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.

]]> http://safehighreturninvestmentslosangeles.com/70/ready-to-finally-start-making-money-with-real-estate-investing/feed/ 0 Is Self Storage Investing Worth It? http://safehighreturninvestmentslosangeles.com/3209/is-self-storage-investing-worth-it/ http://safehighreturninvestmentslosangeles.com/3209/is-self-storage-investing-worth-it/#comments Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:48:28 +0000 Roland http://realestateprofitcoach.com/?p=4592

At the last commercial real estate investing workshop we held in Dallas, Texas, one of our students who attended the very first Commercial workshop came up to the front of the room to share some of his experiences with the group. First and foremost, we want to thank him, his name is Stephen Eaton, for doing that. Stephen was a huge hit with the crowd and after they heard what he was doing with mobile home parks and self-storage unit investing, Stephen couldn’t move in the room without a huddle of interested investors following him around!

So, you may have heard that there’s a small group of real estate investors making a killing by accommodating the American public’s propensity to store junk. Stephen was able to put together several deals where he had no money of his own tied up in the deal and capitalize on this American propensity to collect and store. In this post, we’ll explore what he did and whether this is right for you.

Exposing the Myths

Perception is not always reality and this couldn’t be truer than with self storage. I believe there are false perceptions among the real estate community that keeps investors from diving into the self storage business. Test yourself and see how many of these were embedded in your mind about self storage.

Myth #1: There is a self storage facility on every corner. I can’t make money with all of that competition.

It’s true, self storage is a business that has grown from out-of-sight garages in industrial areas to modern multi-use facilities. A billion dollar industry has sprung up in the past twenty years all geared toward development and building. There are more than 45,000 facilities nationwide which equates to over 6 square feet of storage for every U.S. citizen. However, there are investors making phenomenal returns even in overbuilt markets. The key is in purchasing an existing facility at the right price based on actual income and increase the cash flow by operating the business effectively and efficiently.

Stephen however was able to purchase a property that needed some repair, where rents could be raised almost immediately and repairs were mostly cosmetic. Despite the competition in the busy Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, he was able to purchase and profit from a self-storage facility in a very short amount of time.

Myth #2: I either need to build a new facility or buy a newer one to make money.

Most people think that self storage buildings must be cheap to build since they are just metal buildings with doors. Yes, they are cheaper to build than most other commercial buildings, but there is much more to developing and building than meets the eye. In most cases, it’s a laborious process that takes months, if not years, to complete. Then all you have is an empty facility with a large debt service. It may take several years to break even and this is definitely not a fast track to success.

The smart investors are buying existing, older facilities that are poorly operated and need minor repairs. These properties are not on the radar screen of the big companies and can be picked up at great prices. With these facilities, you often start with a positive cash flow and once the repairs have been made and you operate it professionally, the money really starts rolling in. That’s just what Stephen did. He purchased an older facility that really wasn’t that attractive physically. It was not new and it was not modern, but it had potential just because of that. Stephen has been upgrading the property and installing more modern conveniences that enable him to earn an even faster return on his efforts with the property.

Myth #3: It takes a lot of money to get in the self storage business and financing is difficult to obtain.

In many cases, you can purchase a 30,000 square feet, 20 year old facility for less than a single-family home in California. Sure, it is going to be more expensive than most rental houses, but financing is extremely easy to obtain. There are an abundance of lenders nationwide who are fighting for self storage loans and will even finance up to 90 percent of the purchase price. Self storage has some of the best loan programs available in the commercial market with great interest rates and terms. It is due to fact that this asset class has the lowest default rate among all commercial real estate types.

Stephen actually was able to purchase a property with none of his own money down by using the funds he obtained from a private money lender. You can do exactly the same thing.

So, what are the benefits of this type of investment and is it right for you?

Now that we’ve dealt with the most common myths that keep investors from looking at self storage, let’s concentrate on the benefits of this business. Once you grasp these strategies, you will begin to understand why few, if any speakers have ever showed up at your real estate club exposing this great investment.

Benefit #1: Scale – The powers of numbers…An average size self storage facility has 300 units and let’s say that a 10 x 10 unit rents for $60 per month. I typically increase the monthly rental price by five percent each year at my facilities. So, the $60 unit would increase by $3 to $63 per month. $3 times 300 units will increase the cash flow by $900 per month or $10,800 per year. If there were no increases in expenses, the value of the facility just went up over $100,000 due to a $3 per month rental increase. How many jobs out there allow you to increase your income over $10K and add $100K to your retirement every year? What if you could do this every 8 months instead of annually?

Benefit #2: Fees - Better late than never…Late fees are unbelievable in the self storage business. It’s not uncommon for many tenants at my facilities to pay an additional $20 in late fees each month on a $35 per month 5 x 10 rental unit. I have one facility that averages 8 percent of the gross income each month in late fees. This particular property averaged $1,165 per month in 2006 in late fees. Talk about free money and cash flow, it added up to almost $14,000 last year. Not only was it found money (the previous owner didn’t charge late fees), it also increased the value of the property by over $140K.

Benefit #3 : Admin Charges – Give them something for FREE and still make money…One of the easiest profit centers to set up in this business, as long as it is done correctly, is the administration fee. I charge every new customer a $15 administration fee, but give them a new, sturdy cylinder lock as a gift. This lock would most likely cost them about $15 if purchased at a local store, but my cost is only $3 since I buy them in bulk. I have very few customers complain about the fee because they feel like they received something of equal value in return. Bottom-line is I make an additional $12 every time someone moves into a unit. At one facility, we get 15 new customers each month which equates to an additional $180 per month in income from administration fees. This adds another $2,160 per year in income and over $20K to the value of the facility.

Benefit #4: MULTIPLE Profit Centers – These are only three of more than 30 profit centers that I can generate from a self storage facility. Some of the others include record storage, ebay consignment, mailbox rental, moving supplies, outside RV/boat parking, packing and shipping services, notary services, fax services, copy services and the list is as long as your imagination.

Self storage can truly set you free financially and it’s one area where you don’t have to trip over other real estate investors looking for deals. It obviously worked for Stephen, and it is an area that we are planning on getting much more involved in at the beginning of 2011.

Okay there are 3 tips and they are all in the same area, staging. The purpose of staging is to make your house as appealing as possible to the buyer.

First, The Not So Secret Tips

You want your property that you are trying to sell to look big, open, spacious and welcoming, so the first step is to empty the house out as much as possible, leaving just a few key pieces of furniture to help set the mood. Make sure all necessary repairs are done.

Clean the carpets, walls and especially the front lawn and your doorway, as that’s your buyer’s first impression.

Make sure the front door is clean or freshly painted.

The 3 Staging Secrets

Secret #1 – Scent

Most people don’t realize how important scent is. Out of the five senses, scent actually has the strongest direct link to our emotions. Since most buyers in your area are going to buy based on emotions, it’s vital that you make sure your house smells great. Scented Air Fresheners or Candles will work wonders. Pet odors are a major turn off and will require extreme cleaning.

Secret #2 – Lighting

Most people underestimate how important lighting is when it comes to staging. Open all the curtains and turn on all the lights. If it’s still too dim, get some extra lamps to help with lighting. A brightly lit home seems cheery and inviting, while a dark home seems gloomy and depressing.

Secret #3 – Collect Contract Info and Follow up

Collecting the contact information of your potential buyers or their agent’s contact info, allows you to drastically increase the chances of them returning or making an offer. Less experienced real estate investors are less likely to want to make “warm calls” (cold calls from leads,) so be sure you’re either willing to do that yourself, you hire it out to someone who will do it, you have a partner who will take care of this for you or your are working with an agent who’s willing to do this. Very often Buyers will be considering more than one property and can be convinced to take a second look.

If you follow all the common sense tactics of home staging, then on top of that make sure you home has a great scent that accentuates the house, is properly lit and you follow up with your prospects, you’ll be far ahead of the curve when it comes to selling your home.

What If You Don’t Have A Credit Score, You’re Just Starting Out and Want To Invest In Real Estate?

No Credit Scores? Not to worry. It’s actually quite common. There are lots of people out there that don’t have any credit. It is like a double edge sword, no credit could hurt you, but bad credit will definitely hurt you. Normally people that have no credit scores, fall into two categories.

1. Young and just starting out.

2. They pay cash for everything.

FHA Loans To The Rescue

Luckily there is hope for individuals that don’t have credit scores and want to buy a home as a real estate investment. There is a loan called FHA, which is a life saver for lots of happy homeowners. FHA is the single largest insurer of loans in the world.

This particular loan is more lenient with banks, because it is insured by HUD. The qualifying process is less stringent. FHA does not require credit scores to get a mortgage. It offers an alternative in place of no scores. It will allow you to provide alternate lines of credit.

Typically the underwriter will require 3 sources. The following would work.

1. Last 12 month payment history from any utility company.

2. Day Care payment history for the last 12 months

3. Letter from car insurance provider.

4. Life insurance payment.

Here are some of the benefits of a FHA loan.

1. Low down payment

2. No credit scores required

3. Easy credit qualifying

Best of All FHA Is STILL Lending!

FHA has been helping families since 1934, and its still is doing so. Even with all the changes going on in the mortgage industry, this particular loan is still the strongest provider of home ownership today. So if you don’t have any credit scores, the answer is yes, you can get a mortgage.

FHA typically requires 3% investment from the buyers, but it will allow you get a 3% gift from a blood relative or Bond money assistance from your local city. It will also allow the seller to pay 6% of your closing costs, so you can essentially get into a house with little or no money at all.

Are you currently in a CH 13 bankruptcy? No problem, you can get a mortgage as long as you have been in the bankruptcy for a minimum of 12 months. The trustee is required to give written permission for you to purchase a home.

There is no other loan program that has this type of guidelines. You can also get low interest rates with FHA, even though you have no scores, or low scores. I personally think its one of the best loans to help low income families into a mortgage.

Do you have medical collections; well FHA does not require you to pay off medical collections, even recent ones. So I think you get the idea, it’s a great loan for all types of situations.

Maximizing the income potential of your investment property can be quite the task, but necessary if you want to be competitive in a surging market. The demand for quality rental homes, condos and properties is at an all time high and Destin is no exception to this trend.

The real estate market is one of the strongest in the world as millions of people flock to the USA on a yearly basis for vacations and relaxation. This has caused a boom in the tourism industry and the creation of jobs, services and an abundance of housing.

The first thing you should decide is what kind of rental property is your investment going to be. Is it going to be a long term rental or , are you going to market to the vacation rentals market? Both have their definite advantages.

The advantage of long term rentals is the fact that there are dependable (hopefully) tenants. Tenants that are paying monthly and that is a major attraction if you want to have that property paid off quickly and with a minimum amount of concern. The vacation rentals market can be a little more worry some, but the weekly rental rates can compare easily to a monthly rental price.

Once you have chosen which vein of rentals you are going to market to, you should consider any renovations that need to be done to appeal to your chosen market. Long term renters will be looking for things like proximity to work, schools, shopping and the like.

Location is extremely important for renters. Vacation renters are looking for a different type of convenience, mainly that the rental is within driving distance of major attractions, beaches and restaurants.

If you have chosen to go with the vacation rentals market there are a few things that you should do to ensure that your home stays rented for as much of the year as possible. One thing that is extremely important it the actual marketing of your home to consumers.

There is no better way to do this than with an excellent website. Also, be sure to keep the home in pristine condition. You home must look appealing to prospective renters from across the country and the world. Likely the only look they will have at the home before they arrive is online. Make sure that your home looks they way it does online when they arrive. Maybe they will recommend your home to others!

Renting homes in either market is a tried and tested way of making some great money. Not only do the homes pay for themselves, but you are accruing equity the whole time, and that will only allow you to increase your net worth and maybe pick up another home or two to expand your real estate portfolio.

Ask anyone who has ever owned rental property and they’ll tell you… It was great except for the tenants! Tenants and managing an income property can be one of the toughest challenges you ever face in your real estate investing exploits

Property managers say they have a hard job to do everyday. They say that they have to deal with angry customers all day or do rough manual labor. Even some people say their job is hard because their manager above them asks them to do work they are not paid for. Let us look at the facts. Everyone that has a job will always find something difficult about it and want to tell others how hard it truly is. No one is going to say that their job is not as important because they do not work hard for what they do for a living.

In America, there are a variety of jobs out there for the average person. There is retail, construction, customer service, etc. and they all have different expectations and pay for a good honest day of work. Most of these people when they are off work get the opportunity to go out and enjoy life it they are not too tired to do so. Most people can get in there cars and drive home, put their feet up and not have to worry about their jobs until they come in the next day for work. There are people out there trying to make an honest living that do not get to do some of the simple things listed above. People involved in some types of rental property management have one of the types of jobs that you do not always get to go out and do what you want.

In rental property management, especially the mangers that deal with self storage, their days and nights revolve around their property. These managers most of the time live on site and have to deal with some late night calls from tenants, the police showing up due to a security breach or something just as annoying as the security gate not working. In rental property management, you have to deal with it all for the most part.

After your hard day on the property, answering phones, maintenance, etc, sometimes they would like to go out and unwind. Unfortunately, with most properties, they are the only manager that can deal with issues that might arise. So that evening out does not happen. Now that is one extreme of some people in rental property management. Some properties have relief managers in place so the actual property manager can go out and enjoy a quiet evening not having to worry about their facility.

Most people could not imagine not being able to go out and do what they desire after work. Some people in rental property management cannot because they want to ensure that their clients know someone will always be available when they need assistance.

That is most of the time a great selling point for managers to tell their prospective customers. Think about it. Would you want to live somewhere or rent a storage unit from a facility that had someone readily available if you were having troubles with your unit?

It is believed that most people would. That is why most people involved in rental property management do what they have to do to get more business. This type of career is not for everyone. It does take some getting use to.

So next time you are complaining that your job is hard and so forth, at least be grateful that you can take off early or after work to go enjoy yourself. When most people leave their jobs for the day, their job is an afterthought. With some on site managers, they sometimes wonder how many calls they will have to take tonight to take care of facility or customer issues.

Epic Traffic Systems

Epic Traffic Systems

Here’s the complete updated Epic Traffic Systems Bonus You’ll Receive If You Get Epic Traffic Systems Through My Link

So, if you’re here you probably already know that you absolutely MUST have Epic Traffic Systems and all its super awesome tools to make the most money possible online, right? The only question is, who should you get Epic Traffic Systems from?

A Bonus Package So Good We Call This The “Epic Traffic Systems Professional Advanced Edition”

Why do we call it the “Pro” edition? Because if you are truly going to be a professional Internet marketer and super affiliate, someone who can actually quite their day job and make a living, and a damn good one, online, you’re going to need more that just the plain vanilla “basis” Epic Traffic System. You’re going to need to have the strategies and tactics to be able to convert your traffic into cash (with Epic Conversion Systems), make a killing with five figure commissions from fast cash “launches” (with Epic Launch Systems), get one on one advice (and help) when you run into snags (Epic Mentoring Systems) and brainstorm with some of the brightest marketing minds in the business (Epic Mastermind Systems).

The ONLY place you can get ALL of these things with your Epic Traffic Systems program is right here, right now. Oh, and this is not limited to the first 10 people or any of that kind of shenanigans. No sir, EVERYONE who gets Epic Traffic through my link gets ALL of these bonuses. No ifs, ands or buts!

This bonus is worth over $6,000.00 in Real World No BS Value, and has the missing pieces you need to get the most from your Epic Traffic program.

Don’t be fooled by offers of hours and hours of videos you’ll never watch, pdf reports you’ll never read and audios you’ll never listen to. Get your Epic Traffic program here and get ALL the missing pieces, lost files and essential advanced training you’ll need to give you an almost unfair competitive advantage over the rest of the competition (even other ETS users!).

Make Money Online With The Best Epic Traffic Systems Bonus

Well, you could get it directly from the ETS site, but that wouldn’t make a lot of sense would it? I mean, it costs the same no matter where you get it. So, why not get it through me and get a TON of cool stuff with it. Not only that, the bonuses I’m giving you are going to take Epic Traffic Systems to the next level with all sorts of Advanced Epic Training and even more Epic Traffic Tools that you cannot get anywhere else. Here’s what you get…

Epic Traffic Systems Bonus

Epic Traffic Systems Bonus

Bonus #1 – Epic Apple iPad Bonus ($500.00 Real Value)

You get a 16GB Wifi iPad to run your traffic empire with. You can use this super cool tool to build self-contained traffic systems that rocket your sites to the top of Google and build up backl inks and traffic so you can sell your sites like Keith Baxter does.

Bonus #2 – Epic Conversion Systems ($1,000.00 Real Value)

You get all of my notes from the super secret and still not released program that’s being offered sometime later this year (or next) by Internet Marketing Guru F _ _ N K – K _ _ N. This is so secret I can’t even give his full name, but I was one of a very select few who learned this information that has been responsible for over $1 million in sales according to this guru in just the last year in each of several different niches.

This is super important because all that traffic you are going to be generating with Epic Traffic Systems isn’t going to be worth a penny if you can’t get it to convert into buyers of your products or services. Epic Conversion Systems does just that! It’s the missing piece that you can’t get from ETS and with the template conversion system that’s included in Epic Conversion Systems, you’ll be converting your traffic to cash in no time at all.

Epic Launch Systems

Epic Launch Systems

Bonus #3 – Epic Launch Systems ($1,000.00 Real Value)

Okay, this is yet another missing piece from Epic Traffic. Have you noticed how many HUGE launches are going on for new products now every single day? There are so many products in so many different niches being released that you could actually make a living doing just one or two per month.

In fact, that’s exactly what I did last month, and I generated just under $100,000 in sales during one five day period. Epic Launch Systems will show you how to do exactly the same thing including 1) how to find a hot launch product, 2) how to get approved as an affiliate for that launch, 3) how to compete with the “big list” guys even if you have no list, no website and no traffic of your own, 4) how to create an irresistible launch bonus to suck customers away from other affiliates, and 5) how to keep your buyers happy long after the launch so they will buy even more stuff from you.

This never before released bonus breaks it all down for you. If you’re sick and tired of making a few thousand dollars a month as an affiliate or even if you’ve never made a dime, this system is going to be the key to unlock the income you’ve always wanted. I know this works because I did it myself while I was stuck in an airport during the volcano erupting in Iceland. I was earning five figure commissions working from my laptop in an airport hotel room while everyone else was complaining about going bankrupt from being stranded.

Bonus #4 – Epic Mentoring Systems ($1,000.00 Real Value)

One of the biggest missing pieces for you as you start using ETS is having a “go to” person, a mentor, someone who is doing this for a living, that you can call on to answer any questions you have and to help get you making the most money the fastest. You’ll get my personal cell phone and e-mail so that you can get help fast from someone who knows what they are talking about!

Bonus #5 – Epic Mastermind Systems ($1,000.00 Real Value)

Ask any super successful person how they made it to the top and how they stay there and you’ll get the same answer – They network with other super successful people in “mastermind” groups. When you get ETS through my link, you’ll get an invitation to join our Epic Traffic Systems Mastermind, a group of ETS users who are committed to sharing what is working for them best as they use their own Epic Traffic Systems program to make money right now.

Epic Traffic Systems - Lost Files

Epic Traffic Systems - Lost Files

Bonus #6 – The Lost Epic Training Files ($1,500.00 Real Value)

I have super secret, extremely rare footage of behind the scenes training for the Epic Traffic Systems that almost no one has ever seen and, as far as I know, that is totally unavailable. Here’s what it includes…

  • Epic Keyword Training – Complete online video training of how to find buyer keywords and integrate them into your Epic Traffic Suite.
  • Epic Success Secrets – In-depth online video training strategies show you in detail how to maximize the results and profitability of your campaigns.
  • Epic PPC Secrets – A bonus webinar where you watch over the shoulder of Jon Shugart as he goes Step-by-Step building a PPC campaign for a popular CPA offer for the Content Network.

Trust me, this is the BEST Epic Training Systems Bonus you could possibly ever receive!

So, get yourself over to the good old Epic Traffic site right now, just click the link below (be sure to clear or empty your cookies first to ensure you qualify for all these bonuses) by clicking the link below and get yourself hooked up with the best Epic Traffic bonus on the planet!

CLICK HERE TO GET EPIC TRAFFIC SYSTEMS WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE BONUSES

IMPORTANT LEGAL STUFF

If you get Epic Traffic Systems through my link, I will get paid a commission by them as their affiliate. I’m using part of that commission to get you your bonuses. As soon as I get confirmation of the following, you’ll get ALL of your bonuses… 1) You have to e-mail me a copy of your receipt for purchase at EpicTraffic@gmail.com, 2) I have to get credit for your sale from ETS, 3) you have fully paid for your Epic Traffic Systems program, and 4) any refund/guaranty period has expired. When all of that has happened, I’ll send you your bonuses. You’ll get some of your bonuses before all of these things happen as I release them, but obviously I can’t get your physical product bonuses until I get paid. Make sense?
