Helpful Tips on Creating a Recruiting System
If you rely too much on an ancient technique of utilizing your contacts in order to locate potential subscribers or customers for your services or products, it may be the right time to search for other alternatives. The Internet is one of most useful resources when you are about to create your own MLM recruiting system secrets leads.

Why Not To Purchase Leads
When it comes to creating leads for your MLM business, you are given two options, such as: creating the leads or purchasing them yourself. Creating your own leads involves the creation of a squeeze page, waiting for prospects to enter their information, and creating an excellent follow-up system.
Among the two choices, purchasing leads is the most popular but is also the riskiest. There are several downsides of purchasing leads. One of them is in the fact that these leads are often sold a number of times. Often, this causes the lead not to respond on your email containing your offer since he or she had already received several emails.
In addition, you are also not sure what sources are being used to create your leads. Purchasing leads can relatively reduce your marketing leverage. This is for the reason that the good leads are the ones that vitalize your business. However, if you hire a company to provide you with the leads, you hand the life of your business over to someone else. And so, if you are looking for a way to create an MLM recruiting system secrets leads, instead of choosing the easy way out, create it yourself and actually watch your business grow.

In addition to the strict time limitations on 1031 Exchanges, there are certain properties that can be used. These properties must satisfy the Internal Revenue guidelines.
The idea behind the 1031 Exchange provision of the Internal Revenue Tax Code is that when a Real Estate tax is sold and the proceeds of the sale are used to purchase a property of “like kind”, taxes real taxable income is being generated. What is actually happening is that no form of investment is being exchanged for another. This allows the tax payment to be deferred.
This is a process that is considered no different than shifting your investment from one fund to another within a 401K tax other type of tax deferred retirement fund. In this case, one mutual fund is being sold and the proceeds being used to buy another. The only difference is that while the exchange of mutual funds or other holdings in a retirement fund can be exchanged quickly, Real Estate transactions require a rather longer closing process. This is why taxpayers are allowed 45 days to identify the new property and 180 days to complete the transaction.
What properties can be used for a 1031 Exchange? The property can be just about any form of Real Estate. It is the purpose the Real Estate is being held that determines the suitability of it for inclusion in a 1031 Exchange. The property must be held for a business purpose or another income generating reason. A rental property would be an example of an income generating purpose. The property can also be held for investment purposes. This is a rather general concept, but it no longer applies to a personal residence. Although at one time, a personal residence was considered as being an investment, the Tax Reform Act of 1997 changed this.
It is important to understand the concept of like-kind properties. This does not mean physical similarities at all. It refers to the purpose the property is being held. The 1031 Tax Code does exempt improvements of properties already held by the taxpayer. For example, you could not sell a home used for rental income and use the funds generated to build a new rental home on a vacant lot that you already own. Although this appears to be a like-kind exchange, the ownership of the lot makes it an improvement and not a new purchase.
It is absolutely essential that a tax professional be consulted to insure that the property that is planned to be the exchange property qualifies under the 1031 rules. The Internal Revenue Service will not be sympathetic to good intentions or honest mistakes anymore than they are forgiving of exceeding the time limits for the identification and completion of the transactions. The tax implications of major 1031 Exchanges are quite serious and it is necessary to be very sure of what you are doing every step of the way.

The word ‘funds’ in the phrase Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs, quite often confuses some investors who tend to identify them with mutual funds. More so, when people think that both the ETFs and the mutual funds spread the risk by the diversification of investments.
Confusion apart, the fact remains, that most people do not like the management and the investment policies and the high operating expenses associated with the actively managed mutual funds. The performance of mutual funds also does not offer the level of transparency that the investors would expect.
Another problem with the mutual funds is that the funds of the investors just lie in the portfolio for years. Though this may be a good investment policy as it brings in the benefits of long term investment, yet the investors cannot get the advantages of short term movements in the market.
For example, when Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, there was an upturn in crude oil prices. If the investors wanted to take advantage of this upsurge in crude oil prices, they would have to wait until the end of the business day when the net asset value -NAV- is calculated. The investor would again have to wait till the next day to buy the shares of the mutual fund with the oil company holdings and the value of the share would remain unchanged till it was again determined only at the end of the day. By this time the value could fall again before the investor was able to sell his shares.
It may be noted that the value of the oil stock might have risen during the trading period in course of the day, but the investor could not take the advantage of the price rise and sell his shares. Moreover the investor would also have to pay penalties and possibly the sales commissions if he sold his shares. Mutual funds do not provide any investment tools for those who wish to invest on short term price movements.
Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs were, therefore, devised to remedy the problems that are associated with the mutual funds. ETFs are index funds as they are designed to track the major indexes such as the S&P 500 or NASDAQ.
ETFs may not be actively managed, but their returns are in-line with the benchmarks that they are designed to mirror. ETFs also mirror other indexes and offer a number of significant benefits to the investors. So if some tech company promises a good earning, with an ETF that tracked the NASDAQ, an investor can buy shares early on and then sell them later for a profit, because ETFs trade like stocks.
ETFs trade like stocks. Investors have to pay commissions for their trades in the same way they have to do for stocks. But even these commissions can be reduced considerably by finding brokerages that charge very low or flat commissions.
ETFs give the investors a great amount of flexibility along with the added benefit of reduced risks due to diversification at minimal expense. Asset allocation forms an important part of sound investment strategy. It is against all cannons of sound investment to put all the eggs in one basket. This is the reason why investment experts advise the investors to split the portfolio among a variety of asset classes.
Another big reason for the popularity of the ETFs is that they are much cheaper than the actively managed mutual funds. Most investors love to invest in ETFs because they are not actively managed and their low expense ratios allow the investors to invest more money in them. An average expense ratio for an ETF is between 0.1-0.7 percent.
A great complaint about mutual funds is against their high management operating fees and commissions that are taken out even before any shares are purchased. These deductions may lower the turnover and also reduce the amount of capital actually used to invest.
ETFs cover all major indexes, asset classes that any niche investor can imagine and aspire to invest in. There are ETFs that are comprised exclusively of specialty industries in the tech and energy sectors besides the commodities such as gold and oil. Investors can add real estate investments to their portfolio and can thus create a portfolio consisting of diversified investments quickly and simply by using ETFs.

How many times have you thought that you’d love to make money at home? With all the home business scams out there, the biggest question is evident. Internet home business opportunities–are they legitimate? Some are and some aren’t. So, how do you determine what’s a scam and what isn’t?
Unfortunately, it’s not really cut and dry and as you may hit a lot of dead ends on your search for the perfect business. My advice to you is to not give up. There are more scams out there than legitimate work from home businesses, but they are out there.
You may hear all the time advice on whether you should spend money on a business opportunity. Most people say that you shouldn’t spend any money. They say that if you spend money, then it’s probably a scam. I’ve also heard people who weren’t a part of a testimonial ad say that they’ve been successful after selling out money.
Here’s what you should do: don’t pay any company for supplies, or kits to assemble or anything like that. These turn out to be scams almost all the time. The only time you would legitimately want to spend any money would be for an education. It makes sense to pay for an education. If someone else has done something to make money and written an e-book about how they did it, you will save literally thousands if you can learn from their mistakes. The trouble is figuring out if the opportunity really works or if you just got scammed.
While negating all opportunities where you must pay may alleviate some legitimate opportunities, you will most definitely be weeding out the scams. I personally don’t think that this is the best way to go. It just makes sense to learn from other’s mistakes if they are willing to share them. I say limit yourself to no more than $100 invested in your initial education. And make sure you understand the money back guarantee and how to obtain it before you purchase.
The next thing that you must always remember is that you should use your own judgment. If an opportunity seems too good to be true, it probably is. Call me a skeptic, but I would even go so far as to say that it is too good to be true.
There are also claims out there from a lot of companies that you can make thousands of dollars per day. Some even claim that you can do so by only working one or two hours per week. Though this may sound like the perfect opportunity. Who wouldn’t want to work a couple of hours and get paid thousands? You must be realistic. If it were that easy, why isn’t that individual doing all of the work themselves?
The good new is, there are some good people who are helping other people achieve their dreams by not giving false information. But there are only few of them so be sure you’ve done your research. I have found Scott Edward at Legitimate Business Reviews to be honest and straightforward about what you can really expect from an Internet home business opportunity
So, my last advice to you is to be careful. So, to answer the question: Internet home business opportunities–are they legitimate? I would say yes there are some legitimate ones out there, but very few. Just be very careful and be smart.

As a mongrel breed with shallow roots I can assure you that home is truly where your immediate family is, was, or can be traced to. For those without a foundation to reach skyward from, the United States of America has seemingly become that bedrock. Regardless to the various countries of origin, the world’s tired, poor, and starving have, for better or worse, latched onto the ideals and opportunities presented in the modern 21st century America, and have done so with a quiet and powerful force.
This quiet reserve which has continued to alter the ethnic fiber of our United States over the past 200 years can remain silent no longer. With a debate which rages on both sides of the isle in Congress, and within every State House across this Land, the time is now to identify, codify, and solidify the complexity of our Nation, and the social responsibility of its Citizens. Our laws are fragmented and the messages they send to those they are meant to govern, often ambiguous. Let’s end the uncertainty and come clean with our vision.
The time is now to return to a basic fundamental structure of human contribution. These are the principals upon which our great country was founded. Stand up and be counted, stand strong side by side with your fellow countryman, not hidden behind the shadows of your own existence. Fear persecution, retribution and retaliation and overcome these fears through open participation in the process. Open participation starts with accountability for ones actions through registration. In addition, we, as an empathic society, need to establish an effective process to protect all human beings from unrighteous persecution, and provide an opportunity for all that are willing and able, to participate in this “Great Nation’s” continued evolution.
While it is openly recognized that many of those whom have come to the USA illegally, have done so to escape religious or political persecution in their home country, consider this: Those that come to this country unannounced and fail to register and be counted, must be prepared to face persecution here if they insist on remaining anonymous and uncounted. Own your honor, and your responsibility to defend it against they who wish to rob you of it. Shout to the rooftops - I Am America! Pay the price for taking ownership in this proclamation. Teach your children the importance and responsibility which accompanies citizenship of any country, and never take for granted the duty which a free people have to each other. In numbers we are strong, but in unity undeniable.
Dave Brown is a an American Citizen!

Very few professions in life are setup to NOT include a team. Even professions that are normally considered single entities require a team. Doctors must have an office staff. Lawyers need research assistants. CPAs need billing clerks. The point is that most every business needs to build a team to succeed. In Real Estate Investing it is no different. However, the team you build here is usually volunteer and they are 1090 type team members. Therefore, it takes a little more talent to build a volunteer army. However, if you make it worth their while, it will pay you beyond your wildest dreams. That’s our goal. We want to surround ourselves with high quality people that are getting paid for their services and remaining loyal to us. So, who are the entities that make up this team. You know each of these professions. However, you may not have known how they interact with your real estate business. These 7 Key Resources™ are the “key” to unlocking your success in real estate.
The first Key Resource™ is Professional Money Lenders. These group of professionals are the normal suspects that provide the large sums of money for financing. There are three critical groups under this heading.
Lending institutions are the large institutions that lend to all sectors of real estate. Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Aurora Mortgage, Mellon Mortgage are just a few of these institutions. Usually, they are less flexible and more expensive. Another small known fact is that these types of lenders will tend to cut you off from lending as a group at around four to six loans in a 12 month period. The point here is that if you want to do more real estate than four to six properties a year, you have to plan for some more creative solutions.
Local banks tend to be a little more flexible and less expensive to work with. Moreover, by establishing relationships with these institutions, you may be able to get the local bank to do a few more loans each year. Sometimes they will do two or three extra loans per institutions.
Hard money lenders allow you to be very flexible. However, they are usually very expensive. You need to ensure the deal works with all of the interest, fees and penalties that may occur. Another thing to key on is the rate. I have often been asked what is a good rate. The answer is: Whatever get the deal done with the best profit model. I have completed deals where I paid one hundred and twenty percent where I made six figures and I have accomplished deals where the rate was six percent and I broke even. The key point to remember is make money every time. The rate doesn’t matter as much as the deal.
Hard money does not carry that term because it is easy. You must be wary of all the fees associated with any transaction. Create a matrix and enter all critical information:
- What each fee is
- What each penalty is
- What the interest rate is
- What types of deals the lender likes to do
- High Risk
- Low Risk
- Residential
- Commercial
- High Dollars
- Low Dollars
Put together each category so that you can make a solid decision as to which lender to use for each situation. If you do not like a particular hard money lender’s rates or fees, do not eliminate them from your team. There may be a time when you would need their assistance. There has been many times when I ran my favorite lender out of money and had to use another. These are just resources that you can rely on in the future. Treat them all well, you will probably need them all at one time or another.
The second Key Resource™ is Private Money Lenders. These individuals (usually) have very little to no experience in lending. They are individuals who happen to have some extra money and are not use to lending. Usually they are not accredited investors. The key to opening this resource is to establish good relationships with people who have money. Then, after some time and seeing you perform they will loan you small amounts initially to allow your business to grow. The money will increase with confidence. They can loan you money for down-payments, fix-up costs and money to make up the difference when a hard money lender will not lend the amount necessary to acquire the property.
These private money lenders are easier to find than you think. They are you friends, acquaintances with money and family, usually in the order mentioned. You will be able to work with your friends first because of the trust relationship you have established with them. Generally, your acquaintances will need some factual evidence and maybe some positive proof before they begin to lend to you. Your family will need absolute proof prior to lending you money in most cases. The order can be mentally disconcerting. We all wish we could work with our family. However, when someone has argued with you as a youth and even changed a diaper, they are less likely to look at you as an authority figure. However, as you show success they will come too.
The third Key Resource™ is Credit Partners. These are the individuals who will lend you their credit. You may say that you can use your own credit. However, after four to six loans the bank WILL cut you off as was mentioned above. If you don not gather this resource together you will be stuck with the small amounts of deals that you have done so far in the year. Once this limit has been reached, it is imperative if you want to continue to build relationships that will allow you to continue doing real estate to earn a living.
It can be easy to find those willing to assist you in your endeavors if you ask in a non-threatening way. There is a technique my father taught me called asking “through” people. Ask like this: Who do you know that would like to make an additional twenty five to fifty thousand dollars in the next twelve months with real estate? Notice, I am not asking AT them, but rather through them (Who do you know…). Another key point is that it is an open ended question. It could easily be a yes-no question by subtly changing the first sentence to: Do you know anyone who would like to… The point is this, in any conversation it is best not to back them into a corner. Give them some options and they will surprise you. You will begin to hear statements like, “what about me?” When you do, you can respond very non-threateningly.
The fourth Key Resource is Deal Makers™. This group of professionals perform the key tasks of getting the deal started, processed and finished. Finding quality individuals and companies here can make the difference between lots of money and lots of frustration. The other very important piece to remember about this resource is that it is NOT suggested that you use rookies in this category. A rookie in this area can cost you all your profit. Contrary to Nike, “Just don’t do it!!!
Loan Officers are very key to making deals happen. Everyone knows what they are used for. So, I will give you the two critical things that you need to talk to them about. First, the loan officer needs to understand how to expedite the deal and get it done fast. Getting loans done slow can cause you to spend a lot of money in penalties and fees from your hard money lender. Second, you need to build a relationship with your loan officer that helps him or her to realize that you are a source of deals and not a single deal. A source is an entity that can create residual income for you. You should find a loan officer that understands that.
Mortgage Lenders are those individuals and companies that can own the loan process. People may ask, “Isn’t that the same as a loan officer?” The answer is mostly yes. However, there are a couple of things that some mortgage lenders can do. First, some mortgage lenders have their own money. What’s meant by own money is that they literally have their own cash on hand versus most banks and mortgage companies borrow their money to lend to you. These companies can process loans much faster than regular banks. First Horizon Home Loans is one such institution. However, do your own research in your area and find an institution that has their own money. Second, these entities can if necessary perform very fast. I have seen results in forty eight hours.
Real Estate Brokers can perform some tasks that real estate agents can not. They can adjust commissions. This is very valuable. If you are running multiple deals through an agency, the broker can make the decision to accept percentages less than normal. They can also do broker price opinions (BPOs). They will do a minimized appraisal that is usually twenty five to thirty percent of what an appraisal might cost.
Title Companies - Attorneys are very important to getting the deals closed. Look for a company or attorney that is flexible and investor friendly. They must understand how to do a double close. Money is not always in the bank on time. The closing company must be able to move money around in their accounts to get deals done. They need to close the deal even if the money isn’t there. the point is that they must be creative and willing to do what it takes to get the deal done with you.
Many title companies also will have on hand the Notice of Defaults (NOD), Notice of Trustee Sales (NOT) or Sheriff’s Sale. If you agree to close your deals with them, they may provide this list free or for a nominal cost.
Appraisers can make or break the deal. They can appraise the property for much lower or higher than is right and change the way the lenders are willing to fund the deal. Also, they need to understand how to do a “subject to” appraisal. A subject to appraisal is where the end number is subject to certain criteria, usually repairs being done and approved. Moreover, the appraiser must be fast and respond fast to work with you.
Deal Finders allow you to evaluate deal instead of always finding them. J. Paul Getty said,
“I would rather have one percent of one hundred people’s effort than one hundred percent of my own effort”
It is best to have a number of people finding deals for you and you evaluating deals. Leveraging other people’s effort is critical in keeping you flush with real estate deals to evaluate and work on. There are many people you can get to help you. It is really unlimited in this way. However, here are four categories of individuals that should work well with you.
Number one is stay-at-home-moms (SAHM). There is a tremendous work force of highly qualified, high intelligent women who have chosen to stay home and raise their children. I applaud them for their decision. Think about what an extra thousand dollars a month means to a family entity. That is an extra car payment and wardrobe! Single mothers also have motivation to assist in finding deals if they can work around the children. Students in late high school or college also are a group that will find deals for you. A thousand dollars to a college student is a gold mine and they can make it last for months if necessary. Rookie real estate agents are highly motivated to find their first deal or to gain momentum in their business. ninety seven percent of all realtors fail within their first year (National Association of Realtors NAR). Ninety nine percent fail within their first three years and ninety nine point nine fail within the first five years. It takes a special individual to succeed in the retail real estate industry.
Construction Partners fix the broken houses/properties and turn them into homes, businesses and office complexes. Make sure you do not use rookies here either. Use qualified, insured and bonded individuals and companies to complete the repairs on your properties. I know many will not listen to this next sentence. However, DON’T do the work yourself. The few dollars you save will not offset the opportunity cost or the deals you could have found while you were working. General contractors are best because they are licensed and monitored by the state. Additionally, they have decided on this practice as a career and have studied enough to pass a state exam.
After general contractors there are the licensed, insured and bonded contractors. If work is not done properly they hold a bond with an insurance company that will complete work right.
Finally, when you are doing deals consistently and have a rhythm working you can bring the crew in-house. Be careful that you are ready to do this. When you do there are mouths to feed and shelter to be provided.
Estate Planners ensure that you keep your fortune after you earn it. There is an old adage, “Its not what you make, its what you keep” While this is a cool saying, its rooted in keen thinking. A good CPA and a good attorney will save you a lot of money in the short and long run. Moreover, they can help you structure your companies and finances to maximize what you earn initially.
In summary, I have met many people who hear this lecture and do not heed it and struggle with real estate. On the other hand, I have yet to find one person that understands team building that has failed in real estate. More so than any other teaching, mentoring or coaching you will get, this is the most important lesson you can learn. Think of this… What would you be worth if you had Donald Trump’s contacts? Exactly, its not the industry you choose, its the team you build within the industry you choose that matters. Choose well you Key Resources™ and you will not struggle toward success, you will race toward it.

Did you know that there are two traditional work models in the information marketing business?
The first is working once and getting paid once. The second is working once and getting paid, paid, paid, and paid some more. And in a minute I’m going to tell you about a new third model that comes from the power of repurposing.
But first let’s take a closer look at the two traditional models:
Work once get paid once
This is the work model that most of the world operates under, including salaried employees. How much you make is limited by how many hours you are allowed or able to work. Even if you are a highly paid professional making one, two or even three hundred dollars an hour, you are still limited by the number of hours you can work. You are trading dollars for hours.
Work once and get paid, paid, paid
The internet allows you to work once and get paid, get paid, and get paid some more. When you create an information product and market it well, you can work once and get paid multiple times. This is a good work model, and light years better than trading time for dollars. Yet there is an even better work model.
Work once and get paid exponentially with multiple streams of income
With repurposing, you can create an information product, and then repurpose it into other deliverable forms. In this way you work once and then get paid, paid, paid exponentially. You have worked once and now can create multiple streams of income.
And now I’d like to invite you to learn more about the repurposing work model by checking out http://www.AlexMandossianToday.com to claim your access to over 4 hours of my TeleSeminar Secrets Training. While the next TeleSeminar Secrets telecourse does not begin until December, you can get a head start with this four hour training.
Look for the TeleSeminar Secrets logo…fair enough?
