Education
I graduated The Ohio State University a few years ago with a degree I never plan to use.
While I have attended a few real estate investing seminars, I have learned most of what I know about creative real estate from my partner Colin Egbert.  I am amazed everyday by the number of ways that investors are able to create win/win deals to not only make great money, but also help others in the process. My knowledge of the transactional aspects of investing are just enough to fulfill my roles of marketing, operations and expansion.
Hobbies

Right now business is my hobby, and all free time goes to my lovely girlfriend.

About Me

Who is Matthew Leitz?

If you were to make a sliding scale and put a serious business professional on one end and a wild fun-loving hippy on the other, I would fall somewhere in the middle on most days.  Other days you will find me pushing the limits on either end of the spectrum.

Why is he always smiling?

I have been blessed to have amazing people all around me.  My family is the most wonderful and supportive people a guy could ask for.  I live with my fiancee who is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me.  And our friends are the absolute coolest people on earth.  Life is good.

What does Matthew do for a living?

I have an internet based company called RealEstateInvestor.com with my business partner Colin.  The site is an online community that provides real estate investors networking opportunities, education and tools to make more money in real estate.  Additionally, we offer a series of educational products and put on national seminars.

What is Matthew’s specialty?

Good question.  Business wise, I generally work on whatever needs done the most for the company.  I am now focusing on internet marketing which is why you will find info on the topic in this blog.  More generally speaking, I believe my specialty to be interpersonal communications (at least that is what my degree says).

Where does Matthew live?

My girl Angela and I moved from Ohio to San Diego in the beginning of ‘09.  Our little apartment is conveniently located within a block of the beach, the bay, a park, a roller coaster, our health club and a strip of bars.  I don’t think we are going anywhere for a while.

What is “Blogging Entropy”?

I definitely struggled to name my blog as I still have not figured out what my primary focus is in life (probably because I get bored too quickly to have a focus).  The word “entropy” is a scientific term I learned in physics class that refers to the randomness of nature.  This is sort of the way my mind works, so I thought it was fitting.

What does Matthew do for fun?

I like to spend as much time with family and friends as I possibly can.  We love the action and you can find us at party spots ranging from the VIP section of upscale nightclubs to camping in tents at outdoor music festivals.  My newest hobby is surfing which I am absolutely loving it.

What else should we know about you?

I recently made the decision to go by Matthew instead of Matt in order to sound more important.  I work 70 hours a week, but plan to be semi-retired by 35.  When I am on conference calls for business I am generally standing with my feet in Mission Bay.  I once made a hole-in-one in golf, but it was after I had a mulligan so they said it didn’t count.

About Our Business

I have been involved in real estate investing with my friend and business partner Colin for the past 3 years.  Our company, Valor Real Estate Solutions, specializes in short sales and wholesale deals in Columbus, OH.  My specialties include the marketing, internet presence, operations management, company branding and system development.

We started RealEstateInvestor.com about a year ago and my focus has since shifted from helping our company do more deals to helping make REI a vehicle that assists investors  all across the country do more deals.  We know how difficult it is to get started investing when you have no one to turn to.  We also have been through the difficulties that come once you start making money and you need to turn your attention to building a strong business.  REI is full of investors that realize there are plenty of deals to go around and that the industry will only improve as we learn to work together. 

My philosophy about life is that people make money according to the value that they add to society.  When it comes down to it you will get what you deserve more times than not.  For that reason we put everything we have into building RealEstateInvestor.com.  I feel great about helping homeowners out of bad situations and even better about REI empowering investors everywhere to do the same. 

I am a very outgoing person who enjoy nothing more that meeting all types of people who are excited about life because they know they can make a difference.  Meeting investors at seminars around the country inspired us to get REI off the ground, and meeting amazing people on this site only motivates to make it better and better.  We have a lot of great ideas that are yet to be seen, but we fully realize no matter what the site offers that the members are the greatest asset REI has. 

You guys rock, please keep the feedback coming.  We are here to make your experience enjoyable, educational and most importantly, profitable.

*If you cannot find a way to structure the first deal , scrap it ...OR....if you are a man...MAKE it happen*! You have every resourse available to bring every dream to fruition, you, you just need to get off your lazy BUTT and be creative!...Deals come and go like buses...flip through the deck of card deals quickly and sift the good from the bad...this is a numbers game! don't be afraid to let deals go...but become smart enough to be acutely aware of the fine deals!
