Get Real REI - 1st Annual Christmas Show

This week's talk about real estate is taking a little bit of a turn. Instead of how to make money in real estate we are going to focus on how to give some of it back. No matter what your religious beliefs we have always felt that at 10% of our income needs to go back to help others. What a better way to do that than to help others realize their real estate dreams.

We have two great charities that provide housing here in the US and around the world. Enjoy the show and feel to give however you feel it an help.

Until next year (No show the week of New Year's)... Get Real

Frank McKinney - Caring House Project Foundation

What a great organization that this amazing real estate investor has created. The Caring House Project Foundation (CHPF) has developed into an organization that consistently provides housing and living needs for some of the world's poorest people. Visit their web site at http://www.frank-mckinney.com for all of the information.

Frank has created a miriad of opportunities to give from building and orphanage for $125,000 or buying a chicken for a village at $8.14. The great thing about this charity is they don't just build houses and leave they help people develop their future through farming and providing the systems for a sustainable food and water supply.

Chris Knopik - Warrick Dunn Foundation

Warrick Dunn, running back for the Atlanta Falcons, tragically lost his mother, a police officer, in the line of duty. Warrick's mother dreamed about providing a home for Warrick in his siblings that they could call their own. Unfortunately her dream was never realized for their family. This fueled Warrick's passion and out of tragedy came triumph.

The foundation doesn't only provide a great service to single mothers to assist with a down payment and furnishings. They also prepare them for success in life. The foundation only accepts participants who have taken financial responsibility classes showing their proficiency in managing money and life. This increases the rate of success once in their first home. To learn how to participate in this charity visit http://www.warrickdunnfoundation.org

Pete Youngs

Many listeners have been interested in doing their own rehab projects or have concerns about managing other people on a project. Pete Youngs joined us for this special show to explain just how he gets the best prices from contractors. Just importantly how to get a contractor to give you an estimate at all.

Pete discussed topics including;

  • How to get contractor discounts at building supply stores
  • Get all of the estimates you can handle to find the best price and service
  • Tips for inspecting properties quickly
  • How to estimate material quantities for a job.
  • Many tips and techniques for do it yourselfers to save money and time on the job!
  • Where to spend money on the job.

This was a great conversation with a great guy. Because of Pete's experience in rehabbing everything from single family homes to the housing for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta he has a ton of knowledge and a really well defined system for getting the job done quickly and for less money.

If you would like more information about Pete's process visit http://www.getrealrei.com/peteyoungs.html he provided us with everything he has to offer including a contest to win free tickets to his spring conference.

Get Real - Foreclosures with Finesse

Foreclosures with Finesse

Mitch Young, real estate investor and foreclosure specialist joined us to talk about cashing in on the hot foreclosure market. Before you click through and move on to the next show thinking you have heard all about foreclosures you might want to re-think that. Mitch works with distressed homeowners in pre-foreclosure. Not only does Mitch tell us how he finds these people but also how to TALK to them. Almost every real estate investing market has competition. Wouldn't it be nice to learn how to edge out your competition and be the only one working on the really good deals. At the end Mitch even walked us through a conversation so you will be prepared when it is time to talk.
