Are You Chasing Dirt But Never Catching It?

Get started with our free investing resources.

 

 

Hey there,

If you're like a lot of people who enroll in my college-level real estate courses, you've probably thought about investing in real estate for a long time. But for whatever reason, you can't quite seem to make the leap from reading and learning to DOING.
 
You've probably read several books on the subject, and maybe you've even attended a seminar or two. And I'll bet you've probably seen several episodes of those house flipping and interior decorating shows on HGTV. Am I right?
 
I'm guessing that if you're like a lot of people I know, you're FRUSTRATED because you're not creating the kind of wealth you'd like to be.
 
You're tired of working the same job for years, and are looking for the freedom and flexibility of working for yourself. You don't necessarily need to become a gazillionaire, but you'd like to replace your current paycheck with passive income from real estate.
 
And you've probably even wondered what your life would be like if you were a full time real estate investor.
 
I'd also bet that you'd like to create passive income for yourself so that you can spend more time with your family instead of trading your time for a paycheck from a traditional job.
 
If you're older, you're likely thinking about how to create a very comfortable retirement for yourself when that time comes.
 
If you're younger, maybe you have children and are looking for ways to help with the cost of college down the road.
 
And maybe you've even thought about how good it would feel to be able to help someone else to buy or rent their first home.

 

Does Any of This Sound Like Your Situation?

The eBook: "Chasing Dirt, But Never Catching It: Why Most People Fail as Real Estate Investors and What You Must Do (And Stop Doing) in Order to Succeed."

In this book, I pose a question: why are there so many people who want to invest in real estate that can't quite seem to get past the fear of making a mistake?

Why are there so many people who have a strong interest in investing in real estate sitting on the sidelines? Even in the hot market of 2000 to 2005 this was as true as it is today. And yet, even now in the Information Age when people have access to more information, advice, and how-to expertise than ever before, fear of taking action becomes a nearly insurmountable obstacle.

Why?

Well, I've discovered the answer, and it might surprise you. In fact, if you don't know what's causing this roadblock for you, you may never be able to overcome it.

Then you'll learn 20 things you can do today that will get you engaged and on the path to your first or next deal. Most of them are simple and inexpensive, and many are things you've probably never heard before. Yet, they're all things I've done myself, and gained great value from each one. Click here to download your free copy. Here's a sample of some of the great things you'll learn:

• Your inability to get started is not your fault, and it's not an accident. It's deliberate, and by design. I'll show you why, and what you can do about it.
• Thinking about real estate with the wrong part of your brain can literally stop you from making an offer the same way an animal feels threatened by a predator in the wild. I'll show you how to overcome the protective response that is literally hardwired into your brain, and free yourself to take action without fear.
• The primary learning method used at Harvard Business School and many of the world's top business and law schools is far more effective than the "programs" and "systems" devised by the gurus. I'll show you how you can use it to learn to think through real estate challenges.
• Paralysis by analysis is actually a misnomer. It's not the analysis that's paralyzing, it’s the fear of making a mistake, and so we distract ourselves with overanalyzing a deal to keep that fear at bay. Learn how to overcome this hurdle.
• The gurus play a counterintuitive trick on you to keep you buying their products. I'll show you what it is on page 13.
• The four questions you MUST ask before buying a book or attending an expensive real estate investing seminar. This information alone can save you from wasting hundreds or thousands of dollars on "gurus." -page 14
• The six myths of the Guru Mythology that make it seem easy to make millions in real estate without putting in any work. These myths are designed by the gurus to keep you on the sidelines and out of the game. I'll debunk them all for you so you can see the real estate investing world the way it really is.
• The seven simple keys to real estate investing that make up 90% of your work as an investor. Master these, and the rest will fall into place on its own. -page 23
• A strategy for giving back to your community and making contacts in the real estate industry at the same time. And it costs you nothing. -page 33
• The step by step method I use to get sales and rental comps for free. Hint: it's using a resource you're probably already familiar with, but in an entirely different way!
• How I use technology to make my house hunting and market research far more efficient. -page 38
• The questions you absolutely must answer for yourself when creating your investing plan. I'll show you an example of a plan that fails, and a plan that succeeds. Then, you can write your own!
  

The concepts you'll learn and the specific action items included in this e-book will literally get you from fear and inaction to actively pursuing your goals in a matter of hours.

If you've ever done a rehab project, you know how challenging dealing with contractors can be.

As you go through these materials, keep the following things in mind:

1. The greatest fortunes are made in times of crisis. The topsy-turvy real estate market means that there are tremendous opportunities out there for those who know how to take advantage of them. If you're looking to "buy low and sell high," this is the time to make a move, not sit on the sidelines.
 
2. It literally took me years to learn everything that went into the free stuff on this page. But luckily for you, it'll only take you a few hours, and you'll be so much further ahead than those poor folks who want to invest, but are still too afraid to make a mistake to take action. With these resources at your fingertips, you'll have everything you'll need to make smart investing decisions and profit from the vast ocean of opportunity out there.

3. These are the only resources this side of going back to college that will help you learn real estate fundamentals in a way that will empower you to think on your own and take action. Don't waste another minute or another dollar on a "program" from a "guru" that doesn't work- learn HOW TO THINK through any real estate problem based on a deeper knowledge of real estate fundamentals. Then you'll automatically KNOW what to do on every single deal you ever come across. And you'll do deals and make money where others can't, because you'll have a deeper understanding of how to problem-solve on any kind of deal. That's the key to successful investing and reaching your financial goals.
