Lessons From The Battlefield From Two Warriors Who Have Won

September 22, 2011
For better or for worse, the lessons that really matter are learned in the crucible of life, not in the cleanliness of the classroom. The highs and the lows, the “ah-ha’s” and the “Oh crap’s” that move us ever forward come to us on the battlefield, not in the barracks.
This universally accepted truth is the foundation of September’s Wealth Club. It’s almost here – we meet this Saturday, September 24, from 9:00AM til noon at 5855 Sovereign Dr., Houston 77036.

Lessons From the Battlefield
Until 2004, Clay Cahoon followed the road most traveled. You know – go to school, get a job, and hunker down for 40 years waiting for retirement. In Clay’s case, that meant an MBA in Finance and a nice job as a corporate cog for Shell Oil.
(By the way, do you think that Shell’s founders followed the “road most traveled? No way. If they had, there’d be no Shell Oil. Just thinking out loud…)
Wealth and $ucce$ are not found on the road most travelled, and in 2004, Clay Cahoon changed roads. I asked him when he started investing in real estate. His answer? “10 minutes after I left Shell”. He got on the battlefield. School is now in session.
A True Expert
Today Clay is a $ucce$ful real estate investor. His focus is mostly on tax delinquent properties (a road less travelled) though he won’t turn his nose up at any good deal.
And today, it is fair to say that Clay Cahoon is a true expert on investing in tax delinquent properties. But he’s a different kind of expert. Not an academic who pontificates, but a practitioner who invests. Now, that’s the guy I want to hear from, and I suspect you agree with me.
And hear from him you will this weekend at The Wealth Club. Saturday (the 24th) from 9AM til noon at 5855 Sovereign Dr., Houston 77036.
His topic?…
What I Learned
Clay’s topic? “What I Learned – Lessons From The Battlefield”. He’s been on that battlefield for about 7 years now, and he’s coming to The Wealth Club Saturday to share real insights into building a $ucce$ful business and avoiding the land mines. Here’s a sample of what Clay will be sharing Saturday at The Wealth Club…
  • Turning Fierce Competitors into Strong Allies
  • The Insanity on Going It Alone
  • Outsourcing Secrets
  • The Plain “Truth” versus Creativity
  • The Power of Seller Financing
  • Dealing With Buyers and Sellers
  • Married to Only One Strategy?-What Happens When the Magic is Gone?
  • Life is Like a Box of Chocolates-The Critical Importance of Finding Your Own Way

Clay Cahoon earned his Investing degree from the University of Reality. And he’s coming to The Wealth Club Saturday to share his Lessons From The Battlefield. That’s Sept. 24 (this Saturday) from 9AM til noon at 5855 Sovereign Drive, Houston 77036. Mark your calendar right now.

Wow! I Got Another One!-A Must Hear “Ask the Expert”
Tom Berry is on a hot streak with apartments. And now he’s gone and bagged another one! He swears it has nothing to do with luck, and I agree. So I figured it was time to put him on the Hot Seat in our “Ask the Expert” segment at Saturday’s Wealth Club.
You need to be here for this one. For two very good reasons.
First of all, I’ve asked Tom to do a case study on his most recent contract, the most recent two if he has time.
This is your chance to hear from the expert and to Ask the Expert as Tom Berry breaks down the what, the why and the how of his most recent apartment deal (and the one before that, if he has time). That’s called “Lessons From the Battlefield”.
Secondly, Tom is focusing big time on apartments and wants YOUR help
Tom Berry is forming a new company specifically to go after apartments. And he’s actively seeking your help in buying as many great deals as he possibly can in the short window of opportunity he sees us in. That’s called “Getting On The Battlefield”!
If you ever thought you might like to invest in apartments, and if you think it might be a good idea to hook into Tom Berry’s vast network of buyers, lenders and investors and to tap into Tom’s brain and his experience, then you must do whatever it takes to join us at The Wealth Club this  Saturday, September 24, from 9AM til noon at 5855 Sovereign Dr., Houston 77036. The window of opportunity is closing fast.
The Battlefield Is The Only Place Where Victory Is Possible
This Saturday’s Wealth Club is not only focused on Lessons From the Battlefield. It actually offers you a chance to get on the battlefield, without having to go it alone. The initial step is yours. Then we’re there to help.
The Wealth Club monthly meeting is free to Wealth Club members and only $20 for guests.

CLICK HERE to check us out.

We network, share deals and learn from each other. We are not your competition. We are “Investors Helping Investors“.
Real estate investing is all about action. Basic training is very important, but lessons are fully learned and $ucce$ is achieved only on the battlefield. That’s our focus at The Wealth Club.
Come join us this Saturday the 24th at 9AM at 5855 Sovereign. Be a part of “Investors Helping Investors“.
See you Saturday. And see you at the top.
To Our $ucce$,

Why I Invest In Apartments And Why I Need Your Help!

September 11, 2011


Hi there,

At the end of the day, real estate investing is not about chasing after the next big deal. It’s about creating enough residual income and wealth to support your desired lifestyle, without working. 

And that’s the focus of this Tuesday’s Real Estate Investors Newbie Club with Financial Planner and Apartment Investor Tom Berry.

Tom’s topic, “Why I Invest in Apartments and Why I Need Your Help” is extremely powerful, very relevant, and comes with a surprising twist. We meet this Tuesday, Sept. 13, from 7PM-9PM at 5855 Sovereign Drive, Houston 77036. The meeting is free and open to all, so…
 
If you’re serious, curious or interested in…

  • Creating Financial Freedom in a short period of time
  • Building an impenetrable wall of financial security against these troubled times
  • Stepping up to the big time whether you think you’re ready or not
  • Leveraging off the $ucce$$ of established pros
  • Making Free in Five a reality for YOU!

Then Tuesday’s Real Estate Investors Newbie Club is a must for you, one you can’t afford to miss.

From Failure to Fortune-in Five
Tom Berry is living, breathing proof that Free in Five is not just a pipe dream, but an attainable goal for the rare individual who will create a bold plan and implement that plan relentlessly.

Tom and wife Melissa created an ambitious “60-months-to-financial-freedom” plan that must have seemed utterly ridiculous to friends at the time, considering their starting point. You see, their business had failed, taking with it their income, their savings and their credit. Add to that their lack of knowledge of real estate and their lack of network, before The Wealth Club, and you can see why their goals seemed, shall we say, a tad bit far-fetched.

But they committed to their vision, created a detailed plan to achieve it, and went to work. Relentlessly.
 
Why I Invest in Apartments
From Day One, Tom Berry’s Free in Five Plan relied heavily on investing in apartments. He didn’t start off with apartments, but they were the foundation of his plan all along. Later on, we’ll talk about why he didn’t start off buying apartments, and how you can skip some of the preliminary steps that Tom & Melissa went through on their path to Financial Freedom.

Here’s why apartment investing is such a sure and rapid path to Financial Freedom:

  • Larger deals-the extra zeros are wealth accelerators
  • Less competition
  • Better cash flow
  • Less risk-it’s spread over multiple tenants
  • Less expensive to buy per unit than houses
  • Higher cash flow per unit than houses
  • Easier and cheaper to manage per unit
  • More opportunities for creative financing

Tom knew from Day One that investing in apartments was a faster, easier, cheaper and less risky path to Financial Freedom than were houses.

That’s where he’s focusing his time and energy now. In addition, he believes we have a window of opportunity of 18 months or less to snap up incredible values and to create incredible wealth.

Which brings us to…..

Why I Need Your Help-Phase I
Tom Berry has already reached his wealth accumulation goals with his current portfolio of properties. And, as soon as the last couple of purchases are stabilized, his income goals should be reached, too.

HOWEVER…

 Tom is NOT slowing down or consolidating his gains. In fact, he is ramping up!! 

Why? Remember that “window of opportunity” I alluded to earlier? Do you think Tom Berry is going to let this rare chance to build incredible wealth pass him by? Would you?

Of course not. Especially since he now has the knowledge, experience, credibility and network to pull it off in a big way. You know….all the things he didn’t have in the beginning, but worked so hard to accumulate. Stop now? I don’t think so. It’s time to ramp up!

Which brings me to…

Why I Need Your Help-Phase II
Tom’s strategy is simple, Intensify, Focus and Leverage….

  • Intensify efforts-strike while the iron is hot
  • Focus on apartments and certain other income-producing commercial properties
  • Leverage other investors’ efforts to create win/win opportunities for all

Tom is creating a new company to focus investing in apartment buildings. But he’s already busier than a one-armed paper hanger, what with managing over 150 units, running rehabs, etc. That’s where his “Leverage” strategy comes in….

Tom is looking to develop key relationships to take full advantage of the time remaining to pick up incredible deals before the opportunity ends and normalcy returns. Are you interested?

Why You Should Help
Tom Berry only started investing in apartments in the last several months. It was his strategy from Day One. But back then he lacked the funding, network, knowledge and so forth, so he started out as a bird dog, then a wholesaler, and so forth, all with houses.

But you have an opportunity to Leverage off Tom’s network and resources and help him grow his business. In other words, you can, to a large degree, skip the curve that Tom struggled with for the first 3 years and go straight to apartments, where cash and wealth accumulate so much faster. What an opportunity!

Action is the Key
To be clear, there are no free rides. You have to provide value (win/win, remember?). But Tom Berry is coming to The Newbie Club Tuesday the 13th to talk about why he’s going after apartments with a vengeance for the next year and a half or so, and how you can help him, if you choose.

No promises. No commitments. Do it on your own if you want. You still ought to hear what Tom has to say. And if leveraging his knowledge, his experience and his network appeals to you at all, then do what you gotta do to be at The Newbie Club Tuesday, Sept. 13, from 7P-9P, at 5855 Sovereign Dr., Houston 77036.

Hopefully, you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend last week. And had fun watching the Texans annihilate the Colts this week. And, more importantly, remembered those who died, and those who responded so well in the face of Evil 10 years ago today. God Bless America.

But now it’s time to get up off the couch and go to work. Create your own Free in Five. And start it at The Newbie Club Tuesday, Sept. 13, 7:00PM-9PM at 5855 Sovereign Dr., Houston 77036.

See you there.

Free in Five,
