The Cheese has Moved: Real Estate Investment Stratgies with Gary Johnston
On March 9, 2009, the Dow closed at 6,547.05 - a low point in the recent recession. Lately, the Dow has been pushing 14,000. The market in the last four years provides a good lesson. If people didn't panic and allowed time to pass, they were rewarded with a rebounding market. If they panicked, or needed cash, then they were faced with a big loss.
If you can keep things cash flowing, you can buy time to make things work out. If you get into a cash flow crunch, the runway gets really short in a hurry. For example, you might have bought a house for $80,000 and now it is worth $60,000. If the rent still covers all of the expenses and the debt service, you have enough runway to wait for the market to turn around. Don’t panic that the value has dropped, be patient and ride things out. If it is not profitable and there is not cash flow, then it makes it a lot harder to wait for the market to return. It probably will force decisions that won’t be pleasant.
If you have enough runway, you can get the heaviest of planes off of the ground. If the runway is short, you will probably crash.
Are you structuring your deals to make sure you have lots of runway to deal with issues that might come up?
Gary Johnston will present “The Cheese Has Moved – Changing your strategies but not your goal.” And tell you how.
About our speaker
:
Gary has been an active investor in real estate and notes for over 20 years. He was with Hewlett-Packard for 16 years as director of research and development in the LaserJet business unit before leaving the rat race at age 38.
One of Gary's early mentors, Norbert Volny, taught him that no one gets rich on a W-2; you have to make your money work harder than you do. Gary will share tools and strategies to build lasting wealth and obtain financial freedom. Learn about structuring deals to increase cash flow today and secure benefits in the future. Given the current market, it is more important than ever to understand and apply these principles.
You also won’t want to miss Gary’s presentation. Take it from a recent attendee, who said, “On several occasions I found myself saying, ‘That piece of information alone was worth the price of the class.’”
