Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™! - The Process
Real Smart Investor™ has
developed a revolutionary approach to
teach people how to effectively invest
in real estate. Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™ is modeled on
adult learning techniques practiced in
universities across
Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™ has coined the term “participation- training™” to describe the most effective method of teaching adults. What is “participation- training™” and how can it help you become a successful real estate investor? We’re glad you asked.
Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™ throws out the books and the theory and actually takes you through the entire process of a real world, real live, real estate deal! Everything we do, you are right there to witness, first hand. You don’t have to refer back to a book or call your teacher to ask a question, you actually participate with us.
Innovation on the Internet makes this all possible. By using the Internet you can be right there with us as we consider which properties to purchase. You will hear the investment real estate experts discuss which property to buy and why. You’ll be able to ask them why they choose this property over that one. You’ll be right there when they write the offer to purchase. You’ll witness the back and forth of the contract negotiations. The whole process will be transparent to you as it unfolds right before your eyes.
Participation is the best way to train, for adults with careers and families, that’s a proven fact. Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™ let’s you utilize your unique skills and insights throughout the process. Your participation engages the mind and makes learning fun. Before you realize it, you’re ready to buy your first investment on your own. That’s what makes our method so successful.
So, if you’re ready to become a Real Smart Investor™, here’s how we work.
1. When you register for Real Smart Investor you will receive a welcome kit with all the pertinent information needed to succeed in the program.
2. Each participation-training requires a six (6) month commitment.
3. We begin with an orientation of what to expect, when to expect it, and operational protocols.
4. You “buy” (not literally – we buy, you learn how) your first investment property by working with the
professionals.
5. We locate the property – you’re there; we buy the property – you’re there; we renovate the property – you’re there; we resell the property – you’re there; we take our profit to the bank – you’re there, and now you’re ready to fly “solo.”

Curriculum

b. How to maximize your Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™ experience.
c. Getting started is easy.
Phase
One – Pre-Purchase
Phase one will help you understand what must be done before the investment is purchased. Here issues such as location, market fluidity, financing, maintenance and renovations, carrying costs, and positioning for resale must all be considered and resolved before you sign on the dotted line.
You will learn how the professionals strategize to minimize the risk of loss and maximize the profit of the investment. You’ll understand where the emphasis should be placed and where most of the energy is spent. This will help you immeasurably at the start of real estate investing career.
Phase
Two – Actual Purchase
Phase two brings you feet first into the very competitive real estate market prepared to do battle. Girded with the plan we’ve laid out, you work along with us to choose the best investment among the many properties evaluated. You will be in the midst of negotiations and understand how a contract is written to benefit the investor not the owner.
You’ll witness and gain insight into appraisal techniques, the title and closing process, and the all important financing of the investment. You’ll be working along side us as we work with all the professionals needed to make the deal successful. When we have a question or issue, they’ll help us get it resolved, and you’ll be right there to experience it all.
At closing we will review and interpret the HUD-1 so that it makes sense. This is Real World, Real Live, Real Estate Investing™ at its best! You will be so up close and personal you’ll hear the keys jingle as they’re handed over to us.
Phase
Three – Ownership and Renovation
In Phase three, we sweat the small stuff. The property now belongs to us. We’ve got to make sure that it is secured properly. Hazard insurance must be maintained on the property. We’ve also got to “prep” the property for renovations. Learn how to interview construction contractors and separate the wheat from the chaff. Work with us as we oversee the contractors while they remodel the property and make it “buyer ready.”
Phase
Four – Preparation for Resell
Phase four puts you in the home stretch as we begin to market for a buyer and finish up the renovation of the property. You’ll understand why this is an ongoing phase throughout the entire process. You’ll learn the most effective and proven marketing strategies used by successful investors. You’ll know what to say and how to say it, so that you will be in compliance of the law. There are no “flipping” violations when the professionals are working with you.
Phase
Five – Contract to Closing
Phase five is the fun part; that’s when we resale and go to the bank! But, before we get to cash that check, we’ve got to negotiate the best price and help the buyer to close. We need to know how to “shield” our profits from undue “taxability.” And, we’ve got to evaluate what we did right and what we did wrong to make us even better the next time around.
You’ve made it to the finish line! If you’ve been diligent, attended training regularly and passed our tests you’ll get your Real World, Real Time, Real Estate Investing™ course Certificate of Success.
Welcome
