My name is Donna Robinson. I have been involved in real estate investing for about 10 years. I have been a licensed agent, a property locator, negotiated various types of creative deals, including Pre-Foreclosures, REO's, Lease / Options, Seller Financing, Wholesaling, "Subject-To", Rehabbing and Retailing.

In all of this I have been involved in hundreds of deals, and evaluated more than one thousand potential investment properties, amounting to millions of dollars worth of real estate.

But 10 years ago, I was someone who was hoping to find a way to change my life for the better. I was tired of the corporate job. Tired of commuting 2 hours each way, and tired of the constant grind. I KNEW I had to do something.

I was bound and determined to leave the "9 to 5" world behind. I had a good paying corporate job, but I felt like a caged animal. I knew in my heart that I was an entrepreneur. I dreamed of living life on my own terms, with more time for family and spiritual priorities. I needed more flexibility in my life. And, I was committed to reaching this goal.

So, I was searching for that perfect opportunity when I found real estate investing. Or, perhaps I might say, it found me.

Like so many others, my first real exposure to real estate investing was an infomercial, featuring a big name guru, interviewing all these ordinary folks who were now millionaires. Somehow, after buying his course, these people had suddenly transformed themselves into rich, successful real estate investors.

I decided that was the life for me.
So I bought the course.

I was breathless with anticipation when it arrived. I tore the box open and started to read frantically. I wanted to take it all in as fast as possible. I wanted to get started quickly and get this show on the road. The faster I could learn how to make money investing, the sooner I would be able to quit my job. I was on my way.

Pretty soon I noticed that even though I was looking at houses, and I knew the concept of what I was supposed to be doing, somehow, I could not quite get the pieces together. I felt confused. Something was missing from my knowledge base. I figured I probably needed to find another course that would teach me whatever it was that I was missing.

I didn't know what I didn't know, but I knew that something was missing.

I went and bought another course by another guru, and joined a club, so I could network with other investors. I figured that it was a matter of finding the right strategy for me, then all the pieces would fall into place. I even got my real estate sales license and became an agent. It wasn't long before I had spent thousands of dollars.

In fact, I had literally spent enough to make the down payment on a house! Yet I still had an uneasy feeling. I had learned how to get listings, and follow the equal housing laws, but I still was not sure if the investment property I was looking at was going to make any money. I thought maybe I would find a few quick pre-foreclosures, sell them and make some money right off, but there was more to this issue of profitability. I soon found had a lot more to learn.

Only two years after I started, I had spent so much money on marginal investments that I went bankrupt. I kept thinking that some strategy would save the day, but it was too little too late. I went back to the corporate world, and started putting the pieces back together. I got a serious lesson in the importance of knowing where your profit is coming from and why.

Then I got a break - I met some full time investors and started working with them. Suddenly I was out in the field every day, looking at dozens of properties, talking to hundreds of sellers, and making lots of offers. It was exciting and scary all at the same time.

I soon realized that the real practice of investing and getting profitable results every time, was more difficult than anyone was willing to admit. The strategies sounded good, but working out the details in real life often meant anticipating the unexpected. I saw hundreds of houses and negotiated all kinds of cash and creative offers. It was an experience that really took me to the next level. And enabled me to deal with what happened next.

Just as my investing career was really beginning to take off, my husband became seriously ill. What I thought was a bad case of the flu, turned out to be liver failure due to Hepatitis C. Out of the blue, my husband was suddenly terminally ill with "end stage liver disease".

Practically overnight, my dream of being an entrepreneur investor became a nightmare of survival. In one day we lost his entire income. Our lives were turned upside down. Had it not been for money made on a real estate deal, we would have no income at all.

He was so ill that he required around the clock attention.

He would often require emergency visits to the hospital, for up to 3 days at a time, to deal with his deteriorating health. I quickly realized that I had to earn a full time living for both of us.

But working a corporate job was now out of the question. If I had wanted to be an entrepreneur, this was my chance. I had no choice. For the next 3 and 1/2 years, we would be totally dependent on real estate investing for our income. I got a laptop with a modem and a very long phone cord. (there were no high speed connections in 2001)

I started networking with investors, bird dogging, writing articles, wholesaling and working any deal I could find. I would take my laptop to the hospital and run the phone cord across the waiting room floor.

They thought I was crazy. The flexibility I had sought as an investor now took on new meaning. The freedom and flexibility I had dreamed of now came in very handy when I had to work from a hospital emergency room at midnight.

Eventually I started training people to search for houses for me. From that I moved into rehabbing and selling investment properties to investors. I teamed up with a wholesaler who funded all the deals. We would find it and fix it, then sell it to an investor at a guaranteed price.

I provided my investor buyers with a profit projection, and did property profit analysis to predict how much they would likely make selling or renting the house.

In short, I was able to show them how much profit they could expect to derive from a given deal.

During the next 3 and 1/2 years I learned to work the market and I did pretty well. I made a full time living, sometimes as much as $8K a month, with no cash, no credit and no qualifying for anything. I even acquired control of a commercial property and started a boat and RV storage business with it. In April of 2004 my husband received a liver transplant and today he is healthy.

I can assure you that our ordeal would have been much more difficult than it was had I not learned how to buy property to insure a profitable deal. My ability to "crunch the numbers" made it possible for me to work deals with lots of different clients.

During those years I went through the process over and over, hundreds of times. Today "The Real Estate Investors Guide To Buying Right", exists because of that experience. It came out of my own need to evaluate deals for other investors, and my desire to guarantee them a profitable deal.

But in order to sell a profitable deal to another investor, It is absolutely critical to "Buy Right" to begin with. Whether you want to sell for cash, rent, lease / option, or anything else, the main objective is to be profitable. I found that there is only one way to "guarantee" profitability…

Had I known this early on, I could have avoided spending thousands of dollars trying to find the "missing link" which ultimately proved to be the ability to know how much profit a property will make, and WHY.

Here are the simple facts:

1. Every deal you will ever buy is bought based on it's market value as the starting point. Most of the time this value is established with an appraisal.

Most investing programs teach you to take the After Repair Value and then use a formula to determine how much to offer for a property. It goes something like this:

ARV X .68% - repairs - profit = Maximum Allowable Offer

If you are wholesaling, this is the formula you are probably using to make offers. But…as you can see, this formula is only accurate IF your ARV is accurate! If your ARV is too high, your MAO will be too high. And how do virtually all investors determine the ARV? They use an ordinary appraisal…or worse, they let the SELLER provide the appraisal!

This is a formula for financial disaster!

Appraisals are fine for owner occupants who plan to occupy, and therefore hold a property for years. But an owner occupant is not concerned with how fast he or she can sell or how much income the property will really generate.

Investors on the other hand, are out to make a profit. At least they THINK they are. But when you buy investment property based on an ordinary appraisal, you are making a fundamental mistake.

The normal "Comparable Sales" Appraisals have NOTHING to do with your profit or potential income. These appraisals completely ignore the fact that you must generate a cash profit or steady cash flow!

If you are buying houses in the current market, based on appraisals, STOP! You are paying too much and your net profit is going to be significantly less at the end of the deal. This error is wiping out investor profits right now. If you make this same critical mistake, it can wipe you out too!

Buying a property to invest in is a totally different process than buying a house to live in, but NO ONE TELLS YOU THIS. Why? Perhaps it's because they spend more time selling seminars than they do actually making a profit as an investor. Maybe this is why so many gurus have filed bankruptcy!

"The Real Estate Investors Guide To Buying Right" teaches you how to make sure you stay profitable by using "Real Time Market Value" instead of the plain old vanilla version of After Repair Value that everyone else teaches.

I developed this concept as a way to project the likely cash profit or positive cash flow of an investment property. After dozens of deals I realized that appraised value had little to do with my chances of making a profit, or what the amount of that profit would ultimately be.

Why?
Because appraisals have no effect on your Real Time Market Value.

Let's say that you paid $150,000 for a house in a neighborhood and then put up a "For Rent" sign. Your payment on this house is $1000 per month, so you need to rent the house for $1250 so that you can make a decent positive cash flow of $250 per month.

You get lots of calls, but no one rents your house. Then you find out from another landlord in the neighborhood that there are lots of vacant houses here so rent rates have dropped to only $900 per month. Oops, you have a problem…you have an appraisal that says the house is worth $150,000, but guess what? Tenants don't care!

If everything else is renting for $900 per month, you will have to take $900 per month too! You can't tell the tenant "Gee, the appraiser said this house is worth $150,000, so I want you to pay me $1250 per month rent." The tenant will just find another house for $900. Leaving you with a house that is vacant month after month, or at best, you'll have a negative cash flow of $100 per month. Now you've done it. You wind up stuck in a deal that is losing money. And this happens every day.

Real Time Market Value says "What is this property REALLY worth, given the market activity in this area, and the likely income from a cash sale or monthly cash flow?"

Buying based on ordinary appraisals is fundamental mistake number 1. If you pay too much, there is not a strategy out there that can fix it.

Only The Real Estate Investors Guide To Buying Right teaches you how to determine Real Time Market Value, then use it to confidently structure offers that will be profitable.
