Webinar There Is No Such Thing As the US Real Estate Market Date & Time Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time Webinar Abstract The media talk about the US real estate market as if it was some uniform entity. Stock markets go up and go down on the slightest hint of a change in the monthly numbers, even when they are predictably seasonal. This relatively short webinar will show the different behaviors of the recent real estate markets in Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cape Coral (FL), Beaumont (TX) and Buffalo (NY). The take away message is to study your local market behavior and act accordingly. It is dangerous to make investment decisions based on national reports.

Webinar The Velocity of Money for Different Investment Strategies A Key Factor for How and How Fast You Build Wealth Date & Time Monday, August 31, 2009 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time Webinar Abstract How fast are you building wealth? You can make decisions that can quadruple the rate at which you build wealth and you are making those decisions right now. As described in our book "We Buy Houses, Sometimes!", the amount of money made by an investor on a given property is usually greater as the investor holds the property longer. In addition, the longer term hold is usually a more passive investment that requires less hours of work to maintain. More money and less work are two compelling reasons for Buy-Rent-Hold. However, when you look at how much money you make per year, the rate of generating profit is higher for the shorter term real estate investment strategies. In this webinar, Marc Halpern will stimulate your thought about what you prefer, more money over the long term with less effort or faster wealth building with more effort.

Webinar Lease-Option Profit Date & Time Wednesday, April 28, 2009 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time Webinar Abstract Buying a house with the intent of selling it using lease-option is a great investment strategy in a seller's market, a good strategy in a balanced market, can result in a loss in a strong buyer's market but can be profitable near the end of a mild buyer's market. Can lease-option be a good investment strategy when the lending crisis is expected to end within 2 years? What type of houses make good lease-option candidates? When inflation starts running wild in a few years, how will that affect lease-option? Marc Halpern will present thought-processes that should be considered when deciding whether to use lease-option as an investment strategy in the next two years and in future as the market cycle transitions through various stages..

Webinar An Easy, Free & Practical Mortgage Accelerator to Build Wealth Date & Time Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time Webinar Abstract Interested in saving $100,000 in interest from the payments on one rental property? This can be done with the simplest mortgage accelerator program and the program is free. In fact there are two ways to do this and the full detail will be described for both methods in this webinar on mortgage acceleration. We will explain both the underlying reasoning and the simple procedure for executing mortgage acceleration without having to buy some $3,500 software package that some are hyping and selling. Mortgage acceleration works particularly well when your primary goal for using the Buy-Rent-Hold strategy is to build wealth for Cash Much Later and when you don't need the cash flow from a rental property to meet your Cash Now needs to cover daily expenses, such as when you have money for food from a day job or your other investments. This webinar will show how your cash flow and/or equity from a single rental property can be leveraged to cut the term of the loan more or less in half and save huge amounts of money. An additional benefit of using the free mortgage accelerator is that it provides flexibility to change your mortgage acceleration program as your needs for cash flow and equity leverage may change, either up or down, during the term of the Buy-Rent-Hold. We will explain that there are two additional tradeoffs when accelerating a mortgage that are often swept under the carpet by sellers of mortgage acceleration software. We are upfront about the positive and the negative.. First, when you pay less interest, you have less tax deductions. However, when we have the choice of paying more interest and having more deductions or paying less interest and having less deductions, we would rather go for the lower expenses if all else is equal, since the deduction is a fraction of the expense. Secondly, the $100,000 or so in saved interest is money that is saved down the road. So there is a time-value to money that must be weighed when deciding to accelerate a mortgage. If you have not heard of mortgage acceleration or if you heard about it and it was presented as some mystical complicated program, you should really listen to find out how simple it really is and when, how and why it makes sense to accelerate your mortgage.

Webinar Affordability Calculator Date & Time Monday January 12, 2009 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time Webinar Abstract The largest single group of house buyers in your target market is the pool of people that both work in and already live in the county in which your house is located. In many US counties, very roughly half of the people that work in the county, live in that county, though the numbers range from about 40% to about 80% in most areas. In this webinar, we will show you how to calculate the % of the population in YOUR county that can afford YOUR house. We will then show how this affects decision making to enhance your profit as a real estate investor. We will illustrate how one can apply this affordability calculation to a specific house in your county using examples from counties in Southern New Jersey, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Spokane and Minneapolis. For example, we will show that choosing to invest in a 3 bedroom house in Cherry Hill Township in Camden County New Jersey versus a 4+ bedroom house in that same township, increases the pool of buyers by about 50%. This is important to know, especially in a buyer's market in which every month of holding cost due to lack of buyers can cost a thousand or several thousands of real dollars of your profit.. We will show you how to customize this affordability calculation to the conditions of your specific market. As we describe in our book "We Buy Houses, Sometimes! Own Your Life through Real Estate Investing," guidelines for making decisions for real estate investing should be flexible and customizable since every location has different underlying fundamentals, these fundamentals change with time and each individual has different personal goals, skill set and comfort zone. This affordability calculation for a given county, neighborhood or specific house can be easily performed based on common sense, the price of your house (or median price in that area) and data that are freely available from the US Census Bureau. The more you understand about the factors that affect your profitability as a real estate investor, the more successful you will be at investing. Webinar Speaker The webinar will be led by Marc Halpern of Own Your Life, a leading expert in real estate market analysis and choosing real estate investment strategy.
Webinar Subdivision Market Analysis in a Buyer's Market
Date & Time December 13, 2008 at 9:00 pm Eastern Time Webinar Abstract The amount of profit you make from a single family home investment property depends on several factors including the fundamentals of the specific house you buy, the investment strategy you choose for the house and the price trends in that neighborhood. As the term of the investment is shorter, the price trend in the neighborhood is more crucial. This is especially true in a buyer's market. For example, if you are doing a Buy-Fix-Sell, the profit impact of your investment decisions (e.g., Maximum Allowable Offer) are significantly affected by understanding the reality of whether prices are dropping or stable at the moment of purchase. In the Delaware Valley in 2008, some neighborhood prices are dropping while others are stable. The difference for a Buy-Fix-Sell can easily be 25-50% of the total profit. In a Lease-Option, understanding the price trend can mean the difference between a profit and a loss. This webinar will show price trend analysis for different subdivisions in the same township with different price trends in 2008 and will show how this affects your investment decisions and profit. The webinar will be led by Marc Halpern of Own Your Life, a leading expert in subdivision analysis and choosing investment strategy..
