I'm going to give you the *basic* steps in my $0 Down Real Estate Investing Program. I outline the program in *detail* in my 324 page e-book. For details about the book. http://www.realrealestateexperts.com and much, much more! I personally put together four more real estate deals last week... not to mention the deals that I helped my coaching clients put together. This business gets addictive when you get the system set up. It is a lot of fun seeing deals come together with very little effort. Setting it up in the first place is where the effort comes in. After it's set up, it is fairly easy to maintain. I do most of my work on the phone. It doesn't take a lot of my time. THE METHOD First I set up the ads that attract the Sellers and the Investors. You are looking for two types of Sellers. The ads in the book are designed to get them to call you and ask for your help. Here are the types of sellers that you are looking for...TYPE ONE - Property owners who will sell to you at 15-30% below market value. TYPE TWO - Property owners who will sell you property subject to the existing loans or with terms. You must get either *price* or *terms* to get a good deal. There are several ways...more

OK, you say, I've decided to start my business. I have my idea, my identity package, my licensing and zoning done. Now I need to set up my office. Your first step is to decide whether to convert a room into an office or a space/area in your home to office space. If your space is limited you might want to get the type of desk that looks like an armoire so you can close it up at the end of the day. Or use a folding table that can be put away at the end of the business day. Or you can set up a mini-office in the corner of a room and put up a screen to hide this area at the end of the work day. In addition, depending on the type of business you are running, you need to think of files you will need and how you will house those files. For some businesses a small letter file will suffice, which you can cover with a table cloth at the end of the day or you could use an end table with space for files, or you can purchase crates for files and stack those in a corner or closet. Most businesses today need a computer, along with a printer, fax, and/or scanner. Again, if you use the armoire type of desk they use have space for most of this equipment, and you can close it at the end of the day....more
