Georgia Kapsalis , owner of Added Value Realty was my guest on the newest episode of Michigan Real Estate Investing Radio.

She is a different kind of a Realtor, working exclusively with real estate investors in the Wayne, Macomb, Oakland counties who want to buy bank foreclosures.

Great thing about Georgia is that she is also a real estate investor and she knows the game. One of the obstacles that new Michigan real estate investors face is finding and working with real estate agents who “get it” and can help them negotiate good discounts and find good REO’s.

Georgia has been doing this for a very long time and she knows how to find and negotiate good REO deals.You can contact her at (248) 787-7325 or email her at Georgia@AddedValueRealty.com .

Bernard Reed of Chesterfield Township, Michigan is a very different kind of Michigan real estate investor.

Sure he is doing it for the money just like the rest of us but he has added a twist to the whole foreclosure buying thing that I have never seen before in the world of Michigan foreclosures.

Call it real estate investing with compassion.

Listen to the MP3 and you will be happy that I just handed you a very good advantage over your local competition and a chance to actually help homeowners in Michigan who are in foreclosure.

Make money, help homeowners and build an incredible brand based on compassion.

You can reach Bernard at 1-866-312-4077. His company name is FIS Consultants based out of Sterling Heights, MI.

August 2, 2006 Episode. Rita is an Ijlal Inner Circle member and a part time real estate investor in Michigan with a very busy life ; kids, family, and full time job; and yet she displays a sense of businesses that I find lacking in most full time real estate investors.

There are two important parts of this interview that stuck me as very unusual:

1. She is very flexible in her business strategy toward buying and selling bank foreclosures. Started looking into rentals, ended up in flips and now added lease options to her arsenal. The last deal she did is around $40,000 payday. It is her only fourth or fifth deal so that is pretty awesome. But the idea is do whatever it takes to close and get a check.

2. What she is doing right now in Lease Options and if you pay close attention you will see a very smart strategic business plan of actually guaranteeing that the tenant-buyer will close on the deal 12 months from today. I wonder why most never thought or implemented this as methodically as she is doing.

July 5, 2006 Episode. Interview with Mark Ijlal Inner Circle member Rodney Townsend on buying and selling Michigan bank foreclosures at rapid pace.

Rodney has literally built his Michigan real estate business in front of my eyes in the last 12 months - fronm random flips to getting private money, doing not one but 6-8 simultaneous Short Sales in Michigan, buying REO's and doing Lease Options - he is doing it all.

I think this is a must download for people who are really new to the game and wondering if anybody is making money in Michigan real estate in 2006.
