Real Estate Basics: Real Estate Investing Secrets to Building a Super Buyer’s List

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:11:08 -0500

This series of articles on the basics of real estate investing discusses what an investor needs to know in order to take advantage of the current real estate market and build a profitable real estate investing business. To some, real estate investing may seem somewhat complicated, but it’s actually easier than one might think. This doesn’t mean you can just read a book or go to a seminar or two and gain all the knowledge you need to safely invest, but it does mean that with some effort, you can get the training you need to start investing. Rich Dad Education provides numerous courses (online and live) covering the basics of real estate investing. If you couple those courses with a personal real estate coach and a Mentor, you can gain the knowledge you need to start investing in record time.

Nothing will give a real estate investor more confidence than having a super buyer’s list. It helps to take away the number one fear that investors have—the fear of not being able to sell a property that they buy. This is especially worrisome for many investors in the current buyer’s market where it is more difficult to sell a property; however, with a good buyer’s list the property can easily sell.

Why the Bank Doesn’t Want Your Savings

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:07:31 -0500

Rich Dad always said, “There are two sides to every table.” In order to understand this financial crisis, you have to understand your banker’s point of view.

In the first installment of his series, “Why This Crisis Doesn’t Make Sense to Normal People”, Robert Kiyosaki explains why your banker doesn’t want your savings – he wants your debt – and tells you why knowing this simple truth is essential to not only survive but also thrive.

"For people who believe in the old rules of going to school, getting a job, working hard, living below your means, saving money, buying a house, and investing in a government approved retirement plan, this brave new world of money can be very confusing. This is why the 8 New Rules of Money, detailed in Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money (COR), are essential for financial survival as well as financial success."

The US Edges Closer to Bankruptcy – Are You Prepared to Prosper?‏

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:38:29 -0500

The rich countries of the world – including the US – are edging closer to bankruptcy. If one falls, the world’s economy will fall with them, and millions will be wiped out.

Are you prepared to prosper even as the world economy crumbles?

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki talks about the precarious state of the global economy–and how you can survive and thrive.

"The world is in a precarious situation. I’m afraid the rich countries of the world will soon be the poor countries of the world, and when that happens, the world will go bankrupt... In the near future, only the strong will survive and thrive due to less competition. Unfortunately, this will mean more suffering for the weak or naïve."

The Art of Creative Financing: Using the Seller as a Financing Source

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:35:44 -0500

Many think creative financing involves complex, difficult strategies; however, it simply means finding an alternate way to solve financial problems. When faced with a challenge to finance a property, always use a simple solution.

In a previous article in this series, we discussed the importance of putting together an easy-to-understand loan-request package. With this package, you may get the best (and cheapest) financing available, whether your source is a traditional lender, like a bank, or a private lender.

There are situations, however, in which traditional financing is not available (or not practical), and an investor has to be very creative just to get the deal done. In this series of articles on creative financing, we will discuss numerous methods and techniques to get a property financed. The more methods you understand, the easier it will be to find solutions to sellers’ problems

Think the Financial Crisis is History? Think Again

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:29:26 -0500

The USA Today claims the financial crisis is history. But Robert Kiyosaki points out in his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin that those who believe this will be financially wiped out.

Why?

The crisis isn’t history. It’s shaping up to be the biggest crisis in history.

And the actions you take now will shape your financial future for years to come. Find out how to survive and thrive.

"If you want to believe the crisis is history, go ahead and drift off into dreamland. Personally, I’d rather face the facts, look at the real numbers, and prepare for the biggest financial crisis and wealth transfer in the history of the world.

Where do I Start When I’m Broke?

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:07:34 -0500

If you have to develop ways to invest in real estate without using your own money, you will soon master techniques that allow you to buy in any market, under any conditions. Along the way, you will also develop numerous sources of funding and not be short of money for your real estate deals. In addition, you will always be glad you learned to invest in real estate without using your own money.

Probably the single-most asked question by new real estate investors is, “How do I start investing when I don’t have money or good credit?” There are many answers to that question and we will address different methods for investing in real estate with little or no money in this series of articles.

What every new investor needs to realize is that you don’t need excellent credit and a surplus of cash to get started in real estate investing. In addition, you don’t need to own a property to profit from it; you only need to control it to harness its money-producing potential.

The Greeks are Taking It to the Streets

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:03:15 -0500

An epic international financial crisis is looming as Greece desperately tries to cut its deficits by cutting its payroll–or risk going bankrupt. There’s just one problem: the government employs 1 in 3 Grecians.

And those employees aren’t too happy about the proposed cuts. They’re taking it to the streets. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki breaks down what the Greek financial crisis means for you and your money.

"When the government of Greece proposed cutting wages and pensions for government workers, they hit the streets in protest…could this be America next year? What will happen when Americans finally realize that there’s no money in the Social Security Trust Fund and that Social Security is just one big Ponzi scheme?"

Is Gold Getting Ready to Crash?

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:07:28 -0500

Is Gold Getting Ready to Crash?
Noted economist, Nouriel Roubini, is predicting that the gold bubble is getting ready to pop. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki discusses Roubini’s prediction, the state of the gold market, and whether you can expect gold to keep rising or to come crashing down.

"A wise man once said, 'The worst reason to buy a stock is because the price is going up.' That goes for gold also. Gold hit a record high of $1,226.10 on December 3, 2009 and closed out the year at $1,096.35, up 24.8 percent for the year. While a 24.8 percent gain in one year is impressive, it isn’t a reason to buy gold – or anything else for that matter."

Is China Next?

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:59:55 -0500

What Would Happen to You if China’s Economy Collapsed?
In 2003, Richard Duncan’s groundbreaking book, The Dollar Crisis, exposed the inevitable fall of the dollar – even as the stock markets were roaring back to life. Today, much of what Duncan predicted is coming true.

Now, in his latest book, The Corruption of Capitalism, Duncan takes a hard look at the relationship between China and the US. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert gives you exclusive quotes from Duncan’s new book and explains what the fall of China will mean for you and your money.

"So is the crisis over? I don’t think so. We are, as Richard Duncan states, in the New Depression. This is why The 8 New Rules of Money are important. The rules of money have changed, and we need to change with them – or we’re toast."

2010: The Best of Times or the Worst?

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:08:37 -0500

Is the recession over? Are happy days really here again? Paraphrasing Dickens, my answer is,

“For people who are prepared, 2010 will be the best of times. For many, 2010 will be the worst of times.”

The following are a few of my predictions and reasons behind them…

Do You Want to be Successful in 2010?

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:12:48 -0500

Chances are you know that people who set goals – and write them down – are more successful than people who don’t. If you’re looking to make 2010 your best year yet, don’t miss Robert’s latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin. Robert discusses his goals for 2010, and the spiritual importance of setting your own goals.

"For over fifteen years, Kim and I have hiked the mountains near our home to set our goals for the New Year surrounded by Arizona’s natural beauty. This New Year was no different. We hiked for an hour, climbing the same hill we always climb, and spent some time discussing the past year, our wins, our losses, and what we were grateful for. Then we focused on our goals for 2010."

Are Your Prepared to Make 2010 The Best of Times?

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:16:45 -0500

As 2009 comes to a close, the recession is still raging. Many people are losing it all as the economic storm marches on. For some, this is the worst of times. But for others, this is the best of times.

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert shares how you can make 2010 your best year ever – even as others are wiped out.

"In 2009, the world faced an even bigger financial crisis than in 1989 – one that is still growing. For many people, the next few years will be the worst of times. For others, the next few years will be the opportunity of a lifetime."

Are You Prepared for the Coming Depression?

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:34:25 -0500

Are You Prepared for the Coming Depression?

History is full of winners and losers. During hard, economic times some do well, most are wiped out. If you want to win financially, you need to understand what you’re up against. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert talks about the two different types of depression, which we are likely to see – and how you can prepare to prosper.

Read Robert's latest post here "In Conspiracy of the Rich, I wrote about the eight new rules of money. People who understand and implement the new rules of money will do well as the two types of depressions grow. Those that are following the old rules of money, “Go to school, get a job, work hard, save money, buy a house, get out of debt, and invest for the long term in mutual funds,” will probably be slaughtered in the coming years."
