And Start Reaping A Fortune In Today’s Up-And-Down Real Estate
Markets Easier Than You Ever Dreamed Possible!
Wealthy,
successful real estate investors know that their success (and
financial security) is largely determined by how fast the values of
their real estate investments rise or fall… regardless of what
investment strategies they use.
They use a completely different ‘playbook’ than average investors to determine exactly when and where they buy, sell and hold their real estate. In the charts and free video below, you’re going to see inside their world, and know precisely… 1) “What” these super successful investors really do to create massive wealth... 2) “Why” they appear to always ‘magically’ be in the right place at the right time... …and most importantly… 3) “How” these elite insiders are effortlessly building their fortunes and how you can easily do the same things they do, once you know their secret... To get you started, take a look at this simple illustration: Let’s say you invested $20,000 in a typical leveraged deal on a house in the Washington, D.C. area. (In this example, we’re using a “buy and hold” strategy because it’s easiest to show, but the concept works for all strategies.) Here’s
what your total profit picture
Chart
#1 –
Washington D.C. I don’t know about you, but a $188,900 profit over a 26 year hold period is not very exciting… especially when there are easier ways to make a lot more than that. Now,
some people will immediately point out that since we only started
with $20,000, the $188,900 profit is a 945% ‘Return on Investment’
(“ROI”) … the big players see it differently. I mean, of course you could make “worse” investment decisions… but you don’t create massive wealth through real estate by employing mediocre strategies… and it shouldn’t take that many years to attain financial freedom. The main problem, and something I learned from more than 25 years of real estate investing and consulting, is to avoid turning your profits into losses… Do you see the two time periods in the chart above, where the local Washington D.C. real estate market actually went negative? (from 1980 through 1983 and again from 1990 to 1997) Well, if you owned real estate in that market during those times, you lost money.
"What
would happen if you just For Washington DC, if you simply: 1) Avoided the two time periods when the local market was tanking, 2) Stuck your money in a bank, 3) Sat on the couch, watching TV and eating Bon-Bons until the market recovered...
Your
total profit would That’s right… $1,011,092 higher than the “buy and hold” returns. Remember… in this simple example, you spent 10 of those years becoming a couch potato… taking no risk and doing no work! You simply avoided the losses during market downturns. ...and realized over $1 million more profit, had a 5,999.6% ROI… and ‘did nothing’ for 10 of those years.
Chart
#2 – Washington D.C. The combined results of both getting “in” and getting “out” at the right place and time are quite staggering… even if you pay full price for the property and add no other value. You see, real estate investing is similar to stock market investing, but with a much longer cycle. You’ve probably heard that most of the gains in the stock market happen over a relatively short time period. It’s true… if you’re in the stock market for only 17 specific days each year, you will capture nearly all of the upside profit and avoid all the loss periods. (The key, of course, is knowing in advance when each of those 17 days will occur!) The
most successful investors have learned With real estate, it’s a simple, predictable cycle:
Just take a look at any real estate (or stock market) appreciation chart – it’s a continuous repeating cycle. During a typical 7 to 10 year real estate cycle…
If you miss those surge periods, you lose… and are left holding the bag… waiting and hoping endlessly for the next appreciation up-cycle. You have no control whatsoever over the market, if you don’t know how to read cycles, you’re just along for the ride. That’s not the position you want to be in… don’t ever leave your fortunes (or your demise) up to Lady Luck. What makes real estate market timing especially exciting is that each local area has a different cycle… no two are alike! If you don’t understand market timing, the best you can hope for is… “Three steps forward, two steps back” In the chart below, notice that all it took to realize the extra $1 million profit jump was simply to avoid the down-market! Instead of holding through the long down cycle of 1990 to 1997, you sold once (in 1990) and then bought back (in 1997) …just before the market exploded. Notice that real home values actually declined in each of those years between 1990 and 1997. When you add up all of those annual losses for the entire seven year down-cycle, your property had lost so much value that it took almost the same number of years of strong appreciation just to get you back to break-even. Take a look at this…
Chart
#3 – Washington D.C. Your real estate success is, first and foremost, about knowing your local cycle and timing the market… everything else is secondary. The big, easy money comes from… Knowing
when to enter You may be starting to ask yourself… “Everything looks good in “2020 hindsight,” right? “There’s no way to know beforehand,” right? Wrong… Until now, that is! Most real estate investors did not have access to the same market-timing tools successful stock market traders have. Without these tools, you can’t possibly pick market cycle tops and bottoms. You’ve always heard that real estate is cyclical, haven’t you? You can clearly see the up-down “cycles” (blue line) in the chart above… but the blue “cycle” line alone can’t help you… it’s like driving forward while looking in the rear-view mirror. What top investors already know is that there are time-proven tools invented more than 500 years ago by ancient Japanese rice merchants that can help predict future markets. It’s a science called “Technical Analysis” – I learned it at Harvard Business School back in 1983. Here’s how it worked in the illustration above: Focus on the red and green lines. They’re called “Moving Averages.” Now, look inside those pink circles. See where the green line crosses the red line? They’re called “crossovers” – and they’re the “action triggers” used to determine when to buy and when to sell in the example above. Here are all the rules you need to know…
It’s that simple! No thinking involved. A robot or a kindergartner could do it. And there was nothing particularly unique or special about the Washington, DC illustration… but the end result was an extra million dollars with less effort and risk. Employing specific real estate investment tactics, strategies and procedures in any real estate market without first knowing what kind of market you’re in is like jumping into the middle of a raging river without first knowing if there’s a waterfall around the next bend. Even if you’re a great swimmer… you need to know what lies ahead before taking the plunge.
Matching
the correct real estate investment
It doesn’t have stop with just your backyard “local” market. Top real estate investors know that: If it works in their backyard, Then, It’ll work in your backyard too! That means…
The
playing field just got leveled…
Now you truly can live where you want and invest where it’s best… because there are always hot or emerging local markets “somewhere” - even when values are tumbling (or flat) in your own backyard. You can now capitalize on your superior knowledge of what’s really happening in anyone’s local market – long before even the true local investors see it coming. That was always the problem… We were taught to believe that you had to spend weeks, months or even years trying to understand local market conditions beyond your backyard… Not only is all that information now available at your fingertips… it’s better information than what the ‘local’ investor has. What if…
Instead
of “just” avoiding the losses, you also
After all, if you could read market cycles and know when and where not to invest, then the flip side of that same process is knowing when and where you should invest. The second key lesson of my long real estate career is that you have to get in at the right place and the right time to ride the gravy train upward… you’ll make drastically more money, working far fewer hours and with substantially less risk. How much more money? Take a look (and you better be sitting down!). (Click the play button to start this video.)

You should also remember… these examples presume you’d be paying full market value… so there was no “Forced Appreciation” - only “Automatic Appreciation” included in the profit. (I’ll explain the important differences between Forced and Automatic appreciation a little later.) So why hasn’t anyone (until now) been able to anticipate those cycles… and profit from them? Hold on tight…
You
are about to experience the most dramatic
breakthrough in the science of real estate investing since the “no-money-down” phenomenon of the late 1970’s. Here’s
my story…
Dear real estate investor, I just turned 50 years old. Virtually my entire adult life has been spent either consulting or doing entrepreneurial real estate deals. I’ve been an investor on a “big time” scale where just the legal fees alone on some deals were approaching the million dollar range. I’ve also been divorced and bankrupt… working out of a two-person office with no alternative but to pursue “no-money-down” real estate deals. … as I look back now, it was all good. I wouldn’t risk going back and changing a thing because we probably wouldn’t be sharing this moment in time together right now! And without all that direct, relevant real estate experience, what I’m about to show you would only be half-baked… and somewhat ‘academic.’
I've
Spent Most of My Adult Life
In other words… I’ve walked the walk. But what I’m going to say next is more important than all that real estate experience. I’m a number crunching maniac. And a darn good one. …been that way all my life... from my earliest childhood memories. When other children my age were watching “I Dream of Genie” or playing with their Barbie dolls or “GI Joes” – I was building charts and graphs. My favorite birthday gift of all time was “The World Atlas” – a large, thick, hardbound copy full of maps, charts and graphs. I was in third grade. For many months after that birthday, I stopped watching TV or going outside to play. …instead, I memorized The World Atlas. It was a weird time for my parents, they grew very concerned and wondered if they’d spawned some freak of nature! My obsession with numbers and charts never died, it just took different forms as I grew older. I earned my Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation in 1979, right out of college. In a grueling accounting exam competition, I finished in first place for the entire State of Pennsylvania and placed #8 in the entire USA. I spent the next three years with the most prestigious international accounting and consulting firm in the world… assisting big-time “national” real estate clients structuring mega-sized deals all over the country. I went back to grad school in 1982 and earned an M.B.A. from the prestigious Harvard Business School, (Class of 1984, Sec. ‘H’). I’ve been trying to “crack” the real estate investing “code” since the early 1980’s… it cost me millions of dollars in “trial & error” mistakes, lost opportunity costs and countless years of study. You see, my preferred style of real estate investing is going from county to county, and from state to state, cherry-picking the cream of the crop and moving on. I had full-time teams of acquisition, marketing and sales staff working for me. It was my responsibility to choose the markets we’d enter next. Even with that specialized knowledge, I made many of the same mistakes most other real estate investors make… thinking success was all about “the property.” It’s an easy mistake to make… I’d find a “good deal” and jump on it. Being so thick into the ‘trees’ it’s hard to see the ‘forest’ – never stopping to realize, the true meaning of the old real estate investors’ adage… Location, Location, Location. I always thought it meant being on the right side of the tracks, or in the right neighborhood, or, for commercial property, on the right side of the street. I was wrong. It’s not that those micro-location things are unimportant, it’s just that “location, location, location” really means you’ve got to be in the right market to start with. If
choosing the right neighborhood is I’d rather be an ‘average’ investor in a red hot market than an excellent investor in a declining market. I’ll make a lot more money with less effort and lower risk. Time is your only limited commodity. The more time you spend investing in crummy markets, the less time you’ll be invested in great markets. They call this “Opportunity Costs” – it’s the biggest expense of your life because what you’re really after is freedom. Freedom from worry and freedom from financial pressures. Freedom to do what you want. No one ever lays on their death-bed wishing they had spent more time working! So, taking a page out of the Politian’s playbook, I put a big sign on my office wall that read… “It’s the Market, stupid!” …more specifically, it’s the market cycle. Knowing the difference between hot, emerging markets and dead, declining markets was the difference between fabulous success or getting bogged down with a bunch of real estate ‘headaches’ and inventory. In
hot markets, everyone looks like a genius… In crummy markets, it’s a lot of work, a lot of risk, and very limited upside profits. Sometimes, in weak real estate markets… you can’t do anything right. Yuk! Finally, a few years ago, all the pieces fell into place… and we’re now stepping across the threshold. Whether you’re prepared for it or not… The
dawn of an entirely new Because of the convergence of four factors, you better start saying goodbye to the old days of real estate investing:
For most of my adult life, cracking the real estate market cycle code has been my mission. Several years ago, I actually did it… and it works! Ever since then, my life has been turned upside down creating a “user-friendly” version for all you non-number crunching maniacs out there! ;-) I’ve been locked-away in my home-office, tele-commuting with the best computer programmers in the world, seven days a week creating what you’re about witness. Until recently, the only break I took was to feed my horses and other animals twice a day… I sacrificed much getting this invention ready for you. It was quite common for several weeks to pass where I never left my farm, never even saw a paved road… just kept my nose to the grindstone. It’s finally ready!!

On July, 25 2006, after an investment of more than 15,000 man-hours of programming, design and management talent, I ‘sold’ a limited number of Charter Memberships to help beta-test the GreatHousingAlerts system. Within 10 days, I had more subscribers than I “wanted” and closed the doors on August 4th. Since that time, and except for two “platform” presentations where we offered a limited number of new memberships (that half the room took advantage of), I have not allowed any new members to join… although requests come in almost daily.

In a minute, I’m going to get a bit ‘technical.’ Before
we go any further, you need to You’ve heard statements like “The majority of all multi-millionaires achieved their wealth by investing in real estate.” Let’s look at why that’s true. All
Real Estate Wealth Comes Every aspect of real estate wealth or profits can be traced directly back to: 1) Leverage (Financial, Legal & Operating) 2) Appreciation (Forced & Automatic) Leverage Leverage refers to the ability to own or control a valuable asset without putting up all the money. You can achieve leverage by simply getting a mortgage loan. Other ways to achieve leverage include, for example, tying-up or controlling a property with an “option to purchase” or buying it via an installment contract. There are dozens of other ways to achieve leverage. Leverage is the heart of “creative” real estate investing… it’s the foundation underlying all “no-money-down” strategies. Here’s why: If you buy a house worth $100,000 and obtain a $90,000 mortgage loan, you have a 10:1 leverage ratio. You control the entire $100,000 asset but only put up $10,000 of your own cash. If that asset increases in value by 15%, it’s now worth $115,000. You made $15,000 (paper profit) on your $10,000 investment… or a 150% ROI. On the other hand, if the house loses 15% of its value, it’s now worth $85,000 and you’ve already lost your entire $10,000 investment and must come out of pocket and pay someone $5,000 to buy it from you. (It actually get’s uglier than that, because you also have transaction costs to fork over… they could be another $8,000 you’d have to pay just to unload the property.) You need to know when to maximize leverage… and how to avoid getting caught in the wringer of declining markets. There are many great investment strategies (and teachers) that have taken the ‘Art of Leverage’ to new heights… you should learn from them. The important point is this… Leverage multiplies the effects of appreciation (or decline)… it does not, by itself, create any wealth.
"Appreciation,
not leverage, In fact, if the market value declines – leverage can multiple that pain. That’s why leverage can be either beneficial or risky. Depending on the specific strategy, it can wipe you out in a falling market the same way it can make you very wealthy in a rising market. The key with using leverage is to make sure your use of it matches where your local market is in its cycle. Appreciation While I’ve used about every known form of leverage at one point or another, my “mission” has been to master the appreciation side of the equation… because that’s where the big money is! There are two types of appreciation: 1) Forced Appreciation (Skill, Hard Work, Risk, Limited Upside) As you saw in the videos above, every local real estate market is as unique as a fingerprint. When one market is crashing… another one is booming. They all have one common element. All
markets ultimately go up and down Supply & Demand That’s where Trend Analysis comes in. When

Always Use Time-Tested And Proven Methods Of ‘Trend Analysis’
You’ve already seen the million dollar difference market cycle timing makes, even if you invest only in your local market. You’ve also seen the $13 million difference if you simply re-invest in hot markets, instead of waiting out a local market cycle downturn by putting your money in a bank. There’s only one source for that kind of information… GreatHousingAlerts.com But, that wasn’t always the case. What you really want to know (for any market) is whether or not home prices are rising or falling, by how much, for how long and if the trend will continue.
