- And of course, me, the Flipping America guy, Roger Blankenship. I’ve made my career in real estate investing primarily by doing it rather than talking about it. I’ve flipped hundreds of houses and I’m going to show you how to do it. I have a few techniques no one else uses or teaches, but I’m going to share them with you. Why?
Because we are going to tell you how to get started Flipping Houses and building wealth. It’s not just owning a business, it’s owning a wealth generation machine that will not only provide for you, but be a blessing to your children and grandchildren. And that’s not all, when you purchase your ticket for only $97 for this two day event, my good friend Jay Conner is going to invite you to HIS event in October at no additional charge.

- Blockchain Technology is in the news again. ATLANT Blockchain is a new company designed to make real estate investing accessible to everyone. Because of the open nature of the technology, pricing information, ownership information is available to all.
- Tokenized ownership
- Peer to Peer rentals.
- Implications:
- The more all the information is available the more efficient the market becomes. It leads to a form of market stability, but also reduces opportunity.
- Limited discounts
- Limited opportunity for value-ad or forced appreciation.
- Won’t happen all at once - won’t happen soon, and will probably always be one of the options - not the only method.
- The advance of technology - takes away some opportunities - creates others.
- Demand for apartments easing off. The year over year absorption rate is down 8%. This means apartments are sitting for longer periods of time when completed. In another 6-8 months, rent rates are going to take a dip.
- Chinese Investments are pouring into London.
- Contrary to “expert” predictions
- Cheap Brexit Pound Sterling
- Political unease at home
- Safe Haven
- Stability
Scams:
- Craigslist ad: i have a 2/1. You add a bedroom and bathroom and sell for 180. Repairs 45. Purchase 42. No address given. When contacted, the “seller” gave this spiel: Thanks so much for your interest in the property. We are an investment company that locates, drive around, negotiate, prepare reports and picture's and past the deals on to you. Our company charges a research/address release fee of $100.00. Now, If you are interested in the property the fee will be a credit to your closing cost. If you are not interested in the property it is a non-refund charge for our services. Also, If you have interest in purchasing the property it would be an Earnest Money of 2000.00 payable to the Title Company. Again, thanks so much for your interest. -Karen, Robinson Service LLC
Emails: Questions@flippingamericaradio.com Tell us where you’re from! Frederica from Long Beach, CA: Where do you see opportunities for residential investing today? Any area with solid job market and growing population base. Only invest in small towns if you live in that small town or have some other reason to be there from time to time.. Affordable homes - The way to wealth is to see and need and fill it. If you can build AFFORDABLE housing right now, you can make a fortune. There is a dearth of it. Anthony, Boulder, CO: I want to get into commercial investing but don’t know how. I have $150,000 to put to this. REIT Crowd Funding DP on small office building. Jennifer from Providence, RI: Went to FlipStarterEvent.com. Looks like a great event at a great price.
