This is NOT your average real estate book. We don't assume you've got a massive amount of money to invest. We're not going to throw you into a high-risk, low-reward market that puts you in a precarious position. We ARE going to show you how to build your recession-proof real estate empire from ground zero. We're going to assume you have no money to start with and give you a system to implement to find massive success in the real estate industry. This book is for the average person who wants to buy their first couple of properties (actual homes, not giant complexes or corporate buildings), who probably hasn't invested in anything before and is interested in using real estate to leverage their way to financial freedom. The strategies in this book are VERY different from those mentioned in other real estate books. Most large-scale real estate strategies are constantly in danger of cyclical downturns. Every ten years or so, we hear about a market crash, a market downturn, or the shrinking of the real estate market. And every ten years, many developers and investors are shattered, and their strategies have no way of helping them out of their misery. Nor is this house flipping in 90 days -- the sensational high-risk strategy that should be reserved for television shows. The strategy we’re going to give you is different. We're going to give you several sound economic principles that will not only help you endure a recession but thrive while others are struggling. Instead of wondering if you're going to pay off your house by the time you retire, your house is going to fund your retirement. How? By using the power of the 3-2-1 Formula. The 3-2-1 Formula is a very specific strategy that helps you buy your first three-story multifamily home in a way that allows you to have one level of the house to yourself while renting out the other two, making your home a 3-2-1 profit center! Here's what you'll learn: • The All-Important Rising Tide Rule: If you only have ONE takeaway from this book, this is it. This simple rule alone will give you a head start to find the perfect profitable house without getting caught in emotional decisions. • Leverage Other People's Money With The 10X Rule: Why use your money when this strategy helps you make a profit with very little upfront to pay? You can even get the government to pay for your contractors. The risk isn't on you. • How To Find The Holy Grail Tenant: If the thought of being a landlord sounds scary, don't worry. We'll go over how to weed out bad types of tenants as well as protect yourself with multiple layers of security to make sure you keep getting paid. • Avoid The Vicious Cycle (And Potential Bankruptcy): We'll prepare you to survive the inevitable rise and fall of the market, show you how to read and respond to trends and control your risk as much as possible so you can avoid big losses and be comfortable in a recession! • Make Everything Easier With The Toddler Rule: It can be difficult to get loans and all the paperwork approved on time…but follow this rule and you'll demonstrate you're trustworthy and build relationships to make the process as smooth as butter. By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to close your first real estate deal, and we can't wait to hear about your success. If the thought of using real estate to leverage your way into financial freedom and travel the world appeals to you, then you're reading the right book.
