I appreciate your passion and know you will do well.Thanks for the info.

These videos really underscore how real estate crowdfunding is taking off.  

They are short videos and cover many of the issues that catch the regulators' attention as well as what they view is proper.

In another complex, he had video cameras up throughout the complex, and when a large fight broke out in the parking lot, he evicted all the tenants involved in the fight.

v=HZUqPT2A6k0 most of what you see in this video can be achieved for $1,500.00 +- and the impact is very impressive.  

You cannot beat that guy or his real estate agent.You must market for motivated sellers and attract unlisted properties where the owner sees the benefit of taking a cash offer rather than putting their house on the market, which could require them to make costly repairs with $ they don't have.I like 3 methods for reaching the off-market, motivated seller:1) Direct mail, to people WITH EQUITY, especially absentee owners2) AdWords (Google Search marketing)3) Outdoor (billboards, bandit signs, bus signage, etc. etc.)Click on my FACE in this post and watch the video in my user profile here on BP - it's called "The Search for Motivated Sellers".  ;-)  This is THE #1 CHALLENGE for all of us.  

I also use a safety app called B Safe You (I'm not an affiliate) that enables you to broadcast your location at all times to your friends/family and has an alarm feature that, when pressed, sounds an alarm, immediately calls your #1 contact, and records video & audio of what's happening.

Is the video posted anywhere? 

I have had a strong passion and interest in real estate for about 8 years now and I'm to the point in my life where I'm ready to step out on faith and get involved in something I have a passion and interest in.
