Nyrik and Linda Huuskonen
How to Grow Your Portfolios – You Can Still Buy a House for the Price of a Car

Nyrik and Linda have successfully taught many New England investors how to purchase properties and grow their portfolios. Perhaps YOU will be their next million dollar portfolio owner! Nyrik and Linda Huuskonen started investing in real estate 24 years ago. Having only experienced an appreciating market, over-leveraging and anticipating appreciation seemed like the plan to solid investing. This however was not the case. Buying at the top of the market and experiencing the negative side of the double edge sword of leverage, created less than desirable results.

After spending a great deal of time and money in the school of hard knocks, Nyrik and Linda created a different approach. Conservative investing, with generous rates of return and no leverage were the new criteria. Nyrik and Linda personally grew their portfolio to over 50 properties and realized that many others were interested in learning how to create wealth for themselves. Nyrik and Linda crafted a learning experience for their 13 students that was the missing gap in general real estate education. Students attended weekend workshops and participated in hands on road trips that allowed for them to put the model to work in real case scenarios. Nyrik and Linda’s students have created their own portfolios collectively totaling hundreds of houses. The buy and hold market we are in now is the perfect environment to grow a buy and hold investment portfolio for many years to come.

Ed Rush
Discover the Marketing Power of the Internet for Your Local Business

You may not have heard of Ed Rush and that’s because Ed is not one of the “visible” internet marketers out there speaking everywhere just trying to sell a course. He really is a “secret weapon” because he’s one of the “underground” people who is one of the smartest, savviest, and sharpest people making returns online today. The reason you never heard of Ed is because people pay him a lot of funds to sit at his computer and bring in tons of new traffic… convert that traffic into buyers… and retain all of these new customers into monthly repeat buyers… which makes serious returns online.

He’s here to show you how to make more returns, take more time off, and grow a business that gets you new sellers and buyers, gets you new customers, and keeps your old customers – while you sleep. The great thing about Ed is that he wasn’t some sort of computer programmer. Ed is a former Marine Corps F-18 fighter pilot who taught himself the internet. The reason he’s been able to create such high returns is that he’s figured out how to sell information products and continuity programs online & offline.

Ultimate Branding, Marketing, Sales Success Secrets (Session 1)

How To Profit from Real Estate in Today’s Market (Session 2)

Internationally-respected New York Times’ best selling author Robert Shemin first became a millionaire at the age of just 32. But he didn’t want to keep all of his wealth building strategies and financial know-how to himself. He’s taught tens of thousands of Americans the secrets to attracting, growing, and securing lasting wealth through his best-selling books and countless sold-out seminars held for standing-room-only crowds in cities across the United States. Once considered “least likely to succeed,” Shemin overcame severe learning disabilities and seemingly insurmountable odds to become one of the most charismatic and sought after lecturers and motivational speakers in the country, helping thousands of hardworking Americans of all different backgrounds attain total financial freedom for life even though most of his proteges had no investment experience, no financial savvy, and zero money in the bank.

Regularly sharing the podium with such financial luminaries as Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, David Bach, Suze Orman and Tony Robbins, Shemin helped create The Learning Annex Wealth Expo and has consistently been voted the “#1 speaker” by crowds of upwards of 50,000 persons. Robert Shemin has worked with high-net-worth individuals from Goldman Sachs, helped create four companies, and, as a full-time investor, been involved in over 1,000 real-estate transactions to date totaling nearly 100 million dollars. An expert on wealth for CNN, Robert Shemin is a frequent guest on national, regional, and local television and radio programs such as National Public Radio (NPR) and CNBC’s “The Big Idea” with Donny Deutsch. He has also been featured in over three hundred newspapers and magazines including BusinessWeek, the Los Angeles Times, the Miami Herald, the New York Post, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and TIME Magazine among many others.

3 Questions To Spot Good Real Estate Deals

Analysis paralysis: one of the biggest blocks of successful investing. That’s when you stumble into a good deal, then stop dead in your tracks. You worry about the decision but never do anything. In my first six months of investing, I looked at hundreds of great deals and froze. How did I know it was a good deal? How did I know I could make money? If I made an offer, I was scared I might have gotten the deal… and then what?

To overcome analysis paralysis, (1) get lots of information and (2) make sure you have a really good deal (because even if it’s not as good as you think, you still have a margin of error to work with). If I told you the exact cards that will come out on the blackjack table, without a doubt, you would play them because you have information about what will happen. When you gather lots of meaningful information, this also can be true in real estate investing…

ABC’s Of Prospecting

The ABC’s of prospecting, which is the life-blood of your business and your income, is very simple. We all know our ABC ‘s so now you must practice this very simple formula which is ABP. ALWAYS BE PROSPECTING.

My father always told me that I should be an excellent physical shape because, like everyone, I was always jumping to conclusion.

How many times have you or I started thinking about not talking to someone, not offering them our great service and not offering them our great business opportunity because we thought:

• They might not be interested.
• They are too smart or too successful to do what I’m doing.
• They are just so different from me.

If you believe in what you are doing and you absolutely MUST believe 100% in yourself, your company and your opportunity. I believe you have an ethical responsibility to view everyone as a prospect and offer them the chance to make a decision about their future.

Who is your prospect? Everyone!! Especially today, everyone is working too hard, needing extra income and looking for a way out of the Hamster wheel…

Driving For Dollars – Following The Signs To Great Real Estate Deals

Driving for dollars. Is this a game show, with the host saying: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. In tonight’s edition, we have…” Seriously, you can make a lot of money at this “game” – my favorite source of finding good deals in real estate.

Pick a neighborhood that interests you, e.g., in transition, being fixed up, near a river, and so on. Drive around it slowly and write down at least 20 addresses of neglected, vacant, or condemned homes. Often, they’re sporting signs saying For Sale, For Sale by Owner, or For Rent.

Next, contact the owners. You may have to be persistent and call and call to find their numbers and reach them. You can contact the Registrar of Deeds, get on the Internet, and go to the local tax records office. Ask a realtor to look them up on the MLS computer. Once you find them, call or write them to learn more.

Houses with Motivated Sellers How do you tell if a house or property might be owned by a motivated seller? Look for the following characteristics:

• Neglected
• Undeveloped Land
• Vacant
• Condemned
• For Sale
• For Sale by Owner

First Step In Becoming An Investor – Know Thyself

Shakespeare says, “Know thyself.” These words speak true for real estate investors, too. Early in my business, I learned quickly what I am not good at… accounting. I stashed receipts in shoeboxes for the first nine months of the year. The other three months, I tried to figure out what I did the first nine months. That is no way to run a business! Now I hire a service that takes care of these bookkeeping and accounting activities that still stress me out.

To “know thyself,” write down the real estate activities you like. If you love to talk to people and sell, you’ll be good at recruiting tenants, putting deals together, and selling them. Maybe you love detail and finance. You could happily pull together mortgages and financing deals. If you easily get irritated at people, you probably do not want to manage property, and so on.

Determine your answers to these questions, then build your team:

• What do you like to do? And not like to do?
• What kind of people do you like to be around?
• What kind of deals would fit your personality?
• What aspects of real estate investing best fit you?

Your Business Plan

Most real estate investors have absolutely no plan. They set out to find that property, they buy it, then figure out what to do by accident. When tenants do not pay rent, for example, they quickly evict them without researching options. Let me save you a lot of headache by insisting you write a plan…
