Should I Buy an REO from the Bank?
There's a common misconception among consumers who want to buy real estate from a bank. Does this provide them with the best deal? Maybe yes, but maybe no. Lets take a look at the reality of the situation.

You Can Syndicate Anything
I'm on the way back from Las Vegas where I just spend the last few days attending the Pitbull Mortgage School hard money training program. The seminar was not so much about lending, underwriting criteria, and the state of the art in hard money transactions as I expected. Interestingly enough, it was about syndication. The objective of the conference was to show the attendees they could syndicate capital and form a pool so rather than brokering hard money transactions, they can become the principal and make the loan decision.

Where is Your Horse – In Front of or Behind the Cart?
Real Estate syndication is by far the most profitable aspect of the real estate industry. The reason is that it encompasses all the other areas including brokerage, lending, ownership, management and more. Each month, I host two Q&A teleconferences to help experienced people in the real estate business attain success in syndication. And with every call, I find there are two groups of people. There are those who are properly organized and ready to get started on the right path to real estate syndication. And then there are those who are having trouble getting out of their own way.

Thank you and farewell to Matt Zembruski
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that my longtime colleague, business partner, and friend, Matt Zembruski, is moving on to pursue other goals and dreams for his business career. Matt has been the general manager of Growth-Logic, Inc, also known as Bullseye Capital, for the last six years and his contribution has been immeasurable I am happy for Matt, but consider it a loss because Matt has brainstormed with me; Matt has organized with me; and Matt has helped to lead our company into many of the wonderful programs that have helped so many people over the years.

Should the Concept of Estate Tax Apply to Big Corporations?
The founding fathers of this country, and many of the leaders that followed, watched the wealth accumulated by the early industrialists such as Getty, Rockefeller and Carnegie. Our country’s leaders did not want any person or family to acquire so much wealth that they became more powerful than the government — or so rich that they could challenge it. For this reason, the founders of our taxation system brought this concept to life with the Estate Tax in 1916. In this way, the estate tax, or “anti-accumulation of wealth tax,” keeps us all safe from excessive growth of a small few.

How Do You Pick Properties in an Anomaly Market?
The conditions that real estate is facing right now can only be described as irregular: the free market is not working freely. Banks are holding properties and the Fed has not mandated the sale of these properties. Property owners have lost their equity. Short sales abound and foreclosure is at an all-time high. Turbulence and confusion have created an anomaly market.

Can an Imperfect Market Produce Perfect Results?
In economics, it's well known that a perfect market is one in which everybody has access to information instantly, accurately, and uniformly. The closest market in the United States to this is our stock market, where the information flows freely; investors know exactly how securities are priced within moments of the most recent trades. Perfect markets are difficult to beat, and the people who identify and take little pinches of profits call it arbitrage.

Can Lone Wolves Cooperate?
A few days ago, I shared my view on how entrepreneurs are being squeezed out in this economy - even more so than our bigger company counter-parts who have also been struggling. A lot of people agreed — and a few disagreed – but this topic created a lot of discussion. Now I want to put forth a strategy for entrepreneurs to embrace. One which could help all on line diet of us overcome this mess.

The Death of Entrepreneurship?
In business, nothing matters more to me than free enterprise and the success of entrepreneurship across America. The values that entrepreneurs bring to business are what have made this country great over its 234-year history. But I'm concerned that the current business and political environment is so unfriendly to entrepreneurs that the death of entrepreneurship may be imminent.

Are You Ready to Take Real Estate to the Next Level?
These days, I'm asked more frequently to address real estate related topics than any of the other areas where I help people to raise capital and structure their businesses. The area where I specialize in real estate is known as real estate syndication. Syndication means putting many investors together into a pool and then a general manager, managing director or general partner invests that money into an asset on behalf of all of the partners who put money into the deal. The investing partners are generally silent partners and the manager has virtually complete control (within reason) of all the activities of the partnership.
