Since many people wanted to know how to apply the concepts Dean Graziosi teaches in his books in real world real estate situations, Dean went out filmed a new series to show everyone how he used creative thinking to make the very deals happen that led him to wealth. We will continue to post a new deal each month for the extent of the series.

Unlike many other so called real estate investment “pros” or “gurus” selling books or courses, Dean is actually a real estate investor, is still a active investor, and made his money in real estate, not from selling books about it.

What steps happen, when they occur, and how each presents its own unique and different investment opportunity.

Many of us think of a foreclosure as an auction sale that starts when everyone gathers around the courthouse steps and begins to bid on a property. Once the gavel comes down, it’s over, and the whole thing might take an hour to complete. But technically speaking, a foreclosure is a long series of legal processes that unfold over a period of weeks and months, one after another, culminating in the repossession of property by the lender (or in some cases, by a taxing authority or other interested party).

Cap Rate, or capitalization rate, is a popular calculation used by real estate investors. Using Capitalization Rate, an investor can:

1. Determine the expected net operating income based on the property’s listed price as compared to other similar properties sold recently.
2. Calculate the price you should offer for a property based on the prevailing cap rates in the area and the net rental income of the property being considered.
3. Using the value/asking price and the net income of a property, you can determine its cap rate and compare that to prevailing rates in the area.

The April 9th Conference Call has been completed and was another great call! Please feel free to leave feedback here about the call!
