Were you aware that Real Estate Investors save 78% – 90% or more on their annual taxes? And, now you can too! Did I get your attention yet?

We have a solution that completely solves that giant tax problem for ALL Real Estate Investors.

In today’s real estate market, the only constant is volatile change…Your business is in a constant state of flux. Yet, there is one thing that’s not changing…

Uncle Sam is still demanding his tax payments on your rental income and capital gains from your REI business, including Flippers who get classified as Real Estate Dealers. Using our Trust, you cannot be classified as a Real Estate Dealer.

Real Estate Dealers are taxed at ordinary income rates, plus self-employment @ 15.3%, Medicare Surtax & AMT. That could easily be over 50% of your profits. OUCH!!

There is a new explosion of lawsuits because of the economy and people are getting desperate!

LLCs don’t protect you (in fact over 46% of the time when litigated, the corporate veil is pierced). My special guest and nationally known speaker, author and real estate investor, Bruce Mack, is going to show you a superior solution to keep your lien, levy and judgment proof.

On this upcoming, MUST attend, LIVE webinar for your REI BUSINESS SURVIVAL, you’re going to get the solutions to both problems. You will be amazed at how simple the solution is!

Join us and our friend, Licensed Financial Advisor, Bruce Mack, for this LIVE Webinar.

Helping Realtors Find Clients and Listings in 2024

By Rick Tobin

For many licensed real estate professionals and investors, this year will likely be the most important year for their career and investment strategies. I could write the same thing for the start of any previous year because it’s true for almost every single new year that brings us new opportunities.

I’ve held various real estate broker licenses in multiple states over the past few decades, so I fully understand the pressure that real estate licensees are under to find new clients and listings. I’ve also written college textbooks and courses (economics, finance, and real estate) in most states for the top 2 largest U.S. real estate educational firms and for the oldest and best-known real estate school in California.

Whether you just passed your very first real estate exam or have been an “old pro” for the past few decades like me, please reach out to me and we will work together to create a marketing plan for your target region. I’m also available online for brokerage office meetings and can be found as a new OnZoom instructor on their national public platform that’s linked here: OnZoom – Rick Tobin.

Marketing Strategies for Realtors and Others

Attention spans: You have just 7 or 8+ seconds to quickly capture your readers’ or viewers’ attention span with a print or digital media ad. Focus on their needs and wants, not yours, for a higher rate of response (1% or higher).

Cash-on-cash advertising returns: The investment return for every $1 invested in your advertising campaign. For example, you invest $100 and collect $10,000 from a future closed commission at a 100-to-1 return on your investment.

Print media: Forms of marketing that can be held in your hand like mailed letters, postcards, flyers, newspapers, and magazines. Please avoid blind ad risks when you don’t clearly identify yourself as a real estate licensee.

Digital media: Online ads can be found on your blog, website, social media, and in native ads or sponsored ads (examples: Facebook, Google, Nextdoor, Alignable, Taboola, Outbrain, etc.). Email, text, and telephone marketing also work if the prospects aren’t on any do-not-call lists that exceed 300 million phone numbers.

Repetition is the key to programming and advertising. The more often that consumers see your ads online and/or in print media, the more likely they will remember you before contacting you for your services.

Merge print and digital media: The addition of a QR code on a print media design, which readers can scan with their phones prior to them seeing your online home listing or personal website, is an exceptional combination of both print and digital media at the exact same time at a fraction of the cost. There are free or affordable QR sites that will take your websites and convert them into a new QR code (Adobe, Canva, etc.).

Social Media Marketing Numbers

Numerous published studies note that younger Americans are spending somewhere between 4.8 and 6+ hours on social media and a grand total of closer to 9 to 11+ hours on all types of media (gaming, television, movies, videos, etc.) every single day. If you want to reach your target audience for young first-time home buyers and older prospects, they’re found online.

With first-class stamps reaching 68 cents in January 2024 (3rd increase in a year; it’s rumored to rise to 70 cents in July ‘24), digital media ads may be more affordable and effective than print media.

Top 10 Social Media Apps (October ‘23)

1. Facebook: 3 billion (monthly active users)
2. YouTube: 2.5 billion
3. Instagram: 2 billion
4. TikTok: 1.2 billion
5. Snapchat: 750 million
6. X (Twitter): 541 million
7. Pinterest: 465 million
8. Reddit: 430 million
9. LinkedIn: 350 million
10. Threads: 100 million

The flip side of this print vs. digital media debate is that you will probably have much less competition this year when mailing letters and postcards because of the high postage costs. Will this translate to a much higher rate of response from your target audience? Please share with me later this year about which marketing strategies are working and which ones aren’t as effective so that we can learn together.

Distressed Properties & Home Listing Opportunities

Listed below are strategies to either save distressed properties from being foreclosed and/or ways to generate new home listings:

  • Forbearance agreements: The lender agrees to postpone or delay their foreclosure actions with the delinquent borrower. These foreclosure postponements can last months or years.
  • Forbearance moratorium expirations: The Covid-19 FHA forbearance moratoriums ended on November 30, 2023, which may affect millions of distressed FHA borrowers who haven’t made a payment for upwards of 3+ years ($100,000+ in unpaid mortgage debt?). The VA moratoriums were extended until May 31, 2024, partly since the federal government probably didn’t want too many distressed home listings hitting the market at the same time. Please consider sending mailings out to both FHA and VA borrowers.
  • Loan modification: The lender or mortgage service company agrees to reduce the existing interest rate and/or monthly payment so that the loan is more affordable as a way to avoid foreclosure.
  • Deferment: The lender agrees with the borrower’s request to delay their delinquent payments until a future date. The late payments and penalties are added years later when the loan becomes due.
  • Reinstatement: After the borrower and lender agree to modify the monthly payments to avoid foreclosure, the loan is reinstated in good standing.
  • Short sale: If and when the mortgage debt is greater than the current market value for the home (aka “upside-down” or “underwater”), the owner should contact me so that I can negotiate a discounted mortgage payoff and help you obtain the listing and find a buyer. My past client worked on 6,000 short sales (#1 in the US) many years ago and I was their main mortgage broker.

Target the Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious mind is a type of automatic thinking center where your desires to purchase or sell a product or service truly originate. Most people are “impulse buyers” who quickly purchase a product, service, or asset like a home without really thinking it through and closely analyzing the potential pros and cons associated with moving forward with the purchase.

Repetition is the key to programming or deeply influencing others as I intentionally wrote earlier for better memory recall. Advertisers know this as well, so they continually flood your digital screens over and over to inspire you to purchase their products or services offered.

A simple way to find out what your target audience (one person standing next to you or in a hotel ballroom filled with 1,000 people) is to ask them a question like “What do you really want in life?” For many people, they will likely respond with love and money. It’s your turn then to show them how your product or service will help them later find love and money as you build the sales presentation around their needs and interests, not yours.

Interesting Subconscious Mind Facts:

  • It records everything.
  • It’s automatic and fully alert.
  • It takes almost everything literally.
  • It’s built on habituation and repetition.
  • It controls 95% to 99% of our thoughts and beliefs.
  • It’s one million times more powerful than our conscious mind.
  • It’s deeply affected more by voice tones, body language, numbers, and symbols than spoken or written words.

Influential Sales Strategies: Dale Carnegie

Warren Buffett, one of the most famous wealth builders in the history of the world, publicly gives full credit to Dale Carnegie for helping him overcome his overwhelming fear of public speaking and later becoming one of the best-known sellers and investors of all time.

I also took this brilliant Dale Carnegie course shortly after graduating from USC. To this day, I continue to use many of the same marketing and selling techniques that I learned while also sharing them in real estate and finance courses that I create for others.

A key component of a Dale Carnegie sales and speech course includes the A.I.C.D.C.: Attention, Interest, Conviction, Desire, and Close strategy. Let’s look next at how this sales concept can help you:

A (Attention): You’ve got about eight seconds to grab attention either online or in print like with a postcard. Either way, colorful and vivid images can attract your viewers’ eyes to your ad. In person, you grab their attention by learning their name (usually our favorite word), repeating it every so often, and talking primarily about them and their needs and interests to build rapport and trust.

I (Interest): Please think of the initial attention as akin to a “spark” that you must kindle by boosting the “flames” of interest by continuing to focus on your clients’ needs and interests. Keep asking them questions to find out their root needs and interests. You then speak to them by sharing how your product or service can give them exactly what they’re seeking.

C (Conviction): During this stage, you as the salesperson are certain that the client is interested in what you’re offering. Now, you offer valuable eye-opening statistics to support your claims.

D (Desire): You repeatedly show the prospect how the features or benefits of your product or service will get them what they desire (“Fact, Bridge, Benefit” technique). When successful, the customer’s desire to purchase your product or service will rise from low to high rather quickly.

C (Close): The absolute most important sales step is to close ‘em by asking them to buy your product. Your client may be 100% interested in your product, but may not know what to do next. It’s here where you show them how easy and simple it is to buy your product or for them to sell their off-market home with seller-financing that you mutually agree to and close the deal within a few days. Ask for the close and it’s more likely to happen.

Building a Trusted Network

● Circle or Sphere of Influence: Your friends, family, classmates, current and former co-workers, and connections from clubs, church, and networking groups and their connections as well that may number in the hundreds or thousands of people.

● These friends, family, and business professionals may be found at the local Chamber of Commerce, American Legion, Rotary Club, and Elks Lodge as well as with our Trusted Business Partners (TBP) networking group.

● Building a support network helps alleviate the burden of financial distress and increases opportunities like with our So-Cal Real Estate Investors group that meets at Canyon Lake Golf Club, Shoreline Yacht Club in Long Beach, and online.

● You’re more likely to take on the traits of the five main people in your circle of friends, family, and/or advisors, so choose wisely!!!

Helping Realtors & Investors Close More Deals

I’ve created hundreds of articles about fix-and-flips, short sales, seller-financing (subject-to, wraparounds, & paper flips), foreclosure bailouts, and was featured on the cover of Creative Real Estate Magazine (I was their #1 most published author for 10 years).

  • I’ve taught real estate licensees and investors across the nation how to find clients, distressed properties, and boost their sphere of influence to find more clients and homes to sell or buy.
  • If you or your clients have credit issues, I’ve written courses about credit for the two largest real estate publishers in the nation and may help quickly increase your clients’ FICO credit scores.
  • I can get you fast pre-approvals and help structure the offer with maximum credits to minimize cash to close.
  • My Realloans team and I will simplify your complex deals so that you and your clients are relieved, calm, happy, and close on time.
  • I’m affiliated with hundreds of real estate investment clubs and 1031 tax-deferred exchange groups, which have tens of thousands of qualified or all-cash buyers who can close quickly.
  • I will help your listings by sharing mortgage flyers with you and on my networking platforms to optimize viewer traffic.

2024 can either be your best year ever as a real estate licensee, or investor or it could be quite challenging if you’re not willing to make necessary changes. The choice is yours and yours alone as to your willingness to attempt new creative marketing strategies to boost your sales and purchase numbers.

I’m here to help you reach and surpass your goal targets. The best time to start is today, not next year. Best wishes for success in 2024 and beyond!

Why Choose a CPA?

By John Dutson, CPA

A regular accountant can perform many of the same functions as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant), including tax preparation and bookkeeping. So how do you know if hiring a CPA is the right fit for your business?


article continues after advertisement


What is the difference between an accountant and a CPA?

An accountant is someone who has earned their bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance.

A CPA has a bachelor’s degree, but has earned additional designations upon graduation.

To become certified, an accountant must have work experience, pass the Uniform CPA Exam, and meet all state licensing requirements. The exam covers their knowledge of business, accounting, taxes, and auditing.

Additionally, CPAs are required to take continuing education courses throughout their careers to stay up to date on laws and regulations.

Because of this certification, a CPA has a fiduciary responsibility to their clients, while an accountant does not. This means CPAs are legally required to act in the best interests of their clients, whereas a standard accountant does not have a license to lose.

Not just tax returns

Almost anybody can call themselves a tax preparer. It does not require extensive education to obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN), which the IRS requires for someone to receive compensation for completing a tax return.

But due to the demanding education and testing requirements that a CPA must fulfill, their expertise goes beyond just preparing and filing an accurate tax return on your behalf.

CPAs work with clients all year long, not just during tax season. Your CPA can typically help you with a wide range of issues, including future tax planning, college or retirement savings plans, or business strategies — whatever your goals entail, a CPA can help you achieve them.

You’re not accountable.

Clients usually seek a CPA to ensure that they are dealing with true professionals who can be held accountable for their actions if ever the CPA code of ethics is not respected or for any other dispute between the client and the CPA.

CPAs have rules of professional conduct and a code of ethics. If they deviate or fail to respect that code, they would face sanctions by the professional body of CPAs. That could include monetary penalties or permanent expulsion from the order of CPAs in severe cases. The accountability rests on your CPA, not on you.

So when should I hire a CPA?

1. When You Are Starting a Business:

A CPA can recommend the best business structure for your company. How you structure your business will have an effect on your taxes – – whether that’s a partnership, an LLC, a sole proprietorship, or a corporation. A CPA will work with you to optimize your business’ goals and recommend legal structures.

2. During Tax Season:

CPAs can prepare tax documents, file tax returns, and strategize ways to minimize your tax liability for the following year. Also, CPAs can represent you if the IRS has questions about your return or if you or your business is audited.

3. In Special Circumstances:

If you’re thinking about taking out a loan for your business, a CPA can help you can recommend the best type of loan for your business, figure out the size of the loan and how payments will affect your cash flow, and prepare financial statements for your loan applications.

Or, when you’re facing significant structural or operational changes to your organization – – such as purchasing a business, merging with another company, planning to sell or close your business, or deciding whether to take on a new partner or dissolve a partnership – – you should consult a CPA about the tax implications for your business and for yourself.

Survey: Americans Prefer Portugal, Costa Rica & Mexico for Overseas Real Estate Investment

Survey of International Living Readers Also Shows Preference for Beach, City Properties, Good Healthcare, Safety

By Ronan McMahon

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – Ronan McMahon’s Real Estate Trend Alert, a leading source of real-time information for investors on off-market, insider real estate deals in up-and-coming locales, today released the results of a survey that ran in late October with 434 readers of International Living responding. Both people who are professionally active and retirees were surveyed. Portugal is the preferred destination, in second and third place are Costa Rica and Mexico respectively. When deciding to invest in a property, quality of healthcare and safety and crime rates are among the most important criteria investors consider.

Investing in property abroad is no longer an option that is only available to affluent investors, but has gradually become more and more popular with middle class families in the last decade. Through the survey that was conducted with the readers of International Living, Real Estate Trend Alert set out to understand the preferences of American investors in terms of where they want to invest, how much they want to invest, and what they are looking to achieve with their investments.

Investments

The first question pertained to the amount people are planning to invest.

What is the total amount of investment(s) you are planning to make?

A large majority (79.54%) of respondents plan to invest less than $500,000. 38.14% even plan to invest less than 250,000. The numbers look very similar across retired and employed respondents. While at first sight, one might consider the investment amounts modest, it is important to take into account that in many foreign countries the price of real estate is considerably lower than it is in the United States. In Mexico, for example, it is possible to acquire a luxury condo in a five star beach and golf resort for $250,000.

Objectives

Respondents were also asked about the objectives they seek to realize with their investment(s).

What are your primary objectives with your planned purchase(s)? (Ranked)

The number one reason Americans invest in property abroad is that they want to relocate. In second place comes the search for temporary residence and in third place follows the search for a property that can be rented out. With only a few exceptions, the way respondents ranked their objectives are the same for people who are retired versus people who are employed.

Countries

Respondents were also asked where they plan to purchase real estate.

In what countries are you considering purchasing properties? [Top 5]

Portugal came out as the clear winner here, followed by Costa Rica. Mexico, Panama and Spain complete the top five (but the order in which they do so is different for retired Americans versus Americans who are employed).

Types of areas

Investors were also asked in what type of areas they would like to invest.

In what type of area(s) are you considering purchasing properties?

Beach property is the number one category of property purchased by Americans abroad. The city and suburbs follow in second and third place respectively.

Criteria for choosing a country

Finally, respondents were asked what criteria matter most to them when selecting a place to invest. For every country of the top five most popular countries, the three most important criteria were listed for the people who selected that specific country.

View on what people consider important when buying property abroad who selected one of the top five countries.

Safety and crime rates and quality of healthcare are predominantly present in the top three criteria for people who considered any of the top five countries to invest in. Both Costa Rica and Mexico have market conditions (perceived potential for appreciation) in their top three. For people who selected Panama, quality of governance was (on third place) an important factor to consider and Americans who want to invest in Spain attach (on third place) great importance to cultural affinity with the place.

“Americans want to feel safe.”

“The picture we got from the survey is very clear. Americans want to live close to the beach in a country where there is plenty of sun. They also want to feel safe and have high-quality healthcare,” said Ronan McMahon, founder and editor of Real Estate Trend Alert, who’s been a part of more than $2 billion in international real estate transactions over the past two decades.

“When Americans look to invest in property abroad, they do so for many different reasons with relocation being the most important one. People want to move to Portugal, Costa Rica and Mexico first and foremost. Panama takes the third place with retired Americans. When we look at the budgets that people have available to spend on property abroad, with a large majority not planning to spend more than $500,000, it is no surprise that we see Central American countries so prominently represented in the top three most favored countries.”

Webinar: Important Tax Strategies Discussed

Dear Reader,

The other day, you received an invitation to join me and my associate, Bruce Mack, for a LIVE webinar where you’ll learn how to solve that giant tax and asset protection problem facing ALL Real Estate Investors. Bruce is the perfect person to share this insight as he is a Licensed Financial Advisor, national speaker, author, and real estate investor.

Today, I want to give you one more nugget about this strategy.

They say that “the only guarantees in life are death and taxes.” Well medical advances have been able to postpone death for a while.

But what about overpaying taxes? Can you postpone them too?

Actually, Bruce says you can. (In fact, Bruce adds that you can defer most of your tax liability in perpetuity.) They have a solution that completely solves that giant tax problem for ALL Real Estate Investors.

Using their Trust, you cannot be classified as a Real Estate Dealer. Real Estate Dealers are taxed at ordinary income rates, plus self-employment @ 15.3%, Medicare Surtax & AMT. That could easily be over 50% of your profits. OUCH!!

This strategy uses the tax code to legally keep most of the money you were going to send to Uncle Sam this year in your bank account and is 100% IRS compliant.

On this critical must-attend webinar, Bruce will also reveal how you can protect yourself financially — right now — in today’s troubled and litigious times with bulletproof asset protection.
