"THE MENTOR PROJECT
Why are the elite "Third
Level" investment professionals different from everyone else, and how do
they win in the competitive real estate investment markets while First and
Second Level competition struggles?
The easy answer is that "Third Level" investors allow themselves to be drawn into a professional relationship at a deeper level that is free of pricing frustration, competition and the false information which plagues the experience of most First and Second level investors. The best answer requires a complete understanding of the mind-set that leads the top professionals to consistently renewable business relationships which other estate investors never enjoy. Throughout the Mentor Project's Business Development Series we will show you how to master the attitude and communication skills "Third Level" investors employ to build strong business partnerships which result in long term financial success and career satisfaction. The learning process begins here as a Member of the Mentor Project. And, it's Free.

The Commercial & Investment Business Development
Series
"Most investors never recognize the
extraordinary investment opportunities
that are right in front of them every single day."
Orland Fixx, - CEO, Fixx Financial
The "Forum Workshop
Live"
Denver, Colorado Financial Expo, May 8,
2008
Part I
"Introduction"
BEGINNING Join Bill Angove of Asset
Preservation Inc., and Forum Director, Bob Peterson as they present Part
I of the Business Development Series with
"Investment Analysis
Basics" followed by
The Power of Analysis & Strategy.
The top commercial professional will tell you their most important
and powerful marketing tools are the ability to properly analyze the investment,
and to identify tax deferred opportunities missed by the amateurs. This two
part presentation is the perfect introduction to success in the investment
and commercial real estate markets.
In Part 1 - "Investment Analysis Basics" Bill introduces the simple ways to analyze investment properties and determine value. He will demonstrate the correct way to determine rate of return, and how to achieve financial independence by unlocking new sources of income. Finally, you will learn how to start in the small commercial markets, and how to price these properties correctly.
In Part 2, "The Power of Strategy" , Bill reveals the extraordinary wealth building opportunity created through the rules and principles of the IRS 1031 tax deferred exchange. Imagine the ways to develop client relationships through the tax code. Help your clients increase cash flow. Reallocate, redistribute or consolidate poor performing properties into high performance assets. Create profitable partnerships, exit partnerships and resolve partnership disputes. Enhance financing options, and reduce management risk. Knowledge of the 1031 exchange rules is a powerful business development strategy in the hands of a skilled professional.
FIELD TRAINING The basic Lesson Plan consists of the first three Field Exercises of the "The Real Estate Investment Guide And Field Reference Manual". Please start from the beginning and study each of the first three Field Exercise as you encounter them. The Income & Expense Summary, the Decision Model (Cash Flow & Capital Gain Model) and Lender & Borrower - A Partnership. Work patiently. These field exercises are the technical preparation and form the proper foundation for the "Forum Workshop Live".
The proper understanding of each Field Exercise is critical. It is intended to insure that you can properly apply the principles and theory, and prepares you for the instruction that follows. The importance of this lesson plan can not be over emphasized as it forms the foundation for your entire real estate investing experience. Therefore, it is imperative that you be patient, and master the material contained in each Field Exercise.
Part II
"The Forum Workshop Live"
The "Forum Workshop Live" will prepare you for the "physical" aspects of the real estate commercial and investing markets as you come face-to-face with the properties, brokers, owners, mortgage professionals, property managers and the extraordinary cast of personalities that you will encounter in your daily activities. The "Forum Workshop Live" unites the first three field exercises of the "Real Estate Investment Guide & Field Reference Manual" with the day to day realities of the commercial market, and will set you clearly apart from the every day amateur - both professional and investor.
In Section 1, "The Principles of Value", Bob will define the "three" most important questions the you should ask, and what any real estate agent must understand in order to meet the expectations of the client. You will learn how the markets are organized, the role of the agent and how the principles of value are defined. Bob will share a series of extraordinary "value added" case studies in which exceptional profits were created through the imagination and creativity that was forged from the client/broker relationship. Bob completes Section 1 by building a simple business plan that can be easily integrated into the daily activity of any investor.
In Section 2, "Strategic Purchase, Management & Disposition", Bob conducts a "no holds bared" reality check as you discover very quickly that merely understanding the technical principles will be useless if you do not know how to apply them. How will you find the right property, in the right place at the right time. If you do, what is the correct price. How will you avoid costly mistakes. What are the best market conditions for resale, and how will you recognize them. What are the unforeseen property management problems. Should you attempt to manage the property, or hire a professional. Where will the needed financing be obtained, and at what cost. Is this property really as good as it looks, and what have you missed. Are you getting the right information from the agent, or property owner. Finally, if you do make a serious mistake, how will you recover. Whether you are buying a house for resale, an apartment building or a multiple tenant commercial building, as an investor or agent, your success will be forever measured by the extent to which you understand and embrace sound real estate investing principles. The"Forum Workshop Live", looks at the world of real estate investing in a way rarely seen by the average person. When you are finished you will know more about real estate investing than most any real estate professional you will ever meet.
Part III

valuable tool as you build confidence and success.
"Star Investment Analyzer has been amazing
for my business! I specialize in Multi-Unit Investment properties and the
Analyzer has been crucial in my success. I currently have a 24 unit
deal closing in November with a out of town buyer that the reports generated
on Star Analyzer helped to sell him on the investment!"
Jeff Coutts
Keller Williams Executives
“I use Star Analyzer to evaluate residential rental income property. The report called the Annual Property Operating Data prospectus (APOD) is indispensable to me and my investor clients in determining a property's value. As good as the software is, the folks at Star Analyzer are the real value. They listen, they respond - they are the poster child of great customer service.”

Cited by the Atlanta Business Journal as "innovative
and creative", the Investor Library is the exclusive copyright of the Northern
California Commercial & Investment Forum. The Forum's Program Library
has been developed over a period of more than ten years, and contains over
200 files and more than 400 pages of special presentations, illustrations,
spread sheet tools and more than 100 low down, no down and lease/option
techniques. Certain Library content is used with the "Forum Workshop Live"
video workshops to create a fully integrated "lesson plan" and, unlike
outdated books and audio tapes, all Programs are maintained on-line in order
to insure that workshop and Library content is up to date with current
real estate investment and market trends in every region of the country.
You will never be behind the market because the book or audio tapes you purchased
have lost their relevance.
The Forum's Investor Library is currently in use by college and university programs, and is licensed for training by financial institutions and private investment groups throughout the United States and Canada. The Forum's Program Library is available only to Members, and cannot be found anywhere on the Internet, in any library or book store.
The Investor Library
"The Real Estate Investment Guide & Field Reference Manual"
The "Real Estate Investment
Guide & Field Reference Manual" walks you step-by-step
down the road of success as you build building strong purchase, management
and strategic planning techniques from the single family rental to the largest
apartment buildings and commercial properties. If you are a new
investor it is the quintessential guide to selecting your first investment.
For the experienced investor it is the elite resource for refining
property and wealth building skills. We have provided for every need including
the purchase agreement, strategic check lists for the tenant lease, the most
frequently used property management forms and special tools to enhance your
investment analysis skills.
We have also included a supplemental program
"Aggressive Purchase
Strategies". Find out how the professionals
plan and execute aggressive purchase strategies beginning with 35 Proven
Techniques For Purchasing Real Estate Without Cash. Then, learn 25
Institutional Financing Techniques,
27 Techniques For Private Financing And Acquisition completed by
22 Techniques For Acquisition With A Lease Or Purchase Option.
"Understanding The Commercial Markets"
"Understanding the Commercial Markets" sheds all
the mystery associated with working in retail, office and industrial
properties. The term "commercial
real estate" often brings to mind multi-million dollar properties requiring
large amounts of capital and management experience. In reality the
vast majority of commercial property consists of small office, retail and
industrial buildings owned and operated by people just like you. You will
learn how the transaction is organized from first offer to the close of escrow.
Along the way you will be guided by carefully prepared legal,
physical and financial due diligence checklists. Learn
why the small commercial property is the crown jewel of the real estate
investment business, and exactly where to find it.
"Paper Profit & The Discounted Mortgage Market"
Is there an investment that yields a return
of up to 50% each year in which your principal is secured, management free
and that can be created with very little money? Yes there is, but you
will not find it in the usual places. Exceptional investment opportunities
arise form exceptional economic conditions. As the financial markets
begin to tighten underwriting standards it will be critical for the real
estate professional to understand how private financing is created, and how
the markets are organized. When Albert Einstein was asked if the Theory
of Relativity was his most important discovery he thoughtfully replied, "No,
compounded interest.". Ever since man began trading in the "coin of
the realm" the power of compounded interest has been the driving force of
all financial institutions. Your bank lends money to make money. Shouldn't
you know how to do it too. Paper Profit & The Discounted Mortgage
Market will show you how real estate professionals are creating huge
profits and extraordinary income by simply understanding how to originate,
buy and sell mortgage notes.
"Investor's Guide To Foreclosure, Probate & The Wholesale Markets"
This Program pieces together the most
misunderstood real estate market in our business today. It is portrayed
by media infomercials and Internet "Gurus" as an easy target of opportunity.
Many programs are filled with promises for a fast buck based on slick
schemes for separating troubled owners from their property, and their equity.
Others proclaim the opportunity to purchase properties far below fair market
value due to the market hysteria created by owners trying to unload repidly
depreciating real estate before it falls below their mortgage liability.
What the Guru's never tell you is that foreclosure is actually one
of the most competitive markets in real estate acquisition, and results in
the greatest failure rate for the inexperienced investor. This is
particularly true in declining markets where there is no realistic way of
assigning a market value to the property.
We have also included "Workout Strategies For The Foreclosure Professional" which is the foundation for all successful foreclosure practitioners. This publication has been drafted from the official guidelines established by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and is the basis for the loan mitigation policies of virtually all home mortgage lenders throughout the United State and Canada. Once available at considerable cost, this publication is no longer available to the general public. These guidelines outline the rules for delinquency resolution and foreclosure workout, and are essential to understanding how the foreclosure market works, and your place as a foreclosure professional in the process.
"Big Profits In The Small Partnership Using The LLC"
Learn the true real meaning of using OPM,
"Other People's Money" by unlocking the extraordinary wealth building
process of small group formation. "Big Profits In The Small
Partnership" opening the way for equity growth and continuing income
with absolutely no money out of the syndicator's pocket. You will be
guided through the LLC (Limited Liability Corporation) formation and promotion
process, and you will learn how to organize the financial participation
for both partner and syndicator. All you need is one and you can be
set for life.
"Commercial Real
Estate"
What Every Broker Should Know In A Challenging Market
Tom Stewart, Downey Brand , Attorneys LLP
The value of a commercial or investment property is built
on the strength of the lease. The lease is the "life blood" of the
business. This one of a kind presentation carefully guides the modern
real estate agent through the litigation mine field by focusing on what is
really important. Be sure your lease, or PSA ( Purchase &
Sales Agreement) is drafted correctly, and avoid costly litigation.
Ambrose Bierce said it best when he defined litigation as "a machine
which you go into as a pig and come out as as sausage." Avoid messy
disputes by getting your lease and purchase documents right the first
time.
"The Power Of Exchange"
ASSET PRESERVATION, INC. - A Stewart Title
Company subsidiary
The primary objective of this workbook is
to equip real estate agents and brokers with a basic background regarding
§1031 tax deferred exchanges and to provide a proven action plan for
identifying, contacting and marketing your services as a real estate
professional. The ultimate objective is for you to earn more commissions,
better referrals and learn new ways to market your services to investors.
As a result of your efforts,real estate investors should also be dramatically
improving their position in the real estate market and obtaining better return
on their investments.Background.
Since 1921, savvy investors and real estate professionals have been taking advantage of a powerful tax strategy created by IRC Section 1031 – the tax deferred exchange. You and your clients can accumulate wealth and preserve real estate assets by learning how to defer capital gain taxes when disposing of virtually any property “held for investment.” Thanks to IRC Section 1031, a properly structured exchange allows an investor to sell a property, reinvest the proceeds in a new property and defer all capital gain taxes.
"Consulting & Business Development Planning"
Someone said, "Plan your work, and work you
plan". Having detailed plans to follow is vital in achieving just about
anything worthwhile. The lack of good planning is a very common reason for
failure in many endeavors. As Napoleon Hill stated in the best selling
success book of all time Think And Grow Rich, "Most ideas are still-born,
and need the breath of live injected into them through definite plans of
immediate acton"
To become an expert (or to fine-tune your knowledge if you already believe you are one), you must be willing to roll up your sleeves and begin digging through information. Since not all information that you gather will be relevant to the development of your business plan, it will help you to know what you are looking for before you get started. In order to help you with this process, we have developed an outline of the essential elements of a good business plan.
Every successful business maintains a current business plan. Remember, too, that a business plan is a work-in-progress. As the market changes, you must adjust your plan to accommodate the changing dynamics. A clear definition of your business and services will be critical to your success. If you want your customers to believe in you they must be satisfied that your business objectives are worthy of their trust.
