Finding Your Real Estate Calling
Preview:
It happens at real estate seminars around the country. One of the first questions by new investors is always:"What area of investment would be the best for me to get started in?"
It's a lot easier to guess the question from the newbie than the answers that they will receive from that question. Everyone has their own opinion and as I was starting I felt like a chubby 4th grader at Willy Wonka's... soooo many choices. I heard gurus talking about $10,000 in cash flow with apartment buildings, saw note-buying infomercials on late night television at... continue reading >>
Market slowing down: Great for some, death for others.
Preview:
They're talking; oh, they're talking. The Chicken Littles of real estate are out and they're badder than ever. There's Doom and Gloom all around, and it's coming from people in all areas of real estate in places all over the country. Builders are complaining that their just-completed homes are sitting vacant in ghost town neighborhoods realtors are upset by the length of time that their listings are sitting on the market, and investors are struggling to find deals with margins. I feel that, in these times, people who are meant to be in the business will prosper big... continue reading >>The Ultimate Investor Community

Here's the inaugural blog entry; what is hoped to be the first of many articles, blogs, or any other thing we call writing down or typing out our feelings and views of life. My goals for Real Estate Baller encompass a number of things: I think it's always great to strive to be number one at something; something that is quantifiable; something that there can't be any dispute about, like the way a boxer feels after he's won a KO in the third round. To be number one. I want Real Estate Baller to be... continue reading >>Why do investors fill their homes like a ding dong?

Our goal is to provide prospective tenants with as much information in as many ways as possible WITHOUT having to speak with them ourselves. Ideally, we want them to know the details about the home, the price, our terms, and what it looks like both inside and out before we speak with them. This will allows us to spend more time on income-producing activities and keeps us from burning out.
I've seen a lot of people who are just plain horrible at this business. It never ceases to amaze me that, with the plethora of... continue reading >>

The 100k Club, Wanna Join?
Preview:
I had a business coach for awhile and one of the things he had me do was to create the picture of what my ideal day would look like. I was supposed to really bring out the senses and to create a vivid picture on paper of what it would feel, look, taste, smell, and hear like. Do you want to join the $100,000 Club with me? I'd like to know.$100,000 Club
I wake up, feeling completely rested, to the sounds of waves finding their final destination crashing against the beach no further than forty feet from... continue reading >>
Mayonnaise Jar and Two Cups of Coffee
Preview:
I really liked this and felt all my pals on REI should check it out.......
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle...
when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the
mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
Here's the deal: A professor stood before his philosophy
class and had some items in front of him. When the class
began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was... continue reading >>
The 3 types of people in this world

The 3 types of people in this world Boy, I've had some frustrating times in this business! When I say frustrating, I mean the times when you want to shout at the top of your lungs but you refrain for fear of being taken away in a straight jacket. I’ve experienced the types of situations that have you questioning every fiber in your entrepreneurial body, every hope for a prosperous future, and every desire to create the life envisioned. One thing I've realized now about this business, and probably any business, is that you can't eliminate those times. When they... continue reading >>An Open Letter to Mr. Dehler
Preview:
Below is an excellent entry from our first REI superstar, Ryan Dehler, followed my response. I encourage any comments anyone would have.
Now this is a thought that always runs through my head.
I have been to the real estate clubs and been on the websites and seen the gurus. It's a thought that is always in the back of my head: "What is the point of teaching other people the business?" Many people will disagree with the fact that the more investors there are, the harder it is to succeed. At a local REI... continue reading >>
