Imagine owning part of a wine village - a development that features tasting rooms from a variety of off-the beaten track but high quality California wines.  And this development would feature, restaurants, picnic tables and an area for special events like weddings, fundraisers and concerts.  Sound good? Normally opportunities like this are only available to the ultra rich, but what if small investors had the chance to participate? On this episode of the Real Wealth Show, you’ll learn more about an asset that pays out monthly cash flow year after year after year, but also has the potential for incredible price appreciation.  And it tastes great too. :-) Our guest tells us how he is creating this very exciting and unique wine village near Shasta Lake in California...and how we might be able to join him. Marcus has over 35 years experience as a specialist in land and property development.  He has served as general partner and managing partner with companies possessing an excess of $250M in committed acquisition funds.  And he’s had a dream that is now coming true.    

As prices rise and cash flows decline nationwide, it’s more important than ever to do your homework before buying investment property. Only a few cities in America still offer the opportunity to buy property below replacement cost, and enjoy cash flow while values increase steadily over time. In this show, Kathy interviews both a property manager and acquisitions manager in the Indianapolis area. Find out why and where hedge funds are buying in Indiana, and how you can profit in this revitalized city.  

Investors are flocking to Dallas, Houston and Atlanta to buy apartments, but have they missed the boat?  If so, where is the next best deal in multi-family property? In this episode of the Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke interviews a veteran investor who liquidated at the peak of the bubble, and then jumped back in the game in 2009.  Since then he’s built up a $30M portfolio. Find out where he’s investing, what type of multi-family properties he likes, and how his unique strategy creates infinite returns.  

As you probably know, it's getting really hard to find deals these days in most U.S. markets. The properties in many markets have already gone up over 20-30%. However, Jacksonville, Florida is one part of the country still in the beginning stages of recovery. Because it's a judicial state it's taking much longer for banks to foreclose on properties so the area is now just starting to recover. International investors have been flocking to Florida for income property because they see the fundamentals for smart investing are there such as: > Job growth > Population growth > A desirable location > A limited supply of properties with an increase in demand Jacksonville, Florida is currently the most affordable coastal city of its size on the Eastern Seaboard. Actually, it's the most affordable coastal city of its size anywhere in the U.S.! In this episode Kathy interviews an experienced real estate investor, property provider, and avid surfer who grew up in New Jersey, moved to California for a while, and now lives and invests in Jacksonville, Florida. If you're interested in building passive income while mitigating your investment risk, then this may be the solution for you.  

It's hard to imagine that you could buy an investment property in a world-class city for under $200,000, let alone a multi-family building just miles from downtown. But right now, it's possible. Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the U.S, with a population of nearly 10 million residents. The metro area's $500 billion GDP is larger than the GDP's or Norway and Belgium combined! In this show, Kathy Fettke interviews one of the busiest and most successful multi-family property providers in Chicago. Find out how they acquire such great deals in the Windy City, renovate them to like-new condition at cost, place qualified tenants and providing on-going management for out of state investors.  

One of the ways to profit in real estate is knowing where an economic boom is brewing, and then buy property before the masses figure it out. New technologies have made it possible to tap oil and gas reserves that until now have been impossible to reach. This is creating jobs all over the country, and a desperate need for housing for the workers. One of the largest oil and gas reserves was just discovered outside of Pittsburgh, Pa. Jobs are abundant, yet home prices are still deflated. We believe this will change as demand begins to outpace supply. On today's show, Kathy Fettke interviews a real estate expert from the area to learn where he's buying and how he's helping real estate investors take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.  

Because it's one of the few remaining areas in the country where you can still get great deals, huge monthly cash flow and the potential for future appreciation. This episode of the Real Wealth Show is for new and experienced investors who are interested in creating passive income streams through high cash-flowing income property. Huge oil and gas reserves have been discovered in the Pennsylvania countryside between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Business is also booming in this area, yet nice homes in good neighborhoods and excellent school districts can be purchased for under $65,000.  

If you've been following the Real Wealth Show awhile, you'd know we've been bullish on Dallas since 2004. It was back then we noticed that California home prices were way over-valued, but that Texas property was 25% undervalued. We interviewed several high-level investors in our network who were selling their expensive California rentals and trading them for affordable homes in Dallas. Many of our listeners followed their advice, and in doing so, they quadrupled their monthly cash flow while protecting their equity. Does that opportunity still exist today? Our guest on this episode says "Absolutely!" Find out where she's buying and why she thinks Dallas is still the hottest city in the U.S. for both cash flow and equity growth.  

Texas has long been know for great cash flow on rental homes. But price appreciation in the Lone Star state has hovered around 3-6% for decades... until this year. Limited inventory due to lack of building over the past 6 years is driving prices up across the country. And since Texas is creating the lion's share of new jobs in this country, the population is growing rapidly. Low inventory levels combined with this stunning job and population growth is creating a unique opportunity to get both cash flow and appreciation. On this show, Kathy interviews a successful investor and property manager in Houston to find out how he's still able to find great deals for real estate investors.  

You've heard us talk about the incredible deal (or should we say "steal") that our members got in Tampa. As a reminder, the developer was able to tie up a residential land development project just 30 miles North of Tampa for 10 cents on the dollar. In this show, the developer, Tom, will give us an update on that project and other exciting things he has in the pipeline. As always, he shares his pearls of wisdom from over 30 years in the business.  

It seems hard to believe, but if you've been to Heavenly Ski Resort lately, you might have noticed a partially completed cement structure on Tramway. That was slated to be a high-end luxury condominium resort, but the former owners walked away after the housing bubble burst in 2009. They had invested nearly $40M in infrastructure, paying $15M for the land and $2M for the permits! In this show, we find out how Fred was able to secure such a deflated price. We'll also learn about his plans for the project that could net $30M in profits. Plus, he will be offering the completed condos to our members first at under-market prices. Very exciting!  

Everyday new technologies are being created to help make our lives easier.  On this episode of the Real Wealth Show, you'll learn about some new and improved websites specifically designed to help real estate investors.Our guest is the mastermind behind Reesio, a new start-up and sponsor of the upcoming RealTech SF 2013 event. Find out how systems have improved for: > Finding property on-line > Verifying rental rates > Gathering more data to for basic due diligence > Locating comps > Identifying good schools > Tracking crime rates > Learning about new and improved on-line pro forms  

A lot of people, including our attorneys and CPA's, are asking us how we're finding the incredibly lucrative, big deals we've announced over the past year. The secret is simple - it's our Network! Over the past 10 years, Real Wealth Network has built a reputation for aligning with the best in the business. We're up to over 12,000 members now. Some are brand new to real estate, others have been investing for decades. Today's guest has been a developer for 23 years. His relationship with other builders (also in our network) has led him to some extraordinary deals that never end up on the MLS. But they do make their way to Real Wealth Network, and we are grateful. :-) The most recent is a property that was in escrow at the peak of the market for $160M - that Tom tied up for $16M. Find out how... and what's in it for us.

Good real estate investing requires that we not only study the past, but also look to the future for our next moves. At the beginning of the year, Kathy did some brain-numbing research, spoke with several of her favorite experts, asked for feedback from Real Wealth Network affiliates throughout the country -- and she even tapped into her own inner wisdom. From that, she wrote about her 10 predictions for real estate investing in 2013 in the Real Wealth Report. Now that we're moving into Q2 of 2013, we'll look at how accurate Kathy's predictions have been so far and what moves you might want to take with your investing.
