real estate news SOURCE OF INCOME A NEW PROTECTED CLASS Senator Orrin Hatch & Senator Tim Kaine have introduced a bill named Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2018 S3612. This bill, while unlikely to move due to its late introduction, does raise a very concerning issue, specifically that of adding two more protected classes: Source of Income and Veterans. This bill is being watched closely and is unlikely to even make it to a committee hearing, but it has been assigned. The Act amends the Fair Housing Act to 'prohibit discrimination based on the source of income or veteran status.' Why this is very concerning is that it would make source of income, like Section 8 Housing Vouchers a protected class, like Race, Religion or Disability among others. So a person who rents a home would not have a choice in renting to someone with a voucher. And should that someone have some sort of life change: get a better job and earn more money or have a child reach the age of 18, they could lose all or part of their voucher and no longer be able to afford your home. If you invest in Kansas City, the City Council is also considering making source of income in the way of housing vouchers a protected class.

OPPORTUNITY ZONES Perhaps, one of the greatest opportunities for real estate investors of all types to come along in quite some time and something we are going to be hearing about quite a bit in the near future. What is an Opportunity Zone? Created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, an Opportunity Zone, is an economicallydistressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as Opportunity Zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service. They are an economic development tool— designed to spur economic development by providing tax benefits to investors.

First, investors can defer tax on any capital gains from the sale of an asset by investing those gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (these are funds created to invest in Qualified Opportunity Zones) Second, if the investor holds the investment in the Opportunity Fund for at least ten years, the investor is eligible for an increase in basis of the QOF investment equal to its fair market value on the date that the QOF investment is sold or exchanged. Grow Your Business
What is a Qualified Opportunity Fund? A qualified opportunity fund is any investment vehicle organized as a partnership or corporation for the purpose of investing in one or more qualified opportunity zones. An opportunity zone fund must hold at least 90 percent of its assets in qualified opportunity zone property.

DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU WIRE In the news a few weeks ago, a Lawrence Man wired $88,338 as the down payment on his home. There is a law suit against the Title Company, Mortgage Company and Real Estate Companies failed to warn him of the scam whereby hackers find out about the transaction, pretend to be some person in the transaction and then email bogus wire instructions. Thinking the bogus instructions are legitimate, the person wires away their money, never to be seen again. So for all our readers, be sure to warn any buyers or private lenders of the scam and give them some extra steps. 1. Make sure you provide the person doing the wire with a phone number and name of a contact at the title company, preferably over the phone or via text, not in an email.
changes in wire instructions as they very rarely change. And keep in mind that in several cases, title company, mortgage company and real estate company have all be found liable for not making clients aware. So we advise all of our readers in these industries as well as real estate investors selling houses or borrowing fund privately to warn clients of these issues. Locally, Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors has released a notice to provide to buyers or sellers that their member Realtors can use and anyone could adapt to their own needs.

DISPUTING REAL ESTATE TAXES The tax bills came in the mail last month. Do you think yours was a bit too high? . We did a little research to get the basics:

property, you may still have a case.
When the county assess your property to come up with your tax they look at the facts they think they know about your property: Lot Size, beds, baths, age, etc. Be sure to check to make sure they have the right information, it might be they think your property is bigger or better than it actually is as the county records are not quite right. Next look at the assessed value to see if it appears correct with the rest of neighborhood.
File your Appeal
Is it Worth an Appeal?
Armed with your data, file an appeal with the county. Do make sure to know how time frames as you probably only have so many days to file. Miss this year’s deadline, you can always try next year. We have a few resources for you in the Kansas City metro at www.MAREI.org/RETaxes
If you are going to flip it right away probably not, but if the facts are wrong or the assessed value is too high and you are going to hold this property and pay taxes on it for 30 years. Or if the property valuation is based on the income and expenses, as in a multi-family property, it may be worth your time. Do it yourself or hire it done? For a single family house, it may be fairly easy to get a form from the assessor’s office, collect a few comparables and other data and turn it in within the allotted time. If your property is a multi-family or if you have a lot of properties, it may be worth the time to pay someone to do it. Get Comparables
KCRAR MARKET UPDATE
Ask a Realtor to find three to five comparable properties in that have recently sold in your neighborhood. Check those sales against the county assessed values. If the assessed value on the comparables are lower than the assessed value on your property, you may have a case. Or if the assessed values are similar to yours, but those comparables are superior to your
The booming U.S. economy continues to prop up home sales and new listings in much of the nation, although housing affordability remains a concern. Historically, housing is still relatively affordable. Although Freddie Mac recently reported that the 30-year fixed rate is at its highest average in seven years, reaching 4.94 percent, average rates were 5.97 percent ten years ago, 6.78 percent 20 years ago and 10.39 percent 30 years ago. Nevertheless, affordability concerns are causing a slowdown in home price growth in some markets, while price reductions are becoming more common. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that the national unemployment rate was at 3.7 percent. Low unemployment has helped the housing industry during this extensive period of U.S. economic prosperity. Home buying and selling activity relies on gainful employment. It also relies on demand, and builders are showing caution by breaking ground on fewer single family home construction projects in the face of rising mortgage rates and fewer showings.

hyp·no·sis n. pl. hyp·no·s An artificially induced altered state of consciousness. (1) Real Estate Hypnosis is the artificial induction of believing the “rules” of real estate don’t change. That wellestablished principles of real estate must be followed or you risk failure.
MAREI.org
(2) Real Estate Hypnosis is an industry-wide belief that success can only come by doing what other successful investors have done in the past. (3) In other words, Real Estate Hypnosis is teaching all investors to do the same thing. It’s setting forth artificial guidelines that must be followed and therefore, we as investors lose the very essence of what makes investing in real estate so great. Creativity! Throughout the course of history, the people that are remembered, are the people that did things
differently. They bucked the trend. They did things society or industries told them couldn’t be done. They sang songs and played music the “public” didn’t approve of. In other words, they diagnosed the hypnosis society was imposing upon them and did things their way, despite the potential backlash. Do you often wonder why you haven’t done a real estate deal? Do you want to do more deals?

Are you frustrated because there is so much competition with other investors? How would you like to find deals other investors don’t know about? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you have to get rid of your Real Estate Hypnosis and start doing things differently. Don’t know where to start? Well, let’s start from the beginning. Have you heard other investors tell these “Lies”? 1) “You make money when you buy”; 2) “You need money to make money”; 3) It’s all in the numbers. Let’s dismantle these Lies. Lie #1: “You make money when you buy” I can’t tell you how often I hear this outdated cliché. When I first started investing, every “guru” I heard was teaching techniques on how to get the seller down on his price. “Beat the Seller Up”, “Low Ball the Seller” and/or “Make the Seller give you their price first”.
told you that you could offer MORE than asking price and still be massively profitable. Most people look at the price and the single most important item when deciding to buy or sell a home. I could care less about the price. I want the seller focused on the price so that I can focus on what I want. Terms! Lie #2: “You need money to make money” This is the most powerful hypnotic lie for most investors. For most of my students, this is the biggest barrier they need to break down. This is the single most powerful belief preventing your success. I know. I believed it for a very long time myself. I thought if I don’t have money to invest, how am I going to buy a house or rental property. However, I am living proof that you don’t need money to make money. I had no money when I first started. When I say no money, I mean no money. In fact, my very
first deal I didn’t have the $4,000.00 in closing costs needed to close the deal. I took out a cash advance credit card loan to pay for it. Yet today, I am a wellestablished millionaire. You can be too. You just have to disregard the belief that you need money to invest. Truth #2: “The money is the easy part” I tell all my students “If the deal is good enough, the money will find you.” It’s true. There is so much money out there. Just because you don’t have money, doesn’t mean the guy next you doesn’t either. In fact, most of my students are amazed at how quickly the money comes to them when they send it out. You see if you are analyzing your deals the right way. If you are writing your offers the right way and the deal works, the money is the easy part. I know that may be hard for some of you to believe, but I want you to re-
They even teach the “Offer Formula”. You know the one where they tell you to offer the seller 65% of the ARV (after repair value) minus the repairs. I hate this formula and I hated “beating up” the sellers on their asking price. Frankly, the reason most of you aren’t doing more deals is that you are following this archaic formula. Truth #1: “Price is irrelevant” What if I told you that you could pay the full asking price and still be massively profitable. What if I

ally work on believing that that money will find you, once you have a good deal. Lie #3: “It’s all in the numbers” Don’t misread this! The numbers are very important. If your numbers are off, you can turn a good deal into a bad deal very quickly. The reason this is a real estate lie is that “experts” teach you to: a) Find Leads; b) analyze the numbers; and c) write your offers. Again, these 3 steps are important steps, however, they are missing the biggest piece: The communication piece. How are we negotiating? How are we overcoming the seller’s objections? How are we getting them to a “yes” state? The numbers are important. Yet, if you are focusing only on the numbers, it’s the reasons you
Page 10
are not doing more deals. Truth #3: “Communication is the key to success” Every word you use. Every phrase you speak has an impact. That impact can be negative or positive. The words you use, the way you dress, how you hold your body language and the tone of your voice, will determine how many deals you do. You see, seller’s want you to be the expert. They want you to be their problem solver. They called you to help them. To be the expert, you have to act like an expert. This may be challenging for someone who is new to the business or may not have a lot of experience. That is why we teach you how to walk, talk and dress. You need to know how to write contracts that deflect objections. You need to know the words that bypass the conscious filters. You need to know how to develop a rap-
port with a seller simply by mirroring their body movement and language patterns. If you do these things, you will be a master communicator and master communicators are the investors doing the most deals. Chris McClatchey is a nationally recognized speaker who prides himself on the ability to "Educate highly qualified individuals on how to build multi-million dollar real estate portfolios using creative financing techniques, private lenders, partnerships, and retirement accounts." Chris believes that everyone is capable of better managing their time and money, and he’s dedicated to assisting people in discovering their “Why” and learning to incorporate the “How”, in order to ‘get out of their job and into their life’. He will be joining us at MAREI In January 2019.

Podcasting Your Way to Success in Real Estate. Article by Kim Tucker It’s a brand-new year and a time when we are all excited about change. For those of us in real estate it’s all about Finding our Why, our reason for investing in real estate. Setting Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. Then working those goals backwards to set up an Action Plan so you can get in there and Grind them out. All great key words that all the selfhelp gurus out there will explain and outline. But let’s take a step back and ask . . . if Real Estate Investing is going to be your Vehicle to reach your goals in 2019 and beyond do you know (1) what is the best way to invest to reach your goals and (2) where to get the education you need and (3) what are the action steps you need to take or outsource to get where you need to go. Let’s tackle these three questions individually. What is the Best Way to Invest to Reach Your Goals?
Page 12
When you sit down and examine your “Why” you want to invest, this why will probably connect in some way to money. You want to pay off debt. You want to save up money for the kid’s college or for retirement or heck to pay off your own college. You want an alternative income stream to replace your job. Am I even close here? Then it comes down to two basic ways of investing that either focus on building up chunks of cash or building up residual income. If you want to go the chunks of cash route, you will probably want to look at wholesaling or rehabbing to resell as flipping generates big chunks of cash. Some methods of wholesaling don’t even require you to buy anything or have any cash to invest if you assign the contract. And for our team, in 20 years in this business flipping houses wholesale AND renovating them to resell, 90% of the time we use NONE of our own funds. If you want to go the residual income route, you are probably looking at buying rental property or investing in
notes, both of which can also be done with little to no money. Take a look at what Chris McClatchey is teaching at MAREI in January, he buys small multi units with none of his own cash in the deal and no bank loans. If you want to go the hands-off route for chunks of cash or return on investment and have access to cash, but not a lot of time to invest, you might want to learn some basics and then lend your funds for a return on your money. This is where my IRA and 401k are at, they don’t have a lot of time to do anything, but they can lend to a very experienced investor and earn a 10% plus return. I would suggest a new investor spend some time with free or very cheap resources researching the basics of the different ways to invest. You can hit up the internet for videos and podcasts where this investor or that investor explains what it is they do and basically how it works. You can also attend MAREI meetings to see the guest speakers do in their own investing business.

Where to Get the Education, You Need: Here you have a ton of resources. Some are FREE. Some are CHEAP. Some are REASONABLE. And Some are OUTRAGEOUS. FREE Resources: They can be great to learn little tidbits here and there. These include things like blog posts, podcasts, videos, webinars and the like. When you are in the learning stages and want to get a good feel for how something works, these are all great. Here at MAREI we have quite a few linked from our website at www.MAREI.org/Podcast/ OUTRAGEOUS Resources: These are the ones that you should research greatly before spending the money. They come in two forms, the guys that come to town all on their own with their free seminar and the guys and gals that sometimes speak at the REIA group, like MAREI. These folks have training to sell you that may or may not be great. They generally want a pretty penny for this training and they get you all excited. So how do you know what’s good and what’s not. First, take a look at the trainers coming through the REIA group. These are folks that have trained at other REIA groups, have had people buy their courses at other groups and have had their customer service tested through other groups. You can be fairly certain that their materials will teach you what you want to know and that they have good customer service and stand behind their product. And if they don’t, well you have the REIA group behind you to go to bat for you. These trainers usually will have some free material on the internet for you to find and will come in with an introductory presentation at the monthly meeting. This presentation is not to teach you step by step how it all works, but to give you a good broad overview of the trainer’s model of investing, so you can make a decision, is this type of investing for me and do I want to learn more. They then teach a one or two-day workshop to allow you to get to know more about them and to focus on the top key aspects of their type MAREI.org
of investing and teach you one or two bullet points of 4 or 5 key aspects. You can then take a few of these bullet points and key aspects home and plug them in. For example, last January when Robyn Thompson taught her two day seminar she had a few list resources for marketing that I have never used, a company that would handwrite my letter that I now use and some negotiation strategies that we added to way of doing things. Then from this workshop you can go home an implement, or you can spend a Reasonable Amount of money on a home study training course with step by step instructions and/or bootcamp that will give you hands on training that you can’t really get from a book or audio file. What’s Reasonable – usually under $2500. Some of these trainers at MAREI then offer Mentoring, that some may want or need and others may not. Most of the trainers that come to MAREI do have some sort of Mentoring Package, but it is not a buy right now or else type of pitch. They give you time to go through the home study, do your research and homework and then sign up for different scales of mentoring if you choose. Personally, I have signed up for a couple of mentoring packages with trainers that were investing the way I wanted to invest. Others have looked great, but were not my focus so I passed on them. Then we have the guys and gals that come to town all by themselves outside of the REIA group. They telemarket to you, send you private invitations (your name is on a list you know – people of a certain age that own their own homes, that have signed up for this or that online, the list gets sold to these people) or they find you with a radio or Facebook ad. They work this way: (1) come to our free seminar (like we have a meeting at MAREI so ok so far), (2) sign up for our Saturday Workshop for just $500 (MAREI’s is usually under $100),(3) They teach you how to raise limits on your credit card (which is just plain criminal really), and (4) then buy our one size fits all, learn everything you ever needed to
now about real estate investing and several things you will never use all for the low, low price of $40,000. The speakers that come to MAREI have several pricing packages, but I have never seen $40,000 and they are all focused on one aspect of investing. After 20 years in this business, and hearing complaints from the many people who come to MAREI after spending $40k: You don’t need a one size fits all. What you need is the training on the one thing you want to do right now. Add the other stuff, if you ever need it, the buy I later when you have more time and money. And if you are unhappy after agreeing to $1000 being charged to your credit card for the next 40 years, you have no REIA group behind you to go to bat for you with these traveling circuses. You are just you, all on your own, with out the power of 50 other group leaders that could all ban then from the stage if they treat our people badly. Yes the REIA group makes a bit of money on the sale of the materials sold at their events, and some people seem to have a problem with that. But do keep in mind that meeting rooms are not free, that websites are not free, that newsletters cost money to make and print, and there is a lot of time spent putting these events together. Not to mention all the advocacy the local group puts in on your behalf, whether you know about it or not.. Let’s talk CHEAP and REASONABLE: Here at MAREI we like to think that our Saturday workshops offer very valuable information and training for a very CHEAP price. Plus, you get fed and you have an entire day to network with people in the room, all who are in similar situations as you. I have attended every single meeting and workshop presented at MAREI, Ok, I have missed one or two. I have traveled to other REIA groups across the country to see other speakers, and I can tell you that this is going to be some of the best cheap education you will ever receive. Especially if you are just de-
Page 13
ciding if whatever the speaker is teaching is the right way to invest for you. Would you rather spend $100 and spend 8 hours to learn that there is no way you would want to rehab and sell houses with Robyn Thompson or $40,000 with Than Merrill at Fortune Builder’s (who was trained by Robyn Thompson by the way). Reasonable. I saw a post on Facebook the other day that according to Google, one would pay over $10,000 in tuition and fees for public in state collages in one year. And we send our kids there for 4 to 5 years, plus help them pay room and board and for what, to hope they get a great job when their done. I think our cost for one child was over $60,000 for 4 years at KU and what did he do when he graduated with no jobs available at the time, he became a real estate investor. And you know what. He has a lot of friends envious of his ability to work when he wants to, take off for trips when he wants to. Suddenly a CHEAP, a REASONABLE and even OUTRAGEOUS training is looking pretty good. So back to our title – Podcasting Your Way to Success. Let me share my story. I got started back when there were not many Podcast, but we still had free online training. My plan was to
Page 14
figure it out from the FREE and Cheap. Go to meetings, read forum posts, read online articles watch the few videos out there. I could, over time, figure it out. And we did to a point, we just jumped in and started investing and figured it out as we went along. Then in 2003 I went to a big real estate investor convention that was fairly Cheap and saw a bunch of speakers on all the topics you could think of. We saw one on Wholesaling from a guy who no longer teaches. I bough his course for $700. I brought it home and stuck it on the shelf and got nothing out of it for about 3 months, I had no time to dig in as I was busy listening to the equivalent of free podcasts. Then one day I got it out and read it again and started at step one and did exactly what it said step by step and you know what. In about 30 days I had a killer deal on the hook. You see at the time we were buying bank owned properties that I had access to as an agent in the office that listed bank owned properties. We rehabbed them, and we sold them and on average, made about $18,000 to $20,000 a house with about 3 to 4 months of time invested in each deal. With this course and doing exactly what it said, using the marketing resources provided, we bought a house for $12,000 cash, and then we sold it in a week for
$23,000. With about 4 hour’ worth of work, we made about $10k after all expenses on something we owned for less than 2 weeks. Could I have figured out wholesaling on my own, probably. Could I have done it in a weekend and 4 hour’s worth of effort, probably not. That one training course has netted me $100,000s in profits since 2003, EVERY YEAR. Fairly well worth the $700 bucks and the travel to Florida. And our rehabbing? Well I wish I would have met Robyn Thompson much sooner. I am fairly certain her bootcamp would have improved our profits greatly in those early years.. So, for me, when I want to add a new way of investing to my tool box, I go buy a training course in the Reasonable category and from time to time, with a lot of research, I might buy a Mentoring program on a very key and targeted way of investing. I just don’t think I can quite get that from a podcast or a cup of coffee with a local investor. I do like coffee with the local investor for connecting more on a personal level and getting to know the people I work with in the industry.
