Finding Private Money to Invest

Every time I talk to people about real estate investing, someone always says, “I don’t have any money to invest.”

(Then they add, “I don’t even have enough money to pay the bills!”)

Guess what? Real estate investors don’t use their own money. They know how to find money to use or else they negotiate “nothing down” deals.

It doesn’t take money to buy property, it takes education. But most folks won’t invest time, effort and yes, money to get the education they need to be able to buy a house with no money.

I think that’s crazy.

Real estate investors invest tons of money in education because they know that every dollar they invest in education will make them thousands more if they apply what they learn.

Most people haven’t been educated in investing of any type. It’s almost a foreign concept to the average American. Yet to have the mind of Christ, we are supposed to know how to invest as mentioned in the parable of the talents.

So how can you learn how to find private money to invest?

Simple. Listen to my call this Tuesday, April 1 with real estate investment teacher Lance Edwards. He will tell you how.

How can you learn how to develop the mindset of an investor?

Simple. Find a mentor to learn from.

Most folks don’t know where to start so that’s why I have created a family-friendly event where you don’t have to “check out” the teachers to make sure they are acceptable for your family.

I’ve already done that for you.

All you have to do is decide on which direction is right for you.

If you want to learn how to get the mind of Christ and learn to think like an investor, this is the place to do it.

It’s the only conference I know of where you can find a group of godly real estate investment teachers who will teach a wide variety of real estate concepts using the Internet.

And we’re only hosting this conference once, so if you are interested in investing in real estate of any kind, do whatever it takes to get there.

This is opportunity! See it?

Don’t miss hearing Lance this Tuesday, April 1 at 9 PM Eastern Time.

The number to call is 1-218-339-7800

The passcode is 365981#

Talk to you soon!

Get Vision

Remember Balaam from the Old Testament who was riding on his donkey?

The angel of the Lord stood in his way as “an adversary against him” while his donkey kept trying to go around him.

Balaam struck his donkey three times to make her obey. Then she spoke to him and asked why he had hit her when she had always been such a good servant.

He replied back and they carried on a brief conversation, which I find incredible, before they ever got to the fact that there was an angel in the road.

Talk about blind and self-centered!

Have you ever had to deal with someone who just couldn’t “see” something?

It might be long division or how to read a recipe or it might even be your gift to the world.

You have to be patient while the person tries long enough to get it.

And you have to keep trying different ways of explaining the concept to help them get it.

And honestly, sometimes you just feel like giving up.

How do you think God feels about us when we live so blindly?

I just wonder if He gets as frustrated as Balaam did.

He gives each of us a gift to use; we don’t use it.

He wants us to give massively to others; we don’t have enough to even pay our own bills.

He commands us to invest; we think there’s too much risk involved so we bury our money in CDs where we think it’s “safe.”

I wonder if He gets as frustrated with us as we get with our kids.

I wonder if He allows us to feel that sense of frustration so we can experience what He experiences with us.

I wonder what it takes to get someone to “see” as God sees.

I wonder if we’ll ever truly get the mind of Christ as long as we live on this earth.

I wonder how blind we really are to the realities of this world and to what God has for each of us.

If you are still searching for your special place or purpose in life, I challenge you to ask yourself this: “Am I blind to what God wants for me and if yes, how?”

Then stand back and watch the power of God as He reveals to you His creation, His ways and His very specific and essential purpose for you!

It may not be what you expect so decide to keep your eyes open!

So many books, so little time...

Is the Economy Collapsing?

I’m starting to get emails from people telling me to cash in all my assets to get away from banks with as much cash as possible.

“The end is coming so be prepared,” they say.

Something is happening in our country, you can feel it. And I agree that we are near the end. But no one knows when anything is going to happen.

Some are saying the American economy is collapsing.

It may be.

Some are saying that banks are collapsing.

They may be.

Some are saying that what is about to happen is worse than the 1929 Depression.

It may be.

If any of this is true, it is urgent that we start creating our own sources of income.

Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, said, “Divide your portion to seven or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.” (Ec. 11:2)

That means, “Don’t put all your economic eggs in one basket.”

If you have a job, you could get laid off. If you have one source of income, it could end.

So diversify slowly by doing one thing at a time to create streams so that if one dries up, six others are still providing income.

One of the best ways to do that, (and which has created 70% of the financially free in America) is real estate.

You can create cash quickly if you know how to do it.

You don’t need money to buy a house, you need education.

The Proverbs 31 woman was a real estate investor. She “considered a field and bought it.”

If you think women are only supposed to cook, clean and birth babies, think again. Get the mind of Christ on this topic. What is a woman to do when her husband dies at age 47, or 36 or 25.

It’s happening way too often these days.

Look at how God made women to be so able to multi-task.

If you want to create streams of income, or if you have teenagers in the house that you would like to prepare to be financially free in our unstable economic world, teach them the basics of real estate in high school.

I don’t know anywhere else for families and homeschoolers to get real estate education for the Internet except one place. That’s because we put it together.

We have invited family-friendly experts to teach you what to know at a live 3-day event where teens are welcome.

If the future scares you, prepare for it now.

Take your teens to our once-in-a-lifetime conference on April 11-13, 2008 in Huntsville, Alabama.

Don’t let the distance or timing keep you from being there. This information could change your life.

We’re never hosting this event again so if you are interested in real estate and are looking for wise mentors, don’t miss this opportunity. You’ll kick yourself when you hear what others
who attend say.

If the economy really is about to collapse, it’s time to focus on the essential, forget about the trivial, and learn to hear the voice of Jesus because our trust can only be in Him.

I hope to see you in Huntsville!

So many books, so little time...

Real Education: Real Estate Investing

People ask me all the time how I encourage my children to think like entrepreneurs.

I always tell them: we focus on real life.

Yes, we do math and spelling and we read history and science and all that. But we do more than that.

We are students of real life, real business, real stuff.

My oldest son Drew just finished building his and Carol’s new house a few weeks ago and is on to the next project now.

To set the foundation, he bought a backhoe on eBay for $5,000. He used it for two or three months, fixed my drive-way with it, built his sister a pond in her front yard, then sold it on eBay… for $6,000.

Do the math. He used the backhoe for 3 months and made $1000 profit when he sold it.

He learned to think like that from his real estate education.

Then he discovered that his little brother is a very good backhoe operator.

So this past week, he bought another backhoe. A bigger backhoe.

And this summer, those two will tear up all kinds of dirt together in North Alabama.

And they’ll get paid to do it.

Hey, when you’re young, it feels great to try new things.

When they are ready to move on to the next thing, they’ll sell the backhoe… for a profit.

Then they will move on to the next project on their life long To Do list.

I personally believe that the early adult years are for exploring career options. The more you experience, the more you discover what you DON’T want to do.

Once you’ve identified that list, you can move on until you find what you DO love.

And hopefully, you won’t get stuck along the way in some good paying job that you come to hate because it pays the bills but isn’t fulfilling and robs you of your well-deserved joy.

I hate to see people unhappy in their work.

Life is too short to work in misery. Each of us is called to do something of purpose in life and once we discover it, the work brings joy to the soul.

I personally believe that one of the most overlooked areas of basic education is real estate education. Everyone lives in a house so it only makes sense to me that everyone should learn how to buy a house… at least one.

That’s why I have hand-picked a few experts to teach you the basics of the industry that has created 70% of the financially free – real estate.

If you want to learn how to think like an entrepreneur, enjoy the work you do and live financially free, it won’t happen unless you get the education for it.

That’s what you’ll get at our April 11-13 conference in Huntsville, Alabama.

You’ll learn to think like Drew.

Now there’s a scary thought!

So many books, so little time...

Real Education: The Biltmore House

The kids and are in Gatlinburg this week on an extended field trip learning to ski, seeing old friends and having a great time.

One of the highlights of our trip has been touring the Biltmore House in Ashville, North Carolina.

The largest house in America provides many, many lessons on how to be a successful entrepreneur.

For one, after its owner and builder George Vanderbilt died, the house kept operating and paying its own expenses.

How many “average Americans” leave an enterprise to their grandchildren that continues to operate without them?

If you trade your hours for dollars, you can’t. That is, unless you leave investments behind. But that’s a different scenario.

Proverbs tells us that a wise man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, which George Vanderbilt did. He had also inherited one which he increased.

The Biltmore House is also an example of how successful community can work inside of one building.

During its early years, servants and craftsmen, who were trained in many skills, were continually on the grounds.

George knew that to have a successful operation of any kind, you find and surround yourself with experts who know their craft better than you. Give them their assignment, get out of the way and let them go.

Even his architect hired another architect who was an expert in designing swimming pools to design the indoor pool for the house.

The Biltmore House also has a large library since the Vanderbilts understood the value of reading. George was known to read two books a week.

I personally think that is the key to keeping vision and motivation alive. Reading strengthens the mind and in this day of daily sensory bombardment, we could all certainly use a good dose of quiet reading.

The most important concept I observed was that George built his house to be a haven of rest for his friends and family to visit. It has many guest rooms and many areas for entertaining.

Imagine living in a place surrounded by acres of pastures and woodlands as far as the eye can see. Maybe we all can’t have just that, but we can do what we can to make home what it is supposed to be: a place of peace where friends and family can recharge their batteries and regain vision daily.

As dads, it is our responsibility to hear from God about the place where we raise and protect our families.

As moms, it is our responsibility to hear from God about making wherever we live a haven where we nurture our children and minister to others.

As citizens of a great and free country, it is our responsibility to hear from God so that each of us learns to use the gifts He has given us, no matter what they are and no matter where we are, to contribute first in our homes, then in society, all for the glory of God.

When we do that, we will make a significant contribution to this world and leave behind a wonderful legacy for others.

Maybe it will be as spectacular as the Biltmore House!

I challenge you to think that big.

**************

A Challenge to Act

Several things have happened this week that have challenged me to think more seriously about life.

The legality of homeschooling is being challenged all over the country and news of the national identity card has surfaced again with a target date of “7 years from now.”

Both threaten the freedom of Americans.

Both should cause us to take life more seriously.

Americans can no longer sit by passively and watch the world go around. It’s time we wake up, stand in the gap and do something about our eroding freedoms.

If you have a job, be thankful for it and use your money wisely. Invest well. If you don’t have enough to invest, look for a different source of income. Don't be content to barely get by. If that's where you are, you are financially powerless to help.

If you want to leave your job to be able to create a larger income that you have more control over, work your way out of it but don’t quit cold turkey. When your second income replaces your salary, then quit if you have a peace about it but be very careful to follow wise counsel before you do.

And that doesn't mean listening to the old geezers sitting around the barber shop. ;)

It’s time each of us creates a strong financial base that allows us to not only take care of our own families but also to impact the communities and the world around us.

Yes, we can pray. But let’s stand up and do something to protect our freedom.

I’m afraid there may be a cost. A financial cost.

Are you ready to write a check?

Are you able?

If you're not, let's do something about that.

Let's learn to invest in the industry that has created 70 to 90% of the financially free in this country - real estate.

With the market like it is, now is the perfect time to get started.

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!
