DC Maryland and VA Real Estate Investors Need to Focus!


Hello DC MD and VA Real Estate Investors,

Fous on what is the questions.

I received an email from one of my students today. She was talking about how she was depressed and felt as if this wasn't going right and that wasn't going right and she just doesn't have all the things that she thought that she would have at this point in her life.

Well, how many of us have had at least one of these thoughts at some point in our lives. The fact is that sometimes life seems to get in the way and doesn't seem to cooperate with what we have in mind. We all have daily challenges some larger than others. So, what do you do when you are feeling this way.

This is when you have to have control over your mind. Any and everything that you focus on WILL increase! So what have you been focusing on? If you want more stress and aggravation, then continue to focus on the unpaid bill, the failed relationship, the car accident, the burnt dinner, the pimple on your nose (lol)...you get the point.

I know this is so much easier said than done but you must master this skill in order to not only make wise decisions but follow thru with completing them.

When you feel yourself focusing on situations, people or anything that will not cause a positive outcome or stress free feeling, stop and intentionally focus on what will make you happy and direct you towards your goal.

Am I saying to forget about your responsibilities and just do what makes you feel good...of course not! What I am saying is that if you open your mind to positive thoughts and images, you will find solutions to things that you thought were once impossible to conquer.

This is your assignment for tomorrow. Let me know how it worked for you.

Valarie

DC MD & VA Real Estate Investing Club Grand Opening was Awesome!


DC Maryland and VA Real Estate Investors had and Awesome Time at DMV REIA!

Hello Everyone!

I am still so pumped about yesterday's grand opening. It was absolutely amazing! I want to thank all of you who came out and made this such a wonderful event.

We had over 125 real estate professionals show up and everyone who was there was ready to network, share and learn. From day one, all of you fully accepted the motto"Where Real Estate Investors Work Together For The Success of Us ALL!" People were sharing marketing ideas, rehabbing ideas, exchanging contact information, etc. It was as if, this was what we were all waiting for...an open forum to network, share and grow where everyone is welcome!

Dante and I may not have said it yesterday but we consider this REIA to be all of ours. We may organize it but everyone who was there made it the great event that it was. We want your suggestions, we want you to participate and share your deals, we want you to work with the DMV REIA investor agents. We want everyone to come to the meeting ready to support their fellow real estate professionals. If we all have this goal, the growth in our businesses and OUR REIA will be phenomenal!

If you were not there, you truly missed something special.....but don't worry....EVERY DMV REIA meeting is going to have this spark and energy.
I won't miss the next DMV REIA meeting!

We collected over 50 blankets for the Covenant House! Isn't it wonderful that DMV REIA members were able to help homeless youth and we can't wait to do it again in June?

We have 80 new DMV REIA members ready to "Work together for the success of us ALL!".

We received so many compliments from all of you. We are so happy that you were pleased and your needs as a real estate investor are going to be met. This is the only thing we ask of you. The more real estate professionals that we have in our network the more support for all of our businesses. We need you to spread the word about your new REIA...bring a friend or forward an email. When you receive the ratings email, let everyone know about the wonderful experience you had at the meeting in the comment box. Investors are looking for a place like this and just don't know where to find it.

We can't wait to see you next month. You can RSVP now by clicking the link below if you'd like to.

Valarie and I truly appreciate ALL of the support and encouragement we’ve received via emails and phone calls. We really do appreciate it because a lot of work and effort has gone into what we are doing.

We are serious about this and serious about providing an environment where you, the real estate investor can truly be successful. We cater to real estate investors from newbies to veterans.

We need you to help make a difference and bring a blanket to help the cause of providing warmth for those youth...

No Cash No Credit Short Sale and REO Funding For Real Estate Investors Nationwide!

No Cash No Credit Short Sale and REO Funding For Real Estate Investors Nationwide!

You are provided with a Proof of Funds Letter which allows you to do a double close and earn instant cash profits on closings.

Here’s how it works: Line up a short sale, REO or any double close purchase then use our investor’s funds to buy the home and flip it to your ready buyer.

Why do some excel in Real Estate while others struggle?

Are you a leader in the Real Estate Industry?
Are you a leader at anything?

I know you are asking "What does that have to do with excelling in the Real Estate Industry?" Actually, this has everything to do with excelling in life.

Your ability to lead will determine how far you go in life.

"Well, I never really thought about being a leader...I just want to make alot of money in real estate"...Is this what you are saying?

First, ask yourself..."What is a leader?"
- someone who tells everybody else what to do...lol
- someone who leads by example...(we've all heard that before)
- someone with a good heart...

You can have all these qualities and not be a leader. Some of you are greater leaders than you realize and others of you who think you are leaders are not.

A leader is simply someone who can get others to follow. That's it, nothing more nothing less.

In order to be successful in real estate or any other industry, you must have people who are willing to follow you and be influenced by you. Don't let this statement be something that makes you nervous or discourages you. Anyone can become a good leader if they have a genuine desire to do so (some easier than others...no, just kidding). We all can be great leaders and influencers.

Now in the definition that I provided, you can be a leader that has influence in a negative or positive manner. This is where your character and moral fiber will determine the route you take. Just remember you are always influencing someone and someone is always influencing you.

There are two main things needed to be a great leader (the positive leader).

1. true concern for others
2. knowledge to share


True Concern For Others

You can kick, scream, holler and do back flips but if someone doesn't want to follow you or recognize your leadership they won't. Leadership has nothing to do with position or ranking to have true followers. "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!" If you are only involved with people to make money or use them in some other way, it will eventually show. You will lose your support. We all need and want more clients, but try to change your focus. It's so easy to pull out the calculator and say if I had more clients I would make this much and that much. Yes, that is exciting; however, if you pull out your calculator and ask what can I make FOR my client you will never have a shortage.

Knowledge to Share

Now we said..."People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." This leads to the second important factor. What do you really know? What can you offer that they can't get from any other real estate professional. You will get people to follow you for a while just because you care but if you can't solve their problem or teach them something...again you will lose your support. You have to be willing to get a mentor, read, and study. You must become an expert in the Real Estate Industry. There is a second part to this. Once you have specialized knowledge, you can't just use it to benefit yourself. You have to be willing to share it with others for their success. Once you reach this level you will become a true leader in any area you desire.

Success is inevitable!

"Quit Real Estate Investing!" That's What They Said Until I Showed Them My "Never Say Die" Investing System MD/DC/VA


Never Ever Quit.......Never Say Die........Never


Investors,


I know that many of you are ready to throw in the towel. Your mind says "Maybe this just isn't for me....I think I just missed the time to get into to real estate investing. Then your closest friends say "You are just wasting your time...it's time to move on....you gave it your best shoot...you can't say you didn't try" Does this sound familiar?


No matter what you decide to do in life, there are going to be obstacles, dry times, and times where it seems as though nothing is going your way. There is no way to avoid this. You must hold your position until you have the strength to move forward. Never go backwards. Now you have to be wise when you are a real estate investor or anything else. If what your are doing isn't working, try a different angle. Find another way to support your ultimate goal. This way you're not quitting. You are just taking a different means to an end. If you were flipping homes, master wholesaling. If you were wholesaling, master how to do lease options or shortsales. You must always be willing to increase your knowledge in order to move with the market demands.


If you analyze anyone who is where you want to be or anyone who you look at as a mentor, they have gone through major trials. If they had given up, you would not admire what they have accomplished.


There are certain things that you must do to remain on course through rough times in the real estate investing business.


1. Don't focus on what is going wrong.


If you focus on what is wrong with your business, that is all that you will see. Focus on the one thing that is positive and build on that.


2. Stay connected to a mentor.


I know that you have heard the saying "Nothing is new under the sun". We normally tell this to our children. Well, the same holds true with real estate investing. Someone has already dealt with the challenge that you are having. Learn as much as you can from their mistakes.


3. Education yourself.


Education is invaluable. Always keep yourself abreast of new terminology, new funding sources, new creative ways of financing. There are so many ways to do more than just survive in this industry. Commit to paying for some type of education on a monthly basis. It can be coaching, seminars, classes or tapes as long as you are always increasing your knowledge.


4. Pass it on


When you are doing well, always be willing to help the person coming behind you. There are so many shady investors. We need as many ethical investors to support one another as we can find. Helping someone else always ends up helping you in the end!


Everything has a time and a purpose. The sooner you figure out what the purpose of the time you are in - the sooner you will move on to a new one.


You Can Survive As A Real Estate Investor!


Blessings to your Real Estate Investing Career

Why Haven't YOU Invested in Real Estate? (DC/MD/VA)

Why haven't YOU Invested in Real Estate?

You always wanted to....You know that wealth is in real estate....so what is stopping you!

Well, I'll tell you what is holding back most new investors that I meet " I DON'T WANNA LOSE MY MONEY!"....Does that sound familiar? Everything is new for you so you are not confident in your decisions regarding what property to purchase. Well, that's what I'm here for so just sit back, keep reading and learning and when you are ready, I'll be here to guide you.

The first thing that you should know is that you don't have to have the perfect deal for a real estate deal to make money for you. Don't pass by good deals waiting for the perfect flawless deal. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret...."There's no such thing".

No one says it better than Nike "Just Do It". You will never reap the benefits of investing in real estate until you....invest in real estate.

The main blockers for new real estate investors are:


  1. afraid of risk

  2. afraid of maintenance and repairs

  3. afraid of vacancies

Let dissect these fears:

Afraid of Risk

"YOU WILL NEVER EVER FIND A RISK-FREE INVESTMENT!" Some of you want no risk. If this is what you want, you don't want to make any money anywhere. Just put your money in your ceramic pink piggy bank but watch out for Mr. Inflation because he'll eat away at that with out a sound. If you follow the advice that I gave you before about investing in Metropolitan areas, good rental market areas, stable market areas and low median areas, you are already reducing your investment risk. You also want to invest in fairly good neighborhoods. Pay attention to safety, schools, shopping etc. In decent neighborhoods, your tenants tend to stay longer, pay on time and take better care of the property.


Afraid of Maintenance and Repairs

Just because you own the property doesn't make you and automatic handy man. Hire a property management company. Your time is more valuable than touch up paint, plumbing and carpeting. We hire professionals for everything else. It's worth it!


Afraid of Vacancies

If you take my advice and invest in a good neighborhood in a good market, vacancies are very unlikely. Normally, if your house is not renting the problem is the owner. It's not that there isn't anyone to rent to...you are asking to much. Think long term. It better to occupy your property for a little less than to pay a mortgage on a vacant property. You can always gradually raise the price of your rent and end up getting what you want. Even if you have a negative cash flow at first, the tax benefits will offset this.

Hopefully, this has helped ease some of your fears regarding investing. It's time to start securing your financial future with real estate investing.

Blessings to your real estate investing,

Caution: Read This Before Investing In Real Estate!


Caution: Read This Before Investing in Real Estate

Many investors are hesitant about investing in this market. If you watch the news or read the paper, reports would have you believing that the sky is falling. Well, the sky falling should be the ONLY reason why you would be leery about investing in real estate. The question is not "Should I invest in real estate right now?" it's "Where do I invest in real estate right now?"





There are four key factors when deciding where to invest in real estate:



  1. Metropolitan Area

  2. Good Rental Market

  3. Low Median Price

  4. Stable Market


Let's look at each of these key factors a little closer.



Metropolitan Area



A metropolitan area offers a wide variety of possible tenants. The last thing you want is a great VACANT property. Small towns often only have one source of employment. If that company closes, so does your rental market. Larger areas also offer a great selection of property management companies so if you are to busy to play landlord you have options.



Good Rental Market



A good rental market has single family homes that keep up with or surpass the amount of the mortgage payment. This does not mean that a property with a temporary negative cash flow doesn't still make a good investment in the long run.



Low Median Price



You want to purchase most of your investment properties in the median range. This should keep you mortgage payment below what you can reasonably ask for in rent. You also want to avoid jumbo loans. Jumbo loans ask investors to put down 25% on non-owner occupied homes. This can tie up to much of your cash that you could be using for another investment.



Stable Market



Believe it or not you don't want to invest in a booming market. During a booming market, there are many offers being made on one property. You have to compete with to many buyers. This drives up the prices for the houses and you don't get the best deals. You want to buy in an area that simply has a steady rise in market prices. It doesn't have to be rapid.



Blessing to Your Real Estate Investing,

Real Estate Investing vs. Stock Market Investing

Breaking Investment Discovery
Invest in the Real Estate Market or the Stock Market?
Everyone should have a well rounded financial portfolio. This means that you should at least have some investments in the stock market. Over the past years the stock market does appear to have kept up with the rate of inflation; however, investment in real estate is a far more stable investment.
The stock market has made many people wealthy. The problem with the stock market is that profits can be wiped away in the blink of an eyes. An unexpected drop in the stock market can destroy an investors portfolio. If you have a large percentage of your investments in the stock market you must move a large portion of your investments into a more stable real estate investment.
One of the greatest benefits of investing in the real estate market is the leveraging opportunity. With real estate investing, you can leverage your investment 10 to 1. With stock market investments, you can only leverage your money 2 to 1.
What does leveraging your money mean?
When you leverage money, it means that you can use the money of someone else to raise money. Just like a lever raises something up, in real estate, you can leverage money 10 to 1. If you have $10,000, you can use this to get (or raise) a loan of $90,000 for a total of $100,000 towards a real estate investment. With stock investments, $10,000 would only get you $20,000 for stock investments. This is called buying on margin in the stock market (very risky).
Now of course, no investment is perfect. If property values fall, this leverage can work against you. The solution to this is to hold on to your real estate investments for the long term. This will begin to secure your financial future.

Real Estate Investing For Financial Security

Anyone who knows anything about Real Estate Investing knows that the most secure path to creating wealth is by investing in real estate; however, before you jump in head first...you must have a financial plan.

Most people don't see the correlation between the two. There are so many methods of investing. You must first decide on what your ending financial goal is in order to figure out which real estate investing path you need to take. Secondly, you must sit down and figure out how much money you have to invest in real estate while maintaining your daily living.

The final and most important concept that we must understand is that a salary and a 401K will never create the wealth that most of us are aiming for in our future. If this was enough, we would not have so many grandmothers and grandfathers handing out smiley face stickers at Walmart. No one PLANS to to be a professional elderly sticker passer outer. On the other hand, no one becomes rich who doesn't make a financial plan unless they are born with that shiny silver spoon.

We all know that there are certain things in life that you just don't want to do...balancing your checkbook and financial planning are right up there with going to the dentist. But the end results of neglecting any of these, is not very favorable. So suck it up and dig in.
The retirement plan of the past:

Work at one job for thirty years, work your way up the corporate ladder, get the gold watch, live off of your pension plan and social security. Pretty straight forward and simple. This retirement plan presents quite a few problems for the present and future retiree.

Problems with the retirement plan of the past:

1. You can no longer depend on your employer to provide for you after you stop working.

First of all...most of us never stay at a job long enough anymore to build up a decent pension. So if we are lucky, we depend on the faithful 401K. The problem with this is that you have to make half of the contributions yourself and if you are a contractor or an entrepreneur you don't even have this luxury! Even if you were responsible enough to start your 401K in your twenties, (which most did not) the rate of inflation will eat away at your saving like rabid dog.

2. You can no longer depend on the government to provide for you after you stop working.

How wonderful are your golden years going to be with $14,000 a year from social security? (Oh, that's only if you contributed the maximum over your life time). Well, I won't speak for everyone but I don't want my big bingo day to be interrupted with clipping coupons and buying groceries with food stamps; however, this is what you have to look forward to if you depend on the government.

Not to mention...when the government set up social security, they only thought that we would live to be 60 to 65 years old. So there may not even be any money left when you need it.

So what do you do?

The present and future retirement plan:

You have to invest your money in an inflation proof entity that will provide for you despite your age. Real Estate is the only investment that is not negatively effected by inflation. It will also continue to grow for you no matter what your age. I attended my best friend's grandmother's funeral today. She lived to be 104 years old. She had the foresight eighty years ago to invest in real estate. She owned several properties in Washington DC. The investments provided for her for her entire life including her elderly care. These investments continue to provide for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren even after her death. This is the definition of creating true wealth and securing your financial future.

A .99 Cent Calculator Can Save You $99,000!



I came upon some invaluable information that I wanted to pass along to you.




Present Value Insights



All financial calculators have buttons you push to discover various financial factors. These buttons are labeled N for the number of payments until a loan is fully paid off; I for the rate of interest being paid in each payment period; and PMT for the amount money paid for interest and principal. FV stands for the future value of the sums being paid. A very important button is labled PV for Present Value. Many creative financial formulas take P.V. into consideration. What is Present Value? Let me see if I can explain it to you:


Somehow, money that is received right away is more valuable than money that will be received later. How much more valuable like beauty lies in the eyes of the recipient, but absent of a pressing need for the money, financial mathematicians have come up with a term that expresses the difference between now and later. It is called Present Value.


When the Present Value is contrasted with the value of the money paid at a future time (Future Value), a difference in value can be calculated and that in turn can be related to the yield that the person who is paying later might realize, albeit it may be intangible.


For some reason, many people refuse to take the time to learn how to figure out how to use a calculator, even though knowing a few simple techniques can make the difference of thousands of dollars on a single deal. Here’s why:


By learning how to manipulate these buttons, it is possible to discover how much the rate of interest is, the number of payments until a loan is paid off, the amount of money still to be paid on an existing loan and the remaining unpaid balance; and the amount of money your money would earn if you loaned it for a set period of time, with a set payment, until it was completely paid off. Can you see how this might be of value to you?


For example, which would be better for me: Buying a house with a $125,000 secured Note which called for no interest for ten years, at which time $125,000 would be due and payable in a lump sum? Or, buying the same house for $100,000 with a Note calling for 120 monthly payments of $1213.28 including 8% annual interest? To figure out which offer would be best for the buyer, he would have to compare these two methods of payment to discover the PV.
The PV of the single payment, zero interest note would be equal to the sum of $125,000 discounted at the same rate as the other alternative, or .67% per month, for 120 months. The PV of this loan would be $56,315.43. Hold that thought a moment.


If you multiplied out all the monthly payments on the more conventional Note, you’d wind up paying $145,533.11. The difference in cost to you would be $89, 271.68. Now does learning how to calculate PV seem of any value to you.

Can you see why I’ll let the seller have his price almost all of the time without a murmur if I can get as financing terms a single payment, zero interest Note?
