    Dave Ramsey being asked how to get rich

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I live in the same town and same zip code as Dave. I go to the same church as Dave. My friends live in his luxury gated neighborhood. I've consumed almost all of his materials. I'm not a raving fan, but I'm also not a hater. I am in the middle on Dave. If anyone wants to have an AMA about Dave...

    The Proven Path to a Fastlane (Still Open for 2024)

    MARKETPLACE 
    BNI is a business networking group. It is usually made up of many insurance agents, real estate agents, mortgage lenders, or other business professionals to network and swap business leads. It's probably a "blue ocean" for web designers. Meaning, you would probably be the only one and there's...

    Serving Real Estate Builders and Brokerages

    EXECUTION 
    I don't think the Cali people are an anomaly. All the Phoenix real estate people I've heard lately are talking about how Arizona is the number one place for people leaving California. Followed by OR, TX, CO, TN, and NV. The state of California is pushing people out in droves. Now, as for the...

    EXECUTION 
    This is interesting. Californians are coming in droves here to Nashville, too. Along with New Jersey, New York, Chicago, etc. How do we capture this market? Is it Google PPC targeted specifically to those target areas with very specific ads to the demographic? Is it Facebook ads? YouTube...

    What do you mean by this? Do you mean target your competition's keywords, run ads, and then get a custom audience from that?

    I just put my house up for sale and no one I know understands why

    HOT! 
    Nicely done. I think we both know that things should be a little safer and calm in the burbs rather than in the Lakeview district, anyways.

    Anyone using IP targeting or geofencing with display ads?

    MARKETING 
    Here is my report on IP targeting and geofencing. So, I've found out that in order to do IP targeting to specific household addresses or geofencing is you have to go through a digital agency that offers the service. (What I want to know is how you get approved to offer that service in the...

    Anyone using IP targeting or geofencing with display ads?

    MARKETING 
    I'm in real estate and looking to target people in a specific neighborhood with ads specifically targeted to their neighborhood. That's why I'm looking in geofencing and IP targeting. But I from what I've noticed is that you can only do display ads with geofencing. You can't use it on...

    Anyone using IP targeting or geofencing with display ads?

    MARKETING 
    Looking for some feedback on it's viability, accuracy, and is it worth the effort? Are display ads working anymore? Also, where do these SaaS platforms get the location data to advertise to targeted locations?

    Facebook Ads Microtargeting

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    So, I am trying to do hyper-local ad targeting on Facebook. All the way down to just a specific neighborhood. Is there a work-around of the 15-mile radius targeting in Facebook Ads??? Like get the targeting down to 1-mile radius???

    WeWork Sunk Cost Fallacy

    No positive cashflow reported in a real estate business? That should've been the first clue right there. If you're not cashflowing from day one in a real estate business then you're most likely not going to be profitable later on. You lease out office space. Just because you make it look cool...

    California Governor signs rent-control law... yea or nay?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Supply will continue to be strained. Some landlords will decided to sell their investment properties because there will still be a shortage and they will profit massively. Those investors will take that money and invest it in real estate in other areas of the country or in another investment...

    How LONG would it take you to turn $50,000 into $190,000???

    That's the point I wanted to see others think about. Why put money into the stock and wait 10 years when investing in your business will generate a better return. In business we talk about using money in marketing or R&D or whatever to get a 2x, 5x, 10x, etc. return on investment. On Wall...

    How LONG would it take you to turn $50,000 into $190,000???

    I get a news alert today that the S&P 500 hit the 3,000 mark again and felt compelled to do some math. If you invested $50,000 into the S&P 500 at the lowest trading day of the 2008-2009 recession (S&P 500 = 797).... and waited.... and waited.... and waited.... and sold it 10 years later...

    Peeps that manage properties, would it be a good idea to finish university and get this degree

    HOT! IDEA 
    You don't need a license to sell any real estate that you personally own or to buy anything personally. You need a license to help any other person buy or sell real estate. Though, the advantages for investors to have their license is: a) make a commission when you buy yourself a property off...

    Reading a lot - is this really the #1 trait of rich people?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My vote goes to taking action. I've read where CEO's read an average of 50 books/year. I think that is a made up stat to sell more business/self-development books. Find 5-7 good books and re-read those every year. Then, write your own book. The best way to learn a topic is to write a book on it...

    HOT! IDEA 
    Real Estate Broker here. I'm probably saying something that has already been said but I can be the next to validate the same opinion. You won't learn anything at a college that you can't just read in a $30 book on real estate investing or just buying the textbook and reading it. These business...

    Dan Kennedy RIP

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for sharing. I guess there were false reports out there. Either way, he is on his last leg of the race. I wanted to hear stories about his impact on fellow Fastlaners.
