Mar 18 Real Estate Investing - Removing and Managing Risk

Ready to Jump Start Your Real Estate Investing Career?

Over the years, I’ve heard from countless entrepreneurial-types who are interested in real estate investing, some even who are bursting at the seams to get started. But, there have always been questions holding them back:

Isn’t real estate investing really risky?

How do you get started?

How do you know how much to invest and where?

In my fifteen years in the real estate investing and as a real estate attorney I have seen it all -- both the successes and the failures. That’s why I decided to write a book about getting started in real estate investing. It doesn’t have to be this risky -- or this hard. Instead, you simply need the tools and guidance to start smart and avoid common mistakes.

About the Book

I am thrilled to announce the publication of A Solid Foundation: The Essential Guide to Real Estate Investing for Beginners. This book (available both electronically and in soft-copy) is a simple, easy-to-follow guide that distills all of my best real estate investing advice for beginners. It gives those interested in building wealth through real estate the necessary information to build their confidence and capability on their journey to financial success through real estate. This book is small but mighty! It won’t take too long to read, but it covers strategy, budget, securing financing, protecting your assets, assembling your team, and so much more! Truly, this book offers you a launch pad to get your real estate investing career off to a great start.

This book is an excellent read! It explains what & who you need for successful real estate investing as well as why you need it. It is packed with information - great specifics and scenarios, worksheets and links to investing resources. It made me think about and gave me insight into strategy and the market that I didn’t take into account. I highly recommend!

Level Up with the Online Course

If you are someone who likes a little more guidance, I have created a one-hour companion course to go with the book. This course, How to Not Lose Your Money, is provided virtually so that you can follow along at your own pace. The course cost, $79, includes a digital copy of the book, access to the online course, worksheets, and exclusive offers that I don’t provide anywhere else.

The How to Not Lose Your Money: Real Estate Wealth Building for Beginners course is a great way to get started in real estate investing and minimize the risks that come from starting without support. In the course, I cover:

Your real estate investment options and choosing a wealth-building strategy
Developing your budget and profit formula
Common mistakes that new investors make that break the budget
How to protect your personal assets
Knowing your paperwork power play (what documents do you need to have ready-to-go to protect your profits)
Building a team of professionals and learning how to captain your crew!
