Let's Talk

I've been thinking about it, and feel it will be a really good idea for all of us (you know who you are) to actually stay in touch so we can keep the energy flowing. So often we take part in these big events and it's so easy to let the "dream stealers" enter in there and all those good feelings of motivation and inspiration you felt after the event seem to just whither away. I don't want this to happen this time. That is why I spent time in putting together topic specific forums for all of us. So I created them just for us to stay in touch, talk out new ideas, see if any of you would like to partner with each other, and just in general learn from each other. Most likely you found this blog address after we met at the event, so I'm glad you're here. To access the forums for now, please email me and let me know who you are so I can give you the URL. They will be awesome and one of the only ways for all of us to stay in touch since I definitely haven't been able to find any others out there. Look forward to hearing from you!

Doing Flips

I understand the next course I'll be taking is all about flipping houses. In our class with Ron LeGrand he touched on this subject which means you don't actually own the house, but it's more of a flip in paperwork, that can result in some nice profits. I'm excited to learn as much as I can and see what this class speaker has to offer. Have any of you taken classes in flipping houses, or actually done it? I'd love to hear from you.
I'll let you know how the class goes after I take it! lol

Isn't Real Estate Grand?

haha Ron LeGrand that is! Well we went to the class yesterday in New York City and the lecturer was Ron LeGrand. I hadn't heard of him either, but I must say, this man is incredibly smart with everything he knows. Is he telling us absolutely everything about each point and topic he brought up? No, probably not, actually definitely not. To expect to learn everything there is to know about Real Estate or just about any topic for that matter, I'd be hard pressed to find someone that could do that in a matter of 6 hours! He did however go over quite a number of different areas of real estate paying close attention to wholesaling and buying beautiful houses in lease - purchase agreements. He also went over the steps in detail how you are to approach just about any deal telling us the two questions and the way to never pay more than you want to in almost any transaction.
The classroom itself was quite big, could easily hold a few thousand people, but yesterday morning there were probably more like 200 or so people. I have over 20 pages of notes from the class, probably on the high end of page counts than most people, lol I tend to be a note writing machine.
Anyway, if you were there at the class in New York yesterday, November 11th and want to talk about the event, or want to just talk about real estate in general, feel free to post here and let me know!

Extra Class Added In!

Well I just received a notice from the Learning Annex saying they've added in yet another class to this whirlwind of educational classes called the Learning Annex. Apparently, William Zanker the founder and President of the Learning Annex wanted Ron LeGrand a real estate speaker to lecture at the event in New York City but was unavailable due to other commitments overseas. However, he was able to book him to give an all day intensive class, totally free to ticketholders for the event next weekend. The only catch? It's only 2 days from the date the letter was written. So hopefully if your schedule isn't booked you can catch this class. It seems quite interesting and I'd love to obtain as much information as I possibly can, so off we go to this class. I'll definitely let you all know how it goes! As a recent college graduate with a degree in Marketing and Finance, and a very entrepreneurial minded way, I'm excited to learn more about Real Estate. I have some friends who are involved in this and do pretty well. It's time to learn what they DON'T teach you in school.

For everyone that I met there at the class who's reading this blog, it was very nice meeting you. Please feel free to write me at the email address given so we can stay in touch and keep the motivation from these classes going strong!
