Flipping America

Everyone should be in real estate, even if they don’t own their own home. Today I’m going to tell you why and how. 

Louis Glickman said “the greatest investment on earth is earth.” My daddy always said “invest in real estate - they’re not making any more of it.” I guess my version of this statement will be, “until we establish permanent colonies on other worlds, this earth is all we have. So get a piece of it while you can.”

I am the Flipping America guy and I teach America how to make money in real estate. But it’s not all about flipping houses. In fact, that turns out to be just a fraction of the opportunities available in real estate. Today I want to introduce you to a World of Possibilities.

Questions:

Maria, Houston, TX, Could you recommend someone that does interior painting jobs?

Thank you

We are a national company with local chapters across the country. Your message doesn't indicate where you are from, but it's unlikely we would know someone in your specific area. If instead I may answer the question generally, here's how I find a painting contractor.

1. Go to a local Sherwin Williams store (the paint most professionals use). Ask for some referrals.
2. Do the same at the pro desk at Home Depot or Lowes.
3. Use the normal procedures for hiring subs. Check references, websites, BBB, etc.
4. Use some of the "character" questions in our contractor docs.

My experience with painters is you can get good quality work done for a fair price if you are willing to do your research on the front end.

Motivational Quote: "Life has no limitations, except the ones you make." -Les Brown "LIve is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can." Danny Kay "Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin." Grace Hansen

Even before the economic downfall caused by the coronavirus pandemic put wage earners in jeopardy, 78 percent of full-time workers were living paycheck to paycheck. A considerable majority is teetering on the brink of financial ruin. Even those who remain in their current job track will never be able to achieve financial peace of mind.

We're taught to believe the path to wealth is to get a good education, secure a well-paying job, work hard to impress management, climb the company leader and continue working hard until death or retirement. But that no longer provides anyone a path to financial freedom. To find prosperity, it's time to scrap most of the traditional ideas about money management. Those who hope to ever attain financial success will need to generate more revenue.

Margaret Curlew, PhD, is specialist in income generation and wealth-building. Her new book is Mom to Millionaire: Finding the Path to Financial Peace.

Margaret will draw from her own tumultuous journey to attaining financial success, and discuss:

• What ineffective and old-school beliefs about wealth creation continue to permeate societal thinking

• Why it requires a radical mindset to realize financial success

• What are the underlying characteristics that define successful, wealthy people that the rest of us should emulate

• What necessary steps will empower us to dramatically improve our financial situation

• How to use debt and leverage to achieve financial freedom

Margaret Curlew, PhD, is a professional, a "mompreneur" and a real estate investor. She is a specialist in income generation and wealth-building, and has mentored and contributed to the success of many individuals. Her new book is Mom to Millionaire: Finding the Path to Financial Peace (Feb. 16, 2019). Learn more at margaretcurlew.com

Motivational Quote: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." — Melody Beattie

There is probably nothing I can say about thankfulness or thanksgiving that hasn't already been said and probably more eloquently put. But like love, your thankfulness is something you can continually give away and never run out of. It's never too often and usually never too late to think about thanking someone.

For you parents out there, if you can imagine how it warms your heart when your children genuinely thank you for all that you do for them, you have a glimpse of how God must feel we we take time to express our gratitude. And although this show is no more religious than it is political, both topics are an important part of our lives and are destined to come up from time to time. So I just want to ask you right now to think about how often you pray. How many times per week? What percentage of those times when you pray do you ask God for something? 100% or close to it? The alternative is just sitting in His presence in gratitude, worship, or just with a listening heart?

Part of my challenge for you today is to focus for a few days on thankfulness. If you pray, try praying without asking for anything ("bless this food" is still asking for something). If you don't pray, it could be something you want to try. But even then, there is someone in your life you could be thanking for something. Think about them. Then Thank them. Even if you have before. We are going to talk more about thankfulness and actually join with some of the members of the Flipping America REIA in giving thanks in just a few minutes, but first I want to get to a backlog of your questions.

Questions

• Carson, Plano, TX "What are a few pros and cons of out-of-state investing?"
• Hank, Portland, OR, "Glad I found your show. I've enjoyed listening. I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but I would like to know your opinion on the best way to get started in this business.
• Becca, Milwaukee, WI "I'm looking at a deal that just by the numbers looks like a good deal. But when I look at the house it just doesn't feel right. My boyfriend tells me I should trust the numbers but my realtor kind of agrees with me - it's just an ugly house situated on a weird lot. Am I missing an opportunity if I say no to this?
• Sandy, Chattanooga TN, "I have an opportunity to buy a rental house in a gentrifying neighborhood just south of downtown. Although it's improving, the schools there are still terrible and crime is high. The house would yield 2% per month in rents. But I'm hesitant. Can you help me think about this?"
• Roy, Baltimore, MD, "My partner and I have been offered six row houses - the entire block for $5,000. They are all vacant and need a lot of work, and I know there are a lot of vacant homes around. But if we controlled the entire block, it seems like we shouldn't pass it up. Our plan would be to fix them and rent them out until the neighborhood comes back, then sell. Your thoughts?"
• Gary, Harrisburg, PA, "I was driving to Philly the other day and was surfing radio stations until I came across your show. Interesting stuff. I've been thinking about buying some rentals for side income. Can you give me some pointers on how to find something good in Harrisburg?
• Jackie, Villages of Ocala, "My husband and I own 25 rental properties back in Michigan where we are from. We are thinking of selling them and using the money to buy similar inventory here in Florida. There's no income tax here and we think we would do better. But although we live here now, we are new here and not that familiar with property in Florida. It's hard to give up something that works for something that might work a little better. We'd like you to weigh in."
• Lupe, Boulder, CO, "I heard you mention that you love working with Realtors. Please explain why. It seems like they get paid a lot for doing nothing. I mean, it's not that hard to list a property."
• Bernita, Macon, GA, "Is there any way to tell whether or not you need a new roof without getting up on it? I don't want to climb on a roof."

Motivational Quote: "Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good." — Maya Angelou "I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." — Ralph Waldo Emerson "Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." — Voltaire "When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself." — Tecumseh "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." — Epictetus "Wear gratitude like a cloak, and it will feed every corner of your life." — Rumi "We are all more blind to what we have than to what we have not." — Audre Lorde "'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding." — Alice Walker "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." — Melody Beattie

• Roy, Baltimore, MD, “My partner and I have been offered six row houses - the entire block for $5,000. They are all vacant and need a lot of work, and I know there are a lot of vacant homes around. But if we controlled the entire block, it seems like we shouldn’t pass it up. Our plan would be to fix them and rent them out until the neighborhood comes back, then sell. Your thoughts?”
• Gary, Harrisburg, PA, “I was driving to Philly the other day and was surfing radio stations until I came across your show. Interesting stuff. I’ve been thinking about buying some rentals for side income. Can you give me some pointers on how to find something good in Harrisburg?
• Jackie, Villages of Ocala, “My husband and I own 25 rental properties back in Michigan where we are from. We are thinking of selling them and using the money to buy similar inventory here in Florida. There’s no income tax here and we think we would do better. But although we live here now, we are new here and not that familiar with property in Florida. It’s hard to give up something that works for something that might work a little better. We’d like you to weigh in.”
• Lupe, Boulder, CO, “I heard you mention that you love working with Realtors. Please explain why. It seems like they get paid a lot for doing nothing. I mean, it’s not that hard to list a property.”
• Bernita, Macon, GA, “Is there any way to tell whether or not you need a new roof without getting up on it? I don’t want to climb on a roof.”

Motivational Quote: “Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.” — Maya Angelou “I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson “Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” — Voltaire “When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.” — Tecumseh “He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” — Epictetus “Wear gratitude like a cloak, and it will feed every corner of your life.” — Rumi “We are all more blind to what we have than to what we have not.” — Audre Lorde “‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” — Alice Walker "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." — Melody Beattie

 

Direct mail, driving for dollars, dialing for dollars, more direct mail, ground and pound to produce leads and negotiate all day long to get a deal. This is what it feels like to many who are getting into the real estate game. What if there were a different approach? What if you could pay near retail for nice properties that need no work and still make money? That's what you're about to hear, in this episode of Flipping America - A New Way to Home.

Would you like a real estate strategy you can do in your spare time to start?

Would you like something different than the normal "wholesaler" or "rehabber" strategy?

Swim in the "blue ocean" of limited competition with unlimited income potential using an established but little known investing strategy. You won't need cash or credit to do deals. Learn all about it on this call with Michael Mathe and Tanfen Michell.

There are many people using this business model and making six figure incomes in their part time. You know I don't say much about money and I don't like the hype, but this is for real. Learn this method and you will do well. Our guests have created a brand around this strategy and have exclusive territories - for now. Once they are gone they are gone.

There is no "one-size fits all" approach to real estate investing. This method may very well be the answer for those of you who don't seem to fit the fix and flip or wholesale methods. Perhaps you've tried them and gotten discouraged. It's ok - those worlds can be tough to break into right now.

It could also be that you're doing ok with flips but are looking for ways to create cash-flow. Little Pink Houses can help you jump-start this process and quickly increase both your income and your cash flow.

All you need is a little know-how and some marketing clout. And on this call you'll hear about everything you need to get started.
