Build success in today’s REAL ESTATE market and LEARN THE HARDEST PART OF FLIPPING:

FINDING A DEAL!

Mary and her crew just completed house #91 as a flip and are booked with projects through beginning of 2014.

1. What has changed in the rehab game since 2008?
2. Like a marine…you must adapt.
3. How we found our five most profitable flips in 2012 (five different ways)
4. What to do with a deal once you’ve got it.

Mary and her ex-husband Michael have been flipping houses, buying to hold and wholesaling deals since 1987. Mary and her crew just completed house #91 as a flip and are booked with projects through beginning of 2014.

Mary began flipping in California in 1998 after moving here from Tampa Bay. She went broke in the market decline of 2007 when she got stuck with a million dollar plus wine country rehab. It has taken 6 years to recover but she gets up every day and moves forward as the life of a flipper is repleat with “rags to riches” cycles.

Come listen to the methods that Mary and Michael are using to secure inventory in the hottest market in a generation and just as important what they do to the homes to get the maximum profit out of them.

Summary: Bruce Norris teaches this full-day, step-by-step seminar on the special skills and strategies you need, not just to succeed, but to supersede all boundaries of normal “success” in California Quadrant 4!

Details

The market has drastically shifted…has your real estate buying business?

Are you experiencing difficulty finding deals compared to 2012? If so, you’re not alone. California has leaped from a flat market to a scorching hot market, and the way investors are finding deals has drastically changed. More importantly, it takes an entirely new set of skills and strategies to make success happen in this new market

But don’t worry! Let Bruce Norris – the undisputed expert on California real estate — teach you step-by-step the special skills and strategies you need, not just to succeed, but to supersede all boundaries of normal “success.”

Join Bruce and other investors at his upcoming seminar, “How to Make a Million Dollars Maximizing the Next 24 Months” on April 6th in Sacramento with NORCALREIA. This is the first how-to strategy session Bruce has taught to the general public in almost two years – and we don’t know when, or if, it will be repeated. Here’s what’s at stake, in Bruce’s own words:

“The most difficult thing for investors to grasp is that Quadrant 4 buying and selling takes a completely new set of skills and strategies. Not understanding the changes will have investors running in circles until they’ve missed their window of opportunity. And this cycle can be the most explosive for wealth growth and the shortest in length. I fully expect to see many of our network become millionaires in the next 24 months by taking advantage of this market.” – Bruce Norris

Opportunity is here! Can you hear it knocking? Despite what some might tell you, investors that have shifted gears know exactly what they have to do to succeed today and they are buying up a storm. Don’t miss out! You can do it too. It’s not “magic.” It’s not “luck.” It’s not even “who you know.” Success in this market comes from applying a set of predetermined skills and strategies – or in plain language, “know-how.” And it’s downrightformulaic. Once you have the formulas, you’ll know how to use them again and again in a market like this one.

At this exclusive one-day event, discover everything you need to know to make millions in the current California real estate market, including how to:

• Avoid pitfalls of selecting the wrong entity
• Understand valuation in an increasing market
• Market to sellers directly
• Get ideas and strategies for negotiating directly with sellers
• The secrets of “subject to” buying
• Buy from sellers missing in action
• Add square footage
• Hold vs. Sell and which one is right for you
• Make use of Quadrant 3 strategies that still work (time is running out)
• Know when it’s time to get off the bus
• And much more…

Act now to claim your spot at this ambitious, one-day, intensive (jam-packed) seminar featuring:

• New, never-before-seen content by Bruce Norris
• Bruce’s award-winning favorite Quadrant 4 material pulled from over 1,500 pages in the California “Only” Investors Series
• Proven strategies from Bruce’s best-selling “Multi-Millionaire Maker”

Ready to be a millionaire? Attend this seminar! Get crucial concepts, new buying strategies to explore, and even more ways to take your business to the next level in the next 24 months!

The Norris Group is so excited this market has arrived that we’ve completely restructured our hard money lending programs to help investors buy and flip, buy and hold, and even build as many new homes as possible within the next 24 months.

Don’t sit on the sidelines and let this opportunity for true wealth-building pass you by! All it takes is the right “know-how” to take advantage of this hot market. With decades of experience and proven investment savvy to his credit, Bruce Norris can give you the step-by-step strategies to exponentially explode your wealth in the current California real estate market.

The release of The California Comeback report in 1997 gained him much notoriety and its accuracy led many California investors to financial freedom. His January 2006 release, The California Crash, was an in-depth look into the California market correction and the statistics behind Bruce’s predictions.

It’s not hard to see the market has changed. Combine Wall Street buying demand, investor demand, former foreclosed owners reemerging, and standard buyers looking for homes and you’ve got a market that’s operating at a very “new normal.” Is it fake or is this for real?  Are you ready for the change that’s about to take place? Join Bruce Norris as he explores:

• The importance of inventory mix
• Pent up buyer demand becoming reality
• Wall Street’s participation and what that means for investors
• Historically low interest rates and the dominos that follow
• Where the deals are now and will be in the future

Investors will find deals in new places that were nonexistent last year. They may even realize new skillsets are needed. Find out the latest stats, trends, and where The Norris Group is focusing its energy moving into 2013.

Ever wonder how “that” investor was so profitable, organized and happy?

They run their small businesses with success in mind.

Learn what it takes to run a business – a successful one!
Organization, communication, relationships, marketing, time management,
systems and procedures, rehab evaluation, keeping the job on time and on
budget, keeping track of all the money, bills, insurance. Taxes? – Uncle
Sam wants his half. Staying out of trouble and profitable at all times.

Flipping. Do you have a detailed, written plan to determine and track
EXACTLY how much money you are PLANNING to make? Rentals. What is your
annual ROI? What is the cap rate you are looking for and what are you
receiving now? How can you increase the value of your property, thereby
raising rents?

There are many hats to wear in running a real estate business. Staying ahead
of the game, being in control at all times, while remaining stress-free and
predictably profitable are key to a successful outcome every time.

“Getting into the game and building your business in today’s market”

We have had a fabulous year of in-depth, hands on education.

Tools for today’s diverse market.

Some topics to be covered next month:

• Where are these deals?
• How YOU find a good deal.
• Have your ducks in a row.
• Don’t be a pretender.
• Just because it’s a “deal” doesn’t mean it’s a “good” deal.

Don’t leave money decisions to others!

• Learn where the deals are at.
• How you can find good deals!
• Financing banks, seller and hard money loans.
• If you don’t ask for seller financing, you will never get it!
• Get rich becoming an “Arranger” – a ‘Transactional Engineer’

Good deals are NEVER “found” – but they ARE created!
