What do Fishing and Real Estate Have in Common?
Posted on May 2, 2016 byOne day I wanted to go fishing to a new spot. I knew where it was but had no clue as to how to get there from where I was at the time. I could have used a GPS if I had the address. I could use technology but Google maps needs to know the general area where I wanted to go. Another option, I could just ride out in the general direction and hope to see something I recognized. I could go old school and get a folded map. My time is money so I needed to go out there and get the fishing done, have my fun and relax. Then get back in time to meet my coaching clients for a discussion of how to create inventory fast, efficiently (low effort high return), and effectively (cost effectively). I needed the most direct route to get to the fishing spot with no time to loose, which maximizes my efforts and gets to the sweet honey fishing hole fast. I chose the old tried and true method. It would get me there. The good news was the map was only 12 years old.
Well the fishing was great and the method of maximizing the fun worked. You are asking yourself “why do I care about your fishing”? Because fishing is similar to creating inventory! You must do the right presentation to get the fish to be interested in what you have to offer and catch the fish or land the deal. So if you are offering cash to the seller, they might be interested unless they have a big tax liability, have done a loan modification, and have 2 years before they can sell. If you offer fair market price in cash the owner will definitely be interested (however you will not be able to sell it or turn a profit). I use artificial bait when I fish (creative financing). I also do catch and release (wholesale). It takes a certain magic to look like the real thing, smell like the real thing, and get the fish to strike (close the opportunity and get paid)! Read More→

Paul Rossano is a devoted student and teacher of success and embraces a philosophy of constant and never-ending improvement in all areas of life.
Paul began his real estate and entrepreneurial career at the age of 21, and over the past 19 years he’s been involved in hundreds of residential and commercial real estate transactions and started several tech companies.
While he’s certainly had his fair share of success, Paul’s career was a roller coaster of ups and downs until he met George Antone in 2012.
After experiencing George’s trainings, Paul quickly realized this newfound knowledge was the missing link between the financial freedom he wanted, and the financial slavery he had been experiencing for so many years.
From that point forward Paul made it his mission to share George’s training with as many people as possible so they can experience the peace of mind and confidence that comes with financial freedom and abundance.
The unique combination of George Antone’s brilliant financial training and Paul’s speaking skills and real-world experience has allowed him to become a top trainer for George’s company Fynanc where he now helps investors and working professional everywhere create the financial success they desire and deserve.

Watch the Webinar Replay
with Don DeRosa
Don DeRosa is a part time real estate investor trainer and mentor and full-time real estate investor who actively buys, sells and holds properties each month for fun, profit and long term cash flow.
The topic of our next webinar is “Wholesaling Houses” which is the business of buying houses in need of major repairs at really low prices and selling them to other “fix and flip” or “buy and hold” investors at wholesale prices. In other words, finding bargains for bargain hunters.
Wholesaling is a great strategy for making quick cash with very low risk and without using any of your own cash, income or credit. Because of this, wholesaling real estate is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get started investing in real estate because anyone can do it with a little training and effort.
If you want to learn more about Wholesaling, watch this Webinar Replay we recorded live with Don DeRosa on April 13th, 2016 where he shared the Wholesaling Strategies you need to succeed and take you step-by-step through the entire wholesale process. Watch the Webinar Replay Now! Read More→
