Real Estate Investing Works In Your Area Too!

I hope you had a spectacular weekend!

Things have been going great here at Investor Wealth Academy,and we are very excited about some major developments coming down the line for us later this summer.

More on that later.

Last Friday I was on the phone with a perspective client ofours. Let's call him "Jeff". Now, I have to be honest with you here, what Jeff had to say during our conversation was very bothersome to me, and by the end of the call I finally had to tell him that before we Could help him succeed, he'd have to change his perception about the Business.

After thinking about his comments all weekend I realized thatJeff's limiting beliefs are probably more common than I'd like to admit. But how can I help people change their perceptions?

Then, I was browsing around in my neighborhood Barnes & Noble yesterday, looking for a good read, when the newest edition of TIME magazine caught my attention!

Now I usually don't read TIME, but a headline on the cover caught my attention: Home Sweet Home - Why We're Going Gaga Over Real Estate"

I grabbed it and found some interesting numbers you need to hear.

WARNING: IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT USES THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AS AN EXCUSE FOR A LACK OF SUCCESS, THIS INFORMATION WILL SHOCK YOU!

Real estate values are appreciating like wildfire across thecountry. The time to be investing in real estate is right now.Look at these statistics that the Time article provided:

As Lou and I travel the country speaking in various cities around the country, We hear a recurrent comment that goes something like this: "I know investing in real estate works where you live, but I live in a Sellers' (or Buyers') market. It doesn't work here"

Yet their local investors' association is filled with peoplemaking money right in their city. What's different between them?

Simple, It's just their attitude.

Whether you live in a sellers' or a buyers' market, you can make a killing in real estate! Look at the appreciation thatis occurring across the country. You may need to adjust yourstrategies for the marketplace, but either way the profitpotential is there. If it is a buyers' market, then motivatedsellers are having even more difficulty disposing of their unwanted property. What an opportunity for you to solve their problem, and create an incredible profit margin.

Motivated sellers usually do not realize they're in a sellers'market. You have to Improve and increase your marketing to findthe motivated sellers before they Get educated about the market.When you create these deals, you'll have absolutely no troubleselling - it's a sellers' market.

The point is, don't allow yourself excuses. Look at every market condition as a new opportunity. The ones that truly get wealthy are those that can thrive regardless of the external environment. Become a thriver!

I hope you have an INCREDIBLE investing week!

More than 40 states signed onto a proposed $25-billion settlement with major mortgage servicers over faulty foreclosure procedures, but California, New York and other key states were still not among them.

California has until Monday to share in a multi-state deal with banks to obtain mortgage relief and reforms. Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris, who walked away from talks last year, says the door remains open.

With a Monday deadline at hand, California officials have resumed direct talks with the Obama administration about joining a multibillion-dollar, multi-state mortgage settlement with the nation's largest banks, a source said Sunday.

The talk show host pays $12 million for the 4,088-square-foot house with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The ocean-view home sits on 1.26 bluff-top acres with beach access.

Do you fit any of these descriptions?

A biennial research report by the National Assn. of Realtors indicates that a handful of real estate agents and brokers and their clients either don't know the law or don't care to follow it.

When it comes to lawsuits, real estate agents and brokers tangle mostly among themselves.

The president aims to help about 3.5 million people with good credit who are unable to refinance at historically low rates because their homes are worth less than their mortgages.

 

The White House hopes to help millions of homeowners lower their monthly mortgage bill with a $5 billion to $10 billion plan to set up a streamlined refinancing program for people who are current on their payments.

The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index of 20 large U.S. cities fell 1.3% in November from October as foreclosures continue to drag down the housing market.

Three straight months of home-price declines in the biggest U.S. cities showed that foreclosures remain a significant drag on a housing market that is entering its fifth year of deterioration.

L.A. Clipper Chris Paul may be quick down the court, but he moves pretty fast when it comes to buying multimillion-dollar real estate too.
