Get Real

Goal Setting

In today's market is more important than ever to have a game plan.  If you don't have goals and a specific path to achieve them you may end up drifiting along like many other investors.  I have many people ask me, "Is it possible to get out of my day job and become a full time investor in 3, 6 12 months?"  The answer really lies with you.  Are you willing to develop a plan and stick with it no matter what?  This week we look at how to set and execute goals.

Jeffrey Richman

Jeffrey is a long time investor and friend of the show.  Jeff has always been good at looking at the current market conditions and coming up with a way to make money in real estate. Jeff is an expert in subject-to's, wholesaling and equity sharing.  In this week's episode Jeff shares with us what he thinks will work for the next 24 months and how to really profit in real estate investing.  He has been spending his time really focusing on how to sell homes in this market.

Developing Your Business Plan

One of the most common questions I get from people that download their free ebook, "How to Dazzle Your Banker" when they sign up for our email list at http://www.getrealrei.com is how do you create a business plan. So this week we are going to tackle that question in detail.  We are also dedicated this month's newsletter to building your business plan and goal setting.  You can find out more at http://www.getrealrei.com/newsletter

2009!!!

Welcome to a new year and new opportunities in real estate investing.  For our first show of the year we are going to talk about upcoming changes for Get Real and answer some really good questions along the way.  We can't wait to help everyone out with their real estate investing for 2009.

Questions and Answers

We have had some really great questions lately and decided to take a shot at answering them.  There is everything from subject-to's to marketing in this show.  There are some great tidbits to help your real estate investing business.

Preston Sandlin

Investors who do rehabs or buy rental properties work with inspectors on a daily basis.  Preston shared with us what an inspector can do for us and what we need to look at on inspection reports.  Listen in for some great tidbits on how to work with inspectors.

Pre-foreclosures

With the number of people going into foreclosure skyrocketing we think it is really important to understand the entire foreclosure process and how to cash in on the good deals.  This week we will focus just on the process of foreclosure and the pre-foreclosure portion.  This is a multi-facetted subject.  We go more in-depth in this month's edition of our newsletter from our Platinum Membership Program.

Jeff Buchanan

We all know now is a wonderful time to buy and hold homes and multifamily properties.  Many of us don't have the time to manage our own properties.  Jeff joins us this week to explain what a property manager should and shouldn't do for you and how to find the best property manager for your properties.  This may be the first step for many new investors in hiring their first employee/vendor.  Your property manager is a very important part of your team and can make or break the success of your rental properties.

A little bit of everything

Today we talked about a little bit of everything from working on short sales on bankruptcy leads to managing properties and screening tenants.  There should be something for everyone to key in on today or knowledge to lock away for future reference.

Q&A Show

On Today's show we answered a bunch of different questions from Asset Protection to Property Management.  I even got to ask Lynn a question about investing in our current market.
