There a quite a few online property auction platforms out there right now.  Initially these websites were seen as potentially taboo, scary, and extremely risky to purchase actual properties from.

Now, it's the mainstream... Hedgefunds with millions of dollars are bidding on properties daily.  Sheriff sales are 'marketed' via auction.com to increase live auction attendance at the courthouse.  Homes are bought by owner occupants and investors daily.

Today's podcast is a LIVE account of an actual auction of a property on www.hubzu.com, one of the many platforms out there right now.

We digest the fees, timing the bids, potential strategies, and ride the roller coaster of bidding via online auction for investment properties.

If you are interested in bidding via online auction for properties, or have done it before, check out this podcast!

Man... You don't know what you don't know.  Today's guest on the Investor Empowerment Series Radio Show is Al Willliamson.  Al bought his first investment property 20 years ago when he first got married, by house-hacking a 3 unit.

Fast forward 20 years later, and Al is KILLING IT on Airbnb, VRBO and the like with a MASSIVE short term rental business.

He's got an 8 unit building, which he's got 60% rented out on short term corporate housing leases, and still a few traditional units that him and his family live off of.

And now, he's on a mission to document how to grow your short term rental business to $10,000 a month income in 2 years or less, which you can find out more information about by listening to this podcast.

Ever heard of Rental Arbitrage???  Man, you gotta hear about this...

How about becoming an Airbnb Host and Landlord without actually owning the property?!!

There are a BUNCH of tips and tricks about utilizing Airbnb to double your income on your rentals or at a min make an additional $1000 per month beyond what you're currently getting on a year long lease.

Some websites we talk about:

Every investor goes into each deal with one guaranteed expectation at closing... The Price.  Unless the condition of the property changes, i.e. damages or things getting removed prior to closing after you've seen it, your expectation is you're paying the price on the contract.

Why is it that most investors don't pay much attention to the other costs that lead to a higher bottom line on the master statement?

Well, we've got a way to save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per closing.

Announcing Investors Title Services LLC.  A company owned by Investors, For Investors.

Our examples in this podcast show savings of thousands of dollars that YOU, as an investor, can benefit from due to the relationships we've established.

Episode #66 of the Investor Empowerment Series Radio Show dives deep into the numbers on a property I purchased at $12k back in 2008 and put $20k in rehab costs into.

I rented this property for $1100 per month for about the last 9 years give or take.  Sound like a great deal to you???

Maybe, Maybe NOT.

Ghetto Deal or NO Deal, you decide... 

Listen up to hear all the juicy details on whether or not you think this investment was actually worth it or not.

There are many opportunities to create thousands of dollars of savings in real estate investing, whether it be for 1 deal a year, or 10.

Don't be reluctant to take advantage of the many money saving programs and opportunities available to the real estate investor even if it's just your first deal, or your last.

These relationships, which my co-host Dan Clarton and I discuss at length in this podcast are readily available to you no matter how many projects you are involved in, have completed, or are planning to do.  And it's our goal to assist you in connecting with the right people to do this successfully and more profitably for your real estate investing business.

Join us at our next meetup on Nov. 14, 2017, at the offices of TANIS Group.  Doors open at 630pm CST, there is a $10 charge at the door, pizza and refreshments provided to all attendees. If you can make it.

Truth be told, we had an investor fly out from Denver to attend one of our meetings this year, which was AWESOME!  Now I am not suggesting something of that magnitude, as once we host the meeting, we are going to record another episode covering what we talked about for our meetup!

At this meeting we will reveal the "Big Secret" to saving thousands on your next real estate transaction, and how you can take advantage of it at no cost, membership fee, or financial involvement on your part whatsoever.

My tenant's will fix up my rental for me at their own cost?!?

Today's guest, Doug Kowalewski and I, hash over the different methods that investors can utilize to both acquire and rent out properties via lease option/lease-purchase.

Whether you're seasoned or a 'newbie', this strategy can be beneficial on multiple levels.

On this episode, Doug and I discuss real life examples of lease option situations where the tenant's purchased an option up front, fixed up the house, and provided an above average rental amount and return during the duration of the lease contract.

We also discuss structuring the lease option contract for a successful relationship between the landlord and the tenant.

If you've considered this method but are still on the fence about the opportunity and how to make it work for you, this episode is for you!

Gang-

On today's rocking episode, we review the results of marketing last week's "Deal of the Day" and the outcome, and talk about the new opportunity we are currently providing ONLY to our prestigious network of podcast listeners, and our network meeting attendees.

This $150000 opportunity in Palatine IL, an affluent suburb of Chicago in a great school district and a GREAT area has an ARV of $250000 and needs approximately $30000 worth of rehab work.

Listen for all the juicy details!

Today's quickie episode is to market out to my podcast audience an opportunity in Lindenhurst, IL.

This property was listed on the MLS, we received a Cash Offer as a wholetail deal, and in the process, the buyer asked about our willingness to seller finance the transaction.

Well, let's just say things got a bit squirrely as we realized that the buyer potentially didn't have enough capital to close.

But, that made us open our minds to the ability to seller finance this deal to our network of listeners, and benefit someone that we actually could connect with again in the future-- YOU.

This property is a 3/2 with a detached 2 car garage, the house is on a crawl space, and the second bath is "roughed in" and needs to be finished.

Listen up for all the juicy details!

Last weekend I had a great experience at a seminar in Dallas in a new to me "mentoring" type group I am considering joining.

While at the seminar I met some incredible investors doing deals as small as a few single family houses up to some that had just closed multi-hundred unit transactions this year.  And even one investor I collaborated with that had built up his apartment unit portfolio to 1900 apartments in just a few years... AMAZING!!!

Do you need to be born out of the gate with a golden spoon or do you think it's possible you can become the product of those you choose to surround yourself with and partner with?

Check out this episode to learn more about private lending, Self-Directed IRA investing and approaching candidates by just being yourself, and surrounding yourself with the right network of people to lead to success!

On Today's SUPER AWESOME show we interview our guest Mark Faustrum, a newer investor getting his start about 1 year ago and already taking on 6 deals under his belt.

Mark is still currently employed with a Full Time J-O-B working as an emergency dispatcher for police and fire departments in the suburbs of Chicago, jumped in headfirst, without any formal real estate investment education, and is on strong path to success.  That's right, no bootcamps, BS, or billions spent making other people money.

Mark "accidentally" fell into his first deal, a 2 flat owned by a co-worker's daughter, and after evaluating the numbers, realized that if he owned a few more like that one, he could potentially subsidize his income exponentially.

This is a great episode for those wondering if it's possible, what it takes, and how to manage getting started in real estate investing while still employed for the "man."  (Or "woman.")

Mark started off buying his first deal with conventional financing, and since has utilized hard money, "delayed" financing, and cash.

Another episode not to be missed

On this episode of the Investor Empowerment Series Radio show we cover something I titled "Finding Deals in Your Spare Time... If there is such a thing!"

Point being, when you have a free minute, maybe on a lunch break, maybe at night after the kids go to bed, maybe when you wake up at 430am because you just read the book "Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod, take some time dedicated to your real estate investing business.

I find that spending just 10-20 minutes a day scouring the internet, MLS, web based auction platforms, etc. Often leads to increased familiarity with your local market and better understanding of "what" a deal looks like. When you're just browsing as you'll start to notice trends, up and down, of your local housing stock, which will assist you in determining on whether or not you should be making an offer on a property or getting access to inspect it.

I review my experiences over the last week when I took approximately 1 hour of my "spare time" while my kids were playing in their room and discovered 3 potential deals, 2 of which I offered on that day sight unseen, and 1 that was accepted.

Listen in to find out the details...

RE-POST!!! SORRY ABOUT LAST WEEK, The podcast got MESSED up big time and I sincerely apologize, CHECK IT OUT AGAIN

Summer breezes, cotton candy, babies laughing and smiling—It’s all so awesome isn’t it?  All the TV wannabes make it look picture perfect and easy don’t they?

Well, most things are never perfect, and anything with any value is typically never very easy…

The real life of real estate investing isn't easy... It's never that simple and there are always complications that CAN and DO come up even on a simple purchase or sale of a property.

This deal put us through the ringer, up and down and 15 rounds with the Mohammed Ali of real estate let’s say.

Here’s a few takeaways:

 -Go with your gut, if it doesn’t feel right, or your intuition is pushing you a different direction, strongly consider something may not be right.

-Always get a 2nd opinion even on simple day to day processes when there’s a potential change made to it—e.g. sending a wire without a title company

-When you make a mistake, learn from it, grow from it, gain knowledge from it and GET BACK UP again jump back in the ring

In Summary, we lost about $60000 on this deal, before we even bought the property if that makes sense!  Hear the journey it took to get it back!! 

Listen now!

Jun 28, 2017

After 51 Episodes, I need be honest, this is the one you NEED to hear.  If you've never listened to my show before, and you're serious about investing in real estate, this episode you need to pay close attention to.

We interview a special guest, Rosario Terracciano, of ClickInvest.com and the system he's been working on, designing, and perfecting for years for his investor clients.

Originally formulated as a software assist to help scrub the MLS for deals and opportunities available for hedge fund type buyers, it's been tweaked, beta-tested, field-tested and made available to any investor!

Now this incredible system can be available to you.

My team and I personally vetted out this software system.  We let it do the dirty work, saving time, effort, and effectively making and saving more money.  Clickinvest.com sends you projected ROI's on the investment opportunities, capital expenses based on your lending and acquisition situation, closing costs and even rehab estimates based on the condition of the home, photos, and data compiled over the last several years evaluating thousands of houses on the market.

My "guinea pig" testing for your benefit has already found deals for my portfolio and my team is ready to jump into action to help you utilize it for yours.

As with anything with any value, there is a monthly cost-- if there wasn't I'd be questioning how it could perform to the level it does and continue to improve.

Use the code TANIS when you sign up and you get a special discount only offered to my listeners and clients.
