Flipping America

Today I’m going to share Seven Rules for Real Estate Investing. Why seven? Why not 23 or 4? Recently I was on Nick Raithel’s show and he asked me to develop seven rules and only seven. I kinda like what I did so I thought I would repeat them here, although I do encourage you to find Nick’s show at Apple podcasts and give him a listen. These seven rules provide a framework not only for your real estate business but also for your life and career in real estate.

Topic: Seven Rules

1. Buy for Less than you can sell it. Rent it out for less than your monthly payment. Know your numbers. 
2. 1. ARV
   2. Rehab
   3. Holding
   4. Loan Constant
   5. Cash on cash return.
3. Learn the terminology and their proper use. It’s ok for this to be an on-going venture. Don’t try to conquer this before you begin. 

• Recruit a great Team

1. Great Contractor - Vital piece
2. Great Realtor - Vital piece - more plentiful than great contractors. 
3. Bird Dogs, Wholesalers, Marketing people
4. Staff to your weaknesses

• Treat it like a business

1. 1. Understand how a business works.
      1. Business cards, logo design - all a form of procrastination
      2. Entity structure - important, but secondary. 
   2. Focus on the bottom-line
   1. You can scale systems, processes and products but you cannot scale YOU.
   2. Read the book E-Myth Mastery Brian Gerber.
2. Do everything at first and stop as soon as you reasonably can. End up doing only those things that only you can do. 
   1. Include where you live, how you spend your days, etc.
   2. Include your reputation - how many people know who you are and what do they think of you? 
   3. Make a budget showing how much it costs to live your dream life.
   4. How much net return can you reasonably expect from your investments (real estate, stocks etc.)?
   5. How much will you have to invest in order for those investments to afford your lifestyle? You are financially free when your passive income pays for your lifestyle. 
3. Picture your life in the future - 3, 5, 10 years. What is the life you dream about? Call it Vision, Goal, whatever. Terminology doesn’t matter
   1. Leave your children enough to do something but not enough to do nothing.
   2. Find a cause bigger than yourself - perhaps more than one. Giving makes you a better person and actually adds to your life wealth. 
4. Think about your legacy. It is pretty easy to make more than you really need in this business. Choose generosity as a lifestyle habit.

• "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."
  - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's possible to live in one place and invest in many others - even if you're not a hedge fund! Our guest today, Anne Amagrande is doing just that. And with her success she's creating something she calls the Win-Win-Win Scenario. I've been referring to it at the Triple Win, but also thinking about Win cubed. That last one may be a little too nerdy though. I'm excited Anne is going to be joining us today and we will be speaking with her in just a few minutes.

Anne was born and raised in a small southern California town outside Pasadena. Her Parents and Grandparents were entrepreneurs so she and her 3 sisters never had a chance, it was in their blood to be bold, creative and challenge the status quo. Anne gained a sense of business acumen at a young age while working in her parents and grandparents printing business.

After College Anne worked in Retail Logistics and Operations, working with one of the largest retailers in the world and later became certified as a Global Logistics Specialist rising through the ranks and landing in Distribution Center overseeing operations of Inbound freight for 63 stores in Southern California.

In her spare time, she found time to work within her true passion of Real Estate, Economics, and Finance. Upon entering Real Estate, Anne began flipping homes. After a while, she realized that it was not feeding her true desire to help others. Anne changed direction and sought a way to create a Win-Win-Win scenario. Along with her team, Anne created a truly unique system designed to create a Win-Win-Win model for Investors, Long term Residents, and locally owned and operated preferred Vendors, all while maintaining a profitable model for her business. Anne's moto: "When everyone wins the world is a better place".

• Tiffany, Carrollton, GA “I’m so ready to give up. I spent a TON of money on a training course and bought a house. I think I spent too much on the rehab. It sold fairly quickly but the check I got at closing was less than the check I wrote when I bought it. Does this even work?”

I just finished up my new eBook, "Fantastic Deals and Where to Find Them" and today you are in for a bit of a special treat. The ebook will be available in the Kindle store and as an audio book. In the interest of maximizing time management and killing two birds with one stone I'm going to read the first half of the book on the show today and finish on our next show. Yeah it's an eBook, so this is not a long read.

• Alison, Colorado Springs, CO, "I tried to download the 'Property Grade' app from the Google Play store and it doesn't look like it's available. What am I doing wrong?"
• Don, Pittsburgh, PA, "You recently did two shows "Why We Fail" and "Why You Will Succeed". I wanted you to know those are two of the best podcasts I've ever heard and I do believe my life has been changed by them. I don't have a question at this time -- I just wanted to say thank you."
• Betty, Villages of Ocala, "My husband and I retired a couple of years early, but we are retired and want to stay that way. What are the best options for us to invest in some real estate passively?"
• Paul, Jacksonville, FL "Just heard this show for the first time. Thanks for being a voice of realism that cuts through all the "hype." Please tell me a realistic way for me to get started in this business. I have a little money, and my family has owned rentals, but I don't think it was a good experience for my parents. I want to get in, but I want to do it right."
