How to Make Risk-Free Money with Option Agreements
Posted on June 5, 2011 by
It’s amazing all the ways you, as a real estate investor, can make money in this market. The problem is, real estate investors – including me – get stuck in a rut using the same old deal-structuring technique over and over.
The real estate market is continually changing. This means the deal-structuring techniques you use must change with it. Think of it this way: You would be foolish to only have a big, dang hammer in your deal-structuring toolbox. True, sometimes the job calls for a big dang hammer, but often as not, another tool suits the job better.
Let’s talk about a technique that is working well for us in this market. It’s called the Option Agreement technique. To better describe this technique, here’s an example of one of our real-world deals. Read More→

Use What You Have To Get What You Want
Posted on June 2, 2011 by
Years ago, Pete Fortunato, one of our primary real estate investing teachers since 1999 (and the BEST creative deal structurer I know), taught us a lesson that has been critical to our success. He said, “In order to create solid win-win deals, use what you have, to get what you need, to get what you want.”
When you read the above quote, you probably said to yourself, “What is Pete talking about?” Do this: Write down his quote, and then get with some other like-minded folks and discuss it. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how deep the discussion goes. Read More→

Posted on May 30, 2011 by
Wholesaling is a great strategy for making quick cash, low risk, without the use of your credit, income, or money when done correctly. Wholesaling real estate is among the most popular investment strategies because anyone can do it — you don’t need a real estate license or a lot of money to start. And once you start, it’s nearly impossible to keep the money from pouring into your bank account.
This is the Atlanta REIA Wholesale 401 Workshop taught by Russ Hiner. We will teach you the 2011 wholesale strategies you need to succeed. There is no need for you to have money out of your pocket or credit, you do no repairs or work yourself and they are usually done in a few days or weeks.
We will take you step by step through the entire process of how to Wholesale real estate. All applicable forms and agreements with filled out examples are included.
The best part about wholesaling properties is that you don’t get bogged down with tenants, toilets, or holding costs. It’s all about finding a motivated seller, then selling them to motivated buyers for instant profit and moving on to the next big score. Find out how to get in on the action before it’s too late… register today!
