You know what I’m talking about right? Those dudes that stand in the hot ass sun all day holding up a big arrow or sign. It’s like a bandit sign on steroids. (Tip: These work really well for buying or flipping properties. Just find someone with a lot of energy that will dance in the middle of the street w/ your sign)

Anyway it was around that time that I started learning more about gold and silver, and I’ve been buying some ever since.

With the recent price drop around the precious metals over the past month, many people are wondering if the precious metals bull market is coming to an end… If they should sell now at a loss before the price dives even more…

So… Are they right? Should you sell your metals, or buy more? Is the price going to increase or decrease from here?

Well check out the video above.

Mike Maloney is the nations foremost expert on gold and silver. He wrote the book Guild to Investing in Gold & Silver with Robert Kiyosaki, which I highly recommend you get! You can get it at amazon here:

We live in crazy times and you need to know how to protect yourself. Well this is just one way of preserving your financial future.

Ok so here’s the deal; Whenever you are in the car driving to wherever you are going, don’t take the same route you always take. Take the non-scenic route through different neighborhoods, and look for the following:

1. Vacant distressed properties (look for all the signs like over grown grass, boarded up windows, letters on door or window, over stuffed mailbox, etc…)

2. Rehab crews working on a property: Find the head contractor or crew chief and give him your business card. Tell him what you do for a living and ask if you can speak to the owner (and/or if he can put you in contact with him). Often times the owner will be an investor.

In addition, get the head contractors contact info as you might be able to use them in the future.

Key Tip: Follow-up is critical to your success as a real estate investor. If you are shy or afraid of following up, then you will have a hard time succeeding. Follow up until you get what you are after, or until they tell you to go fly a kite.

This is what we use to follow up (and it works)

3. For Sale By Owner and For Rent signs - Always Always Always call these signs and make offers! On the “For Rent” signs, ask the owner if he is looking for additional properties to buy. If he/she is, ask to put them on your email list!

BTW – Always look in the MLS or public records for all the CASH transactions that have closed in the past 3-6 months, and look for the zip codes that have the most investor activity. These are great neighborhoods to “Drive for Dollars” and look for the 3 things I mentioned above.

Here is a great program that we use to find all these cash buyers as well as give us seller leads to hook them up with

Well have you ever been hounded by the “sign police” for ‘illegally’ putting your sign on the sign of the road or intersection? If you or someone on your team (hint hint) has at least put out 20 signs, you have probably received threatening phone calls to take down your signs or risk fines and penalties.

Well here is a unique way to avoid having to deal with the sign police, and still attract quality Cash Buyers for your wholesale deals:

***Put Bandit Signs in the Front Yard of Vacant Houses***

If the owner of the property calls you about the sign, just apologize and tell them you will take it down.

Note: They rarely ever call as they are distressed homes and either they don’t care, or they are long gone. If they do call, here’s a good idea: MAKE THEM AN OFFER!

Another tip is to ALWAYS call the # you see on bandit signs, as these can also be quality cash buyers (or sellers)

Hope you liked some of these tips.

“What are you putting off for the future, that you can do today?”

“Are you spending time on things that do not matter, with people that matter?”

This short 5 minute video can really change the way you approach life from this day forward.

Comment below and let me know what you think of this video. What is the big ‘take-away’ you get from it?

First of all, if you are not flipping REOs you are leaving a ton of money on the table.

It’s not difficult at all, but like anything else, you need to get educated as to how the game really works.

So here are some free tips for ya:

Stop for a second and think about that very simple question. “How bad do you want to succeed?”

Do you think you want it? Or do you REALLY want it?

In other words are you willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to get what you want? If the answer to that is ‘YES’ than prove it!

Actions speak a lot louder than words mi amigo so when you sweat blood and tears than you know you are well on your way.

I have been training Mixed Martial Arts now for about 6 months and have had the opportunity to work with pro fighters. I can tell you that the ones that succeed and are champions are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals.

So how does this apply to your life and your real estate investing career? Do you continue to educate yourself and buy every course under the sun, only to find yourself not doing anything with all the knowledge you have accumulated, or are you actually out their doing deals and cashing checks?

If you are not doing deals and making things happen then by now you should know why. You apparently don’t want it bad enough! Watch this video and let it inspire you and move you to greatness.

If anyone ever tells you ‘you can’t do it’, slap them in the face (I’m half kidding). Hope you like this video. Talk to you soon.

Of course, it wasn’t always that way. When things first took off for me, one of my significant other’s biggest complaints was that I basically never left the “office”. Even when I wasn’t physically there, my mind was on work and I was constantly shuffling papers, taking calls, reviewing deals and looking to grow, grow, grow. And I still feel that passionate about my business today. So what’s different? I learned to manage my time in a way that did not detract from my ability to do high volumes of deals: I automated.

Automation is absolutely critical to your real estate investing success unless you just want to spend every waking moment thinking about real estate investing. And it’s not as hard as you might think. Here are some important things to start doing now in order to take some of the weight off your shoulders in your real estate investing business:

1.    Set up a call-answering service

There are some very simple things that can and should be done to establish whether or not a seller is motivated and the deal fits your criteria. Have an answering service do this pre-screening.

2.    Establish a bird-dog system

Reward the people that bring you deals! Make sure that everyone you know knows that if they bring you a potential deal that results in a successful transaction that you will make sure to compensate them appropriately. The first time this happens and a deal closes, you will have a dedicated deal-finder for life. And they’re essentially “free” because you only pay when you make money.

3.    Put your routine down on paper

Even if you are not yet in a position to hire a virtual assistant (VA), you need to have a manual of operations in place. This will help you and your staff become more efficient. So write down what you do each day, then evaluate it for time-saving opportunities and determine what could potentially be outsourced for a low cost.

As you develop a clearer routine for your business, you will find that many aspects can be automated. In no time, you will be able to enjoy the aspects of real estate you are passionate about without your friends and family feeling as if they have been “deserted.”

Action Item: Draw Your Day

Make a timeline of a typical day. Then, check it against reality to determine how you are really spending your time. Where necessary or appropriate, adjust your behaviors or the time allotted to a specific activity to make your work day more efficient.

Well I posted this on my facebook yesterday and my friends have been giving me crap about it all day, lol…

Can a man not get a manicure / pedicure these days?

Does fighting and training with deadly weapons mean I can’t take care of my hands and feet?

(Be careful how you answer or I may have to practice what I know on you

Truthfully I’m going because my girlfriend says the little asian women gives banging foot massages and how can I say ‘no’ to that?

I’ll let you know how those weekend activities go before I hit Vegas next week, but in the meantime let’s get down to business.

Seems like the real estate investing community is in a buzz since I posted the free video about how a 22 year old kid made $26,000 from the tiny bedroom in his mama’s house using a strategy that not many people take advantage of…

I’ve received a ton of emails and my poor assistant has fielded a bunch of calls in the past few days from people that want to know if this really works. Well I can absolutely tell you that this works because we do it every single day. It’s 100% legal, legit, and you don’t need a penny to do it.

This is not like one of those programs or courses that says you don’t need any money and then the truth is you need to spend a few hundred bucks on marketing. We teach you how to “No-Risk Wholesale“ without needing a dime to your name.

This economy sucks…for most people, but it hasn’t affected us one bit.

Unfortunately 95% of people are sleep walking through life and are going to be totally hosed when this country experiences the greatest depression the world has ever seen, but you can position yourself to join the elite 5% of people that receive the biggest wealth transfer in mankind…and you need to start HERE.

Well enjoy the video. I’m off to my tactical shotgun training and I’ll post pictures on my facebook soon. But don’t expect pictures of my manicure/pedicure

Oh before I forget, I haven’t responded to my friends yet. The person that gives me the “wittiest” or “savviest” comeback line(s), will get free access to this training we just launched. And the video is coming down soon so hook a brother up and COMMENT BELOW! (I’ll announce the winner on Monday)
