Things have been crazy (in a good way!) over the past month, and it's funny, as I (Nick) type this, once again Massachusetts is seeing a storm where we received over 15 inches of that white stuff. I've attempted to ski, and I don't even break bones anymore going down the mountain, but I'm not so avid where I appreciate this much snowfall.
We have a congratulations in order - one of our students (Mike C. of Methuen) really stepped up and took action. Within 6 months, Mike focused down on his financial goals. He researched and set up his new real estate market out of state, and completed his first real estate deal! He was able to raise private money and spent a total of around 6 hours on the deal, netting him about $15K after splitting with his investor. That's an infinite return, and about $2,500 per hour for his time. Way to go, Mike! The best part is, he's informed me he has three other deals on the table he's working on, and he's now turned his business into a machine. All in 6 months! That takes dedication, focus, and action.
We also had a very successful "Analyze The Deal" seminar in Chelmsford! We kept this group small (under 20 individuals), and it was a fantastic night of information and networking. We look forward to continuing those seminars, to allow all local investors to continue building relationships and their knowledge. Thanks to all who attended! More importantly - have you made an offer yet??
If you're NOT MAKING OFFERS, then you're NOT MAKING MONEY!
The team here at AA Real Estate has been so busy this past month. Along with servicing our current investors and students, we have been refocusing on our business and where we want to see it go.
We have been in the residential business for 4 years now, and we've made the decision to put this branch on hold for right now, except for the current deals we are currently working on. We decided it would be best to ensure our focus is on our investors and our students, and in order to do that, we will no longer be actively acquiring residential property, except in partnerships with our students (where they choose).
So what HAVE we been doing?
Nick has been focusing down on building the Educational branche of the business. With a whole slew of new seminars and classes coming up, we hope to enrich the active investors up here with some fantastic info, to help them make the best of their investing career.
AA Real Estate will still focus on working with our students, and getting all the money back in our investors' IRAs that was lost in the stock market. For those that haven't seen the light yet, it's a FANTASTIC time to dump those losing stocks and get into real assets, with CA$HFLOW.
Nichol has also been busy! For those that have not yet heard, AA Real Estate has also begun servicing Luxury Property owners, sell their property QUICKLY. Many agents and brokers out there don't quite have the networks or knowledge of how to effectively market these high-end properties, so Nichol and her affiliation with the Luxury Homes Group allows her to service these individuals and help get them out of their situation. She is currently working with her team in both the MA and NH markets. More info will be put on the website soon on this, so stay tuned!
As a tip to investors, get yourself a FLIP cam! We have been using these to market properties for some time now, and you will also begin to see some videos we post within our Education and Commercial divisions, up on our site and on YouTube fairly soon. Flip cams are less than $150, and really help build a buyers list for you to sell your wholesale or retail deals.
Long update! Hopefully it won't be another whole month before we update, but in case it is...
Happy Investing!
