    Opportunities, Opportunities, Opportunities Everywhere!

    Opportunities, Opportunities, Opportunities Everywhere!

    Real estate has made more millionaires than any other career field. So many ways to make money in Real Estate. Where are these opportunities and how do you find them. Where can you get the most of your efforts from real estate investing. Let's take a look at some of the ways you can make money and how to avoid the pitfalls that people make when investing.

    If you can learn how to spot the opportunities that are in your local area, you can prosper and create a viable business that can provide you with financial freedom and life flexibility that you have only dreamed of. Many people talk about being real estate investors but then find themselves in over their head with the daily responsibilities of running a real estate business. They get frustrated and claim that its such a hard business, yet people continue to make money each and every day in this business.

    There are SO many ways to make money in real estate, such as:


    Multifamily
    Single family
    Commercial
    Notes
    Auctions
    Tax Lein Sales

    and so many more. How are you making your money in real estate? This question is asked by newbies and experienced investment hopefuls alike.

    Opportunities do abound everywhere and understanding what to look for and how to seek out the best ones are a skill that once honed will allow you to maximize your efforts which leads to better profits. If you can maximize your profits you will make more money on your deal opportunities which will allow you to move forward being more aggressive in making offers and acquiring more properties. Can you scale your operations and grow your business? Real estate is about being able to rinse and repeat the process over and over again. When you are able to repeat your processes then you put yourself in position to continue to build for success. I often hear that many people DO repeat the process but still do not have the success that is talked about among the elite of real estate investing. The secret to success is "buying right and MAXIMIZING your profits", it has been proven many times over by those that have built their systems and understand how to use real estate to accomplish the things that you want in life.

    Now more than every is the BEST time to be involved in real estate investing. Interest rates are at an all time low. Many people have equity that they can tap into in their home to create cash. Finally due to COVID-19 many properties are coming to the marketplace due to many economic conditions. It is time for you to stop standing on the sidelines hoping to become an investor, but rather put the plans into motion to change your trajectory.

    Epi07 Art Of The First Deal

    Epi07 Art Of The First Deal

    Why is it that so many people want to invest in real estate. Yet each year that passes they are sitting on the sideline never making the move to do it. The masses have heard all the stories about getting rich in real estate. All the gurus preach about how easy it is to make money in real estate investing. In order for any of this to make sense you first have to DO a DEAL!

    Doing your first real estate deal will lay your foundation upon which you can start to build your success story. But you have to DO a DEAL in order to get to that point. I have talked with so many potential real estate investors who have money that they are sitting on because they can not find good deals. They cannot find good people to work with who have integrity and aren't just trying to make a quick buck.  There are so many different techniques and tips that can be used to buy real estate. Many gurus promise to unlock this "MAGIC" for you, only to leave you more confused than when you started.

    Confidence is the number one reason to get your 1st deal done. It will help you understand that real estate is a business like any other. It must be worked and perfected in order for things to work as planned. People are so afraid of failing that instead of doing things to minimize that risk, like getting a mentor. They would rather sit on the sidelines and watch as others continually make millions and then try to play it off as that  is the person's luck. It is not luck, but rather the work ethic that makes you successful.

    Strategies! Ideas and concepts that make up real estate investing are there for YOU to uncover if you are willing to put in the necessary time to learn them. Theses are the same methods used by investors over and over again to scale their enterprises and get the life that they have always wanted. It is not easy and if often doesn't happen overnight. Ideas and the concepts to investing in real estate allow you to become as creative as your mind can be in being able to assist someone who needs to either get out from under a financially hard commitment, or helping someone reach what they had only thought could be a dream of owning their own home. 



    Why have you not invested in real estate? If you have, why are you not living the fullest dream life you can at it. There are ways to better understand the concepts and ideas for investing and getting yourself to that next level. We can assist with:


    Mentoring and coaching

    Epi06 Gold Knot Fix/Flip Mini Camp

    Epi06 Gold Knot Fix/Flip Mini Camp

    The first thing you need to understand is that the ultimate goal in a venture such as this is to make as much money as possible in as little time as possible. This means several things to the wise investor not the least of which is that you must always have a complete inspection performed before you make any sort of financial commitment to the house. A good inspection can help you identify work that must be done, whether or not there is any structural damage, or whether there are any unexpected problems such as signs of termites or water damage behind the walls.

    If you are anything like millions of Americans you have probably caught countless shows on cable television that boast the serious profits that can be made by flipping houses. This is a very true statement, serious money can be made when one goes about flipping the correct way, however, serious money can be much more easily lost when a house flip goes wrong. If you are hoping to find your way to fortune through real estate investing you need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and understand a few house flip basics.

    You should also take a moment to reflect upon the fact that many first time flippers actually lose money on their first flip. If you turn a profit at all, even a small profit you have learned many valuable lessons that you can carry with you into future flips and make more money. More importantly the lessons you learn from your first flip are lessons that money really cannot buy so it is worth a lower profit or even taking a slight hit if your experience makes you even more money in the future as you continue along your real estate investment path.

    Epi05 Marketing The Magic Wand to Real Estate Investing

    Epi05 Marketing The Magic Wand to Real Estate Investing

    Marketing is the Magic Wand to your success in Real Estate Investing! Being successful is a matter of building and efficient lead generation system that brings you in enough opportunities on a regular basis. Real estate investing is a relationship business and therefore you need to make sure that people who need the services that you are offering know, like, and trust you, as well as know how to get in touch with you when the need arises. In this week's episode we explore the Magi Wand needed to Market yourself and services. https://anchor.fm/marco-barnes--jr

    If you set your system up correctly you will be able to save yourself a bunch of time, money, energy and stress that can sometime come along when trying to find those "GOOD DEALS!" So you want to make sure that you have done all the hard work in the beginning by setting up your network and letting people know what you do. You lead generation should be cost effective and should allow you to be familiar with the areas that you want to work in.

    competition in real estate is becoming fierce because SO MANY people have been wanting to try it but have not had the resources or time. The interest rates are at all time lows which is allowing many to refinance their current property and gain access to cash. The only problem is that these people are driving prices up for the value of properties instead of finding good deals. I read in Yahoo Finance that in the past year 1 Million homes have been bought or sold in the South alone. Imagine what home prices are in other areas across the United States.

    Automation is making looking for lead sources very easy, which allows for easier entry into the market. As more people come into the markets more and more wholesalers are raising their commission so as to take advantage of the newbies who are coming with cash in hand to make deals.

    there is so much to learn when it comes to real estate investing and for the new person or even a seasoned veteran it can be overwhelming. Take advantage of the resources available and build your knowledge whether it be with a group:

    or whether on your own:

    Pros and Cons of Flipping Houses

    Pros and Cons of Flipping Houses

    There are many great questions to ask when it comes to real estate investing and one of the many that you should consider if you are thinking of flipping houses for your real estate investment is: why? Why flip houses? It certainly seems as though it's a great deal of work and it is. It isn't an easy task to take upon your own shoulders and yet many people around the world purchase houses each and every day for the purpose of flipping those houses. Why? Profit is the long and the short answer, but it goes much deeper than that for many who are interested in flipping houses even if profit is the ultimate goal.

    If you have watched countless shows on television about flipping houses and making tons of money in a truly short amount of time you've probably thought to yourself that you could do that and possibly wondered why you haven't. If you are considering entering the world of real estate investing through the role of one who flips houses there are a few pros and cons that you might want to carefully consider before taking the plunge.

    Epi03 Golden Ticket - Buying Properties "Subject To"

    Epi03 Golden Ticket - Buying Properties "Subject To"

    We all want to find that magic formula that we can use time and time again. Buying a house or property subject to the existing mortgage note actually means a seller of a property is agreeing to sell to you or your entity a real estate property and they are agreeing to transfer the title or the deed or ownership to you while also agreeing to leave the current mortgage in their name, and you agree to make their payments. This is that GOLDEN TICKET strategy that you have been looking for. People think that it is difficult or that it cannot be done, but you are WRONG!

    Now just to make clarity on a point, we're not talking about assuming a mortgage because when you assume a mortgage then the mortgage lender has got to approve for you to now assume the mortgage so in the case of buying subjective to the existing note the mortgage lender is not involved whatsoever in approving or disapproving or turning you down or saying it's okay for you to make the payments so you see since you’re buying subject to, that mortgage is going to stay in the seller's name. 

    When I first heard of this strategy way back in 2000 my first question was who in their right mind will agree to leave the mortgage in their name and trust me to make their monthly payments for them? It's like I could stop making payments and you know ruin their credit or whatever. I mean why would someone agree to do that, and I quickly learned and discovered that the higher the motivation that a seller has to sell then the more willing that they will be to agree to this strategy.
