My Details
My Goals
I would like to purchase enough homes to make the transition into commercial multifamily. With enough passive income, I want my wife to retire and hopefully I would join her soon afterward. Then I would focus on things I have a great deal of interest in: travel, photography and real estate.
About Me
I would say that my biggest weakness is networking. I hate asking for help and like to think I can figure stuff out for myself, depite that being the furthest thing from the truth. The problem is compounded by the impression I get that most people feel intimidated to approach me, perhaps due to my height or overall demeanor.
So I find I'm usually the one that has to initiate conversation and break the ice. Don't get me wrong, I love interacting with people I know well and have a good relationship with. It's with people I don't know that I tend to act like a complete moron.
I have discovered a new conversational tool that has been working pretty well so far: 'If you're not busy let's get something to drink' has changed my image from the shy guy hanging around in the back to 'Big Will'.

My Experience
When I first started I invested in very low end properties because I thought the cash flow could not be beat. After losing money, I realized that real estate is not just about the land and property, it's about people as well. Tenants, contractors, brokers, accountants, agents and attorneys all need to be dealt with to be successful in real estate. If you think about it, life in general is all about how you deal with the relationships you form with others.
Currently I find blue collar homes, 15 to 25 years old, to be the best investment for a newbie like myself because they cash flow and can be purchased low enough to gain significant unrealized equity.

Hi Will,
How are you? I would love to find out how we can help each other out in this Wonderful ecomony:)
I am working with a company called "Lease to Own Realty". We are based out of Dallas, and we help renters become homeowners through a no $ down, no closing cost, 30 yr fixed rate mortgage, and up to a 18 month lease period during which they may assume the mortgage and own the home!
Our program is not like a normal rent to own program. We have associations with Morgan Stanley and Quicken Loans!
If you feel there could be some Synergy between us let me know and maybe we can help each other out and both benefit:)
Create a Great Day!

I thought I might give you a resource to check out. Since it is harder and harder to qualify buyers, credit is more important than ever. I came across something that can help your prosepective buyers to get their scores that much better or higher so you can qualify them and thus make more sales and more money. It is a resource I have been using with a greater and greater number of my buyers and clients. So here it is:

This is a 2 Tier Payment System, NOT an MLM. You earn on your team and on their team. All of your team members pass up 2 of their team members (1 & 4). In the example above, since Tim and Tom have been passed up to your team, they will, in turn, pass you their 1st and 4th sales. This process keeps occuring over and over. Of the $697 startup cost for Platinum Level, $600 is paid instantly to team leaders.
1.) Earn Full Profit Spreads on homes you flip!!

~All of YOUR team members will Also pass up their 1st and 4th personal sales which is how YOUR team will grow as well, from the efforts of your team members.~
6.) You can use ANY pre-approved buyers from any of your own Gold team member's, to FLIP your OWN homes with; (after the original seller has their opportunity to sell to that buyer). Gold level team members are limited to earning only from the original homeowner that created the lead.
