    "You have to make an offer before you can see the property..." Is This Normal??

    REAL ESTATE 
    YES it's very normal in certain cases here in South Florida as well. When there i a tenant that is not cooperating, the only way to get access to the property is to make an offer, that is then presented to the tenant to gain access. It's a formality and does not bind you to that price at all.

    Update on the Mentor Group & Free Real Estate Book

    REAL ESTATE 
    Cashflowdepot might not have held them by their hands, but after reading her book and being at step 3 (?) finding the house already after less than a week, I wonder why she would have to. It's so easy to understand that I don't have a single question that I need to ask and was able to jump...

    4 Places to Find Properties You Can Buy with Seller Financing

    REAL ESTATE 
    How would this look in reality? Say, I agree with someone on buying the property with owner financing, do they give me the deed? What kind of contract would this be?

    Cutting out the middle men

    REAL ESTATE 
    You must have had a bad agent then. Good for you on getting your license then, because it sounds like you did all the work the agent is supposed to do.

    Attending Real Estate Licencing School

    REAL ESTATE 
    very true! If this is your only way of making money, it will eat your reserves rather than make you some quick cash on the side. First hand experience here, I thought it was so much easier. People kind of think of Realtors like used car salesmen, not good. It's also very time consuming to learn...

    Is a real estate license worth getting?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Just a word of advice from an agent: it is HARD work to get started making money being an agent. I have been an agent for a year and I was in for a big surprise. It is not easy money in the least. Well, I take that back. Once you have established clients, it is little actual work for a big...

    billionaires winding paths. what is yours?

    I was going to make a post based on that article as well, along the lines of: do you think that today the best way to achieve billionaire status on your own will most likely be tech related? All those guys did something tech related to accumulate the bulk of their money. 2 people that come to...

    20 Things the Rich Do Every Day

    MINDSET 
    The comments are so ironic, a prime example of why these people don't get ahead. Someone complains about rich people having staff to do cleaning, lawn mowing, etc. Why in the world wouldn't they?? Also the guy who said that he worked over 100 hours and cannot afford to pay for retirement. You...

    Dream cities (or towns) to live in?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    i understand exactly where you are coming from. It is best to hire a staff manager, but you are right, you still need to micro manage all the employees which becomes a hassle. i personally hate the fact that the maid comes twice a week and the Gardner once a week, I feel uncomfortable in my own...

    Am I stupid?

    MINDSET 
    Also, as far as the moral aspect goes, I don't think you should be too worried about most of these. If you are providing a service and not harming anybody in the process, you don't have to be ashamed of your business. Money is money and success is success, whether you've done it through porn...

    Am I stupid?

    MINDSET 
    Not bad, you definitely have some good ideas, points for creativity ;) But... I know the first idea with the plastic surgery already exists in various forms, one of the most popular ones being Reviews of Cosmetic Treatments, Surgery, Doctors - RealSelf. Not to say that the idea won't work, but...

    Fastlane Path- Real Estate Vs. Starting a company

    EXECUTION 
    For a while there, I wanted to focus solely on Real Estate investing for getting me to a high net worth as well, but lately I've been thinking it's not fastlane enough. At least it won't be if you're trying to build it up from scratch with a low amount of money to start with. On the other hand...

    Eating out almost everyday

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    Around here, buying groceries and preparing a meal (except for maybe pasta with store brand tomato sauce) averages out to about the same as getting something to go. I get stuff to go or eat out all the time, and it's never Wendy's or McDonalds. These days there are so many healthy-ish option for...

    Real Estate fanatic from South Florida

    The reason why selling higher end houses works here is because there is such a big market for it and enough turnover. I am still trying to establish myself (there's a lot of competition of course) but it is easier to do here than in a market where there are only so many higher end properties to...

    Real Estate fanatic from South Florida

    Hi there! I've been licensed for about 2 years now, I am with a pretty reputable luxury brokerage down here and the split starts at 55% and goes up to 80% for you. There are companies that pay up to 95% or even 100%, but they are small and I wouldn't recommend them for a beginner especially if...

    Real Estate fanatic from South Florida

    Hello Everyone! I wanted to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself to the community. I have been reading this forum for probably over 2 years, but so far I didn't think I had much of value to contribute, hence why it took me so long to sign up. I was born and raised in Germany...

    What do you hate?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I hate: folding laundry and putting it into its place aging (someone mentioned that already) and what I hate the most is having to call any sort of automated phone line because something is not working!! I was on the phone with Comcast for hours a few days ago, and again today. There is...
