I get asked this question all the time! "How do you get started?" I think the question should be, "How should I get started?"

So, my answer is the usual: "It depends." I've used that answer ever since working collections for the IRS.
It's a good answer. That's because everyone's situation is unique, and we should take a look at a few things:We can sum the questions up with these five biggies:

  • What are your strengths?
  • What are your weaknesses?
  • What is your short term goal?
  • What is your long term goal?
  • What is the current market like?

At the main meeting we are going to explore these areas, and delve into how to get started in real estate.
This meeting is for everyone, as we will want to hear thoughts from the experts too.

If you’re not making offers, you’re not buying houses...

Thanks to your REIA, you now have the tools to help you do just that, Make Offers that Get Accepted.

My name is Mike Jacka, a full time investor of 25 plus years and the developer of the Property Analyzer Tools that are available through this REIA as a Premium Upgrade.

Join us at the Hilton Garden Inn located at 3528 Gateway St, Springfield, OR 97477 to learn faster and easier ways to analyze properties. (You must bring and wear a facial covering. No food will be served as the Inn is not providing food service yet.)

At this training I will show you how to Quickly and Accurately Estimate Repairs, Analyze a Property and Make Offers that Get Accepted.

One of the things that hold many people back is the fear of making a mistake because they may have missed something or that they think they don’t know all the details that the experienced investors do. Over the years I have developed systems and checklists to help my staff and agents collect the required information and how to read/analyze the information so that it all makes sense. The next step is how to use all that information to make an offer that the seller is more likely to accept and how to make money from the deal once the seller accepts your offer.

The national average of deals to offers ratio is around 20 offers made to buy 1 property. That simply doesn’t make sense to me. Most people that follow my system have reduced that number down to buying 1 out of every 3 offers they make.

I set out to create a simple yet effective system so that I could get anyone trained within a few days to go out and find deals for me with little to no experience. It took several years of trial and error to find the right process, but it was worth it because now I can hire someone new, with no experience and have them finding deals and presenting offers while I am traveling around the country doing what I love; helping others find their own success.
Why does this system work?

Because it looks at the most important numbers and presents you with a few different ways to buy a property and more importantly, it also shows you the appropriate exit strategy for each offer and what your potential profit centers are in each deal based on the unique circumstances of your deal, not just hypotheticals that do not relate to the deal you are looking at.

During our Premium Members Training/Mastermind Sessions, I challenge the students to go out there and just do it. Here is an email I just got back from one of them the other day.

"I was excited to learn that I had won the contest for your package but I learned even more by just doing the actions it took to win it. It sure gets the pit of your stomach working a little overtime but that’s where the good stuff lives. Thank you for the time you take to help countless people trying to work on their dreams. It helps us prove to ourselves that it is possible. Thanks again Mike!!"

Get Pre-Registered now and come to the meeting with your questions at hand. I want you to be as successful as you possible can be and that starts with showing up. See you at the meeting. Mike

What will you learn at this special training?
  1. How to Quickly and Accurately Estimate Repairs in 10-15 minutes
  2. How to Find Comps (Comparable Sold Properties) even without access to the MLS
  3. How to use a Seller Net Sheet as a Negotiating Tool
  4. How to Analyze every Property Quickly
  5. How to Construct Offers that Sellers are more likely to Accept.
  6. How to Present your Offers Professionally

Mike will walk you step by step through his process of looking at and making an initial repair estimate on a potential deal, and show you how he does this in 10-15 minutes so you can quickly calculate your MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer) for cash deals.
