Never Taught Before.....

De-Mystifying the Numbers that actually Control Real Estate Investing.

Success is in The Numbers:
Controlling the Process

This is a new, never-been-done-before concept. It's a true in-depth educational program which focuses on de-mystifying the mechanics of investment finance.

It is designed to -

. fully inform you, in plain language, about how investment finance really works,and
. actually train you to use the tools, and make the decisions, to take command of your success.

This concept is based on the principle that either you must learn how to effectively control the process, or the process will control you.

This is not 'just another lecture'...
This is a real hands-on, number crunching work session, with extensive detailed handouts, proprietary spreadsheets, example exercises, proven forms, glossaries and formulas, and much more.
We will take an in-class look at real examples - such as "Available Cash-Flow From Day 1" deals, Seller Financing Regardless of Credit, and others.

Bring your laptop or calculator - it's not required, but it should make it more fun for you.

It's not just about the numbers ...
It's not just about mathmatical methods and concepts. It's about specifically how and why they can, and should, be used in real estate investing. It will show you how it all fits together, and make it come alive for you.

Important note: This comprehensive course may never be offered again at a price this low!!

These are just a few of the principles, processes and tools which you will learn:

> WHEN IS IT ACTUALLY BETTER TO "BUY HIGH".

> BANKS vs MORTGAGE COMPANIES FOR FINANCING.
> BUYING RENTED vs RENTALS.
> UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF "INTEREST" -
SIMPLE AND COMPOUND.

> "ARV", CASH FLOW AND "WRAPS".
> UNDERSTANDING AND TWEAKING AMORTIZATIONS.

                     Wholesaling:
       How to make cash money now!

                         by Mark Fedderson

Wholesaling is a quick way to improve your cash flow.

    Make no mistake, it still takes work. But even in this 'challenged' market, wholesaling is very much alive and well.
      Here is your opportunity to learn from someone who has wholesaled more than 100 homes - none of which were ever listed on MLS. He will teach you tried and true methods to jump start your 'wholesaling machine'. This will be the real deal on Wholesaling.

Including key topics such as -
> The real rewards - and real pitfalls - of wholesaling.
> Real techniques to find wholesale deals.
> How to find "Cash Buyers".
> What do you tell the sellers?
> and much more!

Mark Fedderson became a full time real estate investor in 2001. He started by rehabbing the properties he bought. He built up his own full time rehab crew. He always bought houses from private sellers - who called him. He didn't want to compete with 100s of other investors on MLS deals. He has since wholesaled more than 100 homes, and has grown to become a Hard Money Lender. He has a passion to share what he has learned with others. He spent thousands of dollars on "guru" seminars himself, only to realize much of what they taught him had 'many holes in it' or just muddied up the waters. His mission now is to present truly useful and valid information - the real picture and actual proven techniques.

Business Entities and
Tax Planning

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED
WHAT MAY BE THE MOST EFFICIENT FORM OF BUSINESS......FOR YOU?

   "C" Corporation?   Sole Proprietorship?
   "S" Corporation?        Partnership?
       LLP?    LLC?          "Series" LLC?

Learn about the Pros & Cons relating to the tax efficiency of each type of entity, explained in a simple, easy to understand format.

             TAX BENEFITS - LIABILITY PROTECTION
       COSTS OF OPERATION - EASE OF OPERATION

    We will also include key items to be considered in your business outline and plan of action, and year-end financial issues.
     As we proceed in to 2010, this is definitely the time to refocus on your tax strategies. Two important tax-related items have been in the news recently. One is the fact that the Social Security Administration is now operating in the red, 8 years sooner than anticipated. And, secondly, only 50% of adult tax filers at this time are funding the government's obligations through personal income taxation. We are most likely returning to historically high levels of taxation in the very near future.

Unlike tax reporting, tax planning does pay dividends.

STEP UP IN 2010!!
SAVED TAX DOLLARS = REAL ESTATE?
