Housing by Ryan Hinricher | May 31, 2010It’s hard to argue the real estate market hasn’t stabilized significantly from April 2009 (bottom of the first dip). It is difficult, however, to agree on what direction the market is heading over the course of the next year. But looking forward to the next 120 days, I think there’s a small window for some [...]
Real Estate Investing by Richard Warren | May 31, 2010 
At the height of the Las Vegas real estate bubble there were well over one hundred high-rise condominium projects in some stage of development. Most of them never went beyond the planning stage.

1 ) Most real estate office meetings I have been to focus on production and numbers. We’re NOT #1! shows how that does not have to be so; meetings should be about the client, experience and satisfaction. Big should not be the goal, best should be. 2 ) So you want to see what can [...]

You’re about to see one of the best ways to get a free bird dog to do a ton of legwork for you. And some of you are going to use this and make a lot of money and some of you won’t. Personally, I don’t use this method (I’ll tell you why in a [...]

In a previous article we discussed some of the risks and rewards of real estate investing. While writing that article I very quickly discovered that there is no “right or wrong” answer when it comes to a magic formula to deciding which deals are too risky for the rewards offered. The ultimate voice that makes [...]
Read the full article → Real Estate Investing by Peter Giardini | May 27, 2010I have heard from many “gurus” that the world of real estate investing has the highest “churn” rate of all investment opportunities.

While [...]
Starting Out by Shae Bynes | May 27, 2010 
Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with a work at home mother of 2 young children who is brand new to the real estate investing game. Within 10 minutes of speaking with her, I learned that she had completed 4 wholesale deals over the past few months….and while that is impressive, what is [...]

In a perfect world, all real estate wholesale transactions would be completed by simply putting a property under contract, and then assigning that contract to an end buyer via an assignment agreement. While this is the quickest and easiest way to wholesale a piece of property, unfortunately, it is not always possible to accomplish. When [...]

Real Estate Technology by Justin McHood | May 25, 2010 
Quite a few of my geeky friends were on Foursquare way before I was. Heck, one of them even became the mayor of my house (at 4:00am) before I started paying attention to it.
