For your critique,
My fastlane plan consists of a two pronged attack.
E book.
This has been on the drawing board for a while. I tried to launch it in one fashion last year but it did not have enough mass appeal so I scrapped the implementation but I knew it was a good idea.
After reading FHWW I saw how my idea could be implemented. I tested the market and found it was not only feasible but could be a golden opportunity if marketed correctly. The ebook is a launch pad for guys who are so stuck in the ratrace they can't even comprehend that there is another way. It's designed to create a great paradigm shift in thinking and has a lot of controversy and shock to create interest. I will reveal it shortly. (warning: it is adult in nature and may be offensive to some.) Other's may even think I am crazy Because of the subject matter. But it is designed to create shock and awe to gain attention.
Realestate
I am currently looking at REOs and offering banks their asking price if they alllow 6% concession to closing and prepaids. This will put all my money into equity. The houses I look at are 20% to 30% below market value. I do this by looking at comps in the retail market. My current bid is a house that just listed
3/2/1 block house $85000
Houses are selling $105,000 on average (this needs to be updated. My first house I presented here two months ago is in the same neighborhood.)
I am offering 80,0000 if they give me 6% towards closing and prepaids. The agent hasn't even had a chance to clean up after the people left and the house needs a lot of cleaning and cosmetics but seems stucturally sound. So I'm asking for 5000 off the asking in exchange for cleaning it up myself.
House is in a great neighboorhood of 150,000 to 200,000 homes. This particular house is older than some of the current models around it. It's exactly what i want in a home except it has no in ground pool. I have one of those big seasonal pools that i can use in my closet. My yard isn't big enough for it.
Future plans are to partner up with someone and buy real estate and buy smaller multi units and SFRs on my own.
The payments on this house will be $100 more than my current rent.
I will leverage the equity on my personal residence to buy the next property.
exit strategy from this home is lease option or rental if the numbers work but I intend on being in this home for some time. at least three to five years. and its anyones guess where the market will be by then.
Anyway by the end of the year I intend to have the ebook in full swing and be looking for investment properties. I'm not sur ehow I am going to use the ebook money yet because I do not understand all the tax laws associated with this type of business.
JB enterprises LLC will be the name of the e book company.
Now I have to go to Diane K to figure out this trust sandwich thing for my realestate ventures.
That's all I got at this point.
