This month between a couple houses we “got back” from tenants and new acquisitions, we brought in an additional chunk of money.  Actually several chunks.  $3,500, $7,500, $3,000, $5,000 and another $3,000 that’s “pending” but will come in before month’s out.

That’s $22,000 *Extra* income this month.  That’s in addition to the monthly cash flow.

How did we get it?  Offering the homes we’ve purchased “subject to” on rent to own terms.

$22,000 sounds nice, but let’s talk about the downside.  What did it cost?  Vacancy is the expense when you have houses.  If you rent them out traditionally you have to wait several months to recoup your vacancy expense.  In this case we did have a couple vacancies, however we typically fill many of them while a tenant is still living there.  No B.S. though, we did have to cover some vacancy expenses.  We traded about $3748 in vacancy expenses to bring in $22,000.

I think you’ll agree with me you don’t need a pencil to figure out that’s a pretty good deal.

You can’t make money on a property you can’t buy.  If you don’t have a complete system to buying houses. . . as many houses as you want, you’ll never achieve your real estate goals.

If you only want a couple thousand bucks extra for your retirement then you don’t need to know how to buy houses subject to.  Buy a couple houses using your own money and credit and wait 30 years. 

If you want to retire RICH, if you want to increase your income NOW, if you want to lower your taxable income bracket and keep more of the money you’re making, then you need to know how to systematically buy houses subject to.  Buy more than you’ll need and let the extra ones pay off the others so you can get to the retirement finish line before your too old and too gray to appreciate it.  Following my system, you can have enough *free and clear* houses in 10 years to allow you to officially retire and never HAVE to work again if you choose not too.

It took me less time than that, but I’d rather give you a “conservative” plan than hype you up and give you one out of a hundred results.

8 years ago, I was living on my next pay raise and racking up more and more credit card debt trying to make ends meet. . . it’s really pretty simple.

I started buying real estate.  I started and I kept buying houses that made *sense* at the end of every month.

The problem was, when I was starting out, there was no way for me to get where I wanted to go if I had to rely on banks for financing my next deal. . .and that was when getting money for real estate was easy.  Now we have the best buying opportunity we’ll see and banks won’t lend.

The only way to make long-term wealth – and enough of it to actually live the lifestyle is NOT relying on banks to buy houses. . .not having to come up with bid down payments.

When I discovered how to buy as many houses as I wanted, without going to the banks, that’s when things really changed.

Once I discovered how to buy houses by taking over the loan already on the house (called buying “subject-to”) my business skyrocketed.  And once I put my “system” together, it got easier and easier.  Now my wife and I own enough houses that pay us month in and month out.

And looking to the future it only looks better.  Even if prices slide more before our market recovers, I could care less.  You see at the rate they are “printing money” the only thing that can result is inflation, and inflation forces rents up over time.  Rents go up and my debt service goes down.  Time only creates more and more income.  It’s a beautiful thing!

In the past I have never shared my secrets to buying houses “subject to” outside of my Platinum Mentoring group, but for now, for ONE TIME in 2009 I am going to teach this in a workshop.

Anyone who is serious enough to take advantage of the massive opportunity this market allows can get in on this ONE TIME only training event on Saturday, February 21st from 9AM-6PM

(As I say that, I can see my wife’s eye’s rolling back, because she knows I’ll never give this up.  I love it too much to quit.)

Genius, pure genius that Gerald Romine.

He wanted your attention. Mission accomplished.

So now he’s made another video showing you how to make unbelievably low “justified” offers to sellers that get accepted.

The secret is his “justified offer”.

. . .The fact I announced my “Last Ever” Platinum group rattled a few cages.  I did get a few questions revolving around, “what’s included” or thereabouts. 

I’m running out the door early this morning to head out for a a ski-day up in the mountains, but I thought I’d send you this “Picture” of what Platinum Looks Like.

If you plan on making 2009 your best year ever in real estate then you are going to want to take advantage of the last chance you’ll ever have to be a part of the same mentoring program that has made millionaires along Colorado’s front range.

So consider this you invitation to join the last ever Platinum Mentoring Group. . . your Last Chance to get my full attention at making YOUR 2009 and beyond, the Best Ever, the year that puts you in charge of your financial future. . .in charge of YOUR financial freedom.

Are you ready to take the recession by storm and start working a systematic proven plan to real estate investing success?  Then I encourage you to apply for this Last Ever life changing program. 

Go to Platinum Application for details and to apply.  If you look at this page, you’ll see proof on the left side of the page that I do know how to make money at real estate investing, and then if you look on the right side of the page, you’ll see proof I know how to share that success with YOU!

This is your last change.  Don’t miss out. I’ll let you know how skiing was!

. . .The holiday’s aren’t quite over yet, but I can’t hold back any longer – you see some very important information was “leaked” and I can’t put off telling you about it. 

If you plan on making 2009 your best year ever in real estate then you are going to want to pay very close attention to every word in this message.

You see, back about 5 months ago I quitely decided I would no longer offer my Platinum Mentoring Program – the same program that has litterally turned the real estate training world upside down (at least here in Colorado). 

To probably give you more insight than you may care about, this sick twisted little world of real estate training is based on a measly 3-5% success rate.  That means every seminar you might attend, every product you might buy, the person selling it to you expects only 3-5% of you to actually make any money with it.  And frankly, most of them could care less.

I have a problem with that.  A BIG problem! 

You see, I used to be one shelling out thousands and and even ten’s of thousands of dollars going to one seminar after another only to be led to believe the next “holy grail” was behind the “next” door of the “next” high priced product or boot camp.

These “businesses” of real estate investing education don’t care about your success, they only care about how much available balance you have on your credit cards and how much of it they can systematically extract from you. . . and everyone else in the room.

I loathe the very industry I decided to “play” in. 

I actually got started mentoring purely by accident.  After speaking in fron of a room of investors with no agenda, without selling anything, just talking about the successes I’d experienced, I got mobbed after my presentation with a group of investors who wanted me to share all my secrets.   That’s how my Platinum Program came to be.

After getting over the shock of standing in front of a couple hundred investors, I actually liked it.  I liked seeing the light bulbs going off for many of those in the room.  I liked seeing folks like you get motivated to take the secrets I shared with them to good use.  To create big paydays. . .over and over!

Seeing You succeed motivates me. 

I used to have lunch and coffee with anyone who asked and I’d discuss what I was doing that worked, didn’t work etc.  But here’s what happened.  Not a single person, not ONE, did anything with the information I shared.  People’s perception – something burned into our psyche is, free information is of no value.

I’d love to tell you I’d mentor you for free, but my experience tells me it’s a waste of your time and mine.  You must pay for your education if you wish to value it.   Funny thing is, once I charged for the same information I used to share for free, my very first group of Platinum students started making money. . .big money!

Unlike the 3-5% success rate the “industry” seems to be ok with (I’m NOT), the success rate of my program litterally turns that model upside down!  

on January 22nd, my LAST EVER Platinum mentoring group will begin!  As much as I love working with investors, as much as l love sharing my proven investing secrets with you, my income comes primarily from investing. . .and it requires far less of my time. 

For 2009, one of my goals is spending more time with my family. . .with my son, Joshua, being the best Dad I can be for him.  Something has to give.

Quietly 5 months ago I decided that was it.  That decision leaked out to a few of my clients and I did get some very upset comments about my decision.  I never told anyone the last one, was the last ONE!  Some folks even got a little hostile with me, telling me they’d been waiting for the “right time”.    Frankly, there’s never the “right time”.  When your “why”, or your “reason” gets big enough, YOU make it your right time.

So consider this you invitation to join the last ever Platinum Mentoring Group. . . your Last Chance to get my full attention at making YOUR 2009 and beyond, the Best Ever, the year that puts you in charge of your financial future. . .in charge of YOUR financial freedom.

Are you ready to take the recession by storm and start working a systematic proven plan to real estate investing success?  Then I encourage you to apply for this Last Ever life changing program. 

Go to http://www.localmentor.com/platinum.asp for details and to apply.  If you look at this page, you’ll see proof on the left side of the page that I do know how to make money at real estate investing, and then if you look on the right side of the page, you’ll see proof I know how to share that success with YOU!

This is your last change.  Don’t miss out.

As I’m writing this, it’s cold and gray out with a little bit of cold mist in the air.  It feels like winter is upon us.  When there’s winter, there’s snow, when there’s snow, there’s skiing, and like every year for so many, the kick off to ski season has always come with the latest Warren Miller Ski movie.

I know my posts are usually about real estate investing, and I’ll get to that, but Warren Miller (the ski movie guy) had a big impact on my life.

I saw my first Warren Miller flick back in Columbus, Ohio, finishing up at college.  A buddy of mine told me about it and I went to check it out.

That pretty much screwed me up for quite a while.

I had a goal of getting out west to live, but here was some guy narrating a ski movie, showing all the awesome places to ski, and saying as he did in just about every movie of his I’ve seen since “if you don’t do it this year, you’ll be a year older when you do.”

I was a couple years older when I finally made the move.  After watching his flicks over and over on VHS and having those words burned into my psyche, I realized non of my friends in Ohio were as passionate at playing in the mountains like I was.  I made a decision and set off on a plan to get out to Colorado.  In 1999, I made it.

Warren’s advice got me out here, got me playing in mountains every weekend, not just on a once or twice a year trip.  This is where I met my wife who is equally passionate about here.  In fact, we both moved away from family and friends to be in a place where we wanted to play.

After meeting my wife and getting started real estate investing, not only did we have the money to go to some of the awesome ski places Warren showed in his movies every week, we had the time freedom as well.

In fact, we went on our first Heli Ski Trip in the Canadian Rockies west of Banff.

What an incredible experience!  We stayed in Banff for a week and rented the only house available in town.  It was a pretty cool 3200 s.f. cabin and we invited all Lori’s family to come stay with us for the week. 

Thanks, Warren!
