"98% of the millionaires in this country make their fortunes through Real Estate Investing".
These words inspire millions to get involved in real estate investing, yet lack that special 'secret ingredient' - the one thing that explains HOW to make those millions in real estate investing...
This real estate investing article holds the key to how you will make fortunes in real estate investing, or simply continue to struggle aimlessly...
The key to real estate investing riches is not in the latest technique, method or system. The key to real estate investing is in patience and research, monitoring the marketplace for a special 'event'...
Something 'big' in the marketplace that triggers rapid growth in the real estate investing market.
Such big indicators as;
- new major employment moving into the area
- a new factory (manufacturing)
- sales center (like a large outlet mall)
- entertainment (like a casino)
All trigger worthy examination as 'events' in real estate investing.
Other events that affect your real estate investing include sporting arenas, theme parks, even a new airport on the 'outskirts' of town...
All merit further investigation because they trigger fluctuation in the real estate investing marketplace.
When such events occur, there is a sudden rise in the demand for affordable housing in the area, rapidly affecting the real estate investing market.
Not only will the workers at the 'event' location need homes, there is also a need for housing from others - 'customers' that simply want to be near this new location.
Also, these workers will need support for their needs; car dealers, grocery stores, gas stations, clothing stores, etc.
As the 'support' base grows for this 'event', the need for additional housing grows as well.
You see, the 'support base' also needs support - from food stores to shopping centers to car dealers and utility companies - the whole thing just grows and grows!
By now you understand that such 'events' hold extreme value in the real estate investing cycle.
In fact, following such 'events' is the primary key to the number of millionaires that have made their fortunes through real estate investing.
When you monitor these events and take advantage of them early, you grow your wealth very quickly.
This is the simple, secret key to real estate investing wealth.

Real Estate Investing in Cabo San Lucas and even Cerritos Beach is Easier and Safer than you think
Real Estate Investing in Cabo San Lucas and the surrounding area, like Cerritos Beach and Todos Santos is now easy and safe. Get the 'inside track' on why it is now legal, safe and financially rewarding to do your real estate investing in this HOT area.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Several myths surround real estate ownership in the Cabo San Lucas area, beach property in places like Cerritos Beach and real estate investing in Mexico in general.
One of the biggest myths about owning property in Mexico is that it is impossible for foreigners to own land within 50km of the sea coast or 100km from the border.
Owning land in Cabo San Lucas and the surrounding area is easier than one might think and below is one example of how this is possible.
It is a great article by Carol Billups, that describes how Americans or any foreigner for that matter can (and do), own land and property within the Mexican states and the Baja Sur, Cabo San Lucas area.
Real Estate: Trust is Everthing Foreign Investment in Mexican Real Estate with the Fideicomiso of Mexican Bank Trust
"In Los Cabos, foreigners (US and Canadian citizens as well as all others) can buy property as long as they own it in a trust known as a Fideicomiso.
This trust, similar to a living trust, exists to hold title to one piece of property.
If your property is located within 50 Km from a sea coast or 100 Km from an international border this is the only way in which you can take title.
In Los Cabos that pretty much defines all of our real estate. But we're not complaining because not only is the Fideicomiso system safe it offers tax and estate planning advantages.
What you need to know are the terms of the trust." http://www.loscabosguide.com/realestate/fideicomiso.htm
It explains some of the rules as well as benefits of owning property in this manner. Although a great article on the Fideicomiso, (Mexican Bank Trust) it fails to show that owning land in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and beautiful beach access property like that in Cerritos Beach is also possible through a Mexican corporation; not unlike the U.S.
Own property in the Cabo San Lucas area and do your real estate investing in an area that is growing in leaps and bounds. Cerritos Beach property now available!

7 Top Real Estate Investing Jobs
Ready for maximum wealth in your Real Estate investing? It's easier than you think once you understand the 7 Top Real Estate Investing Jobs. This article provides a 'how-its-done' look to maximize your results.
Real Estate investing has long been proven to make tons of CA$H for the active investor and many of the real estate investing methods and techniques used to make some of the biggest (and quickest) CA$H only require a little time and a bit of knowledge (i.e., NO MONEY and NO CREDIT!) to rapidly bring home a really big check!
That’s the appeal of Real Estate investing courses to most people – to do deals that require little/no money or credit yet pay back huge rewards for the time and knowledge you get from following their systems.
Yet, the "investing" gets a bit lost in most of the world of "Real Estate Investing" - there is no "investing" other than a bit of time - there is no ROI (Return On Investment) other than the time-for-money factor.
Thats why I call these activities Real Estate Investing Jobs -they stop bringing income as soon as you stop working them.
Real Estate Investing through these jobs, while they make you CA$H, will never give you financial freedom as they only generate quick money and not long-term, passive income.
This article will look at some of the more popular methods of Real Estate Investing jobs.
One of the biggest challenges to overcome is the fact that, when discussing the money made through Real Estate Investing, the numbers of dollars are much more than your common corporate job, and many people simply are not ready to handle such discussions.
You see, when you were very young, you were programmed to think that $X was a large amount and often this amount was only a few hundred, or perhaps, a few thousand, dollars.
Yet, when discussing Real estate investing deals, there are often multiple thousands of dollars at stake.
Most people simply are not used to discussing such numbers, and wind up not making the money they could. They simply have not learned the language of Real Estate Investing.
One of the first lessons I teach my students is how to get past the fear of discussing hundreds of thousands of dollars and changing the programming you were given as a child to form open ideas about money and investing to make even more money.
One quick step you can do to begin this journey is to look deep inside yourself and ask yourself how you feel about money. Can you comfortably discuss figures in the hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Most people learn quite quickly - with just a little bit of practice.
With that in mind, it is time to look at these Real Estate Investing Jobs more closely.
These 'jobs' bring you various levels of income, depending on your area, so instead of discussing them in dollar values, we will look at them from a percentage standpoint.
Of course, with these examples, the amount of work, time and knowledge you put into it will certainly pay off more (or less);
1. Property Profiling (birddogging) - this popular way to get started in real estate investing provides a real estate investing job with a decent income - something along the lines of what a factory worker would make in the area.
2. Lease Purchase - this powerful tool can be utilized to buy and sell property with no money out of your pocket (a Real Estate Investing sandwich), while keeping a nice pocketful of money for your time (can you tell this is one of my favorites?) An active person can make about 1.5 - 3 times more than the Property Profiler, on average.
3. Subject To - with a bit of training, you can make this method of real estate investing really pay off big. Once you know how to negotiate these deals, your real estate investing income will reach that of corporate executives - with much less of a time requirement.
4. Foreclosures - while highly lucrative and one of the top income producing methods of real estate investing, the time and knowledge required to actively pursue such deals is becoming more difficult all the time.
The payoff to those that can perform these deals is huge - about 10 times that of the Property Profilers, however, finding deals is much more difficult due to the number of people looking for them.
5. Tax Lien certificates - this is a true form of Real Estate Investing - actually putting your money into something that produces a return - one of the safest investments around with returns that beat any other form of passive investing. If you have money to invest, this is a great area to get into with 15%+ return with almost no down side.
This is still a real estate investing 'job' as tax lien certificates are short term, quick turn profit generators, not sustained over time, plus they take skill and talent to make the maximum profits.
6. Short Sales - this form of Real Estate Investing is another job, as your knowledge level and timing are extremely important. A lot of money can be made with this type of Real Estate Investing job - as much or more than any other form - once you know how.
7. Secondary notes/Purchasing Equity positions - a 'higher level' of real estate investing, where more knowledge is needed to limit the risk, however, the returns on equity position purchases can be extremely high - from 6%-10% for fully passive results and 'sky's the limit' for purchasing equity positions.
Yes, once you get past the internal false programming - the LIES you have been taught all your life about money, you can begin a successful career in Real Estate Investing - through a variety of Real Estate Investing Jobs and then onto true, full, watch-your-money-grow Real Estate Investing.

It is coming.....
The Lazy Investor
Very soon....
You will be pleased...
I am quite excited...
Just what is it?
One of the HOTTEST things I've seen on the internet!
Are you tired of SPAM and JUNK in your Inbox?
Wish there was a way to TOTALLY block out any/everyone from blasting into your computer so you could ONLY receive info from those you truly want to hear from?
A way to do BUSINESS online - without all the garbage sent by those without integrity - someone that STOLE your email address from somewhere and now they fill your day with stress, brought on by deleting messages you really needed.
And, what about all those FILTERS - those things that were SUPPOSSED to help us?
Well, with nearly every word in the English language now being utilized in some way or other by these SPAMMERS, it is nearly impossible to get an email through the filter systems of most ISP and large services (where, most likely, you either have an email there yourself, or your customers are there!)
Unless you have been living under a rock somewhere, you know of these issues - lost email, overly-active filters and even now, the 'big boys' are talking about CHARGING for email to get your message delivered to your subscribers and friends!
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK!
Or, at least, take the next step in communication - the 'leading edge' of technology - to BYPASS EMAIL as a business tool and REGAIN CONTROL of our vital communications!
And, I, for one, am doing something about it!
I've just been introduced to a FANTASTIC new software - one that allows us to keep in touch INSTANTLY so you can grab all the latest news, articles and DEALS as they become available!
You may have heard of 'rss', 'xml', 'blogs' or even 'podcasting' - well, this software OUTDOES THEM ALL!
By combining not only 'blog', 'podcasts', 'news' and 'instant messaging', but also useful tools like a scheduler and 'channel' guide to keep track of all your subscriptions.
Not only that, you can log into my webinar room with just a couple clicks!
Talk about INSTANT contact!
Now, let's look at how we are going to use this super tool for building your real estate investing business.
1. DEAL Alerts
This will prove to be the FASTEST way for you to know about deals as they come across my desk. If you are subscribed to this 'channel', you will receive a notification ON YOUR DESKTOP within seconds of it being posted!
No waiting for email to get through the 'ether' (sometimes it has taken up to 5 HOURS for my messages to get through!) and certianly no missing out on any HOT deals because of some over-zealous spam filter - from someone that knows nothing about the real estate business!
2. Training sessions
With this technology, we will be able to connect together often, to open up more training events and sessions for you - a way to keep in touch and get all the training directly from me - but without having to travel or sit in a conference room all day!
Not that we won't still have live conferences and training sessions - they have a tremendous value for networking and face-to-face that nothing else provides....
However, we will be able to do MORE training at a LOWER PRICE, which keeps your budget in check and leverages your time as well!
3. New Articles and training tid-bits
Of course, I won't stop sending out these FREE tips, tricks and techniques, too - NO WAY!
As a subscriber of The Lazy Investor's Basic Training channel, you will receive all the tips and 'musings' - the 'goings-on' that you have come to know around here...
So, just how can you get involved in this great technology?
Just what will it take for you to get started receiving all this valuable info INSTANTLY?
Just hang loose, right here.
I am finalizing the testing of this software (still in development - this is really 'cutting edge' stuff!) and it will all be released very soon.
So, as they say ' Stay Tuned ' it is coming!
Happy Investing,

NO income, NO Credit, NO Transport & IRS problems...
Real Estate Investing with No Money, No Credit and even IRS problems? Discover tips and a step-by-step simple plan to get started right away.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Is Real Estate Investing really possible with NO income, NO established credit, NO transportation, and IRS problems?
YES!
The other part of that - the 'What do I do about it?' part - well, that one is simple, too...
In fact, it is similar to the situation I was once in when I was starting out in real estate investing.
Let's go through it, step-by-step...
If you have 'no' money, the first thing to say is - if that is true, how do you eat?
You see, that is one of the most important things you must do to get started - be honest with yourself and take a serious look at your current situation.
If you are serious about real estate investing, you must understand that the world will not give you a living, nobody will be your 'daddy' and the government isn't going to make it happen for you.
Now, I know, this is a bit harsh, but you have to face reality - there ain't no free lunch anywhere and until you look that truth in the face, you will never be successful in anything - certainly not real estate investing.
By now, you are ready to begin your real estate investing journey with strength and truth, have stopped reading or looking for a link to get off my list.
You make a choice, which ever way...
For those that are still with me, know that there is no 'sugar coating' in this message! (to paraphrase a movie - "There ain't no crying in real estate investing!")
So, here's the step-by-step plan to move from a situation where you have little income, no credit established, no car and IRS problems into a world of successful real estate investing...
1. You already conquered the toughest one - facing the truth that you are the one responsible for your own actions.
Congratulate yourself for this (yes, go to the mirror, right now and tell yourself "Congratulations! You understand that you are the one responsible for your actions! You have taken the first step in real estate investing!")
2. Start profiling properties for other investors. You have taken the toughest step (you did #1 completely, didn't you? If not, DO IT NOW!)
You aren't quite ready to take on a deal by yourself - yet.
So, begin your real estate investing journey by finding deals for others. The Lazy Investor's Guide to Property Profiling is perfect for that - in fact, it is exactly what it is designed for!
3. As you begin to make money profiling real estate investing properties for others, don't spend it! (hey, you were living without income before - stick with that, for awhile - it will pay off soon!)
Put that cash away in a safe place (a bank account would be good - put it in a debit card with a major credit card logo - that will establish credit FAST!
To skyrocket your credit, take the steps detailed in The Lazy Investor's Guide to Raise Capital, Build Credit and Wipe Out Debt.
4. Look for real estate investing deals for others, but now that you have a bit of cash, look for other real estate investing deals for yourself. One of my favorite things to do with a bit of cash is to work Lease Purchase real estate investing deals.
Now, they don't always require it, but you will find a lot more real estate investing deals to work if you put a small amount down (I'm talking $10 or $100 most of the time - which is the legal minimum in most states).
Depending on the deal, you might put $1000 on it.
See my website for more on how to make tons of cash from this powerful real estate investing tool (yeah, it is my absolute favorite real estate investing method!).
5. Now, you are on your way! Make all the deals you can for yourself and sell off those you can't to other investors, you make plenty of income to begin to take on even bigger real estate investing deals.
The Lazy Investor's Guide to Real Estate Investing is the right thing for you. With this, you start to make more creative real estate investing deals, with more cash staying in your pocket.
That is what you want, isn't it?
That's it for now on this question - oh, as for the 'no car' and 'IRS troubles' part...
After you make some cash, buy a bicycle, then a scooter or something, then a car - to really start, you may have to actually WALK around to find real estate investing deals at first...
If you don't like that answer, re-read #1...
IRS problems - you got yourself into them, do what it takes to get out of them! Use some of that cash you are making from real estate investing to pay off the bill and get on with your life!
You can often negotiate with the IRS to either get a payment plan or drop the total bill. You might want to check out The Lazy Investor's Guide to Sales, Marketing and Negotiation if you need skills in this area.
Do this, or choose to live in fear and hiding the rest of your life...
If you don't like that answer, re-read #1...
OK, I'm done on this one - more later....

A 'LAZY' Review of 'Zumanity' (a Las Vegas show)...
The Lazy Investor
A 'LAZY' Review of 'Zumanity' (a Las Vegas show)...
Many people want me to give more 'personal' info - kind of a 'how do you spend your time' log of my life, so, here is a bit of that...
Note that I'm not one to ramble on and on about nothing - something I see a lot of on blogs in general - boy, are there some chatterboxes out there!
This post is for those folks that like to read the goings-on, so if that isn't you, stop here!
OK, disclaimer over - let's get to the review!
A couple days ago, my family and I went to the Las Vegas show called "Zumanity" at the New York, New York casino.
The whole thing was planned as a 'surprise' by my son's girlfriend, who lives with us (longer story than you'll likely hear on this blog.....;) as a Valentine's Day gift...
The biggest part of the surprise, to me, was that it was for Valentine's Day, as it is was well over a week away!
Anyhow, that was what she called it and she got some FANTASTIC seats - right off the stage (amazing what deals you can find when you don't follow the 'standard' dates and flow of crowds - that, in itself is a L.A.Z.Y. method of living!)
So, on to the show - once we knew where we were going (I was driving the Hummer so I had to be told a bit in advance where the destination was...), we headed down to the Strip and went to the valet parking (a Las Vegas tip - 99% of the time, use the valet in Vegas. They don't charge for parking and the entrance is usually close to just about everything. Give them a buck when you leave it and one when you pick it up - they are always thrilled...)
But, one more tip - don't take your Hummer (H2 anyway) to the valet at New York, New York - their parking garage can't handle them! That was certainly a surprise to us, but, in typical L.A.Z.Y. style, we kindly remarked to the attendant that we had a 75 year old grandma in a wheelchair with us and that it is hard to get her up/down, etc, etc (it really doesn't matter WHY, most of the time when you ask for special treatment and give some sort of reason, people will let you have it - another L.A.Z.Y. tip...)
Not only did the attendant take the truck, they parked it on the main curb - right in front of the hotel! When we came back after the show, it was already sitting right there!
Back to the review (or, have I even ever gotten there?)...
Surprise number 2 was that this is a VERY ADULT show! No, it isn't a 'striptease' or anything too bad, but it is quite an adult theme and a provocative, sexy thing, with lots of 'upper body flesh' showing - and not just on the guys....
You wouldn't want to take your 1st date there, I'd think.....
And, certainly not if you are sitting in the first couple rows, or on the isles (oh, another 'tip' about Vegas shows - many of them are 'audience participation' themes and if you are on the aisles or in the front row (i.e., 'close enough to grab'), you just might get picked for some 'participation'.....)
The show itself was quite good, the actors all playing their parts well.
Lots of athletic stuff going on, too - some, pretty erotic! (personally, I liked the girl in the swimming pool the most - interesting flexibility!) There was one other 'stand-out' performer, in my opinion (although, again, I would say they were all good) - that he was only seen a few minutes before the performance and then 'in the shadows' throughout the show was a shame (another one of those 'tips' for Vegas shows - they tend to have things going on all over the place - look for performers in the rafters as well as on stage...). This was the 'spider-guy' - I don't recall his name or anything, but his talent for movement was really great.
Now, he was not a contortionist - they had one of those! This guy was amazing - touching his toes together by bending his legs BACKWARD! That is quite a feat (or, is that 'feet'...?)!
I would recommend the Zumanity show if you are adult enough to handle it (be warned, there is a lot of nudity in it - tastefully done, and often comically done as well). Where we were sitting, we only got 'participated' from confetti and once, where the guy was naked and strutting through the seats right above us.....
Well, you'll have to go to the show to find out more on that one!!!
Hope you enjoy this 'review'. You can write to me and let me know if you want more of this stuff (or not)... I'm always open to whatever works for both sides!

Put a little mayonnaise in your rice...
The Lazy Investor
Put a little mayonnaise in your rice...
You read that right...
Put a little mayonnaise in your rice!
You know, I'm not one to change my diet much - oh, I'm no
'health nut' - far from it, but there are a few things I
like to eat pretty much every day...
For breakfast, I like toast - hot and buttered.
Now, on occasion, I do add some jam (watch out if there is
grape jelly though... ;) and on rare occasions I have been
known to 'experiment'...
On one such 'binge', I wanted to try something different
and put a sliced banana on my toast, then poured a bit of
honey over the top - Y.U.M.M.Y.!
That has proven to be my #1 favorite breakfast, but I don't
have it everyday - that would ruin the treat!
For lunch (and most dinners), I'm one of those 'heat it up,
roll it in a burrito bread and I'm done' kind of folks.
Pretty much any leftovers make it a meal that satisfies my
'pangs'.
Well, recently, I was fixing one of these 'dinners' for
myself and my wife (she often shares in my concoctions -
without the burrito bread...)
Even her 74-year old mother got in on this one - some rice,
veggies and stuff...
But...
She (grandma) told me to put some mayonnaise in her rice.
Now, I thought she'd gone totally nuts (after all, she has
had some lapses in memory and such lately and with her
other health problems, it wouldn't be a surprise...)
However, I fixed it as per her request - after all, it
wasn't me that had to eat it!
But, then, something amazing happened...
As I was cleaning up from fixing her meal, I grabbed the
spoon I'd used to mix her concoction with and stuck it in my
mouth...
One of those things you do - right?
And, to my total amazement, it was GOOD!
YUMMY in fact!
So good that I made my 'burrito' with the same mixture!
So good in fact that I made TWO of them!
So good that I will, from this day forward, be putting
mayonnaise in my rice - often...
What does any of this have to do with real estate
investing?
Actually, a lot!
You see, oftentimes, you get stuck on just how to do your
next deal - just what to do to make your next one go
through quickly so you get paid.
Many times, it is because you only know one technique - or
one version of it...
Sometimes you simply get stuck in a 'rut' and only want to
do things one way...
Yes, even with something as simple as Lease Purchase (or
Lease Option - however you like to call it...), there are
different methods to get to the end result - which, in my
opinion, is to get you PAID!
The technique I teach in The Lazy Investor's Guide to Lease
Purchase has the most powerful marketing and 'powers of pursuasion'
systems in it I have ever seen - and GET you PAID - BIG!
What do you think?
I mean, if you have a system that allows you to consistently
bring a seller down on their price while taking buyers from
"A couple thousand down" to
"$20,000 non-refundable option money" -
would that be something you want to use for yourself, right
where you live?
It's just like putting mayonnaise in your rice...
Put things together just a little differently - and the
results are YUMMY!
You just have to be willing to taste it for yourself...
But, watch out - you may just find how much you LIKE it!

A Simple Plan for Starting a Business of Real Estate Investing
Follow this simple step-by-step process to change your life, increase your income and have a successful business in Real Estate Investing. This article provides a 'how-its-done' look to maximize your results.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Starting a business of real estate investing - whether you work out of an office or a 'home based business' you run out of a corner of your bedroom, you can drastically change your life, and your income in as little as 10 hours per week - all through a very simple plan of real estate investing.
It is possible to become successful in real estate investing in a short time and, even when starting a business of real estate investing, you can find the time without crimping your current lifestyle!
Starting a business of real estate investing with a simple plan.
1. Groundwork of your simple plan is crucial when starting a business of real estate investing.
I know, it is easy to say - and the truth is, it is easy to do! Most people get stopped when starting a business of real estate investing because they simply FAIL to plan. That's right, it isn't because their plan didn't work, it was because they did not implement even a very simple plan!
To be successful in real estate investing, first find someone else that is successful in real estate investing, watch them, interview them, find out everything you can about what they did when starting a business - and write up a simple plan of what they have done to be successful in their real estate investing - something that you can follow each day.
In order to have what they have, you need to do what they do, so find out what percentage of their day is spent on the telephone, for instance.
Find out how much of that time is spent on making calls, receiving calls and the type of calls they are (Customer Service, making deals, etc.)
That gives you a good idea of what your total time should look like, when you are starting a business of real estate investing of your own.
2. The next step in developing your simple plan as you are starting a business of real estate investing is to divide your total time (10 hours per week is a great start) just like your successful mentor does.
Even if they put in a hundred hours per week, they still divide their time, just like you will, once you begin working your simple plan.
The 'secret to success' isn't in the hours - it is how you spend them!
Follow the simple plan outlined here to make the most of your hours and get the most out of everything as you are starting a business of real estate investing with a plan of success.
If your mentor spends 1/10th of their time making outgoing phone calls to find new business, then you need to spend 1/10th of the time you dedicate to your real estate investing business doing the same thing, a pretty simple plan, huh?
3. Set your Goals.
A clear destination is something you always do when starting out on vacation, isn't it?
Then have the same thing in mind when you are starting a business of real estate investing.
Every successful person says to have a goal in mind so you know where you are going, and our simple plan gives you the steps to get there!
A goal is crucial in anything, and certainly when starting a business of real estate investing.
Without a destination (a specific income amount, a personal item like a car or boat, or simply an amount set aside in savings), how will you know if you ever arrived?
4. Track your progress.
You have your goal in mind, and a simple plan to begin. It is time to get into your 10 hours per week program and 'backtrack' to create a clear and simple plan to follow.
Take your goal (a clear date of completion and 'destination'), divide it out and chart the required progress each day, week, month and/or year to quickly know what is required to reach your destination.
Follow your progress each day to know quickly if you are sticking to your original goal destination, or if you are ahead or behind schedule.
As you are starting a business of real estate investing, you will likely come across some detours, that's OK (and where many people get lost... Do not!)
When driving, if you find a road that is blocked or a path that seems impassible, you simply find another way around, right?
The same is true when starting a business of real estate investing, just find another way.
Include in your simple plan a few hours here/there just for such 'emergencies'.
If you have no emergencies, do something else that will get you closer to your destination, or just relax and enjoy where you are.
5. Spend time ON your business, not only IN your business.
In your simple plan for starting a business of real estate investing, you must set aside part of your working time to plan, set goals, promote and advertise your business, not simply work along in your business, doing the things you do.
In today's world, when starting a business of real estate investing, you will most likely have a website. You need to spend a certain portion of your time (even 10 hours per week total) on getting more visitors to that website. The more people that see what you have to offer, the quicker your business will grow.
You could spend time driving from house to house, telling everyone about your website (not a very simple plan for your time!), or you can maximize your time by writing articles about your business and post them online where many people will see them (many online services promote articles).
This is often overlooked by people as they are starting a business of real estate investing, and one of the reasons they fail to make their simple plan.
As your business grows over time, you will do less of this (but never stop!) and begin to work your simple plan toward the 'IN your business' phase.
6. Give excellent Customer Service.
It never pays to make your customers angry. An upset customer will kill more business than you can imagine. Find a way to work with them, or simply give them their money back.
Losing customers is something you cannot afford when you are starting a business of real estate investing!
Many people simply don't make the time to provide quality service to their customers. Do not let that happen to you!
A little up front planning and goal setting, then follow-through each week, then simply repeat the process.
You will change your business from flat to cash in a short amount of time!
Follow the steps above and it can be done in as much or as little time as you have.
When starting a business of real estate investing, if you follow the simple plan I have outlined here, you are already a success!

Starting a business of real estate investing - whether you work out of an office or a 'home based business' you run out of a corner of your bedroom, you can drastically change your life, and your income in as little as 10 hours per week - all through a very simple plan of real estate investing.
It is possible to become successful in real estate investing in a short time and, even when starting a business of real estate investing, you can find the time without crimping your current lifestyle!
Starting a business of real estate investing with a simple plan.
1. Groundwork of your simple plan is crucial when starting a business of real estate investing.
I know, it is easy to say - and the truth is, it is easy to do! Most people get stopped when starting a business of real estate investing because they simply FAIL to plan. That's right, it isn't because their plan didn't work, it was because they did not implement even a very simple plan!
To be successful in real estate investing, first find someone else that is successful in real estate investing, watch them, interview them, find out everything you can about what they did when starting a business - and write up a simple plan of what they have done to be successful in their real estate investing - something that you can follow each day.
In order to have what they have, you need to do what they do, so find out what percentage of their day is spent on the telephone, for instance.
Find out how much of that time is spent on making calls, receiving calls and the type of calls they are (Customer Service, making deals, etc.)
That gives you a good idea of what your total time should look like, when you are starting a business of real estate investing of your own.
2. The next step in developing your simple plan as you are starting a business of real estate investing is to divide your total time (10 hours per week is a great start) just like your successful mentor does.
Even if they put in a hundred hours per week, they still divide their time, just like you will, once you begin working your simple plan.
The 'secret to success' isn't in the hours - it is how you spend them!
Follow the simple plan outlined here to make the most of your hours and get the most out of everything as you are starting a business of real estate investing with a plan of success.
If your mentor spends 1/10th of their time making outgoing phone calls to find new business, then you need to spend 1/10th of the time you dedicate to your real estate investing business doing the same thing, a pretty simple plan, huh?
3. Set your Goals.
A clear destination is something you always do when starting out on vacation, isn't it?
