Summer is fully in swing now and we are actively and aggressively taking advantage of all of the opportunities to invest that are out there in the market right now.
Buying Foreclosed Properties At Auction
Many of you who have listened to us speak recently are aware that we have been working in Las Vegas with a group to purchase bank owned properties at foreclosure auctions.
The market in Las Vegas is active and filled with eager buyers for properties in the $250,000 and under range and there are typically over 100 properties per day (yes per day) on the auction block.
We connected with a group of real estate agents there who represent several large financial institutions and they are doing the analysis and purchasing at auction for us. We ran them through a pretty extensive screening and due diligence process to determine their track record with their own investments in this market and found that they personally had over $1 million invested and had average returns per property of about 20% with an average turn time of about 90 days.
That means 20% on your money turned 4 times per year (every 90 days) for a total return on average of about 80%. Now that got out attention!
What We’ve Done So Far
So, after doing that due diligence and research, we went to Las Vegas and met the guys, visited their offices, looked at properties they had purchased and went to the auction to check it out. It all checked out as a real business, so we made the decision to invest.
On May 13th, 2010, I headed to the bank and got $1,250,000.00 in cashier’s checks and hopped on a plane to Vegas. The next day, I went to the auction and we bought our first property. Since then, we’ve purchased about 12 total properties and have fully invested our $1,250,000.00. Now, on July 7th, we have 1 of those properties in escrow and about 6 more under contract in the process of heading into escrow.
Our returns on these properties is running from about 15% on the low side to almost 50% on the high side. We’re projecting an average return of somewhere between 15% – 20% to be realistic. We do believe that we should be able to liquidate all of these properties by August 15th, so that would put us within our 90 day turn target.
Extrapolating all this out, it looks like we really will be averaging 15% – 20% per transaction and turning our money about 4 times per year, for a total net return on investment of between 60% and 80% annually.
Using Private Money For Real Estate Investing To Leverage Our Position
As soon as we complete our initial “proof cycle” we’ll be going out to raise about a total of $25 Million. We already have commitments for a second round of investments of about $3 million for the Las Vegas adventure. We’re not accepting any new funds right now, because we do want to get through the first turn so we have all real numbers from a live investment to share with our private lenders.
We’ll be offering them the ability to invest through limited liability companies that average around $1.2 million to $2.4 million, with whoever invests at that particular time being able to participate with 2 – 6 other investors to spread risk over 10 – 20 different properties at a time.
While our initial investments have been in Northern California and Nevada, we will also be extending our activities into Phoenix, Arizona soon.
Can You Do This?
Yes, of course you can! That’s why we’re sharing it with you here now. You can find serious players in your area who are successfully working the auction markets. Just go to the local real estate auction for several auctions in a short period, say one month. Note who the active and consistent buyers are and just strike up a conversation with them. Let them know that you have funding and are looking for someone to take care of the actual buying, fixing up and turning of the properties.
Once you have made your connection, check them out by asking for a history of their investment activity and performance. Once you are satisfied that everything is in order, go through a “test” transaction with them for a smaller amount, then after it proves up, gradually invest more.
We’ll keep you posted on how we’re doing with this project as it continues to evolve.

Any question you have, just ask me, because I’m going to give you my personal phone number and you can just call me any time for six full months and ask me anything you like about your business and how to be more successful with it.

Main Street Marketing Machines Review – Can You Really Make $10,000 – $15,000 Per Month Or Is It Just Another Scam?
I received the following e-mail question from someone who asked me just exactly what they would have to do to really make Main Street Marketing Machines work for them and generate $10,000 – $15,000. I wanted to post it up here and show you my answer.
This is really what it will take for you to make this work and make you money. There’s a little work involved, no doubt, but because between my bonuses and what MSMM already includes you get a COMPLETE system to make this thing go, the work is really not that hard, not at all technical and can truly be done by anyone who goes through the materials and puts this into practice. Here’s the e-mail and response…

Hi Roland. I met you last year at the Dallas Commercial Paper workshop. I would live to learn how to even make $10,000-$15,000 per month doing this. So many products and so-called gurus selling their stuff. Can you tell me realistcally what it takes to makes this happen???

My Response
Hey Rebecca!
How have you been? What’s happening with your commercial real estate investing?
Okay, I can actually tell you because I’m doing it myself, and that’s always a good thing to know before you invest in anything. I’m going to go into some detail here, so I hope it’s not more than what you were asking for, but I just want to be sure that you understand exactly what you need to do to really make this work and get what you want from the program if you decide to invest in it.So, let’s start with your question… making $10,000 – $15,000 is totally doable, and here’s exactly what you would need to do to make it happen…
1. Identify some high paying potential client categories that you can market the service to (I’ve already done this so you don’t have to, but think about people who spend a lot on their marketing like attorneys, doctors, plastic surgeons, chiropractors, contractors (painters, plumbers and such), etc.)
2. Use Google’s Adwords Keyword Tool (it’s free and really easy to use) to research the search volume for how many searches for these types of businesses are done on Google each month. (This takes about 20 – 30 minutes)
3. Create a marketing video to get a lead capture site ranked for that niche that you are targeting, say attorneys. (1 hour to create and you’ll need either a Flip or Kodak Zi8 video camera which costs about $200)
4. Submit the video using the Main Street Marketing Machines tools. (This will take about 20 – 30 minutes to do once you’ve gone to the various sites and set up a user name and password. Setting up those accounts (a one time thing) will take you an hour or two if you do it yourself or the MSMM people will do it for you for $97. I set them up myself)
5. Screen capture the results (so you can show them to your prospective clients to prove you can do what you say you can). (This will take 20 – 30 minutes)
6. Shoot your video to pitch your prospects (this will take about 1 hour per market category you want to market to, so say 1 hour to do a pitch video for attorneys). I have a killer pre-done script that you can use for this.
7. Create a sales page (about 1 hour if you work hard on it or less time if you don’t)
8. Send e-mail (send an e-mail to the people in the business of the category that you want to get to hire you. The way you get the leads is to just Google search the keyword you are ranking for, say “San Diego Attorneys” and then go to the top 30 search results, get the e-mails of the people who show up there and then send the e-mails to those people. I can give you the marketing e-mails for this.)
9. Get paid
If you go through the materials in the MSMM program (you can do that in about a week if you are focused on it), so that you’re up to speed on how to work Traffic Geyser, I’d say you can very realistically make $10,000 in the first 60 days and then make $10,000 – $15,000 per month after that regularly if you work this 20 hours per week.
Of course, you can make a lot more than that, but that would take more effort. I’m so passionate about this product, because I am absolutely certain it works and that the only thing that can hold anyone back from making money with it is just not doing the program.
Also, I’m here to answer any questions you have either now or later about this. I’m more than happy to share with you what I’m doing, how I’m using the program and what I’m up to with it. Let me know if I can help or answer anything else.
You’re right about all the gurus selling all the stuff. It’s really sad being on the inside and seeing so many of them that are just out to make a buck. I can promise you that Mike Koenigs, the guy behind Main Street Marketing Machines, is truly interested in helping people and that he is not just another guru. He has a killer product and stands behind it and even off the stage, he talks about helping his clients succeed.
I don’t promote a ton of products, just the ones I really believe can help people and that I use myself. This is one that I paid full price for and that I use all the time. Better still, it’s one that I’m focusing my attention on right now and over the next several months to use in building my own local search marketing business.
Hope that helps and feel free to ask me anything else you like.
Cheers,
Roland Frasier

If you haven’t got any experience trading in the Forex market, one of the quickest ways to learn is a Google search. There are dozens of websites devoted to Forex and products that promise to help you make a profit in the Forex market. Foreign exchange trading can be profitable.
I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not just profitable for the gurus who sell products to help people get started in Forex trading. You can actually make money by playing the foreign exchange market.
One website that I found to be interesting is Fapturbo.com. This website, contains everything that a foreign exchange trading newbie would ever need to learn about trading practically because it sells a forex robot.
It may be your first time hearing about this but you can actually become a millionaire by doing nothing in the field of forex trading. Of course, you would just have to buy an effective forex robot. Then, your trading will run on autopilot and money will just be deposited straight to your account.
Hard to believe isn’t it? I, myself, have been a doubter of what forex robots can do but with this website, I was able to convince myself that something as big as that is really possible.
I’ve only been using the robot a few months, but I have been making a profit. I don’t know much about software or computers, but the explanations the site gave me helped a lot. One thing that helped to sell me was the sixty day money back guarantee. If it was going to work, I’d surely know in sixty days.
Not a lot of websites have this ability to convince people to get their product but with all the proofs indicated there, it is really hard to ignore what they are selling. After all, the product is so cheap that you would not really mind spending that much if it guarantees you thousands of dollars back.
I was convinced that the robot was worth the small investment. What the heck, if I didn’t make money, I could always get that back. Unlike some sites that promise you will make money on every trade, Fapturbo does tell you that you may not make money on every trade. That was one thing that made me believe they were for real. They do say that you’ll at least make back your initial investment in 60 days and I have.
If you’re worried about Internet scams, you’ll probably do what I did and check out the sites that report scams and fraud. You won’t find Fapturbo.com on any of those sites. There were no consumer complaints that I could find at all. The site doesn’t make any over the top claims and their product actually works. I promise. It’s easy to use and once you set it up, you’ll make money. If you don’t, they give you your money back.
100% seems really ridiculous anyway so a website claiming to have the ability to provide that just affects its credibility.
It is extremely easy to earn money. Thank god for these forex websites, we are able to learn of the ways to gain money from the Internet.
