real estate investing: Attracting and Working with Real Estate Investors
- 01/15/10 01:54 AM
Donald Trump wasn’t available next Tuesday, January 19th, 2010, from 1-4p to teach the Attracting and Working with Real Estate Investors class in Mesa, Arizona so I was asked to speak on this subject in his absence. This is a brand new class being offered through the Arizona Academy of Real Estate and it’s worth 3 hours of Agency if you’re a Realtor. If you’re not a Realtor you’re still welcome to join us. We don’t bite and I promise you’ll learn something. I can also guarantee it will be more interesting than a mold remediation class (no offense intended to … (1 comments)
real estate investing: Junk Drawer Real Estate Investing
- 01/04/10 04:42 AM
"Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity.” – Earl Nightingale Everyone has a junk drawer. It contains the pens, pencils, paper clips, AA batteries, loose change, TV remotes, etc. And, if you’re like me and have daughters it also has pink hair clips, Barbie doll accessories and Peter Piper Pizza game tokens. I love my junk drawer, a household melting pot of stuff, a place for everything I don’t have a drawer for. What does this have to do with real estate investing? I have met many newbie, would-be, so-called, part-time, full-time and yes, even sophisticated investors that use this … (2 comments)
real estate investing: The Man Who Mentored a Billionaire
- 11/20/09 02:31 AM
As a boy my interests were in sports, music and movies. I had this rotating dream of being like Dan Fouts of the San Diego Chargers, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Harrison Ford from the Indiana Jones films. How wonderful to be as wealthy and famous as these guys! But did I ever play football? Very little. What about learning the guitar and taking voice lessons? Of course not. As for acting? I never enrolled in a single drama class. These weren’t real goals of mine, they were whims. Like most people I just dreamt of being great. Consequently, I spent … (4 comments)
real estate investing: Bandit Signs: Ugly, Unprofessional and Illegal
- 11/12/09 03:08 AM
Fresh out of my very first real estate investment seminar in 2001 I went directly into the local print shop and had 50 ‘We Buy Houses’ signs made up. Al Lowery, the instructor, promised that these signs would generate hundreds of calls from desperate, motivated homeowners. Early one morning I put every one of these signs in the ground at some of the busiest intersections in the city. Because I’m a good student I also had a ‘We Buy Houses’ sticker put on the back of my SUV and placed a ‘We Buy Houses’ ad in the local newspaper. I learned … (13 comments)
real estate investing: Dress for the Business You Want, Not the Business You Have
- 11/09/09 05:25 AM
I worked in TV news for 15 years before I got into real estate. I was commonly referred to as the “cameraman”, but I liked the title “photojournalist” much better. Because I was behind the scenes the dress code wasn’t nearly as strict as it was for the on-air “talent”. Many of my colleagues chose to dress down every day, probably because it was cooler and certainly more comfortable. One day a tape editor came in to the station wearing his pajamas. Can you think of many jobs that pay more than $8 an hour and allow you to wear a … (9 comments)
