If there were only ONE skill you could have...the one that would help you get everything you want or need out of life...what would it be? Our good friend and mega-successful entrepreneur Ken McElroy says, "Sales solves every problem." Now he was talking about revenue being the answer to cash flow problems. But it got us thinking.  And his statement is far bigger than merely making money. After all, if you've ever tried to win the heart of that special guy or gal, or convince your headstrong child to make better choices in life, or simply want to win the debate about where to go on vacation this year...you've been using sales skills. And if you aren't getting your way more often than not, perhaps your sales skills need some attention. As real estate investors, we're constantly negotiating with buyers and seller, vendors and lenders, tenants and neighbors, and the list goes on and on and on. Even if you delegate to others, you still have to recruit and lead them.  And that comes back to sales skills. So tune in and see if you agree with us that sales is the one skill that solves every problem.

Attorney Mauricio Rauld joins us to discuss how legal changes are opening up a whole new world of opportunities for real estate investors. Less than a year ago the rules for soliciting investors were relaxed...allowing real estate entrepreneurs to be much more aggressive in seeking capital. That's great news if you're raising money. But it's also great news if you're looking for deals! Either way, the change should help more money make its way to Main Street, and that will affect ALL real estate investors.

The ability to own private property is the foundation for building wealth with real estate...or anything else for that matter. But what is “ownership” without control?  And what happens when society’s needs and desires slam up against individual rights? While most people agree an individual homeowner should probably be restricted from building a nuclear waste dump in their backyard in deference to the greater good of the community…should society be able to dictate how much rent landlords should be allowed to charge or who they rent to? It’s a touchy subject and conflicts occur all the time.  That’s where the lawyers get involved. So if you’re going to be a property owner, it’s a good idea to understand the basics of property rights.   In this episode we talk to a couple of lawyers who are involved in conflicts with government over issues of individual rights versus societal controls…some of which are over rights you might not even know exist.
