HomePittsburgh, Pa. - Real Estate Investors have 2 Major Obstacles that prevent thousands of people from getting started and earning a living investing in real estate.
Marketing to find properties and Research to discover if the deal will be profitable costs you time and money. If you know what you're doing it can be a great return on investment. If it was as easy as every T.V. infomercial "guru" proclaimed then over 1.7 million people a year would be earning millions of dollars every year... all for only 3 payments of $99 (plus of course the obligatory up-sell of the series of $3500 seminars you have to attend to learn the "real secrets").
The Old Way
Pete is your average, serious real estate investor. Pete runs ads in the local newspaper, hangs
"We Buy Houses!" signs and even does some radio advertising.
Pete gets hundreds of phone calls about potential properties. For each property that Pete hears
about he has to research what the market value of the property would be.
In the end Pete only buys a small percentage of the properties that he gets phone calls for. All
the time and money he spent running ads, managing the marketing, placing signs, networking, and
then researching the properties that he didn't buy is just wasted time that he could have been doing
other things that generate income.
If you're just getting started as an investor, the above scenario
takes up months instead of hours of your time.
To compete with Pete you must either invest more money than him to get the sellers attention, or get
lucky and find someone before Pete and the professionals in your area beat you to the Great Deals!

The Flip-Start Way
Mary and John are both working a full time job and raising 3 kids...
They know they can't rely on social security or even pensions with the economy being so volatile,
and real estate seems to offer more security and a real chance to grow their family's wealth.
But how do they find the pre-foreclosures, bank-owned properties, and sheriff sales before the "Big guys"
do and then intelligently research the properties to bid on them?
Flip-Start to the Rescue
Flip-Start.com not only finds the properties (often days or weeks before the full-time investors do) but
it also will give you the list of properties based on how much of the after repair value you can have in
the house.
This Modern day real estate investing tool will also do the tedious tasks of finding online appraisals,
and images where they are available!
Mary and John now can do more over a 15 minute break than Pete does in a full day, and they can respond
often before Pete even knows the opportunities exist.
