How Millionaire Investors Find the Best Deals
Posted on June 25, 2012 byEver wondered how millionaire investors find the most profitable deals? Satisfy your curiosity and save yourself time, effort, and loads of cash by consuming these five fundamentals that millionaire marketers use to gain massive wealth & prestige.
1. Don’t get caught up in the “BIG PICTURE”
Stay focused on your marketing. One of the biggest mistakes professionals make is they start to believe that they’re only a doctor or lawyer or mechanic. They forget that their number-one responsibility is marketing. Without marketing, there are no patients to see, clients to advise, or cars to work on. Smart business owners know how to market their product or service and are successful at doing it. You must constantly market your business if you wish to be successful. Constant marketing of your business is how you find the best deals.
To begin marketing you must first identify all the various methods to market in your area, how much they cost, and whether they even work. Learning what methods not only work, but are most cost effective can cost you thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars through trial and error. Read More→

Cash Flow Real Estate in Your IRA? You Betcha!
The folks on TV talk a lot about the importance of funding your IRA – and they’re always on about investing in stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Some of the more conservative pundits also mention annuities and CDs. But what if you’re not thrilled with the prospects for return in any of these assets?
After all, interest rates are still near record lows all along the length of the yield curve, and bonds may well not even keep up with inflation. Stocks, as an asset class, are limited by a slow outlook for growth – and stock dividends are nowhere near what they were a generation ago. Mutual funds? Well, you can’t get blood out of a stone. Fund returns are limited by the opportunities in the asset classes from which they come.
One option that is less well-known is this: Investing in real estate within your IRA. The tax code doesn’t restrict you to stocks, bonds, annuities and CDs in your IRA or any other retirement fund. In fact, with just a few restrictions on investing in life insurance, jewelry, gemstones, collectibles and certain forms of precious metals, you can take advantage of tax deferral in an IRA to invest in almost anything you can imagine.

How to Automate Your Business by Capturing Calls 24/7 with Voice Mail & Live Answering Systems
Posted on June 19, 2012 byMost savvy real estate investors and business owners agree that the bulk of their business relies on effective marketing to produce a steady flow of leads. But what happens when you learn to market well and your phone starts ringing at all hours, day or night? What’s next?
The next step is to capture information from those callers so that you can follow-up with them and convert them from “suspects” into real “prospects”. When a potential customer calls, you can have a pre-recorded message that informs them about your business and urges them to leave a brief voice mail message. You can also allow them to press “0” to speak to a live person 24/7 who can capture more useful information rather than just a name, number and brief message.
Eric Shurke, of Voice Nation, will be our special guest speaker at the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, June 20th at 6:30 PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, in Buford, GA. Eric will be talking about how successful real estate investors leverage automated voice mail systems and live answering specialists to capture leads 24/7 effortlessly so they can work smarter and not harder to earn more money.

Where Best To Invest $93,000
Posted on June 18, 2012 by
Many folks who get into real estate investing say they’re doing it for the money. The truth is, no one does anything for the money – NO ONE!
When you’re done scratching your head, think about this: If you give someone $100,000 cash, would that person simply put the money on the table and stare at it for the next 30 years? Of course not! People don’t want money. They want the things money can buy.
Let’s say that today you’re given a big pot of money. What would you do with it? Too many folks (broke folks) would rush out and trade their pot of money for a shiny red thing that honks and drops like a rock in value. They mistakenly think that if they’re seen in a fancy red car, their “friends” will be impressed and think they’re rich. Read More→

Thank You Larry Harbolt for the Great Class on Creative Deal Structuring!
Posted on June 11, 2012 byHello everyone,
What did you think about the fantastic job Larry Harbolt did for us on Saturday teaching how to structure deals creatively without going to the bank? Were the creative strategies he taught us great or what?!? After the day was over, I read the reviews given by those who attended and they said that what he showed us was not only GREAT information, but that it was NEW information many had never heard of before! He gave us information you can’t get anywhere else no matter what you have to pay for it. The strategies he taught are how the true “masters” of real estate investing do it.
Today, after some thought, I can see, even with the notes we were able to take in our short time together and for those who didn’t get his system, it is going to be nearly impossible to be able to remember all of the important details to put together some of the truly creative transactions he taught us without having Larry walk you through every step of the process.
I know from experience, if we don’t have the important details that are so essential to do profitable deals, you won’t be able to make the kind of money we all know is possible. Because Larry only had enough time to give us a snap-short of how to structure creative real estate deals, he didn’t have enough time to show us all of the details of everything we need. That’s why he teaches those much needed details in his home study courses and 4 day boot camps. Read More→
