 10 biggest projected losers are in California.  Here’s the list, along with their best guess for how much more the market is expected to drop:

1.      Los Angeles, CA        -24.9%

2.      Stockton, CA             -24.7%

3.      Riverside, CA            -23.3%

4.      Miami, FL                  -22.8%

5.      Sacramento, CA       -22.2%

6.      Santa Ana, CA          -22.0%

7.      Fresno, CA                -21.6%

8.      San Diego, CA          -21.1%

9.      Bakersfield, CA        -20.9%

10.  Washington, DC      -19.9%

If you’re investing in any of these markets, you can still make money.  Will it be a challenge?  You betcha.  Can it be done?  Absolutely. 

If you don’t want to fight as hard to make money, you might want to jump out of your own back yard for awhile.  I know the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence, but there are markets that look infinitely better right now.

The good news?  You can invest where the numbers make more sense to you.  Where you rest your head every night has never been less important than it is right now.  So take a look around.  There are local real estate markets that have a downright rosy outlook.  Find those markets, do your homework, and invest to your heart’s content.

2009 will be a banner year.  Stake your claim on the kind of future you’ve always dreamed of.  There are millions of dollars just waiting to be made.

The gold rush is well under way.  It’s not too late to grab your share.  All the tools you need for your very own gold mine are available at www.REIconferences.com

Blessings!

You and I seek the motivation to achieve our real estate investing dreams from a variety of sources. It might be the memory of a treasured teacher who made a profound difference in our lives — or it could be a life-changing event that happened years ago.

I was inspired and touched recently by a short video that demonstrated the importance of never giving up. In this challenging real estate investing market, it’s easy to walk away before even getting your feet wet, convinced that phenomenal wealth and rags to riches stories always happen to someone else, somewhere else, at another time.

Somewhere, there’s a single mom raising a couple of kids because her husband checked out of the marriage when the going got tough. There is also a grief stricken man somewhere trying to find the strength to go on without his wife who was snatched suddenly from his life in a tragic accident.

These people manage to find the strength to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives and start living again. Slowly, piece by broken piece, they somehow summon the strength to once again smile, plan for the future, and become more optimistic that their hopes and dreams will become reality — even if their plans were altered by conditions beyond their control.

You’re a real estate investor.

Compared to some of the challenges that millions of others have successfully overcome, figuring out how to come to terms with a motivated seller is inconsequential. To you, however, it’s important. At times like these it’s important that you remember your commitment to continue trying even in the face of adversity.

You’ll hear the word “no” a lot more than you’ll hear the word “yes” — especially when you’re first getting started as a real estate investor. If your hopes and dreams are derailed by verbal opposition to what you’re trying to do, what will you do when you’re faced with a physical challenge — or even a bruised relationship? If you turn tail and run every time things in your life go awry, all anyone will ever see of you is your backside.

To reach your dreams, you have to stop in your tracks, turn, and fight for what you want. While it won’t be handed to you on a silver platter, you can overcome any challenge you face.

If you can’t think of an inspiring reason to dig in your heels and keep trying to succeed as a real estate investor, then check out this short video I saw recently. It’s about a man who loves life, kids, and golf. He’s not a real estate investor, but he does demonstrate the importance of never giving up. You can watch it by following this link to www.wimp.com/trueheart and then tell me how many times you can handle hearing the word “no” before giving up on your real estate investing dreams and walking away empty handed.

I’m guessing there isn’t a number high enough…

Blessings!

Have you been sitting on the sidelines watching other investors play the real estate investing game?  How many good reasons do you need to convince you that now is a great time to get started?

I can give you 2 trillion reasons why NOW is the time for you to quit sitting and start investing.  That’s the amount of homeowner equity that has evaporated so far this year.  This lost equity has resulted in a lot of homeowners being upside down on their mortgages – and looking for a quick exit.

When you factor in an economic crisis of biblical proportions, rampant job losses, and thousands of businesses on the brink of extinction, you have a nation filled with motivated sellers.

It’s true that whenever a homeowner realizes they can’t afford to keep their home, it’s a tragedy.  An even greater tragedy is knowing that the very best you can hope for is a foreclosure and credit damage that’s going to follow you around like a lost puppy for the next seven years – or longer.

This is where a savvy investor can play the part of the hero in a massive homeowner rescue effort.  But what can you do?

You can stand by and do nothing – or you can roll up your sleeves and get to work.

If you’re not sure of what to do, you need to take the first step.  Learn winning strategies for buying some of these properties.  Help homeowners find solutions for their economic problems.  The government is spending money on massive bailouts for big businesses and other entities that are “too big to fail”.  Everyone else is left swinging in the wind.

Are you unsure of the first step – or confused about how to get started?  Don’t sit there and do nothing.  As the saying goes, let your fingers do the walking…to your computer mouse and head on over to www.REIConferences.com.  Let us help you take advantage of the chance to reach your potential as a self-sufficient real estate investing entrepreneur. 

Do it now!

Blessings!

Tomorrow is the day that millions of Americans pull the plug on chasing their dreams – and the almighty dollar – long enough to spend some time with loved ones, reflect on their lives and relationships, and give some thought to all they have to be thankful for.

So what are you thankful for?

Is it a loving spouse you swore you’d stick with through thick and thin, regardless of their flaws, until your dying day? Don’t just expect that they know you’re thankful for their love and support. Make a point to give your spouse a loving embrace and tell them what they mean to you.

Are you thankful for your children? Tell them how much you love, adore, and appreciate them. I believe children are a special blessing from God, and that if we just listen to them, we can better grasp the good that exists in humanity. Whether your children are 3 or 33, embrace them lovingly and express your feelings to them with words, deeds, and gestures. We too frequently get caught up in the moment and we forget what life would be like if they weren’t here to spread their light and their youthful zest for living.

Enjoy the moment – it truly is special.

If you’re mourning the loss of a dear family member or a close friend, weep if you must. But also take the time to be thankful. Be thankful for the life that was, the time you had, and the times you shared. Life is fragile and our time together fleeting, but by remembering the good times you had and expressing your Thanksgiving for the time you had together you can do your part to keep them alive in your heart and your mind.

Be thankful for America and the fact that – for all of her flaws and troubles – this is still the greatest country on the face of the earth.

Above all else, be Thankful tomorrow.

Let that thankfulness spread every day and never forget that there are others with so much less than what we’ve been blessed with.

When you take the time every day to be thankful for what you have, you really can turn the corner from looking at Thanksgiving as a holiday for eating turkey and taking a day off from work.

When you really let Thanksgiving infiltrate every corner of your life, you can take it to the next level.

Your day of Thanksgiving can give way to a life of ThanksLIVING.

Blessings!

The G-20 nations met with President Bush over the weekend trying to collectively solve the global financial crisis.  At this point, nothing much was accomplished, but they’ll be meeting again shortly after Barack Obama becomes President.  In the meantime, it looks like the short-term solution of the day seems to be continuing to throw money at the problem and hoping against hope that all that money will somehow cause the major economies of the world to catch fire.

I’m no economist, and I honestly don’t know if it will work.  But I read an article that got me to thinking about some of the more radical solutions they might decide to implement if all that cash doesn’t catch a friendly spark and a favorable wind that reignites the economy in the meantime.

In 1933, President Roosevelt used the power of his Executive Order pen to simultaneously devalue U.S. currency and confiscate gold.  He then raised the value of gold by about 70% which revalued all financial assets.  It worked back then.  Would a similar idea – implemented on a global basis – work today?

I’m not suggesting they would confiscate gold – and the author of the article wasn’t either. What he was suggesting is that if they were to simply restate the value of gold that it could have the same effect.  By skyrocketing the value of gold, they would basically be raising the value of everything of value – gold, real estate, etc.

Would it work?  I have no idea.  

What I do know is that governments around the world can’t seem to print money or IOU’s fast enough to keep up with demand.  Nothing they’ve tried has worked.  About all they haven’t tried is giving every man, woman, and child in America a check for a million dollars and ask that they please start buying stuff.

Who knows, that may be next.

Like I said, I don’t know if this will work or not.  But it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Until then, invest right and invest smart.  We don’t know what the future holds, but the coming weeks and months promise to be a wild ride.

Blessings!

The impression a lot of people have is that the average real estate investor is a fast-talking con-man (or woman) who specializes in preying on those unfortunate enough to fall on hard times.  As you know, the reality is much different.  These misconceptions are fueled in part by media perceptions and a few bad actors who call themselves real estate investors, but are — in reality — low-lifes who should be serving long stints in the Cross Bar Hotel.  

As an honest and ethical real estate investor who is interested in buying right and doing the right thing — while helping people who NEED to unload their property — I want to share a totally uplifting story I read about a truly special real estate investor. A woman who fell on hard times and lost her home was fortunate enough to run into a real estate investor with a heart.  What this investor did was enough to bring a tear to my eye.  She bought the property at auction and immediately gave it back to the lady who had lost her home.  No strings, just blessings and a great big hug.

As an investor you may not be in the position to be able to do this sort of thing, but by getting in gear now and capitalizing on the unprecedented opportunity you have to make money and build real, sustainable wealth, you still have a chance to do much more than the average person who simply shrugs their shoulders and switches the channel. You can take care of your future, but you can also do some good for other people.

Obviously, the choice is yours.  

You can pocket all of your profits if you like. But, I recommend you do some good for others.  Your contribution can be a series of small, quiet contributions to charities that you believe in, or a loud, in-your-face gift that will make others praise your name.

The choice is yours.Secure your future by building real, sustainable wealth. But don’t forget to give something back.  

Make no mistake about it.  Real estate investing riches are great.  

Even better is the undeniably electric feeling you get by making a real difference in somebody else’s life.  The beauty of this concept is you’re in charge of your destiny, but you can also play a vital role in improving the lives and the outlook of others as well.

When you do that, you truly understand the concept of being wealthy.

Blessings!
