...quickly position yourself to make any real estate consultant look bad."

If you are like most people, then you likely don't have the extra tens of thousands of dollars to spend on real estate consultants, courses and attorneys.  Or maybe you do, but you just don't know where to look for the right questions and answers in the first place.  Either way, we know gathering accurate information for the sake of getting up to running speed can be risky—because trial and error is costly.

Therefore, doesn't it make sense to know the specifics on the seven lessons that will never go out of style?  You might even say these seven lessons are classics.  In fact, as you will discover in Lesson 7, some of the modern day real estate regulations imposed by the Obama administration in 2010 weren't so modern.  In other words, when adopting stifling deed restrictions to block the general public (you) from buying and selling residential property, the Obama administration plagiarized regulations created almost 100 years ago by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration.

What's the point and why should you keep reading?

The point is—if you intend on placing your time and your money in harm's way, then doesn't it make sense to take a peek at the entire landscape first?  After all, there are scores of real estate training courses and advisors out there.  To attend one relevant class per each real estate niche would easily cost you the combined sum of a college tuition.  And that is assuming you knew which courses and events to stitch together in the first place.

Before you appoint a real estate consultant...or pursue pricy training on private lending, short sales and discounted pay-offs, lease options and master leases, flipping property, buying notes and secondary market investing, buying bank foreclosures, creating mortgage pools, no money down investing, self-directed IRA investing or even buying your first home...would you consider having the seven principles guiding all of these strategies?

All modern day real estate strategies—whether it's buying your first home or starting a full blown real estate company—are the offspring of the same seed.  And rely on the same basic strand of DNA.  This single item reveals the DNA code of modern day real estate in seven simple lessons.

If you—or your team—ignore these seven principles, then you will struggle in any type of real estate transaction you attempt.  Moreover, if you have already invested many thousands of dollars and are still struggling in real estate, the likely reason why is because you have failed to internalize these seven must-know commandments.

Currently, most licensed and accredited professionals (brokers, attorneys, accountants and etc) are ignoring some of these most important tactics; while skewing the facts about the remaining lessons.  To be blunt, the vast majority of professionals have little clue regarding at least three of these how to invest in real estate lessons.

Specifically, you will find that...lesson one, lesson three and lesson seven...are known or well-understood by only a handful of investment professionals.  And in case you don't believe me, here is a recent snippet of proof.

For instance, if you followed recent history, then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt what United States Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke—and other 'experts'—had to say about the 2007 U.S. housing collapse.  Here the red arrows (in the chart above) indicate a point in time when the 'experts' continued to defend their stance that housing was not in a bubble.

Not only did the New York Fed publish a study in December 2004 denying the existence of a housing bubble, Ben Bernanke echoed that message in the subsequent years leading up to the crash.  In other words, at the peak of the largest United States housing bubble in recorded history, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke—and other experts—declared publicly there was not a housing bubble.  Were they right?  No, in fact, they were dead wrong.

If you didn't follow recent history, don't worry.  In Chapter one, we reveal (in simple to view color charts) what ten United States local markets looked like leading up to the crash.  Including Las Vegas, Miami, San Francisco and more.  Frankly, you will also learn why it's pointless to invest in markets like Las Vegas if you are borrowing money from a bank.

If it's your aim to know how to invest in real estate and buy property like a pro—and avoid getting crushed by market cycle reversals—it pays to compare what various United States local markets look like.  And how each market appeared leading up to the crash.

Naturally, there are a few savvy individuals feeding on the cadaver remains of poor decisions made by others.  Be the hunter; not the hunted.  If you recall, nearly $8Trillion of wealth was lost following the 2007 United States real estate crash.  And many savvy individuals avoided the wreck entirely because they knew the rules of the game.  You too can discover these powerful insights (1) without breaking your bank account and (2) without wasting a lot of your time.

Clearly, this is where to start for anyone interested in:

A cost effective solution that points you in the right direction immediately.  A simple to read map that reveals how to navigate your way to more wealth—even if you get handed a broken compass.

Here's one final way to look at it...

Undoubtedly, you've heard of the Pareto Principle; aka the 80/20 rule.  Otherwise, known as the law of the vital few and the trivial many.  If you were to consider the Pareto Principle, then you would know 20% of the salespeople make 80% of the sales...20% of the writers sell 80% of the books...80% of your success and financial wellness is derived from only 20% of your activities.  And it just so happens the Pareto Principle applies to real estate information as well.

So what's the point?

The point to nail down is: these seven lessons (steps) comprise the few nuggets of gold, sifted from the 80% of useless sediment.  Engraved inside these pages lies the core 20% of information that matters most in real estate.  Not the 80% of uselessness that the cat uses to chase its tail.

This playbook was specifically designed so you can tackle modern day real estate head on; in a simple and cost effective way.  Before you start spending thousands of dollars on a real estate consultant, attorneys, educational courses, or even your first home, start with a low cost way to gain insider knowledge.

Why?

...Because if you were to heed the advice of a mainstream real estate consultant or broker back in the mid 2000's, you would have lost ocean's of wealth in real estate.  And the proof is front-and-center in the chart above.

Not surprisingly, many unfortunate souls are still losing money today by taking mainstream real estate consultant, broker and investment advisor advice at face value.  The goal here is to sharpen your sword with core real estate investment concepts that save you time and boost your financial returns.

Before I confess how neglecting just one of these elite money manager secrets back in 2003 blind-sided me, let's quickly spit out what else is part of the 20% basket of information that is responsible for 80% of your success in real estate.
