Flipping America

More than thirty million Americans are currently unemployed. Many of them do not have several months of cash reserves for emergencies. And many are turning to real estate as an opportunity to help them no longer rely on their employer for all of their income. Some desire to break from the corporate world and become professional real estate investors. 

It’s tough to do when you’re broke. 

Real estate takes money. But the great news is, it doesn’t have to be YOUR money. There is a river of money flowing from buyers to sellers. Today we are going to teach you how to dip a toe in, and then wade out into that river with your buckets in hand.

Today we conclude the conversation we started last time with Dr. David Janssen. We are talking about personality types, learning styles, and other characteristics that create our Divine Design. What does this have to do with real estate investing? I'm glad you asked. If we know ourselves well, we will know there are certain things we shouldn't try. But that's ok, because there are a lot of other options out there for us.

As we know ourselves we begin to understand why other people act the way they do and gradually we come to accept then appreciate and then deeply value those differences. This is a vital step in maturity. Master this and you will unlock relationship secrets that can set your life and your business on fire.

"Know Thyself." If you can do this, you have a much better chance of succeeding in life and work. You also have a much better chance of knowing, valuing, and relating to other people. To know yourself is the beginning of understanding the differences and learning to value those differences. In just a few moments we are going to join a recent call we did for the Flipping America REIA. Our guest is Dr. David Janssen, a specialist in the area of personality make-up. His theory is something he calls Divine Design which is a combination of personality, learning styles, training and experience, upbringing and environment, and much more. Truly a fascinating call and while we were going along, I was trying my best to show you how understanding your own tendencies can help you select (or NOT select) certain real estate techniques or strategies.

Would you ever consider investing with someone who has never lost money on a deal? That would certainly get my attention. I can't make that claim - I've lost money on a few. But today I'm going to have on the show a young man who so far is batting 1000. He's never lost money on a deal. And he's been at it for awhile.

Blake Templeton is an international motivational speaker, author of the new book 'The Solomon Way', With 14 years in business, and 300+ transactions, not one single investor has ever lost money. They are on track to have $100M under management within the next 12 months. I've never had someone do this on the show either, but Blake is going to tell us how the wisdom of King Solomon is a model upon which to build a Financial Fortress We are also going to discuss his 3 Dimensional Investment strategy, talk about what that means and how we can use it. All this and more coming right up.

It's OK to start small. But if you start well, and build disciplines around expenses, cash flow and reinvestment of profits, your business will grow and grow until it becomes a juggernaut, which is an unstoppable force, not a bad guy in Marvel comics.

He is the President of his local landlord Apartment Association and a frequent guest on podcasts and occasional speaker at real estate investing conferences. Jason enjoys coaching and mentoring both seasoned and beginner real estate investors.

• Jay, Atlanta, GA "Where can I get a list of foreclosures?"
• Sandy, Mentone, AL "How would you approach real estate investing if you live in a small town?"
• Daniel, Jacksonville, FL "I hear your prophecy about foreclosures and home prices and I think you're right. But I wonder what this means for me as an investor. Should I be doing something about this info?"
• Carolyn, Boulder, CO "Do you have suggestions for actually seeing a home when the seller is concerned about the pandemic?"
• Marvin, Washington, DC "Should I start with wholesaling and move up to fix and flips?"
• Aaron, Harrisburg, PA "Thanks for this information and for answering everyone's questions. I'm wondering where you think the best opportunities are for new investors?"
• John, Pittsburgh, PA, "We have a house that is just over 100 years old. The foundation is good. We can make a little money if we remodel what is here and sell. If we add 600 more square feet, out back of the house, we can create a cool floor plan and sell for a lot more. Theoretically we will make a lot more, but it will take a lot longer to do. I think there are unforeseen problems with that plan, but I don't know what they could be. Can you help me here?
• Willa Fae, New Port Richey, FL "I have 12 rental houses. Seven of them are paid off. The other five are more than half paid off. I watched a webinar the other day and the gentleman was teaching about returns on rental properties. He said something about return on equity I didn't fully understand, but I get the idea I should be re-financing all my properties to get the best return. I don't know what he meant, but I know I'd be putting less money in my pocket every month and I need this to live on. I'm 74 years old and my husband died ten years ago."
