A Transformation with Real Estate Investing

Brian Evans

If you are in search of a financial transformation for money now, money later, and an empire of wealth to sleep on and pass down from generation to generation then keep reading.

I want you to know, that a committed and self-made millionaire investor has written this for you in an attempt to open your eyes and inspire you about the real income potential of real estate investing, despite what you may hear in the media.  In fact, I would wager that you and I are not all that different.  I was once a flat-broke southern boy from Kentucky who took the bus to work everyday, struggled to pay my bills, had growing credit card debt, and no money in the bank.  

I recall one year in my past-life when things couldn’t look any worse.  I read a book about the power and potential of real estate investing.  It completely transformed my mind and gave me enough motivation to want to learn more.  As a result, I’ve never looked back since.  I am now a best selling author, millionaire real estate investor, speaker and mentor, and this was all achieved by the ripe old age of 28.

I share this little bit of personal history with you to give you hope and to prove to you that if a broke country boy from Kentucky can start at the bottom and find a way to the top, then so can you.  You just have to want it bad enough!  So, if you would love to gain millionaire status as a real estate investor by increasing your income and decreasing your stress, then keep reading.  I’ve segmented this article into six very simple sections in an attempt to prove to you that you can make millions, grow wealth, and retire quickly with real estate.

Who Is Real Estate Investing For?

Real estate investing is for:

(1) The small business owner who is "working too hard to make a living" or always worrying about where the next customers are coming from.

(2) Owners, Presidents, executives of mid-sized companies frustrated with slow growth, tough and "cheap price" competition, wondering where your next big business breakthrough might come from.

(3) Men and women stuck in unfulfilling jobs, eager to own their own businesses, to find new opportunities, to go from "9 To 5" to "MY OWN BOSS", to do something interesting and exciting.

(4) Sales professionals struggling to gain ground… weary of "cold" prospecting, tired of fighting just to get an opportunity to sell, thinking 'there must be a better way.

(5) E-Commerce and Internet savvy people with the ambition to use their knowledge for profit. 

(6) Even authors, speakers, coaches and consultants will be "blown away" by the opportunities, strategies, by the whole world they didn't know existed, its doors thrown open wide with real estate.  
(7) And ANYONE who simply wants to get more done, to make more money, grow massive wealth, to act with greater confidence, to think more creatively, even to be healthier, more in control of their life and future. 

What Is Real Estate Investing?

Before I tell you what real estate investing is, I first want to tell you what it is not.  Good news, it’s not rocket science, or a business that requires a 6th sense.  Nor does it require money, credit, or previous experience to achieve millionaire success.   

Instead, this business is nothing more than simple math and a simple system.  I don’t care whether you are a seasoned investor or a “just off the boat” investor, you CAN make serious money in this business if you apply yourself.

Here’s the simple math part of the business.  Think about it like this, if you buy a widget for $10.00 and you sell it for $15.00 then you made five bucks.  The only difference with real estate is that you add a few more zeros.  Therefore, if you buy a house for $100,000 and sell it for $150,000 then you made $50,000!  Ok, I know that number is difficult for some people to comprehend so lets just say that you sell the same house for $115,000 and you make $15,000.  How many of those deals do you need to do in a month to surpass your current income?

Here’s the simple system part of the business.  There are 5 steps to success as a real estate investor and if you sway from any of these five steps you will NOT succeed.  However if you follow these 5 simple steps that I am about to share with you no matter what type of deal you pursue then you WILL succeed, it is only a matter of time. 

The 5 Steps to Ultimate Success when BUYING HOUSES:

Step #1:  Locate Sellers

Step #2:  Prescreen Sellers

Step #3:  Construct and Present Offers to Sellers

Step #4:  Follow up and Get a Commitment from Sellers

Step #5:  Close Quickly and Repeat

Every successful business in the world has systems and steps that are followed day in and day out.  A business can’t run without a system and step-by-step processes.  Correction, a PROFITABLE business can’t run without a system and step-by-step processes.

Where Does Real Estate Investing Work?

Real estate investing works wherever there are houses and wherever there are people.  That’s right, it works everywhere.  I believe it is best to invest in an area you are familiar with such as your local market.  The more familiar you are with your local market the more successful you’ll be and the more confident you’ll be in the investment decisions that you make.  This doesn’t mean that you have to be an expert and know every little detail about your area but it does mean that you should have a strong understanding of it.  With a strong general knowledge you’ll be able to best determine whether you want to hold a property or flip a property based on the various area conditions in your market.  Market info is available from the US census bureau, chambers of commerce, real estate professionals, banks and lenders, tax rolls, industry publications, online websites, etc. 

When Is The Best Time To Invest In Real Estate?

It seems like you can’t open a newspaper these days without reading something about the financial problems people are having with real estate, unemployment, the economy, foreclosures, bankruptcy, etc.  The good news is that it truly doesn’t matter what the economy is doing.  When you invest the right way and set yourself and your business up to be a transaction engineer then you can make money and grow wealth both when times are good and when times are bad, and this really is the only way you should approach this business.

A better question for you to consider is this.  When would NOW be a good time to start making your millions and building your wealth by investing in real estate?   

Why Should You Invest In Real Estate?

You may be thinking to yourself why should you consider taking the time to be a real estate investor when you already have so many other things going on in your life.  It’s a fair question, and I have a fair answer for you.  Because you deserve to finally reap the financial rewards of your daily efforts and do it while sleeping comfortably at night under a blanket of real estate wealth, which is something that no other business opportunity can provide. 

No matter how much you wish for change, things will always stay the same unless you take action and make an effort to try something new and exciting, like real estate investing.   

How Do You Invest and Make Money in Real Estate?

Ultimately if you want to be a millionaire real estate investor then you need to become a transaction engineer.  That means you need to know and apply MULTIPLE ways to buy and sell properties.  The more ways that you know how to buy and sell real estate, the more deals you can do, the more money you’ll make, the more confident you’ll be, the more control you’ll have, the more freedom you’ll have, the more secure your life will be.

Below are the primary ways to get rich in real estate, however each numbered bullet below can literally be seen as an individual business model all by itself.  In fact I could create dozens of different buying and selling scenarios with each model. 

Buying Houses:

  • Buy for cash at a discount
  • Take over debt
  • Buy with seller financing
  • Buy on a Short Sale
  • Buy wholesale from other investors
  • Buy on a Lease Option
  • Buy using your Self Directed Roth IRA and get tax-free profits for life!

Selling Houses:

  • Retail the property
  • Wholesale a property
  • Assign a contract
  • Lease Option/Rent To Own
  • Cash flow from the monthly payment of your tenant buyer.
  • Cash out money when/if your tenant buyer exercises the option to buy.
  • Sell with seller financing
  • Sell your seller carry back note

Additionally, there are countless other income streams associated with this business with infinite possibilities that would amaze you beyond belief.  However it is impossible for me to teach you everything you need to know about “how-to” invest in real estate in one article.

As I bring this lesson to a close, your choices now are simple.

Option #1: Do nothing today and continue along the same path of 1 step forward and 2 steps back.   This is obviously the easiest choice because it’s the path of least resistance, but it’s by far the most costly to your current and future financial success. 

Option #2, quit letting millions of dollars of cash and wealth slip away and make a commitment to yourself that you will learn how to get rich with real estate.
