Truths About Investing
There are seven simple truths in the world of the real estate
investing. 
Learn about them, understand them, and you'll start out head and
shoulders above every other seminar graduate on the planet.
Make them a part of you. Observe
them in action. Understand them so
they become the basis from which every deal you do flows.
The
alternative is almost certain failure, because if you fail to learn and
understand these simple truths, you're destined to take the same path many
others have taken. Between you and
me, you really don't...for more information, please

Myth's Of Investing
Reason #1: I have no cash
The Myth: "You need money to make money"
The Truth: Find a good real estate deal, and the money will find you. Ask
any seasoned investor and they will tell you that lack of funds is never an
issue; lack of good deals is! If
you can negotiate a good price on a house, you will find plenty of partners
willing to put up the money.
Reason #2: I have no time

Ways To Loose In Real Estate
#1 Doing dumb deals:
No
one's impervious to it. I typically
do at least one dumb deal every year. I
either get in a hurry or overlook something obvious and, boom, I get whacked
right between the eyes with mortgage payments on a house I can't give away.
I either paid too much or didn't do my homework, or maybe I let myself
get talked into speculating about the possibilities.
Whatever the case, doing dumb deals will take you out of the... for more

Dealing
With Money Seasoning Issues
In recent years, some lenders have been placing
"seasoning" requirements on loan transactions.
This has caused some grief to investors that do "sandwich"
lease options. (A "sandwich" lease option is an arrangement whereby an
investor leases a property with an option to buy from a homeowner, then
subleases the property to a third party with an option to buy; the investor
helps the tenant obtain a loan, then exercises his option to buy from the owner
and simultaneously re-sells it to the tenant in a double-closing.)
Some lenders are afraid to fund the second part of a double-closing because of
the possibility that the tenant/buyer's purchase... for more information, please

Ethics
Of Investing
I think investors as a whole have a bad
reputation. People think of us as sharks, piranhas and vultures.
They think we thrive on taking advantage of people in distress to better
ourselves. I don't believe that is
true. I see investors as a group of
folks who help people out of stressful situations.
The people we help have gotten themselves into their situation and we are
there to offer a solution. I truly
believe we help the public by offering a wonderful service.
As with any industry, there is always one bad apple in every barrel.
It stuns me how many investors try to screw each other...for more

Foreclosed
Properties - Short Sales
Anyone actively investing in foreclosed and distressed
properties has no doubt come across one major problem. Finding deals with
equity! Trust us, this is a nationwide problem.
There are so many foreclosures out there. Unfortunately, most of the
homeowners owe what their property is worth. We find that most investors
walk away from deals with no equity. They either don't know what to do
with a no-equity deal or they are unwilling to put forth the effort necessary to
make the deal work. In situations like this, we discount the mortgage.
"What is discounting?" It means that the bank discounts...for
