Constance, Milwaukee, WI "Can you recommend a good crowd-funding real estate site?"
De'Andre, Atlanta, GA "What is co-wholesaling and is it even legal?"
Phillip, Long Beach, CA "I have a property that I want to buy and flip with my self-directed IRA. I'm about 10k short of what I need to get it fixed. Can I use my own money to fill the gap?"
Jeffrey, Anderson, IN "Someone told me I shouldn't have all my properties held by my corporation. I'm wondering why. Right now I have 8 rentals and I'm flipping 3 or 4 houses per year. I thought the corporate protection is all I needed."
Carly, Cleveland, TN "I met you when you were speaking in Chattanooga, although you may not remember me. My husband just finished his first rehab and went over budget. It turns out that your formula nailed his budget exactly. But now we don't remember the formula."

Private Lending Q&A

The Basic Buying Rules Mar 25, 2018

Show notes

FAR 112 Expected Air Date: 01/25/18 Opening: Hello everyone. I am Roger Blankenship and I teach people how to make money in Real Estate. Today we are going back to the basics. People seem to be coming out of the woodwork asking questions about getting started as active real estate investors. Today we are going to cover the basic buying rules. I've got a formula I've used for years in buying flips. If you've had any training at all on the subject, the formula may be familiar to you, but I'm going to explain the reasoning behind it and why you should not violate this rule - meaning pay too much for the property. Then I'm going to give you a couple of formulas for buying rentals and connect them to capitalization rate. All that is just ahead. Heads up! You can get this information in video form by subscribing to the Network! We are getting a ton of questions about private lending as well so we are going to cover that topic Saturday. And sandwiched in-between... If you're in the Atlanta area, plan to come out tomorrow morning to hear Roger Herring in person as he covers tax reform and its implications for us. I'm looking forward to being there. Send an email to ajohnson@investorsaccounting.com and Roger's assistant will send you what you need to get in. Announcements:

Tangie Cousins, foreclosuresdaily.com, Marketing Lists! Mar 25, 2018

Show notes

FAR 109 Expected Air Date: 01/18/17 Opening: Hello everyone. I am Roger Blankenship and I teach people how to make money in Real Estate. Today we have Tangie Cousins visiting with us. Tangie is a Senior Account Manager for ForeclosuresDaily.com. She's been with the company since they started more than 14 years ago. If you want to be an investor you need inventory. And if you want inventory the best source is the seller who has not yet listed their property. ForeclosuresDaily.com is a place to get direct access to these people. It may be someone who has moved away, or someone who has inherited a property, or someone who is struggling and is in the foreclosure process. We will speak with Tangie in just a few moments, but first let's do the news! Bitcoin and crypto-currency are leading off today with two stories. I think it's mostly hype and i'm not alone in that thinking, but I feel duty-bound to bring you the stories anyway. Announcements:

Eighty Five Ways to Make Money in Real Estate Mar 25, 2018

Show notes

FAR 108 Expected Air Date: 01/15/17 Opening: Back by popular demand, we are going to discuss again today the 85 ways to make money in real estate. There are sub-categories and sub-sub tactics and methods, but these are the 85 major ways. We tried for a list of 100, but after 85 we were repeating ourselves. This time around we are organizing the ways a bit. Here's a helpful insight: Although there are 85 ways to make money, they all fall into one of five categories:

Active Buying and Selling
Buying and holding for cash flow and equity development
Passive investing through lending or equity share purchases.
Marketing real estate
Vendor or supplier

Ron, Jacksonville, FL "Did I hear you say it's a bad idea to buy a rental property from a full-service company that provides the rented house for you and financing if you need it?"
Deann, Atlanta, GA. "I go through the process you have described and end up with a maximum offer far less than the price the seller is asking. Should I just go ahead and make the offer? It seems like possibly a waste of time - both mine and the sellers."
- If an individual from your marketing, sit down and show them the numbers. Then make the offer. Tony's illustration of the tow truck...
- If a bank or a HUD house, make the offer.
Max, Chattanooga, TN "Please go over how many offers I need to make in order to buy one house per month. It doesn't seem like I have enough time to do this part time."
Sharon, Clearwater, FL "I appreciated so much what you shared on the show last Saturday. My husband and I retired to Clearwater in 2006 and took our life savings and invested in real estate here. We thought we couldn't miss, but boy did we ever. We lost almost everything. Your words were very encouraging. We've been trying to get re-started but both had to go back to work part-time to maintain our modest lifestyle here. We are still interested in real estate, but need some guidance on how to get started."

Topics:

Eighty Five Ways to Make Money in Real Estate
There is overlap and many of them are similar. Some items are more of a source for deal flow than a separate strategy. We create another item if the skill set or knowledge required is significantly different. None of them will be radically different, but each area or source has a different twist.
This was the topic for show number 80, but we have taken the list a little further and deeper by grouping the list into five broad categories:
- Active Build or Repair and Sell. Items will fall into this category if you buy with the intent of adding value by any means (not always repairs) and re-selling within one year.
- Active Buy and Hold. These are investments made with the intent to create cash flow.
- Passive. You put up the money and it creates income for you. No tenants, toilets, contractors. Just the money.
- Marketing. This includes all real estate related marketing jobs, which is more than simply being a Realtor
- Vendor. Provide goods or services to real estate investors and the real estate community.

Edgar from Lancaster, PA, "Great show. Can you explain hard money to me and perhaps connect me with a hard money lender?"
Samantha from Long Beach, CA "I'm following up with your prediction about the prices cooling off here on the west coast. I'm not sure what this means we should do as investors. My husband and I are looking to fix and flip."
- Every market is local.
- Watch days on market, drill down to very local markets and price ranges.
Bridgette, Columbia, SC "I heard you mention that Columbia is one of the very few areas in the US that was not a hot market in 2017. What do you see in your crystal ball for 2018 and how should I approach my fix and flip business in the coming year? You are right - the market is balanced and I'm able to find quite a few properties here, but some of them are pretty rough."
Deann, Atlanta, GA. "I go through the process you have described and end up with a maximum offer far less than the price the seller is asking. Should I just go ahead and make the offer? It seems like possibly a waste of time - both mine and the sellers."
