			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Ok, This One&#8217;s for the No Risk Gamblers&#8230;</h1>
<h2>Want a totally FREE house no strings attached? No money, no obligation, nothing. Just a free house?</h2>
<p>(not some piece of crap that needs 20k in work either. A good solid house you can flip for 100% profit or keep as a rental)<br />
<a href="http://bulkreotrader.com/freehomesforyou/?1192678">Free House</a></p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s WHY and HOW?</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">First the How:</span></p>
<p>Why would anyone want a free house. It&#8217;s probably a peice of %$@# anyway right?</p>
<p>Well this is no HGTV giveaway, but it is a solid bread and butter property you&#8217;d could easily sell and keep 100% of the sale price. (actually there are 3 being given away) and anyone can win them with not money and no strings attached. (and there&#8217;s no sort of purchase that will increase your chances of wining either)</p>
<p>Fellow REI investor/trainer Kenny Rushing (a mega investing brotha from the Tampa area) buys up entire neighborhoods in Bulk REO acquisitions and the flips them to large capital funds.</p>
<p>Well, he pulled out 3 of the houses from his last Bulk REO pkg. and is giving them away to 3 lucky investors. (it cost him nothing, because he already re-sold the REO pkg of homes for more than he paid for it, even without the 3 houses)</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the HOW&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Now for the WHY:</strong></p>
<p>Well, Kenny&#8217;s not your ordinary investor. He does not piddle around with a-house-here-a-house-there type strategy.</p>
<p>He buys entire neighborhoods, via BULK REO purchases directly from BofA and other large banks.  And he&#8217;s got a new training system where he&#8217;s teaching a few lucky soles to do the same thing. (he does not use his own money or credit)</p>
<p>But still, WHY a FREE HOUSE?  Well another reason he&#8217;s probably doing this (I dont&#8217; know for sure because I didn&#8217;t ask him) is that this is one of the ways he builds his wealth portfolio.</p>
<p>He flips entire Bulk REO packages, siphons off a few of the houses in the package, then re-sells the entire pkg at a profit. He then uses the 3-4 house he kept as rentals.</p>
<p>How&#8217;s the ROI on a rental with no debt?  Pretty huge&#8230;Pretty cool hugh?</p>
<p>Ok, so you dont&#8217; want any rentals&#8230;.No problem. Flip luxury property bulk reos and keep vacation house for yourself free.</p>
<p>Kenny is doing a bulk reo flip right now as we speak where a 72 foot yacht was used a colortal and he&#8217;s getting this as part of the packge. (a 72 ft yacht can easily run 10mill)</p>
<p>Anyway, food for thought!</p>
<p>So, if you do want a shot at a totally FREE house or just want to check out this whole idea, click here. <a href="http://bulkreotrader.com/freehomesforyou/?1192678">Free House</a></p>
<p>Norm</p>
<p>P.S. FYI&#8230; This is truly your ultimate NO-Money-Down house. Better yet&#8230;NO MONEY EVER.</p>
<p>Except the 100% profit you&#8217;ll get to keep when you sell it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>3Rd Quarter Numbers for Apartment Investments are up. Both in new purchases and renovations to existing units.</h2>
<h3>Why and why should we be interested?</h3>
<p>The news came out today that home sales in July fell by 27%.  Just yesterday the <a href="http://www.startribune.com/business/101132154.html?elr=KArks:DCiU1OiP:DiiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr" target="_blank">StarTribune of Minneapolis</a>, MN stated a dramatic increase in apartments being rented, rents rising and landlords making improvements to existing properties to lure new tenants.</p>
<p>As it turns out, these days, &#8216;luring&#8217; is easy. The number of people looking at apartments is on the rise.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 3 Things This Could Mean for You:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> If you currently own some apartment units, it may be a good time to follow suit, make some improvements, market to and attract a better, higher level of tenant and even consider raising the rent. When the market is full of &#8216;buyers&#8217; in this case renters, supply and demand allow us to creep up rents back to there the used to be.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> If you&#8217;ve been thinking about investing in apartments or already own some, apartments prices right now are actualy cheap, because of limited financing out there.   If you can get your hands on some dough, now might be a good time to start looking for some deals.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong>  If you like the idea of upping your game, &#8216;graduating&#8217; to bigger deals. Go with the trends. Commercial properties in general right now are good deals and you can find them cheap.  Apartments are no different. But you do need to get boned up on the differences between the smaller SF deals and a 10+ unit complex.  Less than 10 units, and you can treat it like a normal SF buy, run the numbers as usual. Get above 10 units and you&#8217;re starting to get into different deal calculations.  Dave Lindahl (owner of 7,000) apartment units says his small deal-large deal cut off is 20 units.</p>
<p>Either way, if you&#8217;re looking into this, now&#8217;s a good time.  But get a partner who&#8217;s done it or get some training.</p>
<p><strong>To hear an interview I did with Dave Lindahl on the pros and cons of Apartment investing and what you can expect, </strong><a href="http://www.askyourmembers.com/Aff/repl/lindhalaptsG0707.htm"><strong>go here.</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now in 2010, you&#8217;d think it be super easy to walk up and have someone hand over the keys to their house. With hundreds of thousands of people in some sort of financial distress, it ought to be easy pickings&#8230;</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s often not. They know they should get out but they dont&#8217; wan to. They know they can&#8217;t afford to stay but the thought of foreclosure pains them. Heck, some are ready, but if they move out, they&#8217;ve got not where to go, dont&#8217; know what will happen and are just plain afraid that they&#8217;ll get caught out in the cold.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t blame &#8216;em really!</p>
<p>So what is a good honest self respecting real estate investors supposed to do. How do you Help Them And Yourself at the same time?</p>
<p>Doing nothing solves nothing for either party.</p>
<p>Using typical MAO formula might cause you to hang up the phone after 5 minutes once you realize they&#8217;re not willing to work out a solution.</p>
<p>But as a Creative investors&#8230;.&#8221;hand me the keys and I&#8217;ll take care of the rest&#8221; doesn&#8217;t always fly with these folks. They need and want more. They want something, want security, want knowingness that things will be alright.</p>
<p>Too many investors are only going after deals that fall in their lap. When with a small amount of digging and creative deal making there are much better deals ripe for the picken.</p>
<p>And guess what? If you&#8217;re a good straight up honest investor (and I hope you are) (damn you if you&#8217;re not, quit ruining it for the rest of us) you can actually end up really helping some families find good solutions.</p>
<p>So, beyond your typical &#8216;deal calculation&#8217; formula how bout adding a few of these things to the mix. They&#8217;ll help you secure MORE deals, that you&#8217;d otherwise have tossed.</p>
<p>1. How to help them KEEP their house and you still win</p>
<p>2. How to use Loss Mitigation to help them stop foreclosure</p>
<p>3. Hook up with a short sale negotiation firm to handle their short sale for them</p>
<p>4. Negotiate wiht the bank yourself</p>
<p>5. What about Loan Modifications&#8230;how does this help you? good question, but it can.</p>
<p>To many of you are &#8216;cutting your losses to early&#8217;. I&#8217;m not suggesting adding a ton more work to your load, but with a few more options in your bag, you might just come out the other side with more deals and more lucrative deals.</p>
<p>AND&#8230;You&#8217;d be the hero for helping these folks out.</p>
<p>Norm</p>
<p>PS. My friend and fellow investor covered some of these options in Section 4 of his 82 page <strong>Special Report &#8220;The Foreclosure Meltdown&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know how for years, entrepreneurs have avoided needing to have “Employees” because they’re able to classify the people who do some part time work for them as “Independent Contractors”?</p>
<p>Well, there’s been some abuse of this rule and now the IRS is shaking things up.</p>
<p>(Thanks a lot to all charlatans who blew it for us)</p>
<p>Here’s a couple of serious facts:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the IRS thinks you misclassified people you paid to do ‘side’ or ‘contract’ work, they could reclassify them as ‘employees’ and charge you back payroll taxes and penalties for not paying. (huge $$$$$$ fines)</li>
<li>If the people you hire ARE truthfully employees, then man-up and classify them as such and pay the damn taxes, quit ruining the Independent Contractor status for the rest of us.</li>
<li>Be mindful that immigrants (both illegal &amp; green-carded) are being advised that if they don’t to pay the taxes on the money they made as an “Independent Contractor” than they can fill out a form and tell the IRS they’re actually employees.</li>
</ol>
<p>You gotta get your situation straight on this stuff…the IRS means business and you need to get informed.</p>
<p>Here’s the deal…If you pay anyone consistently more than $600 a year, you need to read the new facts on this stuff.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://www.newtaxchanges4investors.com" target="_blank">Dr. Sara’s Tax Blog</a> for a recent post on this topic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>June 2010 Election Results To Have Major Negative<br />
Impact on Taxes for Investors. What Can Be Done?</p>
<p>Yesterday was the &#8216;Super-Tuesday&#8217; of primaries.</p>
<p>And throughout June many of you will be voting in<br />
your primary elections.</p>
<p>This is NOT a political post, but taxes and<br />
politics are closely related&#8230;And here&#8217;s what<br />
this has to do with me and you:</p>
<p>==&gt;If you followed any of the race results<br />
yesterday and over the month of Junes so far,<br />
there&#8217;s a clear buck against incumbents and &#8216;the<br />
establishment&#8217;.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s going to be a lot of new first time faces<br />
in Washington come January.</p>
<p>What does this mean for Taxes and You the tax<br />
paying real estate investor/entrepreneur?</p>
<p>The balance of power is certain to shift. And come<br />
January, it will likely be much tougher to get<br />
sweeping tax changes passed.</p>
<p>Which means a ramping up of tax changes between<br />
now and January is almost gauranteed.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s already been happening&#8230;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been following tax changes recently, you<br />
already know there are major shocking changes.<br />
Changes in capital gains, rental income, passive<br />
income, section 179, schedule c, 1099s, and much<br />
more. Which all result in huge tax increases.</p>
<p>(I&#8217;ll mention, there are new tax credits also)</p>
<p>With this new revelation at the voting booth,<br />
Watch out for even more serious changes.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve not seen the tax changes already passed in<br />
the last 6-12 months, and want to see a few ways<br />
to protect your self from them, you can check out<br />
this video.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tired of Working so Hard? You should have already<br />
&#8220;Made it&#8221; by now right?</p>
<p>Consider this&#8230;</p>
<p>The Top 10 Things a virtual Assistant Can Do for<br />
YOU the Real Estate Investor Starting Next Week?</p>
<p>&#8230;To save you time-<br />
&#8230;To save you aggravation<br />
&#8230;To help you make more $<br />
&#8230;To allow you to focus on what you&#8217;re good at &amp;<br />
enjoy<br />
&#8230;To provide skills you don&#8217;t have<br />
&#8230;To Replace you (mostly;)</p>
<p>Your &#8216;e probably sick and tired of working so hard<br />
right?  Been there done that?</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s just so much damn busy work to<br />
do&#8230;how do people do it all?</p>
<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s not even fun anymore? Ever felt<br />
that way?</p>
<p>Well, you&#8217;re not alone.</p>
<p>In fact, RE investors all over the country are<br />
feeling the same thing, But many have found &#8216;the<br />
equalizer&#8217; &#8230;something that makes it all better!</p>
<p>==&gt;&gt;GET THIS&gt;&gt;==, Ever thought it&#8217;d be nice to<br />
have an assistant? One that works for you 40hrs a<br />
week and does what ever you want and need?</p>
<p>A young, college educated 20 yr old anxious to<br />
work hard?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s 10 things VAs (virtual assistants) are<br />
doing for Real Estate Investors.<br />
1. Monitor Craigs list</p>
<p>2. Scour other FSBO sights</p>
<p>3. Keep up with and track county<br />
foreclosure lists</p>
<p>4. Scour the Internet for buyers</p>
<p>5. Search the net for sellers</p>
<p>6. Assemble the short sale pkg.</p>

inquires&#8217;</p>
<p>10. Post your properties on craig&#8217;s list, and all<br />
the other sites you post too.<br />
==&gt;&gt;&gt;LOOK&gt;&gt;==</p>
<p>I know all these 10 things are &#8216;little things&#8217; but<br />
they add up, they take time and lets face<br />
it&#8230;There&#8217;s only so much time in a day.</p>
<p>You can only do so much. PLUS&gt;&gt;&gt;</p>
<p>My friend Tim, from Houston, a mega investor has<br />
more than 12 full time VAs working his REI<br />
business for him.</p>
<p>See how he does it tomorrow night on a special<br />
webinar.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askyourmembers.com/Aff/AYM/1.htm">LearnMore</a></p>
<p>Register Now, We&#8217;ll See ya then.</p>
<p>Norm</p>

less than you&#8217;d expect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>30 Year Old Spends 2 Months Vacation in the<br />
Philippines &amp; Flipped 8 Houses Back Here While He<br />
Was Gone!</p>
<p>What?&#8230;How in the %&amp;$#?</p>
<p>Hey, And that’s not the end of it.</p>
<p>He was there with his entire family touring around<br />
and generally having an awesome time. (who<br />
wouldn’t be enjoying themselves on a huge 2 month<br />
vacation. Who ever heard of such a thing)</p>
<p>There’s TWO big fat interesting things about this:</p>
<p>1.How’d the guy have enough money to take his<br />
whole family on vacation to 2 MONTHS! That must of<br />
cost a fortune.</p>
<p>2. How was it that if he’s on the other side of<br />
the world, he still flipped 8 houses back in<br />
Houston?</p>
<p>I don’t what kind of lifestyle you live, but I’ll<br />
confess something right here.</p>
<p>I’d love to be in a position to leave for 2 months<br />
on world-wind vacation and come back home to see<br />
that’s 8 deals had been closed on my behalf. Money<br />
in the bank.</p>
<p>What about you?</p>
<p>Well, this 30 yr old ‘punk’ is a friend of mine<br />
and we’ll be having him on a Webinar Tomorrow<br />
night to discuss what in the world he’s doing that<br />
allows him this freedom.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askyourmembers.com/Aff/AYM/1.htm" target="_blank">Interested?</a><a href="http://www.UCREIAcalls.com"></a></p>
<p>Here’s Some of What I’ll Get Him to Cover:</p>
<p>1. A systematic approach to real estate investing<br />
where almost every single thing you do already has a preset result<br />
(You can&#8217;t get any more &#8220;connect-the-dots&#8221; than this.)</p>
<p>2. How to automate your business so it runs like a<br />
well-oiled machine with or without you.</p>
<p>3. A system that allows you to acquire and sell<br />
properties lightning fast (this you gotta see especially if you need to<br />
make money right now)</p>
<p>4. The easiest system to implement even if you&#8217;re<br />
entirely a newbie! (In fact it&#8217;s so easy, my friend has $2/hour<br />
Virtual Assistants doing this for him)</p>
<p>5. How to get the most motivated sellers and the<br />
most qualified buyers online and hit pay-dirt every-time.</p>
<p>6. How you can learn everything you need to know<br />
about a property in minutes without leaving your house &#8211; even if<br />
the property is across the country (You&#8217;ll love this)</p>
<p>7. A way to control a property and market it but<br />
still have the unlimited opportunity to back out from it if you change your<br />
mind.</p>
<p>8. The almost &#8216;miraculous&#8217; way to sell any deal in<br />
just one weekend.</p>
<p><a href="Interested?" target="_blank">Sound Pretty Cool?</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, did you see the latest from the U.S. Dept. of<br />
Tax Policy?</p>
<p>Turns out they know you overpaid and THEY&#8217;re NOT<br />
Going to PAY You BACK!</p>
<p>April 2010: Tax Policy Center [verbatim]</p>
<p> &#8221;The IRS Tax Code is getting more complex every<br />
year. There are 20-50% of the people who file<br />
their taxes that miss tax deductions and/or<br />
credits that they really qualify to get. So all<br />
 those people are paying more taxes than they are<br />
required to pay.&#8221;</p>
<p> &#8221;One of the reasons that the IRS code is so<br />
complex is that there is more than one way a tax<br />
deduction, credit, delay taxes on something  and<br />
be done.  Other things is how do you classify<br />
Income, expenses and much more.  If there was only<br />
one way to treat something then the tax code would<br />
be less than half the size it is now.&#8221;<br />
Well, I&#8217;ve known this all along&#8230;If you didn&#8217;t,<br />
you&#8217;d better learn it.</p>
<p>Because THEY&#8217;re NOT Going to tell you made a<br />
mistake and overpaid!</p>
<p>Better tune into this call on Tuesday:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got an interesting comment regarding tax advisors from someone that made me think&#8230;</p>
<p>A tax preparer (CPA, accountant, etc.) Prepares your taxes. They take the numbers you give them and put them in the right places.</p>
<p>They Don&#8217;t ADVISE you. Their not giving you tax strategy. They&#8217;re not interpreting new changes to the tax code and telling you about them.</p>
<p>They are simply tax prepareres.<br />
(nothing wrong with that, just making a statement)</p>
<p>The mistake people often make is they think their getting ADVICE, when they&#8217;re really only getting PREPERATION.</p>
<p>My personal Tax Strategist Told me a ton of brand-new changes to the tax code the other day that my CPA tax preparer DID NOT EVEN BRING UP.</p>
<p>Did you know there are more than 150 investor-specific changes just this year in the 1500 page Change-book the IRS put out for 2010?</p>
<p>Get this&#8230;</p>
<p>==&gt;Massive changes and a complete overhaul of FORGIVEN DEBT. Anyone buying, selling short sales, foreclosures, loan mods or in trouble on your own house.</p>
<p>==&gt;There are many 1 year only provisions, that if you do or don&#8217;t&#8217; do them NOW, you won&#8217;t be able too later. Some you don&#8217;t want to miss out on.</p>
<p>==&gt;With only a few weeks left till April 15, there are still things you can re-classify, re-catagorize and set up before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>==&gt;And many more changes that affect; landlords, flippers, Sub-2ers, rehabbers, commercial property owners, sandwich leases and just about every type of real estate investment out there.</p>
<p>Anyway, want to learn more? I got my personal tax strategist to clue us in.  (i&#8217;ll be there right along with you)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askyourmembers.com/tax/new.htm">http://www.askyourmembers.com/tax/new.htm</a></p>
<p>Norm Reid</p>
<p>P. S. Nothing will be sold on this call, this is my personal tax strategist and she&#8217;s just delivering content and taking questions at the end.</p>
