When I first started Real Estate Investing I went into the front door of my local bank and asked them for a personal  loan for a car and they laughed at me, so I then went in the back door through the foreclosure department and brought and sold a house and made $15k, no loan payment, I laughed all the way to the front door of the same bank to deposit my no monthly payment check, this is how I got the bug and started in Real Estate

There is a million dollars to be picked up in your town, ya just have to know how and where it is,  legally of course.

There are so many off tracks errors you can make and one will put you out of business, Ego being the number 1, if you have an ego, you will lose period!! You have to be open minded a business person, keeping ego in the gym and emotions for family, in the office you are a fair all win business professional , Rambo deal maker!

Every deal is different, and every one is structured to design the best solution and goals, the last bad moves by a local investor was to pay to much for foreclosures, structure the buy to sell to end buyer rewards off track, they paid too much for the house, less profits, lots of work so the winner is the end investor and bank as they get rewards for not much work, they paid 10k too much and they have another buy 22 unit deal , paid 50% too much, buying homes is work, I mean you have to know how to get big money off the banks, as they play games, they play on them games to win, do not think beating out another investor is winning, as the bank then at lunch says that fool paid us just 5k under what we asked and has to do all the work, ha, ha,

Every deal is different but this is one of the biggest mistakes :)

Thank You Jerry! :)

It is not about the houses, no one wants a load of bricks in the back the Mercedes, it is about the money!

30 years representing investors in trouble, correct price deals with  proper structuring is what I do Joe, plus help people get into homes with regular mortgages and interest rates or knowledge of when they can buy and what to do now if they have issue credit, help investors and communities

98% of investors pay too much for deals and use emotion to do deals, many structure them wrong and always are chasing cats and dogs!
