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)

Speaker: Author of Timing the Real Estate Market, Statistician, & Investor;
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…”
***********************************************
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 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.
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.

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:
Joe 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.

Speaker: Author of Timing the Real Estate Market, Statistician, & Investor;
Robert Campbell
Topic:
2018 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…”
***********************************************
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 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.
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.

- 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…”
***********************************************
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 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.

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.

"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 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
Fear 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 
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.
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:
DYCHES 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.
PETER 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?
As 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.
Cari 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
Cari'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:
- The current state of the U.S. housing markets – and why it may be poised for another 2006-2010 collapse.
- Why the economy has to experience another Great Depression before it can get better – and how to avoid becoming a victim.
- What the problem is – and the futility of worrying about it or trying to "fix" it.
- Why your vote – and the politicians you elect – won't save you – and why you should instead focus on saving yourself.
- Why the U.S. is currently like a car speeding 100 MPH heading toward a brick wall.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

We have limited space for this event. This Workshop Will SELL OUT..

2015 Meeting
Is this the Right Time to Buy? Have we really reached the bottom of the
Market as other so called experts are saying? Is the worst behind us? Is
stabilization of the Marketplace now upon us as many industry experts are
preaching? How long will this so called Real Estate "recovery" run on
for? What is looming over the Horizon? DO NOT MISS 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 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.

Join us for what promises to be a very informative 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 22-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."

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!
-
Are you in business?
-
Do you manage rentals?
-
Are you a Professional?
-
Do you live in a nice house?
-
Do you own any property?
-
Do you drive a car?
-
Do you have employees?
-
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!
BAWB meeting Thurs. July 18th 2013
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?


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
you 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"
About 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.
With
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.

programs for the investor looking for both Purchase and also Refinance Non

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.

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!
-
Are you in business?
-
Do you manage rentals?
-
Are you a Professional?
-
Do you live in a nice house?
-
Do you own any property?
-
Do you drive a car?
-
Do you have employees?
-
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
Trustâ€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

When a Trust can owe taxes -- Complex & Simple Trusts

Speaker: 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.

Meeting June 17 th
2010
Topic:
Specialists (hired
guns)
Wikipedia states:
A Specialist frequently refers to an expert in a
profession.
There are
certain incidents or problems which often seem to crop up when trying to buy or
sell Real Property where an escrow is involved.
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.
This
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!

BAWB March 18th, 2010 Meeting
After the Fall: Saving capitalism from Wall Street—and
Washington
SPEAKER: Author, Nicole Gelinas
But 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!

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! 
PART # 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

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.

Show 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
*
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

properties.

About
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.

TOPIC:
HOW TO HIRE A
$50,000
PER
YEAR
ASSISTANT
WHO PAYS FOR
THEMSELF
SPEAKER:
Author, Investor,
Educator, Creator of Key Elements Training;
ALAN
BRYMER
A Personal
Assistant – Who Pays Their Own
Salary
Most entrepeneurs, business owners, and
investors know how to buy and sell, but find that their business
and also investing in real estate is taking over their free time
and running them ragged.
Alan Brymer is the only speaker whose sole
focus is to show business owners and real estate investors how to
cut the number of hours they work by 50-80%, while doing more deals with less hassle. The
key is having systems, and having someone in place to take care of
the myriads of time-consuming phone calls and busy work for
you.
Alan teaches a system of strategies
designed to help any business owner or investor, whether new or
experienced, to hire and train an assistant to run their errands,
make their calls, run their marketing campaigns, find them deals,
sell their houses, and more. The techniques Alan covers
will…
• Let you work HALF as
much – or get twice as much done – with less
effort
• Cut your working hours
down by 50-80% each week, and
• Allow you to do ONLY
the work that YOU want to/can do – so you can have a life
again!
Here's just a
sampling of the important topics covered by Alan in his
presentation:
• Sure fire, inexpensive
ways to attract hundreds of the right kind applicants
•
Tips that zero in on separating the diamonds from the duds, so you
are left with only the most qualified
•
How to get an assistant who will do personal errands for you as
well as business tasks
•
How much should you pay an assistant, and how? Hourly? Salary?
Commission?
•
What kinds of things can they do for you?
•
At what point of your business do you recommend getting an
assistant?
•
The amazing secret of having an assistant that makes you several
times more money than you are paying them.
•
The pros and cons of hiring someone in your town vs. another state,
or even another country
•
How to professionally manage people to minimize headaches and
hassles, so your business flows smoothly and
efficiently.
•
How to train your assistant in the least amount of time and get the
very the best results.
•
How can I learn to LET GO and not be a control freak?
•
Independent Contractors vs employees…And MORE!
How many business owners and investors got
into business or real estate so they could retire early, travel the
world, or live a comfortable life? And how few are actually doing
that now?
Business owners and Investors want to know
how to get the things they want most out of life, and that is
exactly what Alan teaches. And, that's exactly why people must
learn about The Assistant Who Pays Their Own Salary.
This is a VERY valuable presentation you
don't want to miss.
Who is Alan
Brymer?
Alan Brymer is the
creator of The Assistant Who Pays Their Own Salary and the Founder
and President of the Utah Valley Real Estate Investors Association.
He has been a full-time investor since his first property at the
age of 22. By creating a structured, organized approach to his
business, Alan has raised millions of dollars in private funding
and has become an expert in creative real estate
transactions.
Alan's real estate
investment company was named by the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial
Forum as one of the "Top 25 Companies Under Five Years Old."
Competing companies were judged based on profit, growth, funding,
job creation, and job quality.
He is a frequent guest
expert for the news media, having made TV appearances on KSL's
Studio 5 Morning Show, iProvo, and Spotlight with Dana Robinson. He
has also been published or highlighted in The Salt Lake Tribune,
Deseret Morning News, The Daily Herald, Utah Business Magazine,
Connect Magazine, The Provo/Orem Chamber Insider, Intermountain
Investor, Mortgage Mag Weekly, The Scotsman Magazine, Utah Valley
Business Quarterly, and The Salt Lake Enterprise.
In addition to his real
estate experience, Alan is an expert at systemizing businesses to
run without the owner. Like many, he attended seminars and
bought courses but found that while the techniques of real estate
are frequently taught, there were no courses that showed how to
streamline and run a business in the level of detail and freedom
that he was searching for.
He began to develop
systems for his own real estate business, which has allowed him to
do more deals in less time each month. He has incorporated these
into his consulting and is now presenting them as complete systems
modules. Today, serious real estate investors can, for the
first time, take their investing to the next level with the world's
first system designed to streamline the real estate investing
business and increase profitability.

Buying and Selling Houses in a Down Market
Speaker; Robyn Thompson
"The Queen of Rehab"
Robyn
became financially independent renovating houses, and you can do the
same;however, if you aren't prepared, the process can become completely
overwhelming...
Many real estate
investors shy away from the "ugly" house business because they fear
hiring contractors and tradesmen. However the BEST deals whether they
are from REO lenders or private party sellers are typically found where
a property needs lots of fix up work.
We have all heard
the horror stories of rehabbers who loose their shirt because a
contractor took them to the cleaners, they did not properly estimate
the costs for materials and labor, or forgot about the invariable
unknowns.
Learn how the
beginning novice real estate investor and even the seasoned pros
make
correct choices when tackling a renovation project.
How to engage
your "Team"; contractors, and tradesmen so that they are hard working
team players that get the job done on time, on budget and at a high
standard of quality.
*********************************************************************************

Robyn Thompson is
the nations leading expert on buying, renovating and selling homes for
huge chunks of cash and is known throughout the United States and

looked back.
Over the past 11
years since Robyn left IBM, she has bought, fixed and sold 260 homes
with price ranges as low as $8,000 to as high as $4,000,000. She
has spent as much as $2,100,000 in labor and materials in one year to
renovate properties with more than 22 contractors working full time to
take the ugly homes she bought and turn them into little castles at
lightening speed.
Robyn will be
sharing her strategies on: 1) How to find the profitable homes that
need to be renovated, 2) How to find and control the contractors to get
the job done and 3) Selling houses quickly for huge chunks of

***********************************************
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."

CHAIN OF
BLAME
How Wall Street Caused the Mortgage and Credit Crisis
by Paul Muolo and Mathew Padilla
 |
|
The true extent
of Wall Street's role in the current mortgage and credit crisis is
revealed for the first time by authors Paul Muolo and Mathew Padilla,
two acclaimed journalists who have long tracked the financial industry.
In CHAIN OF BLAME: How Wall Street Caused the
Mortgage and Credit Crisis (Wiley; $27.95; July
2008, Hardcover), the authors spin a tale of greed and
recklessness all around Countrywide Chief Angelo Mozilo, whom Muolo has
known for 20 years. Going behind the scenes of Mozilo's dramatic rise
and fall, the book outlines his love-hate relationship with The Street,
and how he paved the way for mortgage banking firms to use loan brokers
who had "no skin" in the lending game. The idea was to fund loans as
quickly as possible and securitize them through Wall Street. It was
then Wall Street's job to transform the mortgages into "investments"
and find people (sometimes suckers) to buy them. The whole system
became concerned with one thing: earning a commission.
Muolo and Padilla
chronicle this disaster, and explain in detail what went wrong at the
nation's top subprime lending institutions including Countrywide, and
non-banks such as New Century Financial, Ameriquest Mortgage and its
sister firm, Argent Mortgage, the latter two of which were owned by the
late Roland Arnall, former ambassador to the Netherlands, and a large
political donor to the George W. Bush. (Many of the nation's largest
non-bank subprime firms were backed by such Wall Street giants as Bear,
Stearns, Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and Greenwich
Capital, among others.
Revelations from CHAIN OF BLAME include the following
(and more):
-
Wall
Street firms like Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns were using
sweat shop contract underwriting firms to review billions
of dollars worth of mortgages from 2004 to early 2007. Some
workers interviewed by Muolo and Padilla believed the edict
was to review one loan an hour or never get called again
for a job.
-
Some
workers told the authors that certain supervisors working
for the contract underwriting firms of Clayton Holdings and
the Bohan Group changed the ratings on loans to please
their Wall Street clients. At the same time Wall Street
supervisors didn't seem to care too much about quality
because they were more interested in quantity: they had
loans to securitize and bond investors to sell those
securities too-especially overseas.
-
The
inside story of went wrong at Angelo Mozilo's Countrywide
Financial, the nation's largest home lender.
-
How
various lenders kept lists (such as Countrywide's "Friends
of Angelo's") in order to give special concessions and
deals to influential people
-
An
inside look at the rise and fall of the Bear Stearn hedge
funds, based on subprime assets, created by Ralph Cioffi
and Matthew Tannin who currently face federal
prosecution.
-
How
America's subprime debacle sparked a worldwide credit
crisis.
-
Which
reputable Wall Street firms couldn't resist the gold rush
despite growing evidence that subprime delinquencies were
growing.
-
What
led to the rise and fall of Ameriquest Mortgage, the
nation's largest subprime lender.
-
The
first definitive history of subprime lending in America
with juicy details about how this business started out with
'Repo Men' throwing bald grannies out of their homes.
-
The
reasons why it could be a full decade before the U.S
housing market recovers from the losses and price declines
of the past 18 months.
CHAIN OF
BLAME is a sweeping, narrative of greed run amok, one that has
not come down the pike since James B. Stewart's Den of Thieves
and Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker.
About the
authors:
Paul
Muolo is the co-author of the bestselling "Inside Job: The
Looting of America's Savings and Loans." He is the executive editor of
National Mortgage News, which won a Polk Award in 1990 for its
reporting on the S&L Crisis. His freelance work has appeared in
The New York Times, The Washington Post, Barron's,
Playboy, and various other publications.
Mathew
Padilla (Santa Ana, CA) is a business reporter for The
Orange County Register and a regular business news commentator on
KOCE and KDOC television. His work on the subprime crisis was
recognized by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and
was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He also hosts the popular Mortgage
Insider blog website, which has been featured on CNBC, MarketWatch, and
Editor & Publisher.

Speaker:
Author,
investor, educator,
Michael Morrongiello
TOPIC:
"Paper" into Cash - The Convertible
Currency
How to
Manufacture Your Own Financing
Don't
just survive the credit crunch - THRIVE during changing market
cycles!
Discover how
to effectively create marketable real estate-secured Notes that can
be easily and readily converted into a cash lump sum. With the real
estate markets softening, Wall Street no longer buying certain
loans, and qualifying criteria becoming more stringent - with the
right knowledge, you can fill the void in the marketplace by
offering seller financing for both the acquisition and disposition
of properties.
What
is Seller Carryback financing?
When a
property seller assists the buyer by acting as the lender, the
property seller may finance part or all of the sale. The term given
to such seller financing is "carryback financing." A seller is
literally carrying back part or all of the financing on the
property instead of a financial institution.
In today's tight credit Market; Seller carryback financing is vital
to a successful sales program. It is so important that if more
property sellers, their agents, buyers, and Real Estate Investors
understood the principles of seller carryback financing, more real
estate activity would be generated across the country than with any
other marketing tool!
A Few
Advantages of Seller Carryback Financing:
It makes a
listing more salable.
It provides
the seller with an interest return (yield) on their note that
exceeds savings accounts, CD's and money market
accounts.
The seller
carryback note(s) can be an extremely safe
investment.
The seller
carryback note(s) can be made salable, should the holder need cash
in the future.
At
this Meeting you will learn About;
-
Understanding
"Paper" - WHY use seller financing to buy or
sell
-
Different
types of security instruments which can be used
-
Relationship
between PRICE vs. TERMS
-
Wrap's

-

-

Structuring tips, tricks, and techniques
-

-
The
some NOW, some LATER concept
-
Generating
solutions and how to profit with "paper"
* The type of
notes preferred by "paper" investors or note buyers. Owner-occupied
homes are the most desirable. History has proven them the most
stable. Notes secured by land usually have the greatest
risk.
* Real estate
values fluctuate both up and down over time, even in good areas.
Why a note holder's best protection against loss is
protective equity established at the time
he acquires a note. An owner with a substantial equity who is
paying on a note will be motivated to protect his/her equity
position.
Some
Terms & Concepts to become familiar
with:
Your
Financial Calculator:
TIME:
Expressed in months or years (Calculator symbol =
N)
INTEREST:
The rate of interest or yield desired usually expressed per month
or per year (Calculator symbol = I). The annual interest rate must
be divided by the number of payments that the note requires during
the year. Monthly + by 12, Quarterly + by 4, semi-annually + by 2,
etc.
PRESENT
VALUE: The dollar value today of dollars to be received in
the future. (PV is the symbol.)
PAYMENT:
The amount of money paid periodically on the note. In the above
example, payment includes principal and interest. (Payment is the
PMT symbol on a financial calculator.)
FUTURE
VALUE: As a seller carried back of a note to be fully
amortized over 10 years, the future value (FV on the financial
calculator) would be zero. However, suppose a note has a future
balloon payment due before it fully amortizes. If you are solving
for PV, you must first calculate the amount of the balloon or the
Future Value (FV) before you can calculate or solve for the
discounted PV value.
More
Terms
PROTECTIVE
EQUITY: Is the current market value of the property less
the total debt on the property. It is the sellers' or lenders'
cushion against possible loss. The larger the protective equity,
the more protection for the lender. Note: Having substantial
protective equity is the best way to take back a mortgage without
being taken.
LOAN-TO-VALUE
(LTV) ratio is the amount of debt on a property
expressed as a percentage of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the
property. Example: A property valued at $100,000 has a first loan
of $50,000 and a second loan of $20,000. The $70,000 total debt
divided by the $100,000 Fair Market Value (FMV) = 70% LTV. The
lower the loan-to-value ratio, the more equity an owner has. For
example, with only $50,000 debt, the same property would have a LTV
ratio of 50%.

* Using Investor
money for your down payments
* Structuring
financing that gives you the cash flow
* Buying property
with the greatest profit potential
* Attracting and
keeping the best tenants in your town.

About
John Schaub:
John has survived
eight Presidents and prospered for 30 years as a landlord. He authored
the original single family house seminar in 1976 which launched
thousands on their way to successful investing. He is still an active
buyer and engaged in managing his business and investments, when not
traveling with his family, or building homes for Habitat for
Humanity.
John is a
reformed "Big Deal" guy, who discovered that most of the big talkers
had small bank balances. John stresses keeping it simple. He talks only
about what he has done and what has worked and sometimes not worked for
him. John spends nearly all of his working time making deals and
managing his properties. He teaches only three seminars a
year.
He stresses
buying better, well located houses as opposed to less expensive houses
or other income properties. Better houses are much more profitable and
far less trouble. He advocates paying off debt, owning properties free
and clear and maximizing cash flow by only buying properties with
larger profit potential, financed so they produce immediate cash
flow.
John graduated in
1970 from the University of Florida College of Business, was an active
Realtor for 10 years and served as President of both the Sarasota and
Florida Real Estate Exchangers. He is listed in the Hall of Fame of

The Mortgage Meltdown Freeze = Fraud
Part 1 –
San Mateo, CA Attorney, freelance writer;
Sean Olender
MORTGAGE MELTDOWN
Interest rate 'freeze' - the real story is fraud
Bankers pay lip service to families while scurrying to avert suits,
prison
Excerpt:
…unfortunately, the "freeze" is just another fraud - and like the other
bailout proposals, it has nothing to do with U.S. house prices, with
"working families," keeping people in their homes or any of that
nonsense.
The sole goal of
the freeze is to prevent owners of mortgage-backed securities, many of
them foreigners, from suing U.S. banks and forcing them to buy back
worthless mortgage securities at face value - right now almost 10 times
their market worth.
The ticking time
bomb in the U.S. banking system is not resetting subprime mortgage
rates. The real problem is the contractual ability of investors in
mortgage bonds to require banks to buy back the loans at face value if
there was fraud in the origination process.
And, to be sure,
fraud is everywhere. It's in the loan application documents, and it's
in the appraisals. There are e-mails and memos floating around showing
that many people in banks, investment banks and appraisal companies -
all the way up to senior management - knew about it.

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. 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
