Spend a Day with “The Diamond”
Spend a Day with The Diamond
A lot of people aren’t sure what the a day in the life of a real estate investor consists of…people ask me all the time if I look at property everyday or if I am always on the phone or if I am in my car all day driving all over the place and my answer…it’s none of those. So to answer the questions of those who are interested, I simply say to come and spend a day with me. Watch what it is that I do during the course of a day in the world of creative real estate. Maybe that will help some of you take the needed steps to free yourself from a nagging job or a miserable life of doing something that you don’t want to be doing in the first place.
But don’t be surprised if what we do during most of the day has little to do with real estate. Maybe you’ll see me make a few decisions and delegate a few tasks via email but depending on what I have going on, you may not see a lot of real estate jargon or property talk going on. In fact, my phone really does not ring as much as many people you may know. I’m not available 24/7 like so many others say they are and my life is not stressful or dictated by the ebb and flow of “the market.” However, I’ve set up systems so that my business goes on 24/7 regardless if I’m working it or not. It’s about working on your business instead of in your business. I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man.
By the way, what is this mythical creature called “the market.” It sounds more like some sort of jargon or excuse that I’m supposed to understand or relate to. It must be the fact that I don’t watch TV because I don’t really know what you’re talking about. You know, if one more person tells me that they have a slow business because of “the market,” I’m going to correct them and say “No, you have a slow business because of YOU. You are the reason that your business is slow, you are the reason that you are always complaining and you are the reason for your own reality.” Ah, what a breath of fresh air. Somebody stillspeak the truth. They try to talk some sense in him, 30 minutes later see there’s no convincing him. What more could you ask for? And the truth is that you can also change your current reality. Once you take accountability for your own results, there is a freedom that comes from that. But to do that, you’re probably going to have to do some things differently than what you are doing right now. It’s not harder, just different. Embrace change.
So my offer stands, drop me an email and we’ll set up a day. You can pick my brain as long as you pick up the tab on my 20 minute massage from the Massage Mob over at the mall. Yes, I will give in…and make some time to talk about real estate and maybe you can even force me to show you a property I have under contract. It will give me another topic to write my next article on. Until then….Diamond life goes on…and on…and on…like that Energizer bunny.
The real estate market is in a slump, and experts are predicting that this will continue through the rest of the year with only a slow recovery in 2010. The new government is trying to accelerate that process, and seeking to restore value to the housing which many people own.
The cautious will stand back and see how it all shakes out over the coming years. Fervently hoping that their own homes will not become worthless, they warily watch the unfolding of events in a helpless state of disbelief. When the market recovers, and the house prices return to a normal relationship with average incomes, they will congratulate themselves that they were able to hang on.
Meanwhile, those who seized the opportunity and studied the process of real estate investment, including short sales and lease options, will be steadily building their portfolio and accumulating wealth so that the recovery in the housing market will see them positioned as millionaires and able to suit themselves with regard to where they live and how much they work.
Both groups will feel that they have survived the housing crisis, and may congratulate themselves that they lived through the worst financial crisis for 80 years and emerged on the other side. The cautious will think that they did okay, but the real estate investors will know that they did very well.
As you are smart enough to be reading this, you already know how to separate yourself from the also-rans. Money flows to those who do something, and seeps away from those who just think about it, and that is a natural law in every aspect of life. The fear of making mistakes affects us all, and is only overcome by accepting that to make a mistake is a very positive lesson, and advances our knowledge and experience in the direction we are taking, bringing us closer to our goals. The person who wins is the person who has tried just one more time than he has failed. Make a plan, set your sights, and start working towards your success.

Answer to question 8 from last Sunday’s Blog about TOP TEN Rehab items….
Get a C.L.U.E. report before you purchase a property? What is this? Hint: Provides history. www.choicetrust.com
Answer: Did you ever go into a house or property and have a feeling that something happened to this structure but it is difficult to pinpoint. Here are some ideas to help you with this feeling:
- Speak with the neighbors to see if they can recall anything about the structure in question. Fire, Flood, etc.
- Go to the county where the structure is located and see if they can provide you a historical archive of the property. History of violations, liens, permits pulled, etc.
- Purchase a C.L.U.E. ® (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange) Report - The C.L.U.E. ® Personal Property report provides a seven year history of losses associated with an individual and his/her personal property: flood, fire, etc…

Answer to question 7 from Sunday’s Blog about TOP TEN items….
7) When you are finished rehabbing, based on the age of your property you may need a four point inspection. What is this and what is it for?
Answer: Insurance companies and state counties will grandfather in single family homes that are not up to existing code regardless of the home’s age. If you decide to refinance the home or pull permits to rehab it, the home’s age may become an issue. The age of the home starts to become a factor when it passes its thirtieth birthday. Some counties have different age parameters but you get the idea.
Insurance companies want to make sure the house has been brought up to code before they issue an insurance policy. During a Four Point Inspection the insurance company looks at the following to see if they have been bought up to code and functioning:
a) Roof
b) Electrical
c) Plumbing
d) Heating & A/C systems
P.S. Make sure you have the water and electric turned on at the time of the inspection.
