I haven’t been posting regularly for the past week and a half, in fact the last article I wrote was posted about using social media to enhance your real estate business. Since that writing I did after attending that seminar I have had rapid changes come to me in the way of inspiration and action.

Here is the last article I wrote on using social media. All I know is between that day and the day I was asked a simple question of “Why”, I have been on a mission.

A mission that will take more than just myself to get it going. I decided that social media is more than just a tool that can be leveraged for gains in viewership as well as a quick way to start gaining momentum in presence of yourself and or your business.

I knew if done properly the concept of social media could be displayed by using it’s sheer power and ease of simplicity. I knew I could use it to make a massive shift in the direction and choices people make daily.

This shift would create enough of an interest and reason to give people the power to take control of a trend to leverage it and make huge positive impacts. This is why I am writing you today, I need you to help spread the word.

Over the next 72 hours I will be reshaping my blog then my website RyanWegman.com I will be releasing my message to the world and starting to spread it quickly.

Soon after I ensure everything functions I am opening up the door to a select few. Only those who are serious to make change as well as impact lives will qualify for a rare chance to have personal 1 on 1 coaching with myself and a guest panel of professionals who will take on the task of reshaping your financial future.

After my original goal is reached of my undisclosed number of initial participants I will be opening the door to affiliate and joint venture partners to accelerate the process of change and influence.

These affiliates are my secret weapon to gaining momentum. But I didn’t want to stop there, I have been able to gather some valuable training on the proper usage of social from a close friend of mine.

In essence we are going to launch two separate products, to two very different markets and then the twist which I have not dropped on him yet is we are going to share his principles of social media to leverage your experience and efforts and at he same time spread my message to his huge audience of listeners.

Did I mention he has a prior 20 years in Radio as a professional DJ? This guy really knows his stuff when it comes to media and the social effect it can have on the ears who fall up it to listen.

Remember the original story of the War of THE World by Orson Wells? The panic, chaos and fear it produced simply because many viewers missed the opening statement “This is only a story none of this is real; well that’s the gist of it any way.

Get ready to take life by the horns and start making the choices that are essential and necessary to change the direction you are going in life. Be on the watch for my new site design, check today then check tomorrow I know you are going to be pleasantly inspired. Go ahead and take the challenge today.

Maximizing your real estate investments aren’t as daunting of a task as you may think. You may have heard that creating wealth in real estate is the best way to go for enormous gains and returns on investments. However many would be investors have not figured out the simplicity in investing properly.

They find a deal on a house for sale write an offer and get it accepted. Now that the acceptance has been receive all logical thought processes seem to have gone by the way side. This is the time when your thought processes need to be at their highest and most alert.

Here is where people get into trouble they go ahead with deals without proper guidance, with no input from a mentor or coach of any kind. They go about there business, close the transaction and before they know it they have negative cash flow, tons of unexpected costs from repairs and upgrades and no recourse for the transaction.

Buying real estate isn’t rocket science by any means, your basically looking at the soundness of the structure, the rental income potential if this is an investment, costs of repairs associated with the purchase transaction (paint, carpet, plumbing, electrical, roof, sheet rock, foundation and landscaping too name a few).

Also the financing involved will play a huge factor in the overall closing costs associated with the transaction and the amount of down payment will influence two factors; one being the cash flow that can be attained from the investment, secondly the return on your investment dollars will be determined by how much down payment is put on the real estate to be purchased or acquired.

Here is where your maximizing potential is influenced the most, yet all of the other factors indicated in this article also play a huge part. Your financing interest rate will have a huge reflection on your payment and there for it will also affect your cash flow potential.

Also your vacancy rate and time can play a huge part if your investing in single family residences, duplexes even apartment buildings can have a vacancy rate that is high depending on the outside influential circumstances (poor management, poor upkeep of grounds and facility, over prices rental rates, etc.).

Now before we get ahead of ourselves we need to also consider the most important part of the transaction and that’s the purchase price. If you pay too high of a price you’ll never make enough money on the appreciation side of the transaction to make it a worth while transaction.

You need to pick up property that can at a minimum cash flow at a break even point that included part to all of the taxes and insurance on the subject property. In our current economic status bargains are every where yet there are still many thorny properties out there.

These properties are not for the faint of heart, you can find great deals on them but they require more time, patience and skills to make the repairs necessary. These properties are usually dilapidated, virtually wrecked and usually have termite or foundation issues.

So you can see there are many factors to consider when making investment decisions, you must be shrewd, calculate risk, have a strong willed constitution and be willing to put forth some effort and elbow grease and the deals will flow.

Never do a deal that your gut instincts aren’t comfortable with you should always trust your judgment and intuition. Make your real estate transactions smooth and simple by using a professional real estate agent to cut your learning curve.

Even professional investors use real estate agent to find tenants, sell property or even find bargains through their network of professional real estate agents, contacts and fellow investors. Also real estate agents have listings that may not be on the MLS or listing services for others to see.

When you have an agent who gives you first right of refusal on properties your deal finding skills just added another arrow to your quiver of sources. Network and find the local real estate agents you wish to work with be fair and loyal and establish your professional reputation.

Maximize your searching, maximize your profits, maximize your freedom all by learning to maximize your real estate investments.

As the famous Warren Buffet would say I only have two main principles when it comes to money and investing.

Rule number 1: Don’t lose any money

Rule number 2: Remember rule number 1

Watch this short video then read on

Even in these turbulent times of market volatility, extreme focus on political matters and the just passed presidential election we the people of the USA need to stand up and fight for our rights.We owe it too ourselves not to be financially sound so we don’t feel the impact of higher taxes, stricter rules when it comes to trading stocks and commodities.

So without going off on a tangent here my principles are equal to that of Mr. Buffet with one exception. I can’t afford to feel the set backs due to market volatility and I certainly can’t afford to spend my days, nights, lunch hours and breaks researching the thousands of stocks in hopes of a good buy.

Also I can’t afford to sit by and watch the market bounce from highs to lows every 15 seconds. Just as an indicator here I listen to KCBS AM Talk Radio out of San Francisco, they do a traffic report and money report every 10 minutes.

Every 10 minutes the DOW, Nasdaq, S&P 500 are up, down and down or slightly up. This goes on for the entire duration of the trading activity. Can you imagine your investments rallying or volleying every 10 minutes and having to stomach the losses.

Sure there are winners but was it luck or do you actually have a skilled investment adviser who can watch and recognize trends in their market.?

Did you know that not only do they get a commission for you earnings, they also earn a commission on your losses; that’s right on your losses because they charge a fee in the transaction unless you happen to find a charitable planner.

So anyway back to my title of this article buy land and wait, I have very specific reasons for my beliefs, 1st when is the last time you heard about the land market crashing, or a slow down in the production of new land? Are you getting my drift?

Land is a non renewable resource, land is the most stable and secure investment vehicle you can place your capital into for both preservation and long term appreciation. You owe it to yourself to learn the ins and outs of a practice called land banking.

Warren Buffet bough most of his fortune when Coca Cola was $0.25 per share. Twenty five cents a share, now I know he is regarded as the most respected and innovative fund managers of the year, however I couldn’t afford him personally for the fees he commands. His own private shares of Berkshire Hathaway were over $10,000/ share, Warren never believed in splitting.

So with that in mind you need to find a reliable source for your precious capital investments, can you afford not to? Take a look at why so many people are running scared from the stock market and looking for a sound investment that can offer safety, security, profitability and performance that is consistent of that of an athlete, or a finely tunes machine.

Learn the simple process of obtaining wealth through a strategy called land banking and secure your future, your children’s future or your heirs future. No matter what position you are in we can develop a plan to systematically grow your wealth to it’s fullest potential.
