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.   

Pick up the right tools for the job and ride the rail of success.  Change your life today!

While it’s impossible to assess this early in the year exactly what the markets will do, you can still move yourself closer to your eventual goal of overwhelming financial success by focusing on a few strategies that are a good fit based on current market conditions.  Then, if conditions suddenly change, you can quickly shift gears on the fly and refocus your investing energies in a way designed to maximize your profit potential.

Now isn’t the time to indiscriminately buy property without knowing ahead of time what you’re getting into.  The days of blindly buying property without a plan, a focus, or a goal are gone for the foreseeable future.  Investors that violate this common-sense principle are commonly referred to by another term: Broke – or if you prefer – destitute.

Three winning real estate investing strategies for 2009 are in the exciting areas of wholesaling, foreclosures, and shortsales.  The reason for this is simple.  Millions of people are stuck in bad loans, dire financial circumstances, or are staring at the possibility that they could be laid off or see their jobs shifted overseas.  This means that lots of people are screaming out for help – the kind of help you can give them now to help them avoid lasting credit damage or the potential for bankruptcy.

If you’re running a little short in the knowledge department in these three techniques, then you really need to make the early part of 2009 all about you – your hopes, your dreams, and your education.  Getting a handle on your hopes and dreams will focus your energies in the right areas and will motivate you to take the proactive steps necessary to achieve them.  Then you’ll have the incentive to get serious about learning how – how to do a short sale, how to buy a foreclosure, and how to make big bucks wholesaling real estate.

Where you live doesn’t matter, as long as you can log onto the Internet and you have access to a telephone.  You can capitalize on all three of these winning real estate investing strategies for 2009 and you can do it from the comfort and convenience of your own home – and you can do it virtually.  So stake your claim to the untold millions of dollars in real estate profits just waiting to be picked up by investors with the know-how and the skills to get it done.  Don’t know how?  We’ve got you covered.  Just go to www.REIconferences.com and we’ll take care of the rest.  Make 2009 a watershed year for you and your success.  Do it now.

Blessings!

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!

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!

Last week we made history in this nation by proving that hard work, an indomitable spirit, and a few lucky breaks along the way make it possible for any of us to achieve our dreams. So what can we all learn from the Obama campaign model – and how can you put a micro-version of this to work in your investing life?

• Don’t be afraid to try new ideas even if everyone you know thinks you’ll fail – Friends and family will tell you that real estate investing is a bad idea, that millions of people are staring at foreclosure right now, and that only a fool would jump into a market that is bruised, bleeding, and holding on for dear life.  Only a fool would buy real estate when prices are at the top – because there’s only one direction they can go.  Hint: It’s not up.

• Believe in yourself regardless of what the pundits think – A strong belief in yourself can help you overcome any adversity you might face.  Lack of money, credit, knowledge – these are all challenges you can overcome.  Believe in yourself and find a way.

• Surround yourself with smart people who believe in you – You recognize that you don’t know everything.  Instead of lamenting this for 40 years and treading water, find someone who knows what you don’t.  Tap into their expertise and move forward.  

Congratulate Barack Obama on his historic achievement regardless of your political viewpoint.  Use his election as an incentive to challenge your own preconceived notions of what is possible.  When success in real estate seems like a mere pipe dream, reach down deep within yourself and keep pushing forward with a mantra for success, “Yes, you can!”

Yes you can.

Blessings!

On Monday the U.S. House of Representatives rejected what was termed a Wall Street “bailout”.  Two days later, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a “rescue” plan.  Was the difference a new word or a few billion barrels of pork that lawmakers added to the bill to make it more pleasing to nervous Senators?

I can honestly say I don’t know.  I’m just glad I didn’t have to make the decision.  What I do know, though, is that there are no easy answers and $700 billion is 2.8 million houses at a quarter of a million apiece.  Or 5.6 million if you can get 50% short sales

Really, though, a bailout sounds worse than a rescue.  Rescuing somebody just sounds better — especially when your wallet stands to be the life jacket being used.  You feel more heroic, and I think that was the goal.  Because words mean things.

Take real estate investing for instance.

When you’re negotiating with a seller, the difference between a deal and an unfulfilled dream could be what you say — and it might be how you say it.  Success in real estate investing comes down to the art of negotiation.  You may be faced with dealing bad news to the one you’re negotiating with.  You may not be able to give the seller what they want, but find  a way to turn it around.  Be diplomatic, which is the art of telling someone where they can go so artfully that they actually look forward to the trip.

So take it from your government:  Choose your words wisely, find out what the other party needs, and figure out how you can give them what they need — even if they don’t know what it is.

Then you have a win-win transaction.

And nobody gets stuck with a debt that can’t be repaid.

Happy Investing!

I read an interesting article the other day that said that recent college grads are having trouble finding the type of employment they’re looking for, and that the ones having the most success are those that utilize their school’s job placement office.  It went on to say that students and graduates seeking help are two or three times more likely to find the job they’re looking for.

Is your real estate investing career going nowhere fast?  If it is, or you’re not seeing the results you want and need as quickly as you had hoped, you might want to follow the wisdom of job placement officers.  If your base of knowledge is limited and your confidence is lagging, tap into a resource that can get you out of the ocean of doubt you find yourself languishing in.

REI Conferences has the training, the knowledge, and the tools you need to get you swimming in a pool of cash.  Whether you need information about how to find good deals or where to go for research on new markets, we can help. 

Every real estate investor wants to be a player that can build a fat investing portfolio and a good coach can bring out the best in you.  Learn what you can and turn to REI Conferences for answers to all of your most pressing questions.
