7 Myths About Real Estate Investing

arun — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:08:32 +0000

Did you know real estate investing has created more millionaires that ALL other industries combined? The question, then, is why are more people not invested in real estate? Even with the increased awareness in real estate investing, more people are still familiar with other forms of investing such as stocks and mutual funds. In this article, I will discuss 7 myths that about real estate investing that are costing you tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars). These myths persist because most people invest in real estate using
conventional financing, which often requires 5% or more as a down payment. Assuming that $150,000 is average price of a house in your area (in most cities, it’s significantly more than that), you would need $7,500 as a down payment (and this doesn’t even include other fees such as closing costs). The purpose of this article is to share techniques of creative real estate investing that debunk these common myths about real estate investing.

Myth #1: To create wealth, you have to invest in stocks and mutual funds.
Fact: Real estate investing has created more millionaires than ALL other industries combined including Internet marketing, stock investing and mutual fund investing. In fact, according to the CEO of FNMA (Federal National Mortgage Association), in the hottest bull market in history, more people ended up creating wealth through home ownership than through stock ownership.
Myth #2: Real estate investing requires a lot of money.
Fact: Once you learn how to buy undervalued properties, you can find all types of people who will lend you their cash. You can find these people at your local real estate investor association or by contacting us. Additionally, you can use an option (typically $10 to $100 for the option fee) to control the property and not even need to raise any capital.
Myth #3: Real estate investing requires good credit.
Fact:
This is related to Myth #1. Again, once you learn how to find undervalued properties, you can find all types of people who will lend you their credit, especially if the property has significant equity. Additionally, you can also use an option to control the property and this technique doesn’t require that you have good credit.
Myth #4: Real estate investing requires you to do major rehabs in dangerous neighborhoods.
Fact:
While you can indeed make good money doing rehabbing, you can make even more money working with “pretty houses”, houses in suburban areas that need little renovation. In actuality, you can make $20,000 or more per $100,000 of property (thus, in a high-priced market such as Florida, the average profit would be $40,000 or more per property).
Myth #4: Real estate investing requires dealing with tenants, repairs or house payments.
Fact:
Again, while you can do that, you can also make money in real estate investing without ever having to deal with tenants, repairs or house payments through the use of options. One of our clients recently made $9,800 in 4 days on his last option deal.

The ADVANCED Mail Order Marketing Formula

arun — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:56:27 +0000

Whenever you’re starting your mail order campaign, you need to realize that the target market doesn’t know or trust you yet. So trying to get them to fork over $100, $250, even $500 for a product, course, service, whatever is going to be incredibly difficult. Most mail order marketers sell a low-cost or even free “Front-End Offer”… maybe a booklet, report, audio CD, trial subscription… so that the prospect has very little risk involved in their purchase. Because their risk is low, they’re more likely to take a chance with you. Then, once they’ve purchased from you, it’s important that you PROVE YOURSELF to them by giving them more than they expected. How you deliver the first product is going to give them an idea of the quality of ALL of your products and your customer service philosophy. Make sure to give a great impression. Then, once you’ve proven yourself to your buyers you can mail additional offers to them, selling them higher-priced products.

Super Affiliate Secrets

As explained in the previous section, affiliate programs give you the ability to promote a company’s website, products, and services and receive a commission from any sales made through your efforts. For the beginning Internet marketer, this can be one of the easiest ways to
start creating real profits on the net. Because you’re promoting another company’s website, you have none of the normal hassles and headaches of a regular online business. You have no products to stock or ship, no employees, no office space, no customer service issues, no technical issues, no worry about servers or bandwidth, and you never have to process or fulfill a single order. You simply refer other people to the company’s website and when one of the people you refer buys, you get paid. However, affiliate programs are NOT just for beginners.

In fact, some of the world’s top Internet marketing experts use affiliate programs as extra income streams. And many joint ventures are run through affiliate software.

Real Estate

Real estate investing is an exciting field for a number of reasons. First, it’s all around you. Wherever you live- whether it’s in a house, condo, duplex, or apartment – is real estate that someone owns. Second, the profits from buying and selling real estate can be quite large. I’ve
heard many, many success stories from real estate investors pocketing $100,000 to $500,000 or more on different deals. Even people with little experience and no money have found ways to pocket $5,000 to $20,000 on real estate deals. And finally, TV, radio, magazines, and the Internet constantly feature success stories of real estate investors.
So it’s no wonder that there’s a huge interest in real estate investing and a large number of experts and seminar companies willing to fill this demand with books, courses, workshops, and coaching programs. In my own area free real estate seminars come through almost monthly. And next month, a huge real estate expo will be held with some of the world’s best known real estate investors giving keynote speeches. There seems to be no end in sight for the demand for real estate investing information.

Internet Marketing

The Internet has been a blessing for many people who had the dream of starting their own home-based businesses but had been held back by high costs, poor location, or limited opportunities. Today, the Internet has given people the opportunity to set up home-based businesses from their “home office” and create a full-time income.

Yanik Silver, for example, started his Internet business from a small table in the corner of his living room and has now become an internationally respected Internet marketing expert who pulls in millions of dollars for his information and coaching. Others, who simply want to
supplement their current income, are able to spend just 30 to 45 minutes a day on their home computer and create $1,000 to $2,500 a month or more in extra income. With the low-cost of entry, software that can create and run an entire website on autopilot, and a wide variety of order processing options, virtually anyone with an idea can start their own business on the Internet.

Information Marketing

Information marketing is, in my opinion, one of the best, most exciting, most profitable businesses you can run. An information marketing business sells products (books, courses, booklets, manuals, DVD’s, CD’s, seminars, workshops, coaching, etc.) to a specific niche market
(i.e. opportunity seekers, gardeners, business owners, hobbyists, etc.).
There are many, many benefits to running an information marketing company.

First are the high profit margins of information products. Most info-marketers mark-up their products 8 to 10 times. If a book and 6 audio CD’s cost $30 to print and duplicate, the marketer will normally sell it for $250 to $300. Because people value the INFORMATION inside an info-product and not the value of how it’s delivered, it’s easy to sell low-cost info-products for very high dollar amounts. And if you deliver high-quality information, your customer won’t argue with the fact that the info-product was relatively cheap to produce. Another benefit is the fact that information is easy to ship. It’s easy to box and mail, around the country or around the world. Online, it’s even easier. You can create and sell an info- product that the customer downloads directly from your website so there’s no printing or shipping costs for you.

The information marketing is huge – and growing by leaps and bounds. We’re in the middle of the information age – and people are willing to spend big bucks for the right information.
