So let me tell ya about my weekend:

1. Had a talk with a Michigan real estate investor who has sold 85 pieces of land – bought and sold – using Ebay to real estate investors all over USA in the last 12 months. Gave him a tip on using another popular site to bump his sale price. Learned something extremely valuable about buying and selling pieces of land from him; a market that I virtually know nothing about till Sunday.

2. Had a talk with 2 very sharp Michigan real estate investors who have 20 short sale deals in the pipeline right now. They are working on a brand new technique to fix credit for their first time home buyers that should speed up the process of going from bad credit to “decent enough” credit by half or more. Don’t have to tell you that you can flip more foreclosures this way.

A large part of the first time home buyer market has bruised credit. Know how to fix credit and fix it fast can help you sell more houses in Michigan no matter where you live. Taught them some advanced level strategies to building their own mini little private bank and a giagando list of wholesale investors in a matter of weeks on Saturday.

3. Had a conversation with Rodney Townsend, Ijlal Inner Circle member and a very very sharp real estate investor, who is currently doing a short sale in Romulus and he wanted to pick my brain on how to flood his ROTH IRA with the profits from his real estate deal even he just opened his ROTH IRA

What came out on the conversation was let the ROTH IRA buy the second lien for ten cents on the dollar – once the house flips, the ROTH IRA will get a large chunk of profits from the retail flip. So that got me thinking about real estate notes but I am too busy right now and cannot distract myself into something new. Well I meet another gentleman on Sunday who is running an entire business, buying and selling notes in Macomb County. I am going to take him out to lunch next week, shut up and learn from him.

4. Took Nora out to dinner last night to Andiyamo in Bloomfield Hills. There service is beyond extraordinary no matter when you go there but last night was a little different. One of the mysteries in life that I cannot solve is why majority of real estate investors in Michigan real estate pretend to be secret agents?

Majority of them don’t tell anybody who they are, what they can do for them, actively seek out help, and network with purpose instead of collecting business cards? They should go to Andiyamo in Bloomfield Hills and let Amber wait on them. I eat out a lot and this is the first time in five years that I have walked out of a restaurant, and next morning I still remember the name of the person who waited on us.

You know why that is? Because she must have told me her name 6 times; specifically asked us to come next time and ask for her at least 5 times; told us that she is going to take care of us the next time when we come there at least 4 times.

When was the last time you told anybody what you do or want to do in real estate in Michigan?

My weekend was extraordinary but that is the fun of teaching Quick Start 2007 Bootcamp for three days. Somebody asked me where does all my energy and enthusiasm comes from? They were surprised that standing on my feet for almost 10 hours every day, three days in a row, with virtually no breaks, staying late every day till 7:30pm to talk to the ones who stayed back – I am still flying high.

I told her that it comes from being surrounded in a room full of smart Michigan real estate investors who want to start and grow their businesses, from talking to investors who come from all corners of Michigan and bring their invaluable experiences with them so I learn something new too because every time you teach; you learn something from your students too.

The last three days were plain awesome. You should have been there. The next Quick Start 2007 is on April 27, 28, 29. Half of the seats (I teach small groups 10-15) are already spoken for so do stake your enrollment if you are coming before the doors are closed again.

It is 3 days intensive, one on one with me, no outside speakers, no home study courses or other expensive seminars to buy. 100% focus on Michigan real estate and how to make it all work for you in 2007. As usual there is a 100% risk free enrollment guarantee – sit in for the whole first day; don’t like what you hear; get your tuition back plus I will toss you a $250 Gas Card for your inconvenience. Simple as that.

I had a great time this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I hope your weekend was as fun as mine.
