Real Estate Investing - All 24 methods

 

 

Presented by IntelliBiz

 

You are here because you understand that investing in real estate is the number one way for the average person to achieve substantial wealth. (Or perhaps you are here to download a lot of free stuff (~.^)

 

Did you know that only a very few people are aware of how many different methods there are for making money in real estate, and fewer still know how to execute them. Even among seasoned investors only a small percentage know more than a half dozen strategies resulting in many missed opportunities. Profits being passed up due to not having the right "tools" to work with. Even the "Big Guns" like Than Merrill and his FortuneBuilders, Armando Montelongo, Ron LeGrand and the rest of the "infomercial gurus" only teach a small handful.

The founder of IntelliBiz, Bill Vaughn, began investing in real estate in 1969 and over the last half century has perfected all 24 methods. In fact, he created some, like the original Reverse Mortgage in 1985, which was adopted and adapted by HUD in 1987. And of the 24 methods, (8) do not require cash or credit from the investor, making it possible for anyone to get started.

With so many methods available, Bill has been able to profit from properties that other investors could not, and without regard to the economic situation. 

In 1989 Bill put all his real estate knowledge into a course - "A Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" -  designed to teach others how to do what he does, and has since trained over 140,000 students at a cost affordable to all, as it is offered on a not-for-profit basis. And the course does not stop at teaching the methods - in detail. To help assure every student's success, the course include software that creates the legal documents as needed, (24) real estate related Bonus Books, and even mentoring by seasoned investors who volunteer in the effort to help others succeed.

 

All (24) methods are shown here.

Free real estate books authored by Bill are found here

And Bill's famous ebook on the principles of Success - "Success - by Design" can be downloaded free. It has been downloaded over 4 million times.

As you can see, Bill gives away more material than other "gurus" sell (~.^) We hope you enjoy them all.

If you find value in this post and in the free materials provided, do your family, friends and associates a favor and pass a link to this post on to them. They will thank you for it. And don't forget to share this on your favorite social media sites - giving them free stuff often results in more followers.

May you and yours have a blessed future.

Alternative to Than Merrill's FortuneBuilders - Under $40

Anyone who has an interest in real estate investing has heard of Than Merrill and his FortuneBuilders program. As a life-long investor myself [for more than half a century], I cannot find fault with the quality of his course as far as it goes. That said, few people can afford to invest over $30,000 for the full program. It is for those folks who desire to learn how to grow their wealth investing in real estate but do not have deep pockets that this post presents a very effective alternative that is not only incredibly inexpensive, but includes 24 different strategies that cover every type of market and every economic cycle - "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate". It also includes free mentoring with a professional investor. Most "gurus" charge thousands for the mentoring alone.

For those who are short on available funds and/or credit, of the 24 methods I share, (8) do not require cash or credit, and several make homebuying affordable even in this economy.

My name is Bill Vaughn and I have taught more than 142,000 people how to do what I have been doing since 1969 - years before Than Merrill, Armando Montelongo and most other "infomercial gurus" were born - and I am good at it.

The entire "Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" program - the Guide itself, plus 24 bonus ebooks, agreement software and mentoring - has always been offered at $99.95, but current economic conditions have priced many people out of  the market, even at that low cost so I have decided to offer the entire course here for a full 60% off - just $39.95 - for a limited time. If and when the economy normalizes, this reduced price will come to an end, so if real estate investing has ever been your dream, now is the time to act.

There is a ton of good information (and free stuff) on the main IntelliBiz website including several free real estate related ebooks. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

You also owe it to friends and family to share this post, so they, too, can take advantage of this opportunity.

Whatever you choose to do, I sincerely wish you the prosperity you deserve.

Real Estate Investing for Beginners (even if broke)

 

How many methods for investing in real estate would you say there are? If you go to a Than Merrill or Armando Montelongo seminar, you might think there are two or three. In reality, there are actually 24 basic, legitimate methods for investing in real estate, and not just the two or three that most "infomercial gurus" teach. In fact, if you were to add up all the techniques that all the gurus teach, it would not even make a baker's dozen.

Now you might be thinking, "That's great - but I do not have a suitcase full of cash and a credit score of 820 so 24 methods do not help me very much."  But what if I were to tell you there are eight methods that do not require any cash out of pocket at all, or even good credit? There are even ways to buy real estate without involving banks!

As an example, have you heard of the powerful "no cash" method called "Equity Participation" (EP), aka Equity Sharing? Probably not, because most of the gurus have never heard of it, either. Yet it is a great way to buy a property without making a down payment and if your credit is not good it allows you to use the seller's credit. Sounds too good to be true, I know, but EP is actually sanctioned by the IRS. This method is detailed here...

That is just one of the 24 methods taught in "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate".

Here is a list and brief description of all 24 methods of real estate investing . If you have any interest in real estate it is worth checking out.
 
The 24 Methods of Real Estate Investing

This list is by no means complete, since any two or more of these methods can be combined to create other methods. A good course will teach, in detail, all 24, and will also show you how to combine them to create hundreds more. "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" is the only course that does so and the only one to provide free, unlimited mentoring by professional investors which makes it all so simple - all for under $100 complete. Every one of these strategies are simple, simple, simple - and 8 of them do not even require cash or good credit! So simple, in fact, that most 6th graders can do them. You can start by choosing just one or two methods suited to your situation, then add others as your experience (and bank account) grows.

•     Wholesaling (Assigning) - fast, easy, no closing or financing required. Great way to get started without cash or credit
•     Contract For Deed (Land Contract) - no cash or credit required, no bank involved. Some sellers prefer monthly income to cash-out and will self-finance, for several reasons. Here's how to take advantage of it
•     Apartments - multi-family units, if purchased properly, can create passive income for life. Flipping them can also be very profitable, if done correctly
•     Lease Option - no cash/credit required, no banks involved. Can be used to buy, or to sublet at a profit, or both
•     Master Lease Option - a lease option on an entire apartment complex, providing potentially huge monthly income and a no cash/credit method of buying. No banks involved
•      Triple Net Lease - much like a Master Lease Option, but there are crucial differences. No banks involved  
•     Foreclosures - lenders are often forced to unload these at deep discounts, but there are rules to follow
•     Preforeclosures - many "gurus" confuse foreclosures and preforclosures. Learn how to profit from the differences, and how to find them before anyone else, and before they can get on any list
•     Rehabbing - generally the most profitable real estate investment, but such huge profit comes with risks. Learn how to evaluate rehabs and mitigate the risks
•     Short Sales - more prevalent in hard times, but can be done even in good times. If you and the seller can offer the lender good cause for forgiving part of the mortgage, you can get a huge discount. Find out how
•     Double Escrow - No cash or credit required, legal in all 50 states. But there are new caveats to be aware of, and methods to overcome them
•     Probate - everybody dies. When a homeowner passes, the heirs are often in a hurry to dispose of the property. How to locate these opportunities and profit from them in ways other gurus keep missing
•     Lease & Sublet - No cash or credit required. Learn how to lease at below market rents, then sublet for more; or upgrade the property (with owner's permission) to increase the rent you charge
•     Tax Lien Certificates - Unpaid property taxes result in tax liens on the properties, and a great investment opportunity for those who know the ins and outs, and what properties to avoid
•     Tax Deed Sales - a lot of the same rules as tax liens except you actually get ownership of the property at the tax deed sale. Know how to buy in, and which properties to avoid
•     Equity Sharing (equity participation) - No cash required - you use a portion of the seller's equity as down payment, he gets the balance from your mortgage (which he co-signs for, as partner) and both of you share in the equity from future appreciation. Seller gets his equity back with his share of appreciation typically in 3-5 years when the property is resold or you refi in your name only and pay him off. If you rent the property out, he shares in that, as well. A special agreement is required
•     Reverse Mortgage - If banks are doing it you know there are big profits to be had. You, too, can offer elders a reverse mortgage that can help them live their golden years in greater comfort while building your own net worth
•     Sale & Leasehold - you can sell a property to an investor, and include a long-term lease to yourself at a favorable rate. Then sublet, and raise rents with increased appreciation. Long-term income even after selling the property
•     Buy & Rent - no explanation needed - you buy a property, then rent it out. But you must buy right, or you can end up with an alligator it will eat you alive
•     Sweat Option - a great way to start. An option to buy a property that needs work, and seller permits you to get the work done in exchange for the down payment. You get in without a lot of cash or credit, and end up with a property worth more than you paid
•     Rolling Option - large parcels can be sub-divided. A rolling option allows you to option parcel #1, and when you resell it you roll that option onto parcel #2 and so on. You get in for much less, and it eliminates the risk of ending up with unsold parcels.
•     Option - requires very little cash. An option gives you the right but not the obligation to buy. It also gives you the right to put the property up for re-sale at a higher price, then flip it to your buyer
•     Note Trading - not officially a real estate method, but can be used as such, so we include it here as method #23. Any note or mortgage held by a private party or non-bank corporation can be bought and sold. Often available at as much as 50% below value. How to find them, how to buy them, trade them for real estate, and learn which ones to avoid
•     The B-R-R-R method - parlay one small investment to build a large portfolio of income property

You may notice this list does not include "Subject to", or Sub2. The reason is simply because it is not legitimate, is illegal in some states and immoral in all. It strips the seller of rights while still leaving him responsible. And it can trigger a "due on sale" clause.

This wide variety also indicates why you need a good, quality mentor. Only one course -  "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" - provides mentors who are practicing real estate investors working in the field, and they are always at your disposal

If you have ever thought of investing in real estate, or you simply want to buy your own home in a way that won't break you, you really need to check it out.

Learning Real Estate Now Affordable To All

Until now, learning how to invest in real estate has been a costly venture - late-night infomercial gurus like Than Merrill's Fortunebuilders  and Armando Montelongo charge up to $35,000 for their entire program. Most others charge at least $5,000-$15,000. And "newbies" determined to do it "on their own" without the "know-how" of experience will likely lose his or her money. Let's face it - if you have that kind of money to invest, you should be investing it into real estate, and not stuffing some guru's pocket.

The lowest cost program (by IntelliBiz) has been just under $100 complete for over 30 years, and provides more than the other gurus, but even that is a stiff price for many in this day of high unemployment, high inflation and low incomes. Being a non-profit, we decided that for a limited time only, we would offer our program for just enough to "keep the office lights on". And that is exactly why we have cut the cost of the "Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" program by a whopping 60%.

We have sold over 140,000 copies at $99.95, and our clients have made a lot of money, even without cash or credit. Like Russell, a homeless man in Wilmington MA who pocketed $16,900 on his first no money down deal. And Homero, who got this certified check for $10,000 in less than two weeks. Or this deal that netted a whopping $100,500 net!

We cannot say how long we can make this offer available, since we still have bills to pay, so if it has ever been your dream to live a life without time clocks and with both money and the freedom to enjoy it, there will never be a better opportunity than this.

Check it out for yourself - it costs nothing to look. But the potential cost of not looking can be very high. Think about it - for less than the cost of ordering a couple of pizzas you could be on your way to financial independence...

Real Estate Investing Seminars - Wealth Generators, Or...

seminar - n. : a meeting in which you receive information on and training in a particular subject

That, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Although most seminars are normally exercises in academia, attended by scholars or undergrads and hosted by a knowledgeable professor, the term seminar has recently come to mean almost any gathering of people for the purpose of providing information and training on just about any specific subject. So it is no surprise that real estate gurus from late-night TV are using the seminar circuit to their advantage - and to the disadvantage of "the folks."

The issue we - and the Better Business Bureau - have with this abuse of the seminar is simple: the gurus do not use the "seminar" for disseminating any worthwhile information or providing training on the subject at hand - real estate investing, and how to profit from it. Instead, these "seminar scams" have one purpose - to sell something to the attendees. More particularly, to upsell increasingly expensive add-ons, such as mentoring (coaching), boot camps, bus tours or whatever other terminology they can come up with that sounds really cool! (NOTE: One program, "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" does not utilize such sales gimmicks. When you have a course that actually works, it sells itself by word-of-mouth and gimmicks are not necessary.)

These seminars are nothing more than a re-creation of the old-tyme "Medicine Show", where the barker would attract a crowd with entertainment such as a dancing girl, magic show or sharpshooter, and then go into a fast-talking spiel to get the mesmerized folks in the crowd to buy a bottle of his "cure-all" medicine - which is often referred to as "snake oil". Completely worthless, few people complained much because the "medicine" was alcohol based, designed to make you think you were getting benefits that you were not really getting.

Sound familiar? That's because Than Merrill and his FortuneBuilders franchise, Armando Montelongo, Carleton Sheets, Ron LeGrand and a host of other real estate gurus use those same gimmicks to sell their own brand of snake oil. As FORBES magazine so aptly put it, the only ones getting rich from these seminars are the "gurus" running them.


Do not misunderstand - real estate investing is one of the few tried and true methods whereby the average person on the street can achieve financial independence. But "seminars" hosted by late-night infomercial gurus are unlikely to get you there.

Seminars are a great way to teach, but the infomercial real estate gurus do not use them for that purpose. They have perverted them, and given seminars a bad name in general. And it is not just seminars. It also includes boot camps and bus tours, or any other gathering dedicated to selling. In essence, they are all "Medicine Shows". A rose by any other name...

If you truly want to learn how to invest successfully in real estate and have the benefit of a free coach to walk you through every step, visit "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate".  It is a complete, stand-alone program that actually teaches real estate investing and includes everything you need to succeed, at a cost anyone can afford.

Real Estate Investing - No Cash/Credit Needed

 

 

 

 

If you have found your way to this page you already know that a vast majority of America's wealth is in real estate, and people seeking wealth need to go where the money is. You probably also know that there are two ways to achieve success as a real estate investor - you can stumble through on your own and learn from the school of hard knocks, or you can take a pass on re-inventing the wheel and learn from someone who has already done it.

I will assume you prefer the latter. I will also assume you have been looking into WHO you want to learn from and discovered there are literally dozens of "gurus" looking to pull you into their fold. And you have also discovered that the price for their help is substantial - in fact, some, like Armando Montelongo and Than Merrill and his Fortunebuilders, though they start out with free seminars they end up costing upward of $35,000 for the full program.

And you can't help wondering who they are helping to get rich - their customers, or themselves.

Here is where I can state with some certainty that you will eventually succeed, because the fact you are here indicates you are not willing to give up the dream easily. Nor should you, since there is a very reasonable alternative.

There is a not-for-profit founded over 30 years ago by a professional real estate investor with over 50 years experience. Their mission is to train as many people as possible at a cost that is affordable to everyone - under $100 for the complete package. And that complete package teaches more strategies than any of the other "gurus" - 24 in all - eight of which do not even require cash or credit. Their package also includes free, lifetime mentoring by a professional investor - their mentors are all volunteers, so there is no cost to you.

To date, they have successfully trained over 320,000 people since 1989. The company is IntelliBiz, and its founder, Bill Vaughn, believes knowledge should be both effective and inexpensive. He knows the people who achieve the most success are those who help others do the same. The people who improved the lives of millions - Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford - all grew very wealthy. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap".

If you really want to learn and profit from real estate investing, you should give Bill and IntelliBiz a chance. Homero did, and earned this check for $10,000 within two weeks utilizing the simplest method. It required no cash, no credit, no qualifying for a mortgage.

If you are serious, you owe it to yourself to check out what they offer.
