It does make millionaires...for those who offer it. They are a rip-off. You are better off spending the money on a few books and newspapers; to read about the real estate markets in local areas. You are quite late to the party. Real Estate will probably be falling in the forseeable future. If you feel you can make money in RE, invest -don't waste it on some smuck who takes your money. Why would they take your money if they had better ways, ii Real Estate, to make money.

No I haven't tried any real estate education.\n\nLC

Yes, he is a big time talker for Real Estate professionals, most of the time they get suckered into buying his systems, which is usually just logical marketing strategies. He is a talk show person for Realtors. Probably the biggest trainer in the US. He usually gets new agents to buy into his system and they have to spend a certain amount of money to keep it going each month. Quite a bit of a racket, as I do not think he sells real estate anymore, just marketing stuff.\n\nOh by the way, Buffini also does work with Mortgage people as well. \n\nI just think that if more people just followed up with the clients that they have, by calling or sending notes on paper, that they would get the business they need. And Buffini and others have made this into a "System".

There are investors and speculators. A successful investor is not a speculator. He/she is an investor. \n\nSome people are successful investors investing in mutual funds. There are many mutual funds that have shown an annual return over a long period of time of as high as 12%. There are however many others that have not.\n\n\nThe government has given people the ability to place money into a Ross IRA account and/or a regular IRA account. Both are tax advantaged and should be used by all investors.  My personal preference would be for the Ross IRA because all earnings from that account are tax free. At least until congress changes the law. \n\nWhen investing in stocks or mutual funds, the key to being successful is to do your homework and to avoid what I would call bubble investing--investing in hot issues. What is hot today invariably tomarrow might be very cold. Another key is diversification. That way one mistake will not ruin you. And all investors make mistakes.

Stay away from Carlton Sheets and his brethren. If you insist, I will sell you one of their "real estate investors kits" cheap.

If you find someone willing to do that I'm interested - I have land as collateral and can't find investors. :-) \nThe thing that raises my ? though is NO company can GUARANTEE you 50 prequalfied customers a day. This sounds like a scam. They contacted you. The radio and tv ads - how many and how often and for how long? And internet - not a lot of cost there. Billboards aren't that expensive. They will answer the calls and screen them...ok but to guarantee 50 a day that are qualified for your business...without even knowing what that is that sounds awful high. Out of internet, radio ads I was lucky to get...well...NO calls and it was for food. Everyone eats. I would really seriously look over that with a fine toothed comb...something does not sound right. Guaranteeing you will make X number of $ but it takes $35k to get started now sounds like a scam to me. Be careful

The best real estate course I have heard of are the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, by Robert Kyosaki.  He is excellent, and rich, and knows how he did it, because his dad was poor (although he made about 400K per year) and his best friend's dad (his rich dad) was rich and taught him how to do it.  You can buy his work or get it for free using your favorite PSP program like limewire or my favorite: shareaza...simple search on the net will get you these.\n\n...thanks for the info on why my white shirts get yellow under the arms, you were the only one who knew what you were talkinga about.

Probably.  It depends how you look at it.\n\nOver the long term, stocks & real estate will probably give you the same return on the dollar (learned this in Finance at University of Chicago nobel prize winner).  However, that may vary in the short run/shorter time horizons (e.g. over 10 yrs or less).  Recognize you usually own a home for longer & usu get a 30 yr loan.  Lately, obviously real estate has been doing better than the stock market.  But, with interest rate hikes, the real estate market seems to be cooling off.  And, real estate can differ greatly pending on the house you buy & its location.  I do not claim to be an expert and you may want to speak w/ an objective real estate agent (if you can find one).\n\nThat being said, in general buying is almost always preferable to renting as your monthly payments will be lower, esp as time goes on.  This, in turn, will allow you to save more so you can invest it whereever you want to.  Usually rent increases year after year; but, your mortgage payments will be the same as they are today for 30 yrs.  I say this as someone who has rented the last 10 yrs & wish I had bought sooner.  My apartment just went condo & I bought it 2 months ago.  In retrospect, I wish I had done it sooner.\n\nI read an excellent book on the subject that was very educational for first time buyers.  It's called "The automatic Millionaire Homeowner" by David Bach.  It explains all the basics & how to think abt mortgage options and what might be right for you.  It was really helpful.   A few months ago, I was a complete moron on the subject...now, I understand what others are talking about.

Send me $10,000 and I will tell you how to do it. Seriously; don't you think that if this were really possible that people would be doing it all the time? Don't listen to these imbeciles. NOT ONE of several self proclaimed mentalists has EVER passed scientific scrutiny including the modern father of the movement Uri Gellar.

He makes more from selling 'how to' materials than he does in real estate.  But I've read the material, and there is some good stuff in there.  If you're a beginner, it's not a bad place to start.

Lot's of fun to watch. No way would a "real" investor follow his advice.  The most someone like him can do for you is to give you leads to follow up with your own research...... but for the most part... find another way to find leads to good investments.

I think it is a pyramid scheme and it should be illegal. My brother has been doing this business for twenty years and dropped thousands upon thousands into those crazy"how to build your business tapes" and he only makes a few thousand a month. He claims it's residual income, but I see him working 3 times harder than a real job. If he would have put all that money into a retirement account, he would be retired by now sippin Lattes on the beach.......

Miami preconstruction real estate investing is buying properties prior to their construction. For example, a condo that will be built in 2 years, you can put a small deposit to hold the condo and capture the appreciation during the 2 years, which is the time it takes for the condo to be built.\n\nWhy is Miami Preconstruction investing attractive to investors? \nNo carrying costs during the 2 years till the condo is built. There is no mortgage, no taxes, and no expenses at all. Most of all, you do not need to manage tenants which can be a concern for real estate investors. Also, you do not need to qualify for mortgage. So, regardless of your credit history, developers will sell you a unit.\n\nHow to calculate your return on Miami preconstruction real estate investing?\nIf the condo for example priced at $500K, typically, in the Miami market, developer would require 20% deposit. 10% at contract time and additional 10% when construction begins.  So, your total out of pocket deposit would be 100K which 20% of 500K.\n\nMiami real estate market has been appreciating over %25 annually.  However, for this example, let’s assume Miami real estate will appreciate 20% annually.  By the end of the first year, this condo that has not been built yet would have already appreciated from $500K to $600K.  Which means you have made $100K on your investing of $100K.  That 100% return in one year.  In other words, you could double your capital every year.\n\nHow to buy Miami Preconstruction?\nBe aware to these facts:  Developers are NOT Mutual Fund Managers in the business of making you money.  They are business people in the business of building real estate. They understand the real estate market and they make the most profit by selling for the highest price.   This is the myth that could cause investors not making the right decision.  \n\nSo, do your own research, the Internet can be a great aid in finding initial information.  After doing some initial research, find a good realtor that understands the market and preconstruction to help you evaluate the options you have available. \n\nIf you’re contacting the developer directly, you could be taking a gamble since the sales staff has no loyalty to you to disclose vital information, they work for the developer.   Go with a knowledgeable local realtor to represent you.  You can find realtors to provide this free service.  They are paid commission by the developer and your price is the same.\n\nWhat Miami Preconstruction investing do you choose?\nWaterfront real estate is the safest investing possible. Tens of thousands are moving to Miami area every month and most asking for waterfront or oceanfront real estate.  They are willing to pay a good premium to enjoy the life style.  There is a lot more details that cannot be covered here.\n \nBubble or Not?\nMiami Preconstruction and Miami real estate has been very rewarding to its investors.  If you’re looking for long term investing, this is a great vehicle for good ROI with little effort. “Be selective”,  Not every developer and every project is well analyzed and priced right. Like many financial markets, Miami Preconstruction and Miami real estate are controlled by greed and fear, the primal emotions that drive the markets. \n\nInterest rates might not have great impact on Miami real estate since Miami is an international market with buyers from around the globe.   International buyers are enjoying the extended buying power from the weak US dollar and heavily investing their cash in Miami real estate markets.  Florida has very flexible rules towards foreign nationals buying Miami and Florida real estate.  Also, we are seeing buyers from markets such as California and New York that are aggressively buying Miami real estate and oceanfront properties.\n\nSavvy and long term investors will do well.  Risk management is the key to survival in financial markets and that includes Miami Preconstruction real estate investing. \n\nAndrew James, Miami P

Surprisingly enough many of the businesspeople that I know scan the newspaper classifieds for finds. Many of them are interested in real estate but some buy businesses as well from there. I also have seen businesses listed on www.eBay.com for sale. There are also internet classifieds that will let you post an ad for free. www.craigslist.com would be one of those.\n\nWith each of these options you wouldn't have a business broker or real estate broker taking a cut of your sale but you have the drawback of having to sell it on your own. Please consult a local business or real estate attorney for advice on preparing the sale paperwork. They might also have some more ideas on how to market your business.\n\nI don't know if you have Sunbelt Business Advisors where you live but they are the biggest business brokerage where I live and they are nationwide. They are at www.sunbeltnetwork.com You will end up paying them a sales commission but you should have a hassle free transfer by going that route.\n\nBest of luck in your sale!

Yes, I have done them. THere are scams there are realones. Anything that is asking you money up front to make money in this business is a scam. But the realones pay too!! The problem is that the reals pay a few dollars ( $5 to $15) and are not often, also are screened for the kind of consumers or people they want to reach, and when you get one through it is probably that at a point you get kicked out of the survey because you made the wrong answer and do not get paid.  The point is... do not make it for aliving, do not pay for it, and if you do it, do not expect to get millions, or even a living out of it. good luck
