Real Estate Investment Training
Dec 26, 2008 Investment Strategy
Real estate investment programs that are mailed to you are what H. Roger Neal® likes to call real estate education. Having someone call you weekly, at appointed times for 30 minutes per session and every week thereafter for a total of 8 weeks, is what H. Roger Neal® likes to call real estate investing training. Granted, real estate investing training is technically real estate education, but it is essentially a different type of education. The training is where a coach takes a student by the hand and walks them through the course study, much like a teacher does in a classroom situation. In a classroom situation, or seminar, the instructor takes the class through the course study systematically from beginning to end. Throughout the process, students are free to ask questions as they arise. In this case, however, you can go to your job and train in a more convenient time while in the privacy of your own home. Furthermore, the real estate investing training, or coaching, is taught at your own pace with a lesson plan book. And, your spontaneous questions are between just you and your coach. Although you will be given a structured lesson plan book, your coach can easily speed up, or slow down, your course study depending upon your homework assignments being completed. Your coach can, and has, postponed coaching sessions to allow the student to get his, or her, homework assignments done. We understand that it is difficult juggling a fulltime job, family, and homework assignments. Furthermore, your coach also understands, and allows for, vacations and previous engagements. It’s not a problem if you take 11 weeks to fulfill the 8 week coaching program. We value your coaching sessions, as well as your complete real estate investing training. We do prefer that we get the training done in the shortest period of time, though. The sooner you learn the program, the sooner you can get out into the field and make some money. By the way, that is the purpose for the real estate investing training anyway. The whole idea is to get you trained as quickly as possible so that you can start fulfilling your dreams.
Real Estate Investing Class
Dec 19, 2008 Seminars
The real estate investing class by H. Roger Neal® in Ohio is about his affiliate network, foreclosures and short sales. It begins on a Tuesday evening where you have a Meet & Greet, where H. Roger Neal® will attend. Appetizers and such will be served. The entire day on Wednesday will be devoted to the Affiliate Network by H. Roger Neal®. This is where you will learn how to evaluate and examine real estate agent’s fliers/packets/binders in as little as 20 seconds to 2 minutes. Really, it’s true. You will learn how to examine multi-million dollar, residential, apartment complexes using techniques H. Roger Neal® has used in his purchases for many years. He discloses his techniques for dealing with real estate agents and finding really good deals. Once you can tell what a good deal is, and what isn’t, you can buy it yourself, get an option to purchase and sell it to someone else, get a partner and buy it, or dump it on H. Roger Neal™ for 5% of the entire project as a junior partner. On Thursday begins the real estate investing class in foreclosures. Binders are provided for class study to aide in the powerpoint presentation. Friday is a field trip to the courthouse to visit the map and records room, and actually attend an auction. You will have lunch and then continue the field trip to visit properties bought from the auction, fixed up, and rented. Towards the end of the day, you will regroup back at the conference room to review and discuss the daytime events. Saturday is a half day from 9-12:00. The topic is short sales. You will again receive another binder for this real estate investing class to follow along that presentation as well. Short sales are where a foreclosure has actually been filed, the bank agrees to take less than what’s owed, the foreclosure is dismissed, and the auction on that property never transpires. For example, someone can owe the bank $246,000. The bank agrees to sell it to you for $175,000 and gives good title, waiving the difference between $175,000 and $246,000. It was a foreclosure, but becomes a short sale. It’s so sweet to teach, and even sweeter to do. This is a fabulous real estate investing class that you won’t want to miss. I’ll see you there!
Real Estate Investing Seminar
Dec 12, 2008 Seminars
About every two years H. Roger Neal® tries to hold a special real estate investing seminar at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The last one was held at the new Coronado Hotel on the Disney property. H. Roger Neal® offers topics that are not ordinarily offered at his regular real estate investing seminars. As for his regular real estate investing seminars there is the $1 DOWN And NOTES: Creating & Brokering that is held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Also, there is his regular real estate investing seminar on the Affiliate Network by H. Roger Neal®, Foreclosures, and Short Sales typically held in Ohio. (Sometimes, landlording is added on Monday and Tuesday prior to the scheduled Wednesday through Saturday seminar.) This seminar also includes a field trip to not only an auction at the courthouse, but to locations of houses that were bought at auction, fixed up, and rented. Many times there are ongoing projects that we can inspect progress. What makes Orlando special is that H. Roger Neal® offers topics that were not mentioned above. At the last 2-day conference at the Coronado, the topics were:
- Networking: 2 hours
- Negotiating: 2 hours
- Funding: 4 hours
- Financing: 4 hours
- Partnering: 4 hours
There have been discussions about a cruise and locations in California and New York, but nothing has been shored up yet. I was actually approached by a firm in Florida who stated that they would host my 2-4 day seminars on a huge yacht at no charge to me, as long as they could give a yacht, time-share presentation to my students for 2 hours. It sounded like a fabulous idea. All I would need to do is have it catered and book nearby hotel rooms. I had seen photos of the yachts and they were, indeed, corporate size. They were quite large. I thought it was a great idea. When I was planning my airfare for Orlando, I gave them a call to plan future events and said I was coming down, but they had changed their minds. Consequently, I didn’t even get a boat ride out of the deal, let alone an on-the-water conference! The special conferences are usually held in November, before the holiday season begins. When I host the next one, I will post it on the upcoming real estate investing seminars.
Real Estate Investing Guide Book
Dec 5, 2008 Programs
In 1990, the first real estate investing guide book by H. Roger Neal® was released. H. Roger Neal® is as proud of that book today, as he was back then. All of the reviews over all these years have been rave reviews, and I feel that the positive reception from that book catapulted me to where I am today in that public speaking arena. The name of that first book was, and is, Streetwise Investing In Rental Housing. It is one of my most prized accomplishments of my lifetime. Thank you everyone for buying it and liking it. I do, humbly, appreciate it. I really do. I want to take a second to also thank my publicist, Lee Jewell, for finding my book worthy to show to her colleges, convincing them to publish it, and producing a wonderful final product that has fulfilled many of my dreams and voids. Coincidentally, my publisher, Panoply Press, has asked me to re-write, update and such, for a later edition scheduled to be released in the spring of 2008. Streetwise Investing In Rental Housing is almost an autobiography of H. Roger Neal™ through landlording exploits. The theme of the real estate investing guide book is to show real estate investors how they can landlord with little money and no credit, and make enough money to become financially independent. It’s really funny how things worked out. Back in January 1990, I began writing for the first time. I had always wanted to write a book, but I never had the opportunity. There was always something else more important to do. It wasn’t until 1990 that I was willing to spare the time. After everyone was asleep in the house is when I began writing. Typically, I would write from 10:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M. This was the only time when everyone would leave me alone. They were asleep. Also, the telephone did not ring. So, no one outside the house bothered me while I wrote either. Naturally, I made the mistake of telling everyone close to me that I was writing a book about real estate investing. Most everyone I spoke with informed me that I was wasting my time and would never, in a million years, get published. Very few relatives and friends showed encouragement. One person stated that I was a nobody and would never get published for that reason alone. He said that you had to already be famous in order to get a book published. I told him that I had to get off the phone. He asked, “Why?” I stated that I took that as a challenge and he motivated me. I told him that I had to get off the phone to write more and get finished. Until that time, I never gave a thought as to whether it would get published, or not. I just wanted to write a book. I figured that if it were good enough, someone would publish it. Once I got the real estate investing guide book written, I went to the bookstore and settled into the real estate book section. I took a note pad to write publishers’ information, addresses and telephone numbers, down on it. I simply went home and asked if they were interested in a book like this. Five said they were, so I mailed them out. I had a contract offer in two weeks from Panoply Press, and the rest is history. The real estate technique involves finding 2-unit rental buildings because the theory is to have low cost apartment buildings with 2 rents with one roof. In other words, I would collect 2 rents, but only have 1 mortgage payment. On the other hand, a single rental house would yield only 1 monthly rent and I’d make 1 monthly mortgage payment. The bottom line is that I’d make more money from cash flow. Also, I advise how to manage and repair your rental properties for optimizing your success. I address all facets of ownership and management with all of the pitfalls and advantages associated with landlording. It is a very comprehensive real estate investing guide book. It will even outline objectives and goals that you should set for yourself.
