Glossary of Real Estate Terms

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

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

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

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

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.
