Creating Cash Flow With Creative Deals

The thing that sets Americans apart from the citizens of other nations is their belief in freedom, and their optimism that they will always be able to achieve it.  What sets entrepreneurs apart from other Americans is their commitment to the proposition that freedom isn’t possible without a degree of financial freedom; and that they will be able to attain this through their own efforts.

What sets real estate entrepreneurs apart from other entrepreneurs is that they don’t seek freedom by building massive stock companies, but by creation of income streams that build wealth while enabling them to support their families.  This is a deceptively complex subject that relies upon a wide variety of knowledge, skills, experience, and “street smarts”.

As we delve into this subject deeper, we’ll discover that financial plans, accounting, financial controls, credit, marketing, maintenance and management all play a part in helping the entrepreneur achieve success.  Ahead of mere financial success must be PERSONAL FREEDOM.  Below is a rational progression for achieving full, personal freedom:

1.    YOU WON’T BE FREE UNTIL YOU CAN CHOOSE WHERE AND WHEN YOU
WORK, and FOR HOW MUCH.

2.    YOU WON’T HAVE THAT CHOICE SO LONG AS YOU’RE DEPENDENT ON A
“JOB” FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

3.    TO BE ABLE TO QUIT YOUR JOB, YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR YOURSELF.

4.    YOU SHOULDN’T MAKE A RADICAL CHANGE TO QUIT YOUR JOB UNTIL
YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY ON DEPOSIT IN A MONEY MARKET OR BANK
ACCOUNT TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY FOR ONE YEAR.

5.     YOU WON’T HAVE THAT MONEY UNLESS YOU CAN GENERATE
AFTER-TAX SAVINGS FROM BOTH YOUR JOB AND YOUR
ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES.

6.     YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITHOUT A COMMAND  OF
BUDGETS, TAXES, BUSINESS PRINCIPLES, DEDICATION AND
DISCIPLINE.

7.     YOU WONT LEARN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WITHOUT A
LOT OF HARD WORK, STUDY, AND THE CAPACITY TO TOLERATE
FINANCIAL MISTAKES.

8.     WHEN YOU LOSE MONEY, YOUR FAMILY WILL LOSE A  PORTION OF
ITS LIFESTYLE, SO YOU’LL NEED THEIR FULL SUPPORT WHILE YOU
MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM WAGE EARNER TO ENTREPRENEUR.

9.     THE MORE DEALS YOU DO, THE MORE YOU’LL LEARN & FASTER.

10.    EACH YEAR, YOU’LL MAKE MORE AFTER-TAX MONEY.

Unlike most of my other books and seminars that focus on the creation of wealth, this book is going to focus almost exclusively on the creation of cash flow; that‘s a big word:  Under the umbrella of “cash flow” we can include business earnings, profits, wages, salaries, rents, borrowed money, interest and principal on loans made to others, proceeds of sales when any real estate, options, leases, and contracts are sold, savings, CDs, T-Bills, Notes, Bonds, retirement plans, cash-value insurance, annuities, legal settlements, lottery winnings, and proceeds of land which might include oil, gas, minerals, water, harvests of timber, crops, or fish, etc.

If you read back over the list carefully, you may indeed discover sources of cash flow that you may have overlooked, and these should surely be explored and exploited; but, for the purposes of this course, we’ll try to stick to an array of income from sources that most attendees will be able to relate to:  Personal and Business earnings, Leases, Notes, Options, and Sales of Houses.
