Whether you're just started out or have been in business, today's 5 Min Friday focuses on the KISS Method "Keep It Simple Stupid."

No need to over-complicate the simple by purchasing expensive software programs, book keeping systems, etc etc when perhaps just a pen and paper or an Excel Spreadsheet will do the trick to get started.

Today's message is about crawling before you walk, and wading in the water before diving, as you can ALWAYS complicate the situation if needed.

Sounds a bit goofy doesn't it?  Like a late night info-mercial maybe?

Our guest on the show today is Chris Davis.  Chris is an investor, flipper, real estate broker, and 3 time podcast guest on our show.

He's achieved in 4 years what some investors hope to do in a lifetime.

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.

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!

Oct 4, 2017

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!

joe@tanisgroupllc.com if you are interested in learning more about this SELLER financed opportunity.
