How to Make Money with Commercial Real Estate

2008-07-12T07:35:00.000-07:00

When: July 13, 2008 - 6:30 pm
Where: Los Angeles Airport Hilton, 5711 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90045
Where2: Riverside Marriott, 3400 Market Street, Riverside, CA 92501
Cost: Free
Web: Register

Very short notice here.

Presented by the Institute of Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate is richer than single-family housing. You can make more money. Get faster appreciation. And avoid today's residential real estate down cycle.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BEATS RESIDENTIAL

Easier and cheaper to manage. Fact is, commercial tenants pay insurance, taxes, maintenance, and utilities.
Better tenants: Many commercial tenants will make tens of thousands of dollars in improvements to your property without batting an eyelash or asking you for a dime. Find out who they are.
Longer leases: Businesses have a vested interest in keeping their business address. Why find a tenant for 12 months, when you can get one for 12 years or longer — with less effort.
Less money down and cheaper loans: See how commercial real estate can be more affordable than residential.

There are all kinds of commercial properties: offices, retail, industrial, recreational, agricultural, and more.

The Paper Game

2008-07-01T12:08:00.000-07:00

When: July 21-25th 2008
Where: Provo, Utah
Cost: $2000

NOTE: This is not, strictly, a real estate seminar. This is real estate related because it involves the creation, buying, and selling of notes based on real estate. As a real estate technique, you can create a second on a property that you own and sell it to recover some of the down payment that you spent. It also gets you cash from if you have to sell a property with a carry back.

What is it?

This seminar is the most advanced "Paper" seminar that has ever been taught. This isn't a be a "bird-dog" seminar teaching people to broker notes. This seminar teaches you how to buy, sell, trade, create, finance, refinance, and improve notes. There is not another seminar the same or even.... close. Most other seminars out there teach people just to bird dog notes. Students pay thousands and come out not hardly even knowing what a note is. This advanced seminar will teach you how to find, fund and purchase notes for your own portfolio. How to trade notes for real estate. How to improve notes. How to create notes to facilitate real estate transactions. This is paper as a career and retirement, not a low paid brokerage job as others teach.

Who is John D. Behle?

You might not have heard of John Behle. That's simple. You hear about the wild promoters spending hundreds of thousands, even millions to proclaim to the world that they are wonderful but....... You don't always hear about those quietly making millions DOING IT. I've turned down infomercials from long before Carleton Sheets had ever heard of them. I don't want to be a part of that group and have never wanted to be a full time promoter. I enjoy the business too much to spend my life selling it and I don't like the atmosphere and antics of some of the promoters. I won't lie or stretch the truth to sell a course. I won't take someone's last dime. I won't sell my course to someone who has no capability of putting it to good use. And... the prices people charge are ridiculous.

What do you get?

First let me explain something quite important. I teach material very different than anyone else. Most note educators teach how to broker notes. They leave important information on due-diligence, funding notes and creative ways to profit out. Most actually DO NOT KNOW what I'll teach you. They grew up as little note brokers and became bigger note brokers. They believe the measure of success is how many notes you broker. I believe it is how big your bank account is.

I teach how to invest in notes. How you can be an investor and funding source RIGHT NOW. How to make just as much profit on a day to day basis as a note broker with the long term profits of a note funder. That is if a note funder truly knew how to profit. Most don't. They clip coupons and have no idea what they have in their hands. They have the goose that lays golden eggs and they are collecting the feathers. Few could ever tell you the techniques you will learn from me. In fact, you will be many steps ahead of them and can end up buying notes from them and profiting or if you find one that is open minded, you might be able to teach him about golden eggs and profit together.

You will learn over 117 different techniques to profit with notes. You will learn how to fund notes. How to buy them with none of your own cash, yet own them, collect monthly profits and long term future profits. You will learn how to achieve incredible yields through short term windfall profits. You will learn how to buy a note with an acceptable yield and push it up to an incredible yield. All with none of your own money required.

Five full days of instruction - and some night events.
No holdback. I will share what to me have been restricted techniques. Things I have never shared or with very, very few. (These are techniques no other seminar promoter knows. Actually some wouldn't even get it if I tried. I had lunch with one educator (now passed) and it went way over his head)
Five hundred pages of valuable materials. No fluff. My material has always been "read a line, think a page". I don't do white space, filler forms, etc.
28 hours of video instruction to prepare you. This is intense material you will review over and over and over.
90 days follow up with John D. Behle by phone, fax, email, text messaging, etc. Personal help with goals and deals. My personal cell phone number (my watch). A priority email that bypasses everything else. Messaging to my cell phone as well as instant messaging to my computer.
Free note listing and marketplace for buyers and sellers. No fees to join, no restrictions free to all students and funding sources. A link to past, present and future students.
Ongoing weekly newsletter with valuable insights.

2 Day Short Sale Seminar

2008-06-23T14:41:00.000-07:00

When: July 19th and 20th, 2008
Where: Woodbridge, NJ
Cost: $997

This is a 2 day seminar.

Day 1

On the First Day, David Oswald and 4 other guest speakers and members of his team will be discussing everything you need to know to get started in the business of short sales. In addition, there will be topics discussed such as how to get your buyers the money they need through financing (using hard money and other programs), negotiating your deals the RIGHT WAY, strategies to influence the BPO and all the new information needed to keep up in the world of short sales.

Also on day one of the event, Oswald will go into how to find the properties that need a short sale, how to control them with as little as five dollars out of your pocket, the financing and exit strategies needed to succeed, how to find motivated sellers and how to create a POWER short sale team.

Day 2

On Day 2, David Oswald will be hosting a class which complements the first day and will concentrate on the art of communicating with everyone in the short sale process. This class is THE MISSING LINK for most people out there who just can't get over the hump of closing a short sale deal. You see, many of the students who get into the business of becoming short sale and foreclosure investors find that one roadblock in particular continually seems to stretch them....and that roadblock is dealing with all the parties involved in any transaction. And not only dealing with them but also having them see your situation for what it is and agreeing that your solution is the right one.

That's why this is an art. An art that you MUST LEARN. How you present a situation will determine as to whether or not it happens. Do you believe that? If not, you should. Questions like, how can you tell if they are really motivated or just pulling your chain? When should I go out to the house and when should I just handle an issue over the phone? The biggest one I get is "How should I answer that question?" This might be in response to a spouse who has said that he or she needs to talk to his or her significant other before moving forward. Or how do you respond to a question that you really don't know the answer to without stopping the forward progress of a phone call or a closing? Or better yet, what if there is a question that really does not have a ‘yes' or ‘no' answer to it. How do you respond to that and still get it going FORWARD. Not at pause, not at "let me get back to you" but FORWARD.

RealShare TIC Fact or Fiction

When: June 3, 2008
Where: Irvine, California
Cost: $695 for the first person, $495 for each additional person
Website: Real Share TIC

Real Estate Media is proud to bring back for the 3rd consecutive year the Tenant In Common industry’s leading independent conference, RealShare TIC.

There are more questions than answers surrounding the Tenant In Common market. What does 2008 have in store for the industry? Has the growth stopped or this just a temporary slowdown due to the state of the broader real estate market? How are sponsors financing their deals given the credit crunch? TIC industry participants discuss and debate the latest issues and trends affecting their business. Also, a discussion of the possible exemption from the Securities and Exchange Commission that, if approved, could allow commercial real estate brokers to be compensated for advising clients investing in securitized TIC deals will take place . What opportunities does the exemption pose for both commercial real estate brokers and those already involved in the TIC business (sponsors, broker-dealers and registered reps)? How will the real estate and securities worlds work together? What will the exemption mean for the TIC industry more broadly--will it be a source of new investors and equity for the TIC business that wouldn't otherwise have considered TIC deals?

Find out the answers to these questions and many more at RealShare TIC June 3rd at the Hyatt Regency Irvine.

Get an overview from investor JD Morris with his Realtor in Hawaii Max Bancrof -- who have both worked extensively in this area of real estate ownership. Find out if this type of property ownership could be for you.

Rick Otton

Recently, Rick shared his latest top secret positive cash flow strategy live at his sold-out one day event and the attendees were amazed by this powerful plan where you can positively gear and at the same time add value for your buyer.

What he showed is the exact same step-by-step system he shared at his one-day event that will give you all the benefits of investing in real estate... but WITHOUT the major hurdles that stop many of you from starting.

Whether you're new to property investing, a seasoned pro or somewhere in the middle, Rick shows you how to make positive cash flow in today's market with the added benefit of helping regular Aussies get a fair go.

Here’s a tiny peek at what Rick will cover...

3 pieces of paper, it's all you need to buy, sell or control property on a lease option.
The real world reason why vendors want buyers to complete their lease option... (this answer may surprise you but Rick has found it to be consistently true)
Exactly what type of property is perfect for a lease option (if you don't know this you could cost yourself thousands of dollars. But I answer it in easy to understand detail).
What options, lease options, sandwich options really are and how you can use them to create thousands of dollars a month positive cash flow.
The 6 amazing benefits when you sell on a lease option... (You'll make money a couple of
different ways and you'll spend hardly any of your own cash at all!)
How you buy an investment property for thousands of dollars below market value (this is so amazing, yet so simple, you'll probably beat yourself up for all the money you've lost over the years by NOT knowing this inside information)
Plus much, much more...

Andrew & Daryl Grant

This amazing couple are what we call "underground" marketers - silently making
a fortune from home without any publicity or fanfare. For this event we've been
lucky enough to coax them out in order to reveal to our audience only what it is they do.

Previously they ran a consulting business till they realised they were working 7 days a week instead of living a "life." In their first year using their incredible new business secret (which they knew nothing about until they tried it), they turned over US$250,000 from home - and have now retired from consulting completely.

So far this year they are earning on average US$844 per day passive income (can you imagine earning this EVERY day?) - mostly while they sleep. Now they spend most of their time taking it easy with their children in a new waterfront Gold Coast high-rise apartment.

Here’s a tiny peek at what Andrew & Daryl will cover...

Step-by-step how they make money while they sleep
How they GUARANTEE each project is going to be a winner before they event
start (and yes, before they invest any big $$)
How they can keep producing and increasing this income over and over - without it eating up their precious time
How they do this with NO staff ... WITHOUT taking any orders ... WITHOUT
warehousing any products ... and WITHOUT talking to any customers
How you can do exactly the same
Plus much, much more...

The best areas in Australia to find cashflow positive properties with capital growth potential.
How to buy rate-default properties at a huge discount – some at 70% discount.
Why multi-unit dwellings are great cash-cows (Dymphna will show an actual example of how she achieved a $29,000 a year net-cashflow positive from a block of 5 units.)
How Dymphna achieves equity in properties even before she settles by putting a simple but critical sentence in the contract.
The exact time you should visit your accountant and start your own private military assault on your taxes.

How to make yourself a business and get legitimate tax reductions on your living expenses.
The proven “Rich People Only Formula” that makes sure that you only pay 30% tax on whatever is left (well guess what, once you discover the “do it yourself” way to slash taxes you’ll have a ball at making sure there’s none left)!
Never again waste another minute worrying about losing your house, bank account, investments, business, etc to an unethical lawsuit.
See greedy, hostile litigation attorneys stop salivating and turn pale when you explain to them your asset protection structure.
Barricade your assets with an impenetrable fortress where they are creditor proof, lawsuit proof and judgment proof forever.

You learn Dymphna’s tailored asset protection secrets that are tested, proven legal tools. These tools are the most successful and thoroughly explained in plain English.
Plus much, much more...

This session and the knowledge you’ll get out of it may be the most important steps you’ll ever take in planning for you and your family’s future. I can’t express the overwhelming importance and total sleep-at-night factor you’ll feel once you discover the total property, tax secrets and asset protection plans of the rich and famous.

Andrew Baxter

Right now, there's mass confusion in the stock market. One day it is up by 60 points, the next down by 110. Most investors are shell-shocked and standing on the sidelines, bruised and battered and afraid to take any action. Despite all that, a small group of smart traders are rubbing their hands with excitement because they know what most investors don't know, and that is a volatile market brings more opportunity for profit if you know what you're doing.

Andrew Baxter fits the mold of a smart investor. He is an Associate Director with an Australian Securities Brokerage Firm and also is a Licensed Equities, Options and Futures Broker. He has a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Business and Finance, gained at one of Europe's leading business schools. He also has almost 13 years professional investment market experience, six of which was obtained on the London Stock Exchange, with two of the UK's leading investment houses, covering local and international markets.

Since then, his experience in Australia has ranged from delivering accredited investment training to in excess of 4,000 private traders, teaching them how to trade the equity and derivatives markets, through to consulting on Corporate Development Management, whilst also continuing to trade his own account.

Here’s a tiny peek at what Andrew will cover...

A sure-fire quick way to understand how options work and how to use them in certain markets.
How with options you can actually limit your risk to a small amount.
Why you should never ever allow your bought option contract to expire worthless (a painful lesson that all traders learn).
Why once you’re confident on a certain direction – by using options you can significantly leverage your investment amount and achieve a higher percentage return against buying the underlying share instead.
How to use options to create cash flow by writing covered calls if you already own shares.
Profit from any type of market movement. Up, down, sideways.
Plus much, much more..

Tom Hua

Tom Hua is one of the most famous guys on the internet. Want proof? Next time you’re tapping away on Google – enter the name “Tom Hua.” And you’ll find at least 400,000 web pages. Do you think you’d be making more sales if you got 400,000 web pages linking back to your web site? How did he do it? You'll discover that (and much more) at this event..

Tom is the grandfather of ebook publications with over 150 ebooks in circulation! He's a master at viral marketing and to be frank, Tom STILL makes money from projects that he stopped focusing on years ago. Amazingly, he couldn't stop the money pouring in, even if he wanted to!

Tom literally started from ground zero – emigrating from China with $300 in his back pocket and sleeping on newspapers in tiny apartments.

He’ll show you every step he took in order to become a self made millionaire through the internet. (way before any of the other speakers at this event came about). If Tom can turn things around – anyone can. And the good news is… YOU can model his exact process.

Stephen Jennings

Stephen openly told a small group of stock market professionals 2.5 years ago to buy as much oil shares as they could get their hands on. The trading price back then was $42... What is it today? Recently, it hit $100.

A bit of a fluke, you might think?

Well, in September 2007, he told another group of clients (me included) to buy as much Aussie Dollar as they could. The trading price then was $0.82. Today, it's hovering around $0.94.If you were personally there in the room, you could potentially be sitting on a small fortune.

These are only 2 examples of many that illustrate why Stephen Jennings is building a reputation of being the professional trader's best friend.

Stephen has over 15 years hands-on experience in the futures markets and is a private trader and dedicated researcher of trading systems and strategies. Trading profits are a direct result of good research... And good research is all about know where to look, and what to look for.

Here's a small snapshot of what Stephen will cover ...

Discover the secret to predicting the profitability of a trade! Learn about the 3 types of "trends", what they mean, and how to use them to increase your profits!
The BIG mistake that 95% of people make when trading futures, that can cause them to lose thousands of dollars overnight. And how to avoid this mega-costly mistake.
Why trading futures and commodities is one of the lowest-risks yet highest-profit markets of them all. Plus information you must know before trading in this market.
The simple yet biggest difference between a 'struggling trader' and one that makes $100,000.00 a year trading part-time is ... answered during Stephen's presentation.
Why too many traders get the 'research' part of trading dead wrong, which leads them to losing fistfuls of cash on bad trades. Discover a highly-accurate research centre.
Stephen reveals the secret to minimizing your risk and maximizing your profits (Hint: It's all about the "risk/ratio" principal).

Where: South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV 89183
Web: www.creonline.com/convention/
Type: Real Estate Seminar

While the News Media Is Busy Trying to Scare the H@!# Out of Us,
We're Asking: "What's Wrong with Getting Richer Quicker?"

We've assembled an elite group of experienced real estate investors who've seen this kind of market before. They refused to become paralyzed by the "doom and gloom" and got BUSY amassing fortunes while others watched from the sidelines...

This Convention is devoted to addressing this specific question:

"How Can I Make Money in Today's Real Estate Market?"

Unlike many other real estate "events" this is a REAL educational opportunity, not a dog-and-pony show with useless hype and one high-powered sales pitch after another. No, that won't happen here. This is the meat and potatoes you've been waiting for!

For three whole days and two evenings, you will meet, listen, and learn from some of the TOP professional real estate investors in the country.

Here's Who Will Be Teaching...

Attorney William Bronchick is a best-selling author and expert with over 17 years of hands-on experience in both up and down real estate markets.

Dwan Bent-Twyford is an expert in two of the most important topics for today's market: Foreclosures and Short Sales. She'll teach you a TON about Short Sales.

Dave Lindahl is a genius when it comes to multi-family and apartment house investing. He currently owns over 4,000 apartment units that generate a *massive* monthly cash flow. Yet--he never deals with a single tenant.

As you may know, Ray Alcorn is the host of our "Commercial Real Estate" Forum. And he's THE #1 expert when it comes to commercial real estate investing.

Jeff Adams has made a fortune in one of the toughest real estate markets in the country: Los Angeles. And he did it while working as a full-time Fire Fighter!

Justin Ryan began to build his own portfolio of rental properties at the age of 21, and the strategies he used were so successful, he was financially free at the age of 29. Not easily satisfied, Justin began a search for the most profitable real estate investing strategy of all.

R. Dale West has been the President of the National Foundation of Tax Planning, Estate Preservation, and Asset Protection for the past 20 years. He's appeared in large public seminars with Lady Margaret Thatcher, General Colin Powell, Senator Bob Dole, Elizabeth Dole, and former U.S. Presidents Reagan, Ford, and Bush.

David Finkel, Wall Street Journal best-selling real estate and finance expert, will share with you the inside story of how to become "financially fluent" so you can build, sustain, enjoy, and share the wealth you've dreamed of creating.

Marko Rubel knew just a few words of English when he arrived in the United States in 1994 with a small suitcase, $3,000, and a huge desire to become wealthy. He soon realized that a job in Corporate America is not a synonym for the American Dream and financial security. Then he discovered real estate investing!

Where: Manilla, Phillipines
When: May 24,2008

Browsing EC blogs and found one called 'pinoy seminars' so checked it out!

I have heard so much about Larry Gamboa. He is the author of the bestselling books Think Rich, Pinoy and Grow Rich, Pinoy. Apparently, he has applied Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad principles to the Philippine setting and have earned millions through real estate investing. He (or perhaps his team) maintains a blog at http://richteamevents.blogspot.com/.

Come February 16, we have the chance to meet and learn from Mr. Gamboa in person.

I'll post it and put it on the calendar.

What You Should Get Out of a Seminar

2007-10-03T21:41:00.000-07:00

There are only three things that you can get from a seminar: why, what and how.

These are the same things you can get from any learning tool, be it a book, a seminar, or a school course. All three are necessary for learning but the most useful is the how.

This is how I define each of those words, with regard to seminars:

Why: why are you in this seminar, why you should pick this seminar over others, why invest in [fill in the blank]. This is the motivator. It is both the sales pitch for whatever product they are selling (if you don't know that they are selling a product, you haven't been paying attention) and it is a call to pay attention and learn something. If you don't have a strong why, you'll never succeed. If you don't have a strong why, then why bother? Also, if you don't know what you want to do, the why can let you know if the topic is for you or not.

The Why question is necessary and the first question that needs to be answered in a seminar but it is also the most trivial. If this is all you get out of a seminar, it better be a free seminar. Even if it is a free seminar, if you don't get more than this, you are in for a long ride, generally paying for ever more expensive levels hoping to get some useful information eventually.

What: This is where they tell you what you should do. This will be things like: buy zero down, buy low and sell high, buy foreclosures, buy probate property, buy/sell on eBay, etc. These are the strategies. You need to pick a strategy so you can focus your efforts to accomplish your goal.

A number of presenters will act as if they are giving real information here but it is not as helpful as they make it seem. These are the fortune cookie answers. Yes, I should buy low and sell high, now what. This kind of information can be deceiving. There are multiple levels of "What" and some seminar chains just give more detailed levels of "What" as you pay for more expensive levels of seminar. If you don't get some "What" in even a free seminar, stay away. If you payed more than $1000, don't be satisfied with "What."

Don't get me wrong, you can learn a lot from these seminars but you will have to a lot of homework and figure out a lot on your own. That brings me to:

How: This is where they get into the details of how to implement the strategy. It is where they show you how to go to the courthouse and what information to look for, what signs to put in front of your house, what ads to place and when you should place them. This is what you are going to the seminar for. The main question is how many levels of seminar you'll have to go through to get this.

If you get some of the "How" at a free seminar, you will generally get more at the next levels. The difference will be between being able to accomplish the task at all and being able to excel at it.

Some presenters have a variation of this: They give the "What" and sell a utility or service that takes care of the "How." This can be useful but it isn't as good as getting the "How" and getting the utility. If the market changes and you know the Why, What, and How, you can make adjustments to fit the new market. If you just know the Why and What with a utility to take care of the How and the market changes, you will then have a useless utility.

Don't expect a presenter to give away all their secrets at a free or low cost seminar. However, you can use what they tell you at the free seminar to predict their behavior at later seminars.

Short Notice -- September 29, 2007

I wish people would send me these things sooner.

One of the things that distresses me about our industry is the amount of wrong or incomplete information available to investors. Some myths block what otherwise would be a great deal, while others would have you believe that a bad deal is actually great. For example, we encourage purchasing homes “subject-to” the existing mortgage as an option to finance the purchase of an investment property. This means that title to the property is transferred to the purchaser, but the loan remains in the original borrower’s name with payments made by the purchaser. Unfortunately, many myths exist around this method which could rob you of your profits. Let’s take this opportunity to dispel 5 of the most common.

How to Pick a Realtor

2007-08-05T16:16:00.000-07:00

I was reading Aiming for Independence and the author has a post about buying real estate. He has a couple of paragraphs about picking a realtor that appears to be written for the non investor. I thought that I'd pick up off of that and expand on what he wrote. My purpose here is to show how to pick a realtor who will be a good partner for a real estate investor.

The first thing to think about when looking for a realtor is: do you need a realtor?

If you are totally new, then in the short run a great realtor will be less expensive than a real estate seminar. However, a bad or just average realtor will end up costing you a lot of money.

If you are experienced, a realtor can sometimes be helpful but is not a necessity. My general rule of thumb is: if it is listed, I bring in a realtor. If it is listed, a commission is being paid. Why not give someone a piece of that commission for representing your interest? Also, a realtor can be helpful if you are investing in an area that you are not familiar with (not a recommended strategy, by the way).

One place I like to look for realtors in an area is at real estate investment clubs. The realtors that attend those understand real estate investing. Also you can get referrals from other investors. The last thing you need is a realtor who only knows how to fill out the standard form.

Another place is to look through the free real estate magazines that are often available at stores. If you don't have access to those, look at the real estate section of the local news paper. Look for someone who is listing a lot of the type of property you want to buy. If they are listing a lot of that property, they probably have some expertise in that area.

Short Notice: Co-operative Purchase Option - Adam King

2007-07-31T16:10:00.000-07:00

The Perfect Strategy to make Money in this Market this Market

Have you been waiting for a creative real estate investing system that shows you "once and for all" that there\'s a proven method of getting deals anywhere in the country that is simply un-fail-able? Well the wait is over!

You will be delighted to know Adam does everything different during his presentations. You will first notice that he has a lot of knowledge for what he does, but will also see that "what he does" is very different than what you have seen in the past. If you think this will be another event where you get the same old information and then get pushed to the back table to buy an expensive course, you are sadly mistaken.

Adam will go over a day you will never forget. He will be sharing in detail the Cooperative Purchase System, which has been molded by the times and the economy. There will be an incredible amount of information shared, but the most important point is the promise this system offers. It is the easiest system to get started with in the country! There are associates who have gotten their first deals in a matter of MINUTES. And the average person usually gets a property under contract within 48 hours of applying the basics of the system WITHOUT making an offer to the seller! And in many cases without even TALKING to the seller! If you cannot talk, walk or drive a car you can still apply this system. Even if you are afraid to leave your house, you can still apply this system!

And for one more very exciting bonus, Adam is allowing our members to be the first in the country to witness the much anticipated launch of the Cooperative Purchase ILOC ™ Program. This is the final compliment to the already successful systems within the Cooperative Purchase. This system will show you how to use banks and lines of credit (yours or someone else\'s) to dominate the foreclosure market. You simply will not believe all of the incredible attributes this system has to offer. For all of you who want to live the dream but have been stopped in your tracks because of, fear or of tedious and repetitive jobs and tasks taught by most national speakers, this is y! our last chance to see how a system can compliment anyone in any market. And for those of you who are reaching to go full time and creating a favorable living for your family out of creative real estate, you will see what you have been missing.

When Adam is asked about this system, he replies with; the simplest explanation of this system is the logo on the front page of the Cooperative Purchase Website. And that of course is; welcome, you have no more excuses.

Dealing with Realtors After a Seminar

2007-07-24T11:09:00.000-07:00

"You're not going to be throwing a low ball offer at me, like the last 4 investors, are you?"

I hear this a lot from realtors. I hate hearing this because of course I'm going to make a low ball offer as one of my purchase techniques. It's just not my only technique. That question, however make me think about what happens when many potential investors come out of the seminars.

Most realtors know when a seminar has been in town. They get flooded with low ball offers from unknown people with no money and no credit. Plus, all the offers tend to look the same. I hate to tell you but almost anything they get in those email floods gets tossed out. Think of it from a realtor's standpoint. Why should they put a lot of effort working with 20 offers from some newbie unknown that have very little chance going through escrow?

So, you've spent 1-4 days learning some great stuff and you're all fired up. It's Monday and you want to dive in and put your new found knowledge to work for you. In most cases the person giving the seminar gave good advice on how to find deals. Why then do so many people think that they can get a realtor to do all their work?

In most seminars, students are taught to avoid realtors and look for direct sellers. Why then do the realtors get a flood of offers after that seminar? Because a lot of people who want to be investors are lazy. It's easier to send stuff to a realtor than to look for your own deals, market for and court your own sellers and do all the footwork that is normally needed.

It isn't that realtors, themselves, are lazy. They will do a lot of footwork. They will fax offers, meet with clients, and do a bunch of your paperwork. They just won't do it for you unless they know you and trust that you can perform and get them their commission check at the end of all their hard work.

Thus, we get to the usual catch-22. They won't work with you until you're successful and you can't get successful unless they work with you. Fortunately, this is not insurmountable. Smart realtors know that everyone has to start somewhere and if they can get in the ground floor with "That Client" they have it made for life. How do they know that you're That Client? First, lets look at the things that indicate that someone isn't That Client. Most people who fail in real estate are either lazy or they don't stick to it and follow through (and usually they are both).

The goal here is to show that you are not lazy and you do stick to it and you do follow through. To do this court the realtor. Set up lunch dates if you are local or phone dates if you aren't. First thing is keep the appointment. Next, find out what the realtor is looking for. I could tell you 95% of what they'll say but I still ask because they see that you are taking the time to find out. Also, there is still that 5% that might be key to a good relationship. During this conversation, remember that we have two ears and only one mouth. That is an important ratio. Then tell the realtor what your strategy is and how it fits into what they want.

At this point, I ask for something easy like emailed MLS listings matching a specific criteria. In most states, this is something that takes them 5 minutes to set up and it is then automatic. Then write your offers and either fax them to the realtor or convert them to PDF and email them to the realtor. That way all the realtor has to do is forward the file or punch in the phone number. Since the realtor knows you and this isn't much effort for the expected payout, they'll do it for a while. At this point, if you perform, they'll love dealing with you and you can get them to do just about anything that's legal.

Another thing that you can ask for are non competing referrals. They get referrals from people they send referrals to. So if you need a good loan officer, escrow company, real estate attorney or title company in that area, ask the realtor.

Remember that a realtor can be a valuable ally but anyone who is desperate or inexperienced enough to let you walk all over them, isn't going to be a valuable ally. When hunting for a realtor look for a partner rather than a lackey and you will do much better.

Marshall Reddick Seminars

2007-07-18T13:32:00.000-07:00

I posted a bunch of Marshal Reddick's seminars and club meetings in the calendar for the rest of July and August.

I have all of his REO meetings listed and I'm working on the others (he has a lot of them).

Unfortunately for most of you viewers, almost all of Marshall Riddick's events are in California and most are in Orange County and the surrounding counties.

This is a very good way to learn the basics and most if his events are free. I think that the ones that charge include dinners or take place on college campuses.

Most of the services that his group offers are free. The group benefits from growing a large network of sellers and buyers to fuel his own investing. This is a very good group to check out even if you are an experienced investor. If nothing else, it provides a model for how to build a group that will fuel your investing business.

How Many Seminars Should You Attend?

2007-07-13T09:55:00.000-07:00

This really depends on your time frame.

For me, I saw the writing on the wall for my 9-5 job about a year before I got the layoff notice. I had plenty of time and money to look into and try various things (day trading, FOREX, note purchasing, plus various real estate sub markets). So, I did. I chose real estate for a number of internal and external reasons that I'll get into in another post.

If your time frame or budget don't support that, there are alternatives.

Limited Time

If you have limited time, spend about a month searching out all the info you can find on various blogs and seminar web sites. Avoid any seminars that are too general (some of them are very good but you will have time for those later). If you know what you want to do, look for single speaker/product seminars within your "travel zone" (whatever that is for you). If you still don't know exactly what you want to do, go to a multi speaker, multi day seminar. That is the best way to expose yourself to the many possibilities.

At the initial seminar, you will generally be given the opportunity to give them money to learn more about the topic you chose. If this is a multi speaker seminar, find out from the seminar staff what the deadlines for signing up are. The reason is that you don't have time to play with multiple seminars and if something looks good at the beginning of the seminar but something better comes along at the end, and you don't know the sign up deadlines, you either have to sign up for both or pass on the first and hope that something better comes along. If you must, sign up for both. Attend the one that will work best for you and only attend the other if you end up having the time. It is not the optimal use of your money but it is an optimal use of your time.

Limited Budget

If you have a limited budget but more than one year, go to as many multi speaker and other free seminars as you can. Don't buy into any of the products. They always have buy it now incentives at seminars. This is because they give the seminar host a cut of what they make and the host wants people to sign up at the seminar. The seminar will be back next year. They will offer the same deal or a better deal next time. When you spend your money, make it count.

If you are easily swayed, bring along a partner who have more willpower and give over your wallet. The speakers are trained to make it seem like the only people with success in their lives are the ones that pay them money "now." Once you've heard these from 2-3 dozen speakers, you learn that success does not come from giving your money to someone to learn something, it comes from giving your money to the right person to learn the right thing.

If you have Time and Budget

This was my route. I went to many multi speaker and single speaker seminars I bought a number of different products and follow up seminars (one might say too many but if I didn't I might not have found the one that did it for me). I learned that the same deal is offered every time the speaker presents it. I might have waited on some if I had known that. Oh, well. At least you can learn the easy way. So, if you have over a year and the budget, see as many different seminars as you can. Do go to the general self improvement seminars. You will want to take them eventually anyway and you have the time and the budget now.

Glossary of Real Estate Terms

2007-07-12T14:01:00.000-07:00

The site is: AboutEstate.com.

I found this site and it is really useful to me.

They list a large number of real estate terms. It has useful and, as far as I've seen, accurate information. However, the site takes a bit of navigating and I could quibble with some of their formatting choices.

They have a separate page for each beginning letter. Good so far. However, they use the underline (that normally indicates a link) to indicate a link you haven't yet followed. The links that you have followed no longer appear to be links.

Also the main display window is a bit busy. There is no separation between the definition and the ads. This does not appear to be an attempt to deceive since they are visually different but it does make it harder to read.

That being said, I did bookmark the site in my real estate links and I think that it is good enough to post here for others to use.

The Millionaire Mind Intensive Can Help You be More Effective in Your Real Estate Business

2007-07-11T10:24:00.000-07:00

The Millionaire Mind Intensive isn't specifically real estate based.

However, I think that it teaches good skills that carry well into your real estate business. One of this seminar's focuses is teaching you how to get out of your own way. This won't transform your life (only you can do that) but it will help you know where the speed bumps are. My own reaction: there are a couple of traits that I am working on changing and a a few traits that I like so I'm figuring out how to work around them and still improve the way I conduct business.

They have a number of events across the US and Canada for September and October: Montreal, QC; Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles, CA; Toronto, ON; Denver, CO; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Edmonton, Alberta; Dallas, TX; and Seattle, WA.

You can check their current schedule (in case they update before I get it to my calendar) and/or register Millionaire Mind Evening.

Millionaire Mind Evening is a one evening, free preview of the Millionaire Mind Intensive program.

Luxury Homes Real Estate Training

2007-07-09T18:24:00.000-07:00

Marco Kozlowski has the luxury homes market down pat.

He has all the tools and partners you need to buy and sell luxury homes.

His next seminar is on August 27 28 29 30 in Las Vegas, NV.

This bootcamp is pretty good for beginners. He lines it all out for you. One of the key features about this is that he doesn't just teach you how to find and how to sell luxury homes. He teaches you how to set up a business for buying and selling luxury homes. He even goes into employee hiring and management so you can spend more time doing what makes you money. If you are just starting out, this will show you how to set yourself up right. If you are already a real estate invester, this section will help you get out of your own way.

You might be able to pull a deal together in the first month but it usually takes longer to get all your tools set up and in place. It can also take a while to actually pull a deal together but that doesn't mean that you won't make some money on the way. One of the things that Marco focuses on is how to make little bits of money on each step. This way, even if a deal falls through, you make enough money to keep the lights on.

The good thing is that he sends you enough information to get started and get some potential deals before the bootcamp. If you have at least three weeks before the bootcamp and you have $100-$100 to spend on marketing, you can come to the bootcamp with 4-10 potential deals. At the bootcamp, he has people bring up their deal and he would call the seller and help them close the deal. This seminar isn't a bunch of "this is what worked for me 10 years ago." He gets up there with you and your potiential deal and works it right there.

Also, the course is always changing. There are things in his seminars now that weren't there when I took it and things that he's removed because they don't work any more (or don't work as well as something new).

You can contact them to get the specific details HERE.

Marco also has a weekly conference call in which he or his assistant answer questions and help you do some prep for the bootcamp.

After the bootcamp, you have access to a different set of calls in which he keeps people informed about the new stuff that he's adding to the bootcamp and answers specific questions.

New Seminar On Calendar

2007-07-09T18:09:00.000-07:00

Todd Dotson has two Tactical Real Estate Bootcamps coming up.

One is on September 26-30 in Arlington, TX and the other is in November (dates TBD) in Anaheim, CA.

This bootcamp is very good for beginners and for those who have been in the field for a while but don't think they are doing as well as they should.

You can contact them to get the specific details HERE.

Todd also has a weekly conference call in which he or his assistant answer questions.

New events on the Calendar

2007-07-06T16:34:00.001-07:00

I posted a bunch of dates and locations for Financial Power Summit.

This is a multi speaker/multi topic seminar. About a1/4 of the topics relate to real estate. Another 1/4 to 1/2 relate to business in general (and if you aren't running your real estate investing as a business, you should). The other topics may not have any interested to someone focused on real estate.

They seem to be staying on the two coasts (east coast then west coast).

I will be updating this with contact and registration information but for now, email me at reseminarlist@gmail.com. Please reference this list in the subject line to seperate your message from the spam.

How to Get the Most Out of a Real Estate Seminar

2007-07-05T19:22:00.000-07:00

Q: What are the two things that you get from a real estate seminar (or any seminar)?

A: Information and contacts.

How do you maximize the information you receive from the seminar?

Listen and take notes.

By listening, I don't just mean hearing what the speaker says. I mean pay attention, think about what the speaker says. Resist the temptation to say "I know that already" or "that's not right." Both of those mental statements shut your brain down. Even if you've heard something several times, think about it. Something new might occur to you or you might be in a different mental place than you were the last time you heard it. Also, you can't tell the validity of a statement until you hear it, think about it and evaluate it. You can't do that if you reject it before you hear it.

Take plenty of notes. I always bring two notebooks (computer and paper). If I can find a spot near a wall with power, I set up the computer. Otherwise, I make due with the paper notebook (I type faster and with less thought than I write). If they have handouts, glance through them before the presenter speaks and look to see if they are copies of the PowerPoint or white board, etc. If they are, follow along with the handout and reference it in your notes. That way you don't waste time writing what's already written.

Don't try to write every word that comes out of the speaker's mouth. Think about what the speaker is saying and write what it means to you. This does two things for you. It makes you think about and process what the speaker is saying and it makes it easier for you to remember what you learned when you read your notes. If you reread your notes. Most people never reread their notes. That's OK. The process of writing the notes plants the information more firmly in your mind that just listening.

There is a danger to putting your own words on the information you get: you might get it wrong. That's why it is always good to swap notes with someone else that went to the seminar and read them. For one thing, if they have something that you missed, you can add it to your notes. If they have a different take on what the presenter said, you can discuss it and figure out just what the real information is.

How do you get as many contacts as possible at a seminar?

Bring lots of business cards and meet as many people as possible.

You should always have a pocket full of your cards at the beginning of the day of a seminar and you should have a pocket full of other people's cards at the end of the day. However, it isn't quantity that you need it is quality. If you end up with a pile of cards and you look through them and can't figure out who they are or why you have their card, it does you no good. After you are done talking to the person or group that you swapped cards with, write the date, time and a little bit about what they do that can help you in your business on the back of their card. That way the card will still mean something a week after the seminar.

How do you greet people you meet at a seminar?

Practice your "elevator speech." Your elevator speech is a 15 second speech where you say who you are and what you do. Here's an example: "Hi, I'm Jeff Miller. I buy and sell high end properties and I run a list for real estate seminars." That's it. It's simple and concise. They are interested in meeting someone who buys and sells high end real estate or who runs a list of real estate seminars or they aren't. If they are interested, I try to find out who they are and what they do (and why they are interested in what I do). Am I afraid of rejection? Why should I be? They aren't saying that they have no interest in Jeff Miller, they are saying that they have no interest in high end properties or real estate seminar lists. In my mind, I thank them for letting me cut loose and talk to someone else who might be interested.

After you have given your elevator speech (and, hopefully, heard theirs), ask questions and listen. Find out why they are interested in and what they need. Don't worry about getting your information in. If they are experienced, they will be asking questions and listening too. If they aren't experienced, you can always let them know how you can help them with a particular challenge that they mention.

Where can you meet people at a seminar?

Unless you roll in late, you are probably standing in a crowd waiting for the doors to open. It's a crowd. Of people.

When you get in the room of the seminar, before the seminar, you are in a room, a crowded room. It's a crowd. Of people.

When you sit down, look left, right, ahead of you and behind you. You should see people. If you don't, move.

When you are working your way to your spot in the middle of the row, you are walking past people.

I might seem a little flip with the above examples but they are true. Also, you might be wondering (in a snarky tone): "So there's a crowd. Of people. How do I meet them?"

Well, wise guy, pick one person at random (or whoever is closest) and say: "Hi, I'm Jeff Miller. I buy and sell high end properties and I run a list for real estate seminars." Don't put a lot of thought into who to meet because you won't know who they are until after you've met them.

It really is that simple. You'll believe it once you've done it a few times.

Also, there is usually a lunch break or it ends right before dinner. Either pick someone who you want to learn more about or pick someone who you haven't met yet. How do you meet them? You say: "Hi, I'm Jeff Miller. I buy and sell high end properties and I run a list for real estate seminars." Then say where you're headed for lunch or dinner and ask if they would like to join you.

Remember they are all there looking to learn more about real estate (or whatever the seminar is about). You already share one interested with them or one of you is in the wrong place.

What is a Real Estate Seminar?

2007-07-03T14:22:00.000-07:00

This is the first of a series of posts for the first time seminar attendee.

I will talk about what to expect at the different types of seminar and how to get the most out of the seminars.

The first topic is:

What Types of Real Estate Seminars are There?

There are several attributes to most seminars, I'll go through some of them.

The first attribute that most people see is cost. Cost can tell you something about the seminar but it can also be deceptive. I'll break them down into what usually goes into each cost caragory and then give some of the exceptions.

For single topic seminars:

Free: Expect tthat they have something to sell. No one does these seminars to lose money (if nothing else, they have to pay for the hotel space). If you go to a free seminar, you will hear a sales pitch. This isn't a bad thing as long as you know that's what you're going to get. Unless you have enough time to spend 2-8 hours listening to a sales pitch (or multiple sales pitches by different presenters, in the case of the longer ones), only go if you think that you might be interested enough in the topic to spend $500-$5000. You will generally hear a lot of "what" and "why" answers but no "how" answers (i.e. they will say what you need to learn and why you need to learn it but they won't teach it for free).
$100-$200: Just like a free seminar but they got you to pay for it.
$400-$700: Expect either a product that has a monthly membership fee (like web hosting or a data service) or some minor information with an upsell to a $1000-$3000 seminar. At this level, they should be telling you enough to get started in the field but you will be reinventing the wheel a lot. You will have to do a great deal of research or trial and error on your own.
$1000-$5000: Expect to get enough information that you can actually do business. You might not get the best stuff they have to offer but you should get enough info and tools (like books and CDs with forms or other info) to function well. They will offer more services, usually software packages that will do the stuff they tought and they will usually offer mentorships. If that is the field that you are going in and you want to start right away, a good mentor is the way to go.
$10,000 - $20,000: this is usually packaged with a mentorship program. They usually go all out on these since they will use the success of these programs to promote themselves. Expect to be able to perform well if you can follow the directions they give you.

For multi topic seminars, expect to get the information from the next lower price point.

Note that just because the seminar is expensive it's no guarantee that they will give the right amount of information. However, most of the worst ones got taken down a few years ago.

Next topic: How to get the most out of a seminar.

Enlightened Wealth Retreat - July 25th - July 29th

2007-07-02T17:16:00.000-07:00

The Enlightened Wealth Retreat is in Washington DC. They will be announcing the Anaheim one soon (it'll be about 6 months from now).

This is Robert Allen's group: Enlightened Wealth Institute (EWI). I did my first real estate deals using information and resources from one of their seminars. This is a free seminar for current EWI students. If you aren't a current student, you need to contact a current student and get them to bring you as a guest. If you send me a note, I'll try to put you in contact with an EWI member who is going.

This event has a number of programs by different presenters. EWI started out as an almost exclusively real estate based event but lately they have been branching out into other fields. If you are interested in a topic, they probably cover it in the 5 days.

This event has a bit "Ra-Ra" (cheerleading stuff) but we all need a bit of that now and again.

Also, since this is a free event, almost all the presenters will be selling a program or product. The various products have "investments" ranging from $500 to $5000. This and the Learning Annex event are IMO the two best events to attend if you want to invest in real estate but don't know what segment of the real estate market to invest in. Do not buy every product you like, pick one to focus on and give it a good try. Do not try to learn multi tenant and rehabs and commercial properties at the same time. You just can't give any one of them the proper focus. You will be more successful if you pick one and stick with it at least 6 months.

Also, like the Learning Annex, just because the presenters have a product to sell, don't think that you won't learn anything. I've been to a number of EWI events and I only saw one presenter who just gave a sales pitch without giving useful information and he hasn't been back since. There was another who was borderline but i suspect that he got a "talkn to" since he was much better the next year. In general, you will get enough information that you can get yourself started and on the learning curve just from what they tell you in the presentation. The seminar or product that they promote will help you go faster and will give them time to go into much more detail.

Why create a Seminar List?

2007-07-01T16:10:00.000-07:00

4 years ago, when I decided to become a real estate investor, I had some general knowlege (I'd worked for a hard money lender for 13 years) but no specific training. So I went to a lot of seminars starting in late 2003 through 2004. In order to learn what I need to get started.

I went to seminars on just about every field of real estate investing to find what was right for me. Eventually I did, geting into 4-plexes in 2004 as a wage replacement.

I still go to a few each year because the market keeps changing and what was a good investement in 2004 no longer works.

Where I have specific knowlege about a specific seminar or a specific speaker (if my knowlege is old, I can talk about the speaker's abilities and character but the seminar info will, hopefully, have changed.

My next posts will be about what kinds of seminars there are and what to expect from a seminar in general.

Welcome!

2007-06-30T10:52:00.001-07:00

I will be adding real estate seminars and events to this blog and the attached calendar over the next few weeks and will endevor to keep it updated with the most relevant events I can find.
