this Fantastic Educational

UPCOMING WORKSHOP EVENT (SEE BELOW)


TWO Full Days Sat. 2-18-23 and Sun. 2-19-23 - Corte Madera, CA

Andy Teasley is teac-hing a full weekend course on Yield based investing Live and in person in the San Francisco, CA Bay Area. We'll begin Saturday morning with basic instruction on using the HP10bii financial calculator.During this section you'll learn the 5 buttons on the calculator that will change the way you look at every transaction.

We’ll say it again: you don’t need zillions of dollars, or great credit, or to take on a full-time, highly taxed wholesaling or retailing “job”, to create big monthly cash flow.

Andy Teasley has done just that, using a combination of creative buying strategies, lower cost properties, notes, and a firm understanding of the math of constructing deals, for many years—and now he’s bringing that vast, valuable experience to us (well, a VERY SMALL Group of us, anyway), in a live, 2-day, in-person workshop class.

This will be a Lively Hands On Class with Students Attending of all Experience Levels.

And NO, you don’t have to be an experienced real estate investor to use this strategy, because Andy’s got 2 days to break it down into bite-sized, understandable, actionable chunks for you.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll know when you leave:

•How to “begin with the end in mind” by using a simple financial calculator figure out payments, interest rates, yields, terms, and the best “numbers” for any deal

•How to buy your properties subject to the existing loan, or on lease/options, or using wrap mortgages, so that you put little to no money down up front

•How you can outbid every one of your competitors on every property, and even OVERPAY and still get lots of cash flow

•How notes work, and how you’ll use them to make your deals ‘hands-off’, and how you can use them to get any money you DID put down back right away

•How to use the “Ten for Twelve” technique to get a 35% rate of return (none of your so-called competitors know about this)

•How to do all of this i & n your tax-free retirement, education, or health-care plan

•The basics of finding and rehabbing property and mobile homes to create KILLER Returns

This will be a Lively Hands On Class with Students Attending of all Experience Levels.
You will Learn Powerful Negotiating Techniques and how to close ANY deal and KNOW its yield

Because of the Interactive Nature of this Workshop, Class Size will be limited.
Grab your Seat NOW before they are Gone and also take advantage of the
EARLY BIRD Discounted Tuition and PRE-Register!

Class Size is VERY limited so Don't Wait REGISTER TODAY

graphThe Campbell Method: A Proven Timing System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits!

Dear Real Estate Investor:

Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 30+year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance …
then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well.

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look.

janHello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk.

I also have my web Site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money
in real estate,
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

janHello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk.

I also have my web Site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money
in real estate,
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

Topic:
CREATIVE DEAL STRUCTURING

IN ACTION

With BILL COOK

In almost All parts of the Country we are seeing FRENZIED Real Estate markets where there is a LOT of Money to be made AND also LOST. As our EUPHORIC Real Estate Markets continue to chug along, more and more Buyers and Investors continue to pay seemingly never ending HIGHER and HIGHER prices, often paying ALL CASH. While that can be one acquisition strategy, it also is one of the RISKIEST ways to acquire property.

Many believe creative deal structuring is about complicated, impossible-to-understand contracts.

This couldn’t be more wrong.

Dealmaking is about caring, asking questions, listening, being curious, asking more questions, T-barring, letting your imagination run free, asking more questions, and finally,reaching an accord that works for all parties involved.

During this CONTENT DRIVEN Webinar and Bill Cook’s discussion,
you'll learn why advanced creative deal structuring is simple, but not easy.

Here are some of the question’s Bill will answer:

  • What is creative deal structuring?
  • Is creative financing part of creative deal structuring?
  • What are examples of creative deal structures in action?
  • How do you get a seller to agree to a creatively constructed deal?
  • Can multiple deal structuring tools be used to make a single deal work?
  • What is the best way to learn how to structure deals my competition doesn’t know how to structure?

Do Not Miss this VERY Valuable Discussion and Join us Tuesday Evening 8-24-2021 @ 7 PM PST (10 Pm EST)

About Bill & Kim Cook:

Bill and Kim are a husband and wife real estate investing team. Bill creatively constructed his first deal in 1990 in Shreveport, Louisiana. He and Kim have been teaching other investors do the same since 1997. They became full-time real estate investors in 1998.

Their investment portfolio consists of single-family rental homes, mobile homes, a small mobile home park, plus notes, options, and stocks.

They built their business square on the back of knocking on homeowners’ doors. Why? Because it’s the fastest, cheapest and most effective way to get face-to-face with homeowners and make written offers.

When door knocking, Bill makes between 10 and 15 written offers a day, 8 out of 10 sellers invite him in, and he finds 1 to 3 shadow sellers per day. Question: Does your marketing technique get you to the seller’s kitchen table 80% of the time?

Their core belief is that real estate investing is not about buying, selling or renting houses. It’s about helping people solve their real estate problems.

Around 1997, Bill discovered three great real estate investing teachers: Jack Miller, Pete Fortunato and Dyches Boddiford. From that day to this, he and Kim regularly attend Pete’s and Dyches’ classes. (NOTE: Jack passed away in 2009 after a legendary career.)

On January 1, 2001, Bill and Kim founded North Georgia REIA in Cartersville, Georgia. Over the next 14 years, their group grew to 2,400 members. It was one of the largest, most successful REIAs in the country.

On January 1, 2002, Bill and Kim began writing a syndicated real estate investing newspaper column that was published weekly. Their column ran for 13 years.

In 2002, Bill and Kim began publishing The Equity. It was a monthly real estate investing newsletter that grew into a 28-page monthly newspaper.

On August 30, 2018, they sold their 34-acre horse ranch in Adairsville, Georgia and moved into their motorhome. They now are full-time RVers. They travel the country seeking adventure and the enjoyment of life. As they travel, Bill teaches creative deal structuring techniques at REIAs (Real Estate Investor Associations).

Four times a year, Bill and Kim offer the following multi-day seminars:

  • The Ultimate Creative Deal Structuring Workshop: This is a three-day seminar Bill Cook and Vena Jones-Cox teach each spring. It’s designed for Starters and Estate Builders (beginner and intermediate investors). Investors learn how to creatively structure deals such as Subject-to Deals, Master Leases with Options, Pure Options, Seller-carryback Notes, Creative Third-party Notes. Between the two, Bill and Vena have over 60 years of creative deal structuring experience.
  • The Power of Pure Options: This is a two-day seminar taught each summer by Bill and Kim. A Pure Option is a deal-structuring tool understood by few investors and used by even less. Want to learn how to creatively structure win-win deals that your competition can’t even conceive? Then this seminar is for you.
  • What Box? (the seminar): This is one of the most advanced creative deal structuring seminars taught in the country. Only experienced dealmakers should attend this course. Bill Cook and Pete Fortunato teach this course each fall. It’s creative deal structuring at the highest level. Every deal structuring tool comes into play during this seminar.
  • I AM: This is a two-day seminar Bill teaches each winter. Bill discusses the mindset capitalist need to succeed in business and life. The information shared is based on Bill’s fifty years of business experience.

Strategies & How to Adapt in a
Changing Election Year Market!

Change Happens!
Economic, Political, Social and Personal

Buckle UP - Get Ready!

Spend an Evening Listening & Learning from Legendary Master Dealmaker John Schaub

* Acquiring property strategically and profitably in any market
* Finding, recognizing and seizing opportunities that most investors miss
* Structuring to distribute cash flow
* Developing and maintaining million dollar relationships
* Ownership that provides protection, lowers your profile and reduces your risk of loss
* Retirement investment strategies to increase cash flow when you need it 

About John Schaub
John Schaub has prospered during three recessions, four tax law changes and interest rates ranging from 6-16% in his 35 years as a real estate investor. His 2005 best-selling book, Building Wealth One House at a Time, assisted more than 100,000 real estate enthusiasts on their way to successful invest­ing. His 2007 book, Building Wealth in a Changing Real Estate Market, is available online and in bookstores.

John recommends buying better, well-located houses rather than cheaper houses and other management-intensive properties. Better houses are more profitable and far less trouble. He advocates paying off debt, owning properties free and clear, and renting only to long term, high quality tenants.

John buys, sells and manages his own properties, and enjoys providing quality housing at fair prices for working families in his community. He teaches one Building Wealth One House at a Time seminar each year where students learn how to identify the best investment property in their town, how to buy it at below-market prices, and how to negotiate terms that guarantee a profit.

John also invests his time helping those who cannot afford to buy a home through conventional sources through his work with Habitat for Humanity and the Fuller Center for Housing. John has served for more than 20 years on the board of Sarasota Habitat, 7 years on Habitat's International Board and currently serves as the chair of the  board of the Fuller Center for Housing.

John, a Florida native, is a proud graduate of the University of Florida, where he earned his B.A. from the College of Business Administration in 1970. He is an accomplished boat captain (power and sail), fisherman, skier (snow and water) and an instrument-rated pilot. John loves to travel, especially with his wife Valerie and their young adult children.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This Evenings Meeting will be held in the upstairs TERRACE room within the Hotel

  Part 1  
       
 

 Ways to Tell If a Home
Has Good Bones

                                            

A home with “good bones” is considered to be a good home with the potential to be a great home. It typically describes a neglected home or  fixer-upper or some sort of deferred upkeep  house (think: diamond in the rough) that features quality, well-made construction – hence the good bones meaning.

We often see potential home owners and investor entering the rehab arena take on projects that can prove time consuming and very costly. It can be hard to know whether a property is a potential “money pit” or a true diamond in the rough. This month we will cover some of the go too features to look for when scouting out properties.

**************************************

Part 2   
     
  There is Little Cash Flow with Rentals in CA ...

that can be utilized to create cash flow in virtually any market.

Speaker:
Author of Timing the Real Estate Market,
Statistician, & Investor;

Robert Campbell

Topic:
2020 Housing Forecast
:
What Will Happen & Why

Program Director's Note:
"Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insights at this months meeting…”

graphThe Campbell Method: A Proven Timing System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 

Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 29-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

janHello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web Site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money
in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

PART 2

Understanding California’s New
Statewide Rent and Eviction Control Law

If you are a Landlord in the "Golden State" you've no doubt heard that how you deal with your tenants and rentals has come under attack. Last year, California voters decisively rejected a statewide ballot initiative that would have expanded rent control statewide, however with AB 1482 Sacramento has gone against the will of the people and feels it knows best. California now joins Oregon as the only places that CAP Rent increases Statewide. This Law takes effect Jan. 1st, 2020 and you need to be aware of its implications.

This Discussion will cover:

  • Who is covered by the new law?

  • What are the limits on rent increases under the new law?

  • What are the just causes for eviction under the new law?

  • What are some of the Best practices for landlords

  • Is the New Law Retroactive? (Yes you will be surprised)

Robert Campbell

Topic:
2019 Housing Forecast
: What Will Happen & Why

Program Director's Note:
"Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…”

***********************************************

 

graphThe Campbell Method: A Proven Timing System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 26-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

janHello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

in a Transitioning Marketplace

Robert Campbell & Michael Morrongiello
Teaching Together!

Interest Rates have Risen...

Sales are Cooling...

More Inventory has crept on to the Market giving Buyers more Choices

The Urgency to Buy has waned

Realtors are predicting a Flat 2019 Market- BUT should you believe them?

It’s almost impossible to get through the week without being exposed to at least some real estate news. Open the Newspaper and you’ll find an article on the housing market. Turn on the TV and you’ll be greeted with a news report about housing prices moving up, stalling or going down. A lot of these opinionated stories are written by beat writers who have very limited Real Estate or Real Estate Investment experience.

All this "noise" can also be very confusing, especially if you’ve been thinking about making a move or an investment - now or sometime in the future. If you are speculating or in the property BUY/SELL Business it becomes even more crucial to understand developing trends.

Would you like to know how to predict the peaks and valleys of the California real estate markets? Or how about knowing the best times to buy and sell real estate in 14 other major U.S. cities?

Speaker: Joe Lahore, Home Path Communities, Inc.

About our Speaker:

joeJoe began investing in 2002 and since then he has been involved in multiple transactions fixing, flipping single family and multi-unit deals implementing various acquisition strategies and management. During the "Great Recession" meltdown, he decided to stop flipping houses and to begin building monthly cash flow by owning and operating mobile home parks. Things were not easy at first, as his first mobile home park deal was a major REO “Turn Around” property, a 141 space park purchased at the end of 2008. After lots of lessons learned…including a potential property rezoning notice from the City was incredible, but he and his partner were able to navigate through turbulent waters safely to shore.

The second MH park community was a seller direct deal, acquired December of 2012 a “Turn Key” property that showed a profit immediately. After streamlining the operations the third MHP community came along, also a seller direct deal and promised a great upside potential.  It was acquired on August, 2015. The fourth deal was seller financed with strategic asset allocation tax strategies and currently runs at 94% occupied. This property is a bit of a “Hybrid” as it has 65 mobile homes, 38 RV Spaces, four single family houses, two duplexes and one commercial building.

Last November of 2017 the first three properties sold for a premium and Joe was able to Tax Deferred 1031 exchange into other MHP’s and apartment buildings FREE and CLEAR of any DEBT giving him a true sense of Financial Freedom and passive income.

Joe is the founder of The OC Investment Club - FIBI with almost 7000 members. He also loves to mountain bike and to play soccer as much as possible.

dealPart 2:

When is a Real Estate deal truly a deal?

We often spend time and money prospecting and marketing for profitable real estate opportunities
but too often the so called “deals” are really not any sort of deal at all.

whether a potential property transaction truly makes sense and for whom.

We will discuss;

• The steps to landing your first deal or the first of many…
• Getting your marketing funnel filled
• What information you must gather for proper filtering
• Fundamental due diligence that must occur on every lead
• Understanding The different perspectives when one is looking at a potential “Deal” from that of a buyer, seller, financier, etc.
• As in a poker game; Know when to “Hold em or Fold em…”

Program Director's Note:
"Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…”

***********************************************

 

graphThe Campbell Method: A Proven Timing System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 26-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

janHello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

Brains, Data, & Direct Marketing
Leverage Behavior Science and Public Data to Grow in a Flat Real Estate Market

It's no secret that Public Records are a gold mine of leads and market intelligence for real estate professionals, especially when targeting a defined local market, often referred to as a FARM (focused real estate market).

What's not obvious are the strategies and techniques for mining public data to get at that gold. That’s where a little brain science can help you craft a winning direct marketing strategy to grow your business.

Join PropertyRadar CMO David LaPlante as he shares insights, stories, and strategies cultivated from managing over $100 million in client marketing spend to grow business with data-smart targeting and irrational marketing appeal.

In this presentation, David will cover:

  • Understanding brains, behavior, and branding to resonate within your market. You don’t need a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner to use these simple brain science insights to elevate your brand strategy and advantage yourself in finding deals.
  • Where a determined personal brand strategy intersects with targeted public data and direct marketing effort.
  • Why a flat and increasingly competitive California real estate market will re-shape your FARM strategy for resilience and resonance.
  • The simple, yet successful data mining and direct marketing habits that lead to success.
  • The right technology to leverage so you can managing your market smarter, faster, and less expensive.

With ten years observing the actions and behaviors of tens of thousands of real estate investors, Realtors®, and small, local businesses, David’s uncovered the habits, strategies, and techniques of those winning deals and growing their business in competitive local markets.

Speaker: Author of Timing the Real Estate Market, Statistician, & Investor;

Robert Campbell

Topic:
2017 Housing Forecast
: What Will Happen & Why

Program Director's Note:
"Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…”

***********************************************

 

graphThe Campbell Method: A Proven Timing System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.



Suppose somebody handed you a 24-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

janHello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

WHY investing in Real Estate is still one of the Best Ways to Build Real Wealth

It’s a Presidential Election Year and no matter WHO gets elected
a lot of change will happen.

With Manipulated interest rates provided cheap credit, our Economy clicking along with almost no GDP Growth and the bumpy ride of a Stock market gyrating up and down; some are calling our current Economy a “Growth Recession”.

Despite what the Press may be writing; many financial experts feel the U.S. Economy is in very dangerous territory right now. Perhaps MORE dangerous than anything we’ve seen since the Great Depression.

  • The DOW and S &P may precipitously slide…
  • Banks and Bank Stocks Will Crash- Again; some are saying harder than in 2008 as It becomes near impossible for most clients to pay back insurmountable debt they are now accumulating and will owe.
  • Oil and Gold will be hit Hard – these two standard bearer’s commodities may be in for a free fall.
  • The Retirement Dreams of Millions of Americans will be shattered.

Yes Real Estate has bounced back over the last few years. However the FED’s near 0% interest rate policy has afforded many folks the ability to buy a home. This policy along with other government intervention has also artificially boosted the “value” of this asset class.

Every Bubble in history has a very distinct and similar pattern. There is BIG upward price movement that becomes unsustainable that’s followed by a correction and sometimes an historic crash.

If the Stock Market tanks, so does the Housing market and vice versa. No matter who you are, this is hugely impactful.

This month we will explore WHY investing in Real Estate correctly over time is still one of the Best ways to build long term Real Wealth. It’s a discussion you do not want to miss.

We will cover the only THREE (3) reasons you should own property right now and the (10) TEN reasons WHY investing in Real Estate over time is still one of the best ways to build long term real wealth. Join us Thursday evening May 19th, 2016.

BAWB Monthly Meeting - January 21st 2016

Is this still a GOOD Time or the the Right Time to Buy?

Is this still a GOOD Time or the the Right Time to Buy? Have we reached the TOP of this CRAZY frenzied Market as other so called experts are starting to say? OR Is the CA and SF Bay Area Real Estate Marketplaces and Prices poised to continue to climb further? Has stabilization of the Real Estate Marketplace now finally been achieved for the LONG TERM as many industry experts are preaching? How long will this so called Real Estate "run up recovery" run on for? How will FED policy towards Interest rates and the coming Presidential Election cycle affect us? What is looming over the Horizon? DO NOT MISS THIS MONTHS MEETING!

Start off the New Year Informed "listen and learn from our own industry expert"

janSpeaker: Author of Timing the Real Estate Market, Statistician, & Investor;

Robert Campbell

Topic:
2016 Housing Forecast

What Will Happen & Why

Program Director's Note:
"Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…”

***********************************************

graphThe Campbell Method: A Proven Timing
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits!

Dear Real Estate Investor:
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 24-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well.

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look.

Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk.

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate,
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

The Biggest Mistakes to Avoid
when Investing in Real Estate Today

aFear is a powerful emotion…

The Stock market has been quite volatile lately – Are you taking notice and have you had enough?

American investors who have trusted their Stockbrokers and Real Estate Brokers (there is a reason they are called “Broke ER”) have lost well over 8 trillion dollars in the stock and Real Estate markets- more than was lost in the depression. If you are one of the ones who are seeing your 401K turn into a far smaller 201K- pay attention b

Leaving your financial future to your employer or some inexperienced Real Estate Broker or Stockbroker is crazy. It's time to take control of your financial future and your tomorrow. During this period of so much continued economic uncertainty from an anemic economy that continues to sputter along, a dysfunctional congress and what some might call incompetent administration, you need to be responsible for creating your own future.

The Good News; You can still make a Fortune in Real Estate.
You don’t have to be a Guru or Wealthy to start or even have strong credit. However you DO need quality information, education, good contacts and some direction. This is a crazy Real Estate market where you need to know a bit more than “civilians”. There is a lot of poor misinformation, and sometimes stale advice being offered by many.a

Don’t Miss This Month’s Meeting – We will cover the 7+ Biggest Mistakes to Avoid.

It promises to be VERY informative.

See you Thursday September 17th, 2015 at our Regular BAWB meeting – where we’ve been meeting now for 15+ years!

About our Speakers:

dyDYCHES BODDIFORD

Dyches Boddiford grew up on a farm in rural South Georgia, 10 miles from the small town of Sylvania. Though he was not too interested in farming, he took every chance to learn about construction, wiring and plumbing. He had an interest in science from an early age that was recognized and encouraged by several teachers. After graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1973 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Physics and a Masters in Information & Computer Science, Dyches spent some time in Corporate America before buying his first investment property in 1980. By 1991, he began working full time in his real estate investments and in 1992 earned more than he had working for his old employer.

A past president of the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association (GaREIA), Dyches has been a national speaker on the topic of real estate investments and entity strategies for over 20 years. Dyches has remained a full-time real estate investor, and he feels that only by being active in real estate investing can he bring real world experience to his classes and materials.

peterPETER FORTUNATO

Peter is a libertarian and a apitalist. He believes that transactions which you can be proud of result from carefully conceived goals and plans followed by purposeful actions and scrupulous documentation. Upon graduating from high school in 1965, Peter went right into the real estate business. His motivation was his desire to be self-employed. Pete says “Everyone who knew me believed that I was unemployable. They were right. I still am!” Peter was excited about being free to build his business and his future. He attended seminars and read at every opportunity. He sought out and learned from many mentors and benefited from the example and counsel of his father who encouraged him and supported him from the beginning. Pete finished college with a clientele and an investment portfolio. By 1975 his investment income had eliminated his need for fees from clients to fund his lifestyle.

Peter continues to teach and to attend real estate and investment seminars and meetings regularly. He is respected for his clear and patient explanations of investment concepts and transactions.

He has been building, structuring, manipulating and managing investment transactions and portfolios for more than 45 years. Pete currently lives in Tampa, Florida.

GOT CONTRACT?

bAs of the New Year a number of Changes have taken place with the CAR- California Association of Realtors RPA- Residential Purchase Agreement and Disclosures.

The latest version of the CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a 10-page tangle of paragraphs and cross references. Come sort it out with the help of 40-year veteran real estate broker Cari Lynn Pace. Cari stresses that she did NOT design or have input on the new contract, but as a risk management and litigation advisor she can help us understand it. She will take us through the form's major changes on a powerpoint presentation.

cCari has to know the new form, as her own company Professional Publishing LLC, has offered a competing form for decades before this new one surfaced. Attorneys, agents, landlords, and investors can access individual forms at www.ProPubForms.com

cariCari's background as a speaker and trainer is impressive: She's an author of three real estate books, a past President of the Association of Realtors, Master Instructor with theProfessional Realty Institute, and accredited as an Instructor with the CA Department of Real Estate. She writes for the California Real Estate Law Newsletter and many other publications. Her real enjoyment, however, is as a real estate expert witness in courtroom trials. Cari roots out the bad apples who defraud their clients, and keeps notes. Her most popular book uncovers the top 100 reasons leading to lawsuits. She will bring autographed copies of her book "Don't Shoot Me…I'm Just the Real Estate Agent!" to the meeting.

SAFE SAILING....

STORM WARNING AHEAD:
What to do and Where YOU should be Investing your Money


Strategies to Navigate these Uncertain Times Ahead

Don't Miss this inaugural workshop Robert Campbell will be teaching in the SF Bay.

Coming Saturday 3-28-2015 to the South SF Conference Center.

A special FULL DAY workshop event that will feature Robert discussing the Data he regularly Views, Interprets, and Analyzes and HOW he has formulated his outlook for the future.

Includes a VERY Special Dynamic strategy / plan that will allow you to successfully navigate the economic storm that lies ahead.

A Letter from Robert Campbell:

Dear Fellow Investors:

These are dangerous and uncertain economic times – and astute Americans are slowly becoming aware that the U.S. economic system has changed. Something just isn't right – and it feels like we may be falling into something big, deep, and unstoppable.

What's the problem?

The U.S. national debt is now $18+ Trillion -- doubling in the last 6 years! – and it's going up by $1 trillion per year. Even worse, unfunded government promises for Social Security, Medicare, and Public Pensions now stand at $100-$200 trillion.

Folks, debts and unfunded promises that can't be paid – won't be paid. Step one is understanding what the problem is. The next step is to devise an intelligent strategy for addressing it.

We all went through the 2006-2008 financial collapse and know how badly it ended. The average American's net worth is down 30% since 2007 – even after a 3 year rebound in real estate prices and a monster bull market in stocks.

It's my view that the next financial downturn will likely be even more devastating than the last. Why? Because nothing has been fixed – and the amount of debt, and derivatives and leverage in the system has increased substantially. We are in the final stages of a broke society– a society that keeps kicking the can down the road to avoid the economic re-set that is looming and will surely come.

If you step back and take an objective look at the situation, you'll find that it's mathematically impossible to come up with an easy way out. Whether we inflate these obligations away - or default on them – either economic scenario can be devastating to your financial well- being if you are not invested for the right outcome. That's why it's critical that you have a plan-of-action to get it right.

What Should the Astute Investor Do?

Where should you be investing your money?

That's why I'm giving this seminar.

For a FULL DAY, I'm putting on this event that will show you how to survive financially from what's coming. You learn how to strategically move your money into the right Asset Classes at the right time – to make money instead of losing it when the U.S. economy and its markets break down again.

Here are a few of the things you'll learn at this workshop event:

    1. The current state of the U.S. housing markets – and why it may be poised for another 2006-2010 collapse.
    2. Why the economy has to experience another Great Depression before it can get better – and how to avoid becoming a victim.
    3. What the problem is – and the futility of worrying about it or trying to "fix" it.
    4. Why your vote – and the politicians you elect – won't save you – and why you should instead focus on saving yourself.
    5. Why the U.S. is currently like a car speeding 100 MPH heading toward a brick wall.
    6. A proven strategy to correctly prepare for what's happening, as it's happening – without any personal bias as to whether we'll experience

      Inflation, Deflation, Stagflation or even borderline Hyper-Inflation.
    7. The three laws of investment success – and why your future prosperity will revolve around being flexible, open-minded, and a willingness to do what the key asset markets are telling you to do. Learn HOW to Protect yourself from being battered before the BIG Storm hits.

PLUS a Special BONUS DISCUSSION on Creative Techniques by seasoned Author, Educator, Investor; Michael Morrongiello on How to create Cash Flow with expensive NorCal properties.

  • We are often told that SF Bay Area properties will not Cash Flow... or it's hard to make the make them cash flow

  • Learn a few techniques that will allow you to acquire properties here in California and create Cash Flow with low risk.

  • Why these strategies may be the perfect "Antidote" for these uncertain times looming ahead.

    a

Should you attend this seminar?

I'm well aware that there is a great temptation to do nothing and hope that "Maybe it won't be so bad – and maybe I can live with it." This will undoubtedly be the prevailing view of most people – that the crash will be "tolerable." But the question is whether you want to make a pre-emptive effort to create a life that is far better than tolerable – and possibly even improved – while the opportunity for doing so still exists.

ENROLL TODAY and learn how to protect yourself from being battered before the big storm hits.

I call this plan "The Best Investment Strategy I've Seen in 30 Years" – and in my mind it's the best possible plan you can execute relative to the risks going forward.

The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing 
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy 
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 23-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefeller's, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

Two Full Days of High Quality Real World Education

Whether you have significant assets or just starting, there will be practical strategies presented that you can use that will save you many times the cost of this conference!  

ARE YOU A TARGET?
Take this Test and See for Yourself!

  1. Are you in business?
  2. Do you manage rentals?
  3. Are you a Professional?
  4. Do you live in a nice house?
  5. Do you own any property?
  6. Do you drive a car?
  7. Do you have employees?
  8. Do you invest in the market?

If you answered YES to any of the above, you're a potential target of the Urban Terrorist of the 21st Century; the "contingent fee" lawyer who can tie up your assets for years in legal proceedings.

The Solution?

REDUCE TAXES!
ACHIEVE FINANCIAL PRIVACY!
PROTECT ASSETS!

AVOID PROBATE!
BECOME JUDGEMENT PROOF!

This will be a down-to-earth, nuts and bolts class on Land Trusts and Personal Property Trust.  No, they are not the be-all and end-all entity for asset protection as some teach.  However, they are valuable entities to use in your asset protection plan and to conduct your business affairs.  

We will even have a couple of special guests, including a Trust Attorney to answer questions you may have on the topic and a Title Company representative .  We will be covering in detail the legal and tax aspects of Land Trusts and other kinds of Trusts what they really do for you and what they do not provide.  This will be a reality check!  And we will also discuss how Land Trusts fit into an overall business and investment plan. 

Even if you have been using Trust and Land Trusts for years, this class will be of value since we will also discuss particular clauses that can strengthen your Trust but they should only be used by an informed investor.  And you will be an informed investor after this class. 

We will cover practical, everyday techniques you can use to help bulletproof your assets as well as advanced strategies for use when you are ready.  You will gain insights on methods others can use to separate you from your hard earned dollars and assets, then how to legally protect yourself. 

For Example, just a few of the topics we plan to cover in detail include -

  • Myriad of Uses of the Land Trust & Personal Property Trust
  • Liability issues
  • When a Trust can owe taxes -- Complex & Simple Trusts
  • Grantor & Non-Grantor trusts and why it makes a difference
  • Land Trusts and the Due-on-Sale clause
  • Deeds into Land Trusts
  • The importance of Beneficiary Agreements
  • Trustee and fiduciary issues
  • Title holding trusts for Lease-Options and Land Contracts
  • Trusts used in estate planning
  • and much more!

The Myths and Misconceptions of Real Estate Investing & Insurance.

  • I have a Policy - Am I Really Protected?
  • What do I need to know when investing in Real Estate and the specific type of Insurance Policy and coverage you might need?
  • Do I have enough coverage...Do I have the right coverage?
  • Coverage and Price-What's the difference?
  • Does my Insurance agent really understand Real Estate investing and how to properly protect me?

bc

Are you a Landlord with Rentals?, Are you in the Buy & Sell renovation business where people are working on your properties?, perhaps you own properties Titled in a Trust or some other entity type.

There is a TON of misconceptions about the various types of insurance coverage that exist in the marketplace for the Real Estate owner and investor. What covers dyou if an event happens on your property involving; fire, slip and falls, dog bite, on site injuries, wind or storm damage, earthquake, water damage, etc.

Don't find this information out AFTER the fact- be prepared and informed.

Plan on being with us this evening to clear up some of the mystery.

SPEAKER: George Romonsky
"The Insurance Guy"

aAbout our Speaker:

George has been in the Insurance Industry for over 7 years with a background as a real estate broker for over 15 years.

Having invested in real estate over 20 years ago doing fix and flips and buy and holds himself, George realized his properties, investments, and future was not fully protected through his current Farmers Agent when he decided to become an agent.

He realized becoming an Independent Insurance Broker was the best way to provide his clients a variety of products and coverage's through multiple companies. He made his mission the education of insurance to the Real Estate Investor.

fWith George's background as a real estate broker and prior real estate investor he brings a plethora of knowledge when it comes to your real estate investments and making sure that you have the right insurance coverage not just any coverage.

When it comes to insuring your investments, you want the competence and experience that most agents just don't have in regards to investment properties. George wants to make sure that the real estate investor has the knowledge of the products and services that are available to them in order for them to make informed Insurance decisions. When George isn't educating Investors or working in the office he enjoys getting outdoors wake boarding, fishing and spending time with his 19 year old son.

***********************************************

 


The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing 
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy 
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 21-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefellers, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market Book will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

Its a new day and age in the world of Real Estate Finance.

Proper and timely funding is the grease the "squeaky wheel" continues to need in order for properties to continue to be bought and sold and for any chance of a housing recovery to take hold.

With mortgage lending activities severely restricted and the availabiltiy of funds for both buyers and sellers limited- this months meeting involves a panel of several different lenders who offer different niche lending programs that cater to activities such as:

* Fixer Upper Loans - both from an institiutional lender standpoint and from a private money lending vantage point.

* First Time and current Home buyers FHA, VA, and Conventional financing programs.

Does Title seasoning of ownership matter?

What about the HVCC- Home Valuation Code of Condut appraisal rules?

What are the various down payment and qualifying criteria?

* Investor loan programs for the investor looking for both Purchase and also Refinance Non Owner Occupied Investor properties

*dollar Short & Long Term Private Money lending

* Hard Money- Asset based Lending

Its important to be aware of what is out there in the marketplace as it may affect you - regardless of whether you are an investor looking to acquire properties or to pull cash out through refinancings, or a seller seeking to get cashed out upon the resale of one of your properties.

Join us for what promises to be a very informative meeting.

janSpeaker: Author of Timing the Real Estate Market, Statistician, & Investor; Robert Campbell

Topic: 2012 Housing Forecast -What Will Happen & Why

Program Director Note: Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…"

***********************************************



The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing 
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy 
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! 

Dear Real Estate Investor: 
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 21-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well. 

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look. 

Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. 

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make and protect your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefellers, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, 
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them Vital Signs, and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As leading indicators to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

A Bad Rap for the Mortgage & Real Estate Industry's?

The real estate and mortgage industry has gotten a bad rap, as the cause of the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Yes, there were big troubles in real estate and in mortgage lending. But the most fundamental cause of the financial crisis in 2007-2008 was not subprime mortgages, it was the $5-10 trillion repurchase (repo) market, where giant financial institutions used subprime mortgage securities as collateral to get loans. When subprime borrowers began to default, the repo lenders panicked and stopped lending to the banks. That was the credit freeze that caused the crisis in September 2008.

In other words, the crisis was not caused by property owners borrowing too much money, it was caused by giant financial institutions borrowing too much money, much of it on the repurchase market.

Why should you care about this?

Some of the new rules for property transactions are not needed, since fixing mortgages will not prevent the next financial crisis if repo lenders panic over a different kind of collateral (like Greek debt) or hear a false rumor and panic for no reason at all.

To prevent the next financial crisis, we need to settle on reforms for the repurchase market.

Economists have made some suggestions. Visit with us as we talk about them. If nothing is done, expect more turmoil.

Two Full Days of High Quality Real World Education

Whether you have significant assets or just starting, there will be practical strategies presented that you can use that will save you many times the cost of this conference!  

ARE YOU A TARGET?
Take this Test and See for Yourself!

  1. Are you in business?
  2. Do you manage rentals?
  3. Are you a Professional?
  4. Do you live in a nice house?
  5. Do you own any property?
  6. Do you drive a car?
  7. Do you have employees?
  8. Do you invest in the market?

If you answered YES to any of the above, you're a potential target of the Urban Terrorist of the 21st Century; the "contingent fee" lawyer who can tie up your assets for years in legal proceedings.

The Solution?

REDUCE TAXES!
ACHIEVE FINANCIAL PRIVACY!
PROTECT ASSETS!

AVOID PROBATE!
BECOME JUDGEMENT PROOF!

This will be a down-to-earth, nuts and bolts class on Land Trusts and Personal Property Trust.  No, they are not the be-all and end-all entity for asset protection as some teach.  However, they are valuable entities to use in your asset protection plan and to conduct your business affairs.  

We will even have a couple of special guests, including a Trust Attorney to answer questions you may have on the topic and a Title Company representative .  We will be covering in detail the legal and tax aspects of Land Trusts and other kinds of Trusts what they really do for you and what they do not provide.  This will be a reality check!  And we will also discuss how Land Trusts fit into an overall business and investment plan. 

Even if you have been using Trust and Land Trusts for years, this class will be of value since we will also discuss particular clauses that can strengthen your Trust”but they should only be used by an informed investor.  And you will be an informed investor after this class. 

We will cover practical, everyday techniques you can use to help bulletproof your assets as well as advanced strategies for use when you are ready.  You will gain insights on methods others can use to separate you from your hard earned dollars and assets, then how to legally protect yourself. 

For Example, just a few of the topics we plan to cover in detail include -

  • Myriad of Uses of the Land Trust & Personal Property Trust
  • Liability issues
  • When a Trust can owe taxes -- Complex & Simple Trusts
  • Grantor & Non-Grantor trusts and why it makes a difference

janSpeaker: Author of Timing the Real Estate Market, Statistician, & Investor; Robert Campbell

Topic: 2011 Housing Forecast -What Will Happen & Why

Program Director Note: "Robert has spoken at our

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends.Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…"

***********************************************



The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits!

Dear Real Estate Investor:
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 21-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well.

Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look.

Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk.

I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make – and protect – your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefellers, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate,
nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them "Vital Signs," and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As "leading indicators" to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

Special Mystery Speaker

The "Japanification"
Of America!


The FED recently moved to drive down interest rates
even lower than they already are.

How will this effect our Economy and Real Estate Values?

> Few Nations in Recent History have seen a striking reversal of 
   Economic Fortune as Japan

> Japan rode to Economic dominance one of the Great speculative Stock
   Market and Real Estate Bubbles of all time in the 1980's.....only
   to see the bubbles popped in the late 1980's and early 1990's

> For nearly a generation now the Japanese nation has been trapped
   in low growth and a corrosive downward spiral of prices, 
   known as Deflation.

> Now, as the United States and other Western Nations struggle to
   recover from debt and property bubble's of their own a growing
   number of Economists are pointing to Japan as a dark vision
   of our future.

> Just as Inflation scarred a generation of Americans,
   DEFLATION has left a deep imprint on the Japanese.

Economists are now warning of the possible "Japanification" of America
- the same deflationary trap of collapsed demand that occurs when
consumers refuse to consume, corporations hold back on making
investments and banks in a tight credit market sit on cash.

Join us for this insightful discussion!

Why the Housing Market
Hasn't Recovered…

The Eisenhower Years

From a historical standpoint many people look back at the Eisenhower years when Dwight David Eisenhower served as President for eight years from 1953 to 1961 as a "quiet" era. During Dwight's time in office, home ownership was on the rise. The average home sold for $22,000.00. Guess where Mortgage rates were at that time?

You guessed right…. About where they are today! Mortgage interest rates were in the mid 4 % range.

A Perspective

Let's put this into a perspective for you. The last time mortgage interest rates were this low a first class postage stamp was 3 cents, the average income in the U.S. was $3,960.00 per year, a Ford automobile cost $1,548-$2,415, bread was .17 cents a loaf, a T-bone steak was .95 cents per pound, etc. Also they had Nickel & Dime stores not Dollar stores.

Today's home buyers are enjoying rolled back prices; sellers who are willing to pay some buyers closing costs, and interest rates at historic lows- BUT many of them are still not buying….WHY?

Four years after the housing bubble popped, the American real estate market has yet to launch a sustainable recovery. Although U.S. home prices have improved modestly since the spring of 2009—and certain regional markets have performed even better—sales and values will face renewed downward pressure later this year in the wake of the expiration of the federal home buyer tax credits. Indeed, some analysts expect the bloated inventory and sputtering demand to trigger a "double dip" housing recession, with prices possibly even slipping back below their April 2009 lows.

This disconcerting outlook has materialized despite some optimistic developments within the market. The 30-percent drop in real estate prices has helped restore affordability to a once wildly-overvalued market, putting additional consumers in position to become homeowners. Meanwhile, mortgage financing as pointed out above has grown downright cheap—with rates falling to 50-year lows.

So what's the problem then?

What's causing this stagnation in the housing recovery?

Attend this months meeting to find out why the housing market hasn't recovered, and how you as a savy investor can take advantage of the opportunities which will continue to present themselves.

Topic:

fSpecialists (hired guns)

Wikipedia states: A Specialist frequently refers to an expert in a profession.

These might involve title flaws, occupancy, ingress and egress issues, boundary lines, and Permit, Pest, Roof, & Home inspections, dealing with the new lead paint rules and so on….

Knowing who you can contact as a so called "Specialist" can often keep the escrow Alive and an actual closing together versus your deal falling apart.

4This months meeting will introduce you several local specialists (or Hired Guns as we like to refer to them as) who can assist you when that moment arrives and you need to seek out their help!

TIPs, Savings Bonds, Gold, and Cost-of-Living clauses

• Learn why Foreign Currencies, Bonds, & Stocks offer little protection

• Why Liquidity is Crucial and often Overlooked: You gotta be both Wealthy and Liquid to STAY Wealthy

BAWB March 18th, 2010 Meeting

After the Fall: Saving capitalism from Wall Street—and Washington

SPEAKER: Author, Nicole Gelinas

 

aBut it doesn't have to be this way.

You see the government gradually adopted a "too big to fail" policy for the largest or most complex financial companies, saving lenders to failing firms from losses. As a result, these companies became impervious to the vital market discipline that the threat of loss provides.

Adding to the problem, Wall Street created financial instruments that escaped other reasonable limits, including gentle constraints on speculative borrowing and requirements for the disclosure of important facts.

The financial industry eventually posed an untenable risk to the economy—a risk that culminated in the trillions of dollars' worth of government bailouts and guarantees that Washington scrambled starting in late 2008.

Even as banks and markets seem to heal, lenders to financial companies continue to understand that the government would protect them in the future if necessary. This implicit guarantee harms economic growth, because it forces good companies to compete against bad.

History and recent events make clear what Washington must do.

First, policymakers must reintroduce market discipline to the financial world. They can do so by re-creating a credible, consistent way in which big financial companies can fail, with lenders taking their warranted losses. Second, policymakers can reapply prudent financial regulations so that markets, and the economy, can better withstand inevitable excesses of optimism and pessimism. Sensible regulations have worked well in the past and can work well again.

Don't miss this incredibly informative meeting!

About Nicole Gelinas:

Nicole Gelinas is the Searle Freedom Trust Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. Gelinas writes on urban economics and finance, municipal and corporate finance, business issues, and crime. She is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a member of the New York Society of Securities Analysts.

Copies of her book will be available for purchase and autograph at the meeting.

In After the Fall, Nicole Gelinas shows how the financial crisis that began in 2008 was not a failure of markets, but a failure of government to understand its proper role in markets.

She explains how Washington helped bring on the economic crisis in two ways: through its "too big to fail" policy, and by its failure to apply proven, prudent regulatory principles to modern financial markets and firms. In the absence of market discipline and prudent regulation, the government is now deciding which companies and people should receive investment capital, and on what terms—harming our economic competitiveness.

A TWO (2) PART MEETING YOU MUST NOT MISS! sgplunderPART # 1 - Author & CalWatchdog's Editor in Chief; Steven GreenhutAuthor of the Book:"Plunder! How Public Employee Unions are Raiding Treasuries, Controlling Our Lives and Bankrupting the Nation."His Op-Ed article for the Wall Street Journal; "Plundering California" is a must read. Here is the link:http://liberty.pacificresearch.org/press/plundering-california

  • The 2010 California Budget shortfall is projected to be $20B or more!
  • This Shortfall is larger than the entire state budgets of all but a handful of other States
  • The California Legislature continues to use budget gimmicks, including unrealistic assumptions of new revenue and accounting tricks employed to effectively borrow from future year.
  • California as a state enacted the largest tax increase ever imposed by any statehouse in the history of America. The results were predictable: Like the tax increase of 1991, California plunged deeper into recession and produced less revenue.
  • The inability of politicians to restrain their spending of taxpayer dollars is the direct result of the forceful application of political power. And, in California, there are no greater political influences than thepublic employee unions.

To make a difference, lovers of liberty ought not only to buy Steven Greenhut's book, but buy several copies to distribute to friends and family.

To win the battle, we have to educate voters and Plunder! will not only educate, it will enrage. And in this case, a little rage is a good thing.Don't miss this opportunity to listen to Steven Greenhut LIVE! - books will be available for purchase and autograph.

Meetings in the past and has been incredibly prescient in accurately predicting California Real Estate Market trends. Don't miss his insight at this months meeting…"

***********************************************

The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits!

Dear Real Estate Investor:
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 21-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well.
Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look.
Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make – and protect – your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefellers, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them "Vital Signs," and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As "leading indicators" to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

moneyShow Me the Money! - 2009

Its a new day and age in the world of Real Estate Finance.

Proper and timely funding is the grease the "squeaky wheel" continues to need in order for properties to continue to be bought and sold and for any chance of a housing recovery to take hold.

With mortgage lending activities severely restricted and the availabiltiy of funds for both buyers and sellers limited- this months meeting involves a panel of several different lenders who offer different niche lending programs that cater to activities such as:

* Fixer Upper Loans - both from an institiuional lender standpoint and from a private money lending vantage point.

* First Time and current Home buyers FHA, VA, and Conventional financing programs.

Does Title seasoning of ownership matter?

What about the new HVCC- Home Valuation Code of Condut appraisal rules?

What are the various down payment and qualifying criteria?

* Investor loan programs for the investor looking both Purchase and also Refinance Non Owner Occupied Investor properties

*dollar Short & Long Term Private Money lending

* Hard Money- Asset based Lending

Its important to be aware of what is out there in the marketplace as it may affect you - regardless of whether you are an investor looking to acquire properties or to pull cash out through refinancings, or a seller seeking to get cashed out upon the resale of one of your properties.

Join us for what promises to be a very informative meeting.

Part 2 -

"Getting Rich in today's market with bank-owned Foreclosures and ‘Rent-Smart' Lease Options"

Presented by Andy Heller of Regular Riches: Real Estate Riches for Regular People

Don't Miss the Follow up FULL DAY WORKSHOP
Sat. July 25th in San Francisco

There will be a Follow up FULL DAY Workshop on Saturday July 25th, 2009 - held in San Francisco with Andy Heller - the cost to attend is as little as $49.00 - and we have (2) two valuable FREE Bonuses for you if you Pre-Register. For more details about the workshop and to register please click here. 

aaAbout Andy Heller:

Andy Heller is a nationally recognized real estate expert, and has been interviewed and prominently featured in respected publications including Kiplinger, WallStreetJournal.com, TheStreet.com, Personal Excellence, Money Magazine, and MarketWatch.com.

There are literally hundreds of wealth-building strategies available for real estate investors. Some are more lucrative than others, and many are simply way to much work for the money that an investor hopes to make. Fortune Magazine is arguably the leading magazine in North America today that teaches people how to make money. "Regular Guy" Andy Heller, will show you why of the hundreds of wealth-building formulas, Fortune Magazine recommended Andy Heller's "Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High" strategy among the top five recommended strategies for real estate investors. 

Andy and his story will inspire and connect with you, as it is a "regular guy" get rich story. Like so many of us, Andy started investing part time, pulling aside a few hours each week for his hobby. The lack of success of Andy and his partner Scott's "buy and flip" plans led them literally by accident to a goldmine called buy low, rent smart, sell high.

When Andy and Scott found buying properties from distressed sellers to be tedious, hard work, and depressing they discovered by accident a hidden gem in the foreclosure process…BANK OWNED REAL ESTATE. With bank-owned real estate an investor is able to purchase MULTIPLE PROPERTIES from single sources, without emotions, and with clean and clear title.

Once purchased, when Andy and Scott were then unable to flip their first home after 9 months on the market, they modified the typical lease/purchase deal to come up with their unique rent smart and sell high formula. Their SHORTEST lease is 3 years, and each of their tenants (gladly) accepts responsibility for repairs and maintenance. High turnover, nightmare tenants, and lengthy vacancies are non-issues when you "rent smart"

How profitable is their formula? The last home Andy and Scott sold required about 20 hours of effort, and netted a profit of $57,400. That is $2,870/per hour. But don't leave your day job just yet. Come hear Andy speak and he will cover:

• Why today's COOLING market is a RED HOT opportunity for investors

• Buying Low: Learn about the untapped fortunes with bank-owned real estate

• Why especially today bank owned properties offer investors of all means unlimited deals

• WHY ESPECIALLY TODAY AN INVESTOR CAN MAKE ENOURMOUS PROFITS BUYING 
BANK-OWNED FORECLOSURES!!!

• Why bank-owned properties may be the best SOURCE for investors who have limited cash
and/or credit

• How to calculate the EXACT price you need to buy properties at in order to maximize
your profits

• What types of properties can you buy from banks

• Why a MOTIVATED tenant is the key to landlording fortunes

• How the "typical" lease options minimize, not maximize, an investor's profits

• How to make a fortune in real estate AND help your tenants at the same time

• How to sell for top dollar WITHOUT paying real estate commissions

• Achieve your REGULAR RICHES: Real estate fortunes for regular people…without the hassles

Andy will explain why the "Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High" strategy is specifically positioned to take advantage of two dominant characteristics of today's real estate market. First, on the buying end, we are seeing record foreclosures, and the lucrative post-foreclosure market has been their favorite hunting ground for deals for close to 20 years. Secondly, on the marketing end, their unique lease/purchase strategy positions today's investor to take advantage of a rapidly strengthening rental market.
