Working with a Realtor
June 17th, 2008 10:51 PM

Well, life has gotten in the way and it has been a long time since I have blogged... Anyone singed up is going to get a rash of updates, but they'll be shorter than usual.  My apologies, as business has been blooming as spring has.  Those of us who are buys, are not about to look at the economy and complain.  the truth is, there are buyers, there are houses, and there is money--all the elements needed for a great transaction.

Speaking of transaction, take a listen to Bill Kramer who was my guest a while back.  He is one of the owners of Envirian Real Estate and has been in the business for 20 years.  On the show, he talked about the "real deal" with realtors, commissions splits--it's all out there.  so if the relationship with a realtor seemed a mystery, Bill will shed some light.  he was a GREAT guest and lots of great stories after all those years in real estate.

Carl Fisher from EntrustCama was our guest talking about a little known, totally legal, amazing way to build your IRA beyond what you could possibly contribute with your regular yearly IRS allowances.  You can do this by having your IRA invest in real estate.  This is a fascinating subject with many details, so I recommend visiting Carl at www.EntrustCama.com to get all of the details.  Many people are getting wealthy by applying this one approach, and letting the IRA actually work, rather than just sit there.  Check it out!

If the answer to that question is "YES", then you better go to Don's website and get his Lease that is tested in all 50 States.  Don is a national speaker, but local to Philly, who shared with us what it is like on both sides of the landlord/tenant world.  He gave our news guy, Mike, some great tips on getting prepared for renting and making sure tenants know what they are signing.  He also shared how landlords can protect themselves and their property by screening applicants the RIGHT WAY! So visit www.DonaldPBeck.com and learn what to do before you decide to become a landlord.
