Real Estate Syndication Secrets – How to Make Extraordinary Profit Gains in Today’s Market

While many of today’s real estate investors are suffering from this massive, global economic meltdown that’s causing unemployment to rise to at least 10% by this fall, bank foreclosures to skyrocket and prices in most real estate markets to fall more than half from their peak, my students are making 6- and 7-figures with real estate investing syndication.

For example:

o My client, Jay Redding syndicated his first commercial real estate property in Indiana earning his investment business an immediate $250,000.00 in cash and equitable profits.

o My client, Certified Financial Planner, Michelle Agar syndicated her first group of 5 investment properties in Edmonton, Alberta, earning her $269,000.00 in profits.

Want to know how they’re making extraordinary profits in today’s real estate “Perfect Storm” of opportunity, and how you could do the same?

6 Elements A Real Estate Investing Business Needs to Make Extraordinary Profit Gains with Less Than a Part-Time Effort

Profit-making element #1: Vision and Planning

You need to understand that your investing business should be treated like you would for your own baby in the beginning and it should be nurtured as such. I don’t believe that any parent in their right mind with a newborn child says, “I’m going to walk away from this baby and leave it to fend for itself without any help and check up on it every few weeks or months. Then I’ll see if it has fed itself, changed its diapers, growing strong and operating with positive values and ideals.”

If they did this, their baby would die. Yet, I see one investor after another doing the same thing with their businesses and then they wonder: “what in the world went wrong.” They failed to plan. They failed to create a vision. They failed to implement proven business systems. Anf finally, they failed to focus their efforts on launching and nurturing their business so their investing business will be ready for more independence in the future.

Profit-making element #2: Specialized Knowledge

As an investor you need to know how to find, finance, hold and flip deals. You need to know negotiation strategies, NLP mind tricks, what’s-working-now techniques, real estate contracts, and how to adapt to opportunities in more than one marketplace, using more than one investing strategy. And, if you don’t have these specialized skills and knowledge then you need to find one or more partners that have the resources, skills and knowledge to help you close more deals. That’s what real estate investing syndication is all about. It’s the ultimate Joint Venture investment business.

Profit-making element #3: Applied Strategies

There are very specific strategies that you need to know in order to:

o Set up an organization that generates huge profits on its very first transaction

o Position yourself as a syndication expert so more people want to work with you

o Create and generate profits 8 to 12 different ways on every deal

o Deal with the legal ins and outs

o Finding the perfect syndication partners

o Leverage your knowledge into massive wealth

Profit-making element #4: Mentorship and Advisors

My real estate investing syndication business generated over 3.2 million dollars in equity and cash profits within its first 93 days. In 26 months we had transacted over 14 million dollars worth of real estate across 5 markets in North America.

I credit much of my success to Research in Motion’s CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. Working under two of the world’s most prominent self-made technology billionaire face-to-face for four years certainly helped me hone my business and relationship skills fast. Remember, behind every successful entrepreneur is a mentor that has helped guide he or she in the direction they want to go.

Profit-making element #5: Strategic Partners

When you become a real estate syndicator and partner with other investors who have money to invest in the market you:

o Build a formidable reputation

o Do more deals by leveraging this concept

o Create a fortune for yourself without using your own money

o Become a major player in the market without risking any of your own capital

In other words, when you transform your real estate investing business into a syndicator, you create a win/win/win for everyone involved.

Profit-making element #6: Systems and Processes

Once you have launched your real estate investing syndication business and put the right systems and processes in place, you can work part-time from your laptop and Blackberry. Re-inventing himself as a real estate syndicator, with just 10 hours of effort, Robert Beagle closed his first real estate deal and made over $61,000 in profits on a property he had never seen!

As you complete more transactions and learn to master systems and processes you’ll be able to put your business on autopilot and complete even more deals in less time.

You Can Fight Back Against Special Education Denials That Hurt Your Child!

Are you the parent of a child with autism, learning disabilities, or another disability receiving special education services? Are you sick and tired of special education personnel in your district denying your child needed related and special education services? This article will empower you to fight back for your child by addressing important advocacy skills.

Advocacy Strategy 1: Educate yourself about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 2004 (IDEA 2004) and your states regulations on special education. You can do this by reading books, attending conferences and developing friendships with more experienced parents of children with disabilities. By being educated on federal and state law your chances of success with your advocacy increase.

Advocacy Strategy 2: Documentation is critical in winning a special education dispute. Begin sending letters to document what is occurring in your child’s education. Important verbal conversations must be followed up by a short letter, to the person you spoke to. For Example: Your child’s teacher states in a phone conversation that your child is not progressing, and needs more intense related and special education services. Immediately write a letter to the teacher, including the date and time of the conversation, and what was said. The letter needs to be Hand delivered to the teacher, or sent certified with a return receipt. This will document what the teacher said, even if she denies that she ever said it.

Also, save any letters or other documentation sent from special education personnel. You should save important school papers, any notes about negative behavior, any documentation that you need to strengthen your advocacy position. I once advocated for a young boy who had negative behavior at school. The school was sending home daily behavior sheets, and I advised the mother to date them, and not throw them away. We used them at a due process to show that when the school district stated the child’s behavior was out of control, the behavior sheet said he was fine. Documentation can win a case, or lack of documentation can lose a case.

Advocacy Strategy 3: Tape record all IEP meetings, and if possible and necessary have a transcriber transcribe them for future use. Transcriptions of IEP meetings can be used at due process as documentation.

In all my years of advocacy, I have never been a huge fan of tape recording, but I have recently changed my mind. School districts have become so bold in denying things they tell parents, that it is critical that parents have documentation of what is being said in meetings, and what the school district is agreeing to. I find a huge discrepancy between what many special education personnel agree to in a meeting, and what is being documented in a child’s IEP. A transcript of a tape recorded meeting could be used as evidence in a due process hearing, to show what the school district agreed to.

Advocacy Strategy 4: Whenever special education personnel want to change a child’s label placement or refuse to change your child’s label or placement, they must give prior written notice (PWN) to you. Also, if they deny services that your child needs, they must also give PWN. For example: If you take your child to an independent evaluator and bring the report of recommendations to the school district, and they refuse to follow the recommendations, they must give you PWN, on why they are not following the recommendations.

Advocacy Strategy 5: Be willing to file state complaints or due process for non compliance with IDEA 2004, or if the school district does not give your child FAPE. Going over the school districts head is the best way to ensure that your child is getting the appropriate services that they need.

With these advocacy strategies under your belt, you will have a better chance of prevailing in a dispute with your school district. Your child is depending on you so work hard for their benefit.

Launch on Time: No matter what, even if you haven’t officially announced your “launch date” you should launch the site when you’ve said you would.

You already know about your competition; how does your concept measure up? If you haven’t come up with your own idea and are trying to work with someone else’s concept, do some more work on your own before your launch. People want original ideas because they’ve seen too many other me-too websites already.

Test Your Concept Before You Commit To The Information Product Creation Process: One of the biggest failures people have with information product creation is not testing an idea before putting a lot of effort into producing an information product.
