GOFF SYNERGY - 2 Brothers Re-Connect to Create the Biggest Opportunity for Beginner and Experienced Investors the Real Estate World has Ever Seen...
It all started 14 years ago, when my brother convinced me to purchase the Carlton Sheets Real Estate Program. After reading through it, I was totally confused about how to make money in real estate, but I was interested in learning more, and didn’t let the confusion stop me. I decided to pack up a U-haul and move to Texas where my brother lived, and we started doing real estate investing full time. Neither one of us had much knowledge or experience but we kept on plugging. Eighteen months later, I had officially closed 46 deals of my own. I was hooked!
While working together with my brother we set up 5 Real Estate investment offices across Texas and started training others how to successfully make money in real estate. The success that we had investing and teaching others caught the attention of some pretty important people, and in 2007, Steve went to work for one of the biggest names in Real Estate- Donald J. Trump. I followed in 2008, and we spent the next few years teaching thousands of people across the country how to make their financial dreams come true, using the same methods we had used. While Steve enjoyed teaching and speaking in a classroom setting, I found my niche in one-on-one teaching. My students were so successful and happy with their training, that I was asked to put together a program to teach the other educators my teaching methods.
Steve and I enjoyed our time working for Mr. Trump, learning as much along the way as we taught, but the entrepreneur’s heart is not content to work for ANYONE else for too long, and when the chance came for us to ‘fire our boss’, and be on our own again, we were both very happy!
Now, throughout History, brothers have been notorious for disagreeing, and we were no exception. While Steve wanted to build a bigger and better version of the business we had in Texas, and continue to teach and mentor budding real estate investors, I recognized the need for a new approach to the way Real Estate investing had been traditionally taught. I also wanted to focus on something that I feel is lacking in every other REI education company out there today- MARKETING education.
We each have been successful at the things we have chosen to focus on, and have found ourselves in the not terrible position of needing to expand in order to continue growing; each wanting to provide the complete spectrum of education for our clients.
SO, with a little help from both my wife and best friend, who together sat us down and gave us a friendly reminder of the synergy lesson -A whole is greater than the sum of its parts- my brother and I have merged our companies to bring you something that is ‘knock your socks off’ good.
Call it Goff Synergy, if you will. Call it whatever you want, really... but look out! Together we are a force to be reckoned with. Our clients are equipped with the most highly effective education and tools to have ever hit the world of Real Estate Investing, and since you certainly don’t want our clients as your competition, my advice to you is this.. BECOME ONE OF OUR CLIENTS!

6 Steps to Marketing Your Business
Marketing your business is just as important as perfecting your craft. Yet, it's the one thing that nobody teaches you how to do. You spend thousands of dollars on Real Estate Programs teaching you the craft but end up failing because you have failed to learn how to market the business that you just spent thousands of dollars learning.
Now... for the last 3 years training thousands of business owners from across the country working for Donald Trump, the TOP questions asked were these...
How do I market my business?
How do I generate more Buyers?
How do I build a Sellers List?
How do I sell properties fast?
Here's the answer, there are 6 Marketing Steps that you can use to market your business more effectively, generate more buyers, build a sellers list and sell properties fast.
Step 1 - The first step is identifying what your product or service is. Try to come up with a unique name for your product or service. Something new and fresh. Include what makes it different from other similar products in the name.
Example: If you sell golf balls -
Don't say - Golf Balls
Say - Rocket long golf balls
Step 2 - Use Benefits in your marketing.
One of the biggest lessons I learned was that people buy on emotion (Benefits) and justify the purchase with it's features. When selling real estate, this is extremely important.
Example: If you're selling your home -
Don't say - This home has a large back yard. Or, Large half-acre lot.
Say – Huge backyard, perfect for weekend football games with the guys and summer evenings spent catching fireflies with the kids!
Step 3 - Pains of not buying your product or service.
Using "pains" reminds your consumer of the constant pains they go through without your product.
Example: Location of a home.
Don't say - This home is in a perfect location.
Say - This home is conveniently located near shopping, ball parks, and major traffic veins, meaning less time spent commuting, and more time spent living!
Step 4 - Pile it On!
This is where you mention all of the features of your product or service. You want to mention as many as you can think of.
Example: Selling a Home
Mention the bedrooms, baths, square footage, and special features like premium flooring, cabinetry and fixtures.
Step 5 - Reason Why!
This is where you tell the consumer the reason why they need your product or service. Don't elaborate here because it may turn off a lot of people. Keeping it simple is always the best approach.
Example: Selling a Home!
I'm moving out of state and hate to let this beautiful home go.
Step 6 - Call to Action!
This is where you need to get people to call. You can have everything perfect in your marketing but if you fail to get them to call, you'll never make any money.
Examples: Call to Actions

Your Brooklyn Unicorn (Headline)
The moment you step through the front door of this classic, 1940’s 2br/2ba Brooklyn Row house, your jaw will hit the floor! Why? You have just stumbled onto the mythical ‘find’ that everyone hears about, but seldom sees. Lovingly maintained by one owner for the last 35 years(!), your new home needs nothing except your furniture! Pride of ownership is made manifest in stunning parquet and plank wood flooring, while immaculate vintage tile in the kitchen and both baths will make your decorator’s heart flutter. Exposed-beam vaulted ceilings and light, neutral color palate add to the open, airy feel of your fantastic find, while the abundant closet space, finished basement, and garage will make it a breeze to stay clutter-free! ALL appliances are included with the purchase, so you can kiss the days of dishpan hands and sore back from lugging baskets to the Laundromat GOODBYE! Walk to shops, transportation, schools, churches and park, or just stay home and enjoy a drink on your covered patio.
But HURRY- priced at_____, it will be gone in the twinkling of an eye!*! CALL…………at ………. To view TODAY!!
If you practice these 6 steps, you will start seeing more calls and more money in your bank account.

Donald Trump Real Estate Expert does it Again! The Red Carpet Program is the Elite Coaching Program for Real Estate Investors, Beginner to Expert. Get Started Today with the Red Carpet Elite Program.
The Red Carpet elite program is so much more than just another coaching program. It has a lasting impact on the way you build a successful real estate business. The Red Carpet Elite Program is truly the result of years of hard work and driven by this obsessive attention to every detail. Now… Traditionally, coaching programs are designed around the actual Coach. But the problem is, is that when your coach tells you their plans for your future… You increase your opportunity for failure.
I figured out a way to develop a training program that will give you specific plans based on your goals, not mine! Allowing you to achieve maximum results.
In 1997 I started my career in real estate by myself… trying to figure it all out.
In 1999 I was officially a FULL Real Estate Investor.
In 2001 I officially closed 46 deals… using the help of my mentor.
In 2004 I began teaching other students how to achieve the same level of success.
In 2008 I became the Lead Trainer of Donald Trumps REI Education company. Teaching his mentors and coaches how to successfully train their students.
In 2011 – Is the biggest leap forward since my original trainings. Its called the Red carpet elite program. I’ve taken the last 14 years of experience, the thousands of students I trained and the hundreds of students I’ve personally worked with and have packaged Everything in the Red Carpet Elite Program.
It all starts with Finding out what your TRUE goals are, Your Level of Experience, Your Age, How much Time you have to dedicate to your new business, Your Passion and what motivates YOU.
If you’re like me, I want someone to educate me on the same playing field, not above my head or tell me to do things that don’t follow my goals. To insure your success, I must be able to KNOW you First. I’ve developed a special goal sheet that you will fill out and send back to me. This goal sheet gives me a precise understanding of your goals, and how you learn.
With this information, I can know help you develop a winning game plan to get your journey started. You now have a roadmap, direction, and all the information you’ll need to begin this profitable business. If you Start RIGHT, you can achieve so much more than most traditional investors can achieve in a lifetime.
The Red Carpet Elite program gives you 3 Days of LIVE Training with me… allowing you a hands-on experience. Nothing beats having visual hands on training. Your training can be in your own back yard or anywhere in the country. No need to figure out when, where and how. We schedule this around your schedule, giving you the absolute best time to invest in your future.
The red carpet elite 3-day in-field training will give you the best chance of speeding up the learning curve. Giving you a true look inside the ropes of the business. Evaluating neighborhoods, inspecting properties, building your power team members, structuring offers, in-person meetings with sellers, reviewing contracts and setting up closings. Learning it all right by my side. Your Confidence will jump leaps and bounds.
Your journey begins with the Red Carpet elite program, but it doesn’t stop there. You will need continued support as you follow the path of a successful real estate investor. You’ll have questions, you need a second set of eyes, and sometimes a kick in the butt. This is why we are giving you 6 Full Months of phone and email support with ME. You’re not going to speak with an hourly employee reading out of a book. Just ME! Because Your Success is ultimately my success.
Another thing that I’m really excited about with the Red Carpet elite program is our Launch Creation Kit.
Starting any business on the right foot requires that you look great. And.. what I mean by that is that you need to have a professional image, a look that will carry on for years to come. With the Red Carpet Elite program, we will design a company logo that will impress anyone. But it doesn’t stop here, you are not only going to have a custom professional logo, we are giving you 250 business cards to get you started. We will design the right business card for you and your business. The one that gets everyone’s attention.
We are also going to design 4 custom marketing plans for your properties. Your support isn’t just having a conversation with me. It’s about creating a specific marketing plan to help you sell your properties quickly so you can profit even sooner. Our marketing plans have proven to sell properties sooner and generating more profits per property. Our unique marketing methods will surely give you the confidence to sell what you just bought. Something not taught by many investors.
With our VIP Website design, you’ll have a stunning website that will blow you away.
The Red Carpet Elite VIP Website design gives you a unique graphic header, content based on your business with a pleasing and simple function for your visitors. You are now able to market to the entire world thus increasing the amount of business you’ll receive. Combine this with 6 months of website management, you’re on your way to building a modern business with unlimited potential.
Just by having a website today isn’t good enough anymore. This is why we will set up an automated social marketing platform. Leveraging the 3 fastest growing sites on the web, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Funneling them back to your website. With our search engine friendly marketing, you’ll be on your way to the top of all the major search engines out there including Google, Yahoo, and Bing. This is really a giant leap forward for your business!
With the Red Carpet Elite Program, you don’t have to be tech savy, learn html code or even understand how to use a website or social media. We will automate everything for you keeping it simple.
We also added a HD Video Camcorder so you can easily create virtual tours of your properties and record inspections. You can also use it to record small presentations explaining to people about your business. Post them on your Youtube channel and your done!
The Red Carpet Elite Program is an ALL in One program designed to launch your real estate business faster… regardless of age, experience or the amount of time you can dedicate to it. But… Without compromising the latest technology for building your business for years to come. I think that The Red Carpet Elite program is one of the BEST coaching programs you’ll find that will speed up your success.

Real Estate Investor Websites
To be a successful real estate investor today, you must be aware of the new technology especially when it comes to the Internet. As the Internet presence grows, so do the amount of resources you can use to grow your business. Using these resources can help educate you, save you time, and expose your business to a lot of people. Now, there are many real estate investor websites out there, but how reliable are they?
One of my favorite real estate investor websites is www.zillow.com, but you must understand how to use it before you say the numbers are off. This site will give you a lot of information including property values, location and similar sales. I’ve asked a lot of real estate investors out there what they thought about this site and most of them have told me that the numbers were off, so they stopped using it. This was sad to hear because just like any tool, you must learn how to use it before you can see results. Lets review some of the basics for www.zillow.com.
Real estate investor websites like www.zillow.com use the cost per square foot sold to give property values. The more homes sold, the more accurate the numbers will be. Let me give you an example of what I mean.
You want to determine the average cost per sqft. Pull similar sales from www.zillow.com. Remember, the similar sales properties need to be similar to the potential property. The same square foot, bedrooms, baths, location, and date sold. Don’t pull similar sales from 6 months ago as the market seems to change on a monthly basis.
Take 4 Similar Sales (Minimum)
Comp 1 – Sold Price divided by Square Foot = Sold price per square foot
Comp 2 – Sold Price divided by Square Foot = Sold price per square foot
Comp 3 – Sold Price divided by Square Foot = Sold price per square foot
Comp 4 – Sold Price divided by Square Foot = Sold price per square foot
Take these 4 numbers (Sold price per square foot) and add all 4 numbers. Then divide these numbers by the total amount of comps (In this example 4) This gives you the average cost per square foot sold. Then multiply this number by the total square feet of the potential property your interested in. This should give you the after repaired value (ARV) for that property. Now, there are several real estate investor websites online that can help you determine your after repaired value. We are using www.zillow.com as an example for this article. You can google many of these sites but keep in mind that determining the ARV is the most important number when calculating an offer. The ARV is what the home should sell for when you are ready to sell it. So you must know what it’s worth before you buy it. You make your money when you buy and realize your profit when you sell. Never forget this!
Now you may be thinking that these similar sales are off. They could be? Let’s say that back in 2005 these homes sold for $500K and there have been no sales since then. Zillow.com would say that the homes are still worth $500K because nothing has told it differently. On the other hand, lets say there have been some foreclosure sales, then zillow.com would adjust those numbers which could bring down the values. Zillow.com also takes a radius of homes so if there are condos across the street, these values may lower the values. Always be sure that you are pulling the properties that are similar so you will have the most accurate numbers to determine the properties value.
Here are some tips when working with real estate investor websites:
* Never rely on any one source, use multiple sites and compare.
* Only pull the similar sales of homes that are comparable as far as size, style, bedrooms, baths, lot size, date sold and location.
* Use a minimum of 4 similar sales when calculating property values.
* The After Repaired Value (ARV) is the most important number when determining an offer.
* Use the Internet for resources to help start and grow your business.
* Use these guidelines for any real estate investor website.
Pulling property values are extremely important in order to make an intelligent offer. You can always use a Realtor for these numbers, which may be more accurate because most homes sold, are sold through the multiple listing service (MLS). You can also use real estate investor websites to find tax values, power team members, owners phone numbers, repair costs, business plans, marketing idea’s and education. So create a bookmark with your favorite sites and start exploring all of the resources available at your fingertips.

Real Estate Coaching & Mentors
There’s no secret that real estate mentoring will help educate, motivate, walk you through a proven system, and guide you in the right direction as you start your new journey for building wealth in real estate. It’s obvious that every successful person has a mentor that helps them grow their business. You rarely ever hear about these people but they are there working hard to help someone get better.
Here are some tips when finding a mentor for you and your business:
* A mentor that has had proven success.
* A mentor that is compatible with you.
* A mentor that is driven to help you, not use you.
* A mentor that can teach you what they know in a way that you understand it.
* A mentor that assists you through all faucets of the business.
* A mentor that doesn’t give up.
Real Estate mentoring is a challenging job because each student comes from all walks of life, different goals, different levels of education and experience. But they all have one thing in common, they want to make money.
My mentor taught me how to look at life differently. He said, Chris, stop worrying about the ending result, which was the money part. He said that I should focus on the task at hand and give 100% effort to do it right. Eventually conquering the mystery of real estate investing. I was taught that you must follow certain steps and execute them in a specific order if I wanted to make money in real estate. Then go out there and start studying people that understand how to market your business.
Once I did this, my business completely turned around. I let go of the thought of making money and focused my time on helping people that were in a bad situation. I soon realized that real estate mentoring was the turning point for me.

Real Estate Programs
There are countless Real Estate Programs that claim to teach you how to flip properties with little to no money and no credit. They advertise that you don’t need any money in the transactions and that you need no prior experience or education. To make matters worse, the market is flooded with hundreds of 'wanna-be real estate mentors', so-called real estate coaches and 'house flipping gurus' popping up everywhere. Are all these so called experts right or are they just trying to sell you something?
Well, I didn’t start this business with putting down large down payments. I had great credit but because I wasn’t begging the banks for loans, I didn’t need credit. I started this business learning how to control property instead of buying property. So nobody can tell me that you can’t get started without money, credit, or experience.
There are numerous ways to build wealth in real estate and the market is flooded with various strategies, techniques and systems. People tend to get so overwhelmed with this that they become completely confused with what to do and where to start. You end up buying the next big real estate program, attend free webinars, join real estate clubs and visit free 90 minute seminars. You eventually either become believing that the experts real estate program will fix all of your problems or you become skeptical that it could work for you. You become so immersed with so much information that you become very confused. What’s the solution?
I have one simple answer:
You must learn the 5 fundamental real estate strategies of wholesaling, retailing, lease-options, straight options and seller financing before you can build any wealth in real estate. But I never have a student try to become an expert at all 5 real estate methods starting off. I recommend that you focus on one or two strategies and become really good at that. So before you invest into a real estate program, make sure that you start off with one of the 5 real estate methods mentioned above. As you build more experience by closing deals, start learning another strategy, ultimately learning all 5 real estate methods that will ensure a long term career.

Real Estate Tips
A great real estate tip is to start working with the for sale by owners (FSBO). People that have For Sale By Owner (FSBO”S) signs in their front yard are just simply trying to save money by not hiring a Realtor to sell it. These people usually have had bad experiences with Realtors in the past. They would rather try to sell the property themselves and save money.
Dealing with these owners is usually easier than dealing with Realtors. We have seen many times when we make an offer to a Realtor; they never present it to the owner. Some of the offers we make are low and the Realtor knows if the owner accepts our offer that they will not make their commission. The positive side of dealing with FSBO”S is that we can find out their situation and offer them several different ways to solve their problem. Here’s another great real estate tip, create multiple solutions (offers) will increase your acceptance ratio of accepted offers. More accepted offers, the more money you will make.
The most important thing you can find out about the seller is to ask what their situation is. Do you need all cash today? Are you moving soon? Will you receive some cash now and accept payments? Are you getting a job transfer? And etc.
A) Be A FSBO’S Friend:
Owners are looking for people to solve their problem. The last thing you want to do is to make the seller feel uncomfortable. So be their friend. You will find that they will respond better to your questions if they feel comfortable with you.
B) Motivated Sellers:
When talking with sellers, find out their motivation to sell. If a seller responds to you with an attitude of, “I need all cash today”, and that they have the best home on the market, move on to your next lead. Don’t waste your time with unmotivated sellers.
C) Make 2-3 Offers:
Always offer 2-3 different offers and make the seller choose. By making several offers to the seller, the seller will feel that they will have to choose one. This is a great way to increase your chances of getting the deal.
D) Help People:
You are in the real estate business to help people. If you do not learn how to help FSBO”S with their situations, you won’t make any money. When people feel that you are there to help, they will be more responsive to you. This produces deal after deal giving you the best real estate tips.

Once I did this, my business completely turned around. I let go of the thought of making money and focused my time on helping people that were in a bad situation. I soon realized that real estate mentoring was the turning point for me.
Here are some tips when finding a mentor for you and your business:
• A mentor that has had proven success.
• A mentor that is compatible with you.
• A mentor that is driven to help you, not use you.
• A mentor that can teach you what they know in a way that you understand it.
• A mentor that assists you through all faucets of the business.
• A mentor that doesn’t give up.
Real Estate mentoring is a challenging job because each student comes from all walks of life, different goals, different levels of education and experience. But they all have one thing in common, they want to make money.
My mentor taught me how to look at life differently. He said, Chris, stop worrying about the ending result, which was the money part. He said that I should focus on the task at hand and give 100% effort to do it right. Eventually conquering the mystery of real estate investing.

Life As A Real Estate Investor
Becoming a real estate investor has been the best decision I’ve made in my entire life. It just didn’t teach me how to make money but how to be an entrepreneur. Having to make business decisions without being told how to do it and when to do it. I’m constantly learning the key elements that make a successful real estate business.
I started my business no different than the next guy. After several books, tapes, seminars and late night TV gurus, I was totally confused and had no idea how to invest in real estate the RIGHT WAY without using any of my money. I didn't let my confusion stop me, so after fumbling around, looking in the wrong neighborhoods and writing contracts wrong, I found myself looking in the mirror saying, I’m struggling getting ahead and that I was now in the same position that most people are in. Get up, go to work, get off, and watch TV. Get up, go to work, get off, and watch TV. The same old routine of just surviving.
It wasn’t until I started seeking advice from seasoned investors, putting the pieces together bit by bit, to discover what made these guys really successful. How they avoided the pitfalls and actually made money. I discovered there are 10 Executable Steps from start to finish that when followed, will ensure a successful close.
Now, Armed with what I call my 10 Executable Steps, I decided to give my 2 weeks notice, and let me tell you – my mom freaked out! But I packed up and moved to Texas with my brother, so there was NO Plan B. I took this theory and put it to work. I continued to follow these 10 Executable Steps with every deal I did. By the end of my 2nd Year, I had 46 deals under my belt, and the rest is history. I’ve owned single-family homes up to commercial, I have owned and operated 14 real estate companies and have helped marketed over 70 Real Estate Investment companies across that nation.
Here are some key points that make up a successful real estate investor:
· Find a mentor that can actually teach you this business.
· Always invest in yourself, not a new sports car, new furniture or clothes. Keep educating yourself on real estate and how to market your business.
· Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Take risks and challenge yourself. Get out of the same old routine of get up, go to work, get off, and watch T.V.
· Just do the opposite of most people and you’ll be ok. You can’t follow the majority if you want to become a successful real estate investor.
· Be creative with your marketing. Marketing your business is by far the most important thing you should focus on if you want to become rich in real estate.
· Never give up. Failure is never an option. Too many people never realize their full potential because they settle for less and quit just before their big break. Learn from your mistakes to make your business grow. Look at mistakes as just a learning lesson of what not to do.
· Learn how to execute your business with a series of fundamental steps from A-Z. Learning executable steps will teach you how to put the pieces together in a specific order to ensure a successful close.
· Believe in yourself because nobody else does. Any time we start something new, everyone voices their opinion about why you shouldn’t do it. I have heard this all my life but I used it to motivate me to prove them wrong. Picture yourself as though you’ve already arrived.
· Write down your goals and study them ever day. You can’t tell me that your goals are in your head, write them down. Read them every morning and every night.
· Develop a business plan on how you will reach those goals. Start off with short term goals and then the long term goals. Set priorities to keep you focused on the task at hand. Keep in mind that your goals can change, but write them down and how you will reach them.
· TAKE ACTION! Nothing happens by accident. Things happen because people take action.
Most people are scared to start something new; it’s normal. I think you should have a little fear with anything you do. One of the fears I had when I got started was to think that if this didn’t work, I’d have to go back to a job. I took that fear and used it in a way that it motivated me to take action. Being a Real Estate Investor has been more than I’ve ever expected it to be. I’m so glad that I didn’t listen to those negative people and followed my dreams. I hope you will do the same!

Make Money in Real Estate
"How do I Make Money in real estate?" This is always a big question beginners ask. I think the biggest question should be, "How do I take action with what I've learned?" Something we get so caught up with trying to make money and what winds up happening is that you don't. And because you're not making money, this puts you in a bad mood and because you're in a mad mood, you cant make any money. When someone questions me about making money in real estate, this tells me that they're questioning their confidence that they can make money in real estate. But, I don't blame you; I was in your shoes before. I know what you're going through. We get so overwhelmed with information, that is becomes confusing which lowers our confidence. You end up telling yourself that it's too much information and it's not for me.
If you want to make money in real estate, then we must identify the some key points:
If you want to make money in real estate, then we must identify the some key points:
- The first point I want to make is that most people become info junkies. meaning that you get so immersed with information. Thinking that you don't know enough about what you're doing.
- Not every real estate expert can teach real estate. Just because they've done 100 deals, doesn't mean that you can. You must find a real estate expert that can teach you in a way that you can understand it, so you can go out there and build some confidence.
- Take Action! Take what you've leaned and put it in motion. Otherwise, nothing will change.
there should be no doubt that you can make money in real estate so get out there and ind the right teacher. There experience, who they are and how many successful students they. People have always made money in real estate and there will always be an opportunity in this business because houses and businesses aren't going away anytime soon.
As I always say, you can either make money or excuses, but you can't make both.

How To Invest In Real Estate
There are several ways to invest in real estate with single family homes, condos, multi-family and commercial. But before you can invest in real estate, you must answer a few questions.
1) Do you have cash or access to cash to buy real estate?
2) Are you looking to replace your current income?
3) Do you have great credit?
4) Are you just looking for cash flow?
5) Are you looking to build long-term assets?
IF your answer to question number 1 was no, then you can only focus on a few strategies like wholesaling, lease-options and seller financing. Once you generate some income, you can move into other real estate strategies.
If you answered yes to the second question, I would be focusing on wholesaling, lease-options and seller financing.
If you answered yes to question number 3, I would be focusing on the real estate strategy retailing.
If you answered yes to question number 4, I would be focusing on lease-options and seller financing.
If you answered yes to question 5, I would be focusing on seller financing and retailing.
How to invest in real estate really depends on your goals and finances. First write down how much money you could use to invest in real estate. Second, write down a list of people that have money and would like to invest in real estate. If this equals $0, then you cannon focus on retailing/fix and flip. You will find yourself running in circles doing nothing. If you do have some money to invest, start with the foreclosures since there everywhere and you may wind up finding a great deal.
Answer the questions above truthfully and you can't say yes to all of them. I want you to pick one of two to start. this will untimely determine how to invest in real estate.
