How Awesome Are YOU?
Friday, March 5th, 2010 | Uncategorized | 22 Comments
I’m sitting here having breakfast with the team and staff at Strategic Real Estate Coach. But I wanted to step away for a second and send you this quick message.
Over the last two days we’ve been having our quarterly company meeting off-site and I wanted to fill you in on our main topic of discussion…
YOU!!!
The meeting is open forum style, where our team has the floor.
Two things so far really stood out.
First, was the Awesome Report…
We went around the room and shared what happened in the last week or so that was truly awesome. And I’m not talking about in our business, but in our lives.
It’s unbelievable how great it feels to share in everyone’s really good news – a perfect start to the meeting, and a great way to bring us all together as a family.
The second big thing just amazed me.
And that’s how incredible each and every conversation about growing our company keeps going back to the subject of how we can provide YOU with a better, higher-quality experience and how each of us can support YOU more to reach your goals and dreams as a real estate investor.
So with that said, I wanted to ask you two direct questions…
What’s AWESOME in your life right now?
And what can my company and I do to help support you more, and help you reach your goals?
If you could do me a HUGE favor and leave me a comment (below) with the answers to those questions.
It would really make a huge impact to help us to support YOU better.
***Now before I let you go I also wanted to let you know that tomorrow afternoon we’re holding an encore presentation of last night’s training call. We had such great feedback we’ve decided to do it again.
Get on the call and find out how you can be one of my local Apprentice Partners and how we can do deals together in your area.

Making Informed Estimates Means Not Having to Rehab Your Profits
Friday, March 5th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Succeeding in life is often about making solid, informed decisions. The same is true with real estate investing. If you can understand the difference that a smart decision can make, you’ll be able to watch your business – and your profits – grow. Estimating the cost of repairs is one area of real estate investing that can separate the profits from the losses. Underestimating the cost of repairs is a very common mistake that novice real estate investors make. Don’t fall into this trap! Ok, that sounds simple enough, right? But how do you actually prevent repair costs from eating into your profits? Do your homework.

Editor’s Note: Why is everything “unexpected”???
By Bob Willis
Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) — Sales of new homes in the U.S. unexpectedly fell in January to the lowest level on record, a sign that an extension of a government tax credit may not be enough to rekindle demand.
Purchases declined 11 percent to an annual pace of 309,000, below the lowest forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of economists, from a 348,000 pace, figures from the Commerce Department showed today in Washington. The median sales price dropped 2.4 percent from January 2009 and the supply of unsold homes increased.

Volcker: Fannie & Freddie a Bad Idea
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | Uncategorized | Comments Off
From The Huffington Post:
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker said the nation’s home mortgage market is in trouble and will have to be “reconstructed.”
“It’s totally dependent, heavily dependent on government participation,” Volcker said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “It shouldn’t be that way. That’s going to have to be reconstructed.”
