Today’s topic is “How to Get Started in Real Estate Investing.”
I know that seems like a topic that would take more than 5-10 minutes but not really. I break it down to FOUR MAIN ACTIONS TO TAKE:
EDUCATION is of critical importance! The more you know the less likely it will be that you will make major mistakes. Now, let’s be real, you will make mistakes! All of us do. But you can reduce the number of casualties.
FREE STUFF!
You can literally obtain TONS of free real estate investing information
WARNING! Many – Most of the people providing this info have something to sell. Lock up your credit cards before launching into this step. These guys & gals are excellent salespersons. And that’s OK. They’re just trying to make a living. But it is very easy, if you’re not careful, to spend thousands of dolars on products, programs. Etc. and before you know it, you have nothing left to spend on properties.
MENTORSHIP
MAKE A PLAN
ACTION - JUST DO IT!

Since 2007, Jeff Greenberg has been investing in multi-family assets in emerging markets. An MBA with over thirty-five years experience in management, staff supervision, development, and training, Jeff started real estate investing while employed full-time in a demanding job. Jeff focuses on acquisitions, investor relationships, contract negotiations, business systems development, business management and asset management. In this episode Jeff shares how, with limited time, he carefully evaluated and selected properties that would yield the highest return on investment to set the foundation for the retirement of his dreams.
What You Will Learn:
More about Jeff Greenberg
Jeff’s interest in the real estate business was triggered after he went hiking with a friend in 2005. His friend mentioned that he was getting into real estate and as Jeff inquired further, he realized that there was so much more to this type of business than he had imagined. What also peaked his interest was that after his divorce, he had no funds for retirement, and he felt that this was a viable solution to that problem. He explored the market trying to find out exactly what he would be interested in doing and what niches would be best for him.

Courage to Continue
He courageously tried investing in single family homes, fix and flips through foreclosures ,and REOs during the economic crisis of 2007 but this would prove to be a bad time for such a move. However, Jeff was not daunted. Although he never did a single flip at that time and the only single family property he acquired was his own, when he was introduced to multi-family investing, he jumped in with excitement, making his first multi-family investment in a 20 unit property and has not looked back since.
Understanding the Dynamics of Investing in Real Estate
As you listen to this program, you will acquire a wealth of information about the dynamics of investing in real estate and how to use the seminar circuit and the importance of networking. Jeff honestly makes recommendations and gives pertinent advice to the newbies as to how they can educate themselves, network and spread their wings to be successful. He takes listeners through the process of dealing with property managers and explains the importance of having boots on the ground—someone who knows the local market well.
Real Estate Knowlege is Power
This is a phrase that we hear all the time, certainly, in this case, it is absolutely relevant. Having experienced the ups and downs, the pitfalls and the challenges, Jeff opens up about the biggest mistakes that he has made and how having the relevant information could have saved him thousands of dollars. He believes that it is of utmost importance that you delve deep into due diligence before putting one cent into investment properties. Here is your opportunity to learn how to do it the right way.
RAP-UP SESSION—Jeff’s Favorites
Favorite Real Estate Book
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki
According to Jeff, this book changed his paradigm and showed him that he could indeed be an entrepreneur and he did not have to settle for a 9 to 5 job.
Favorite General Business Book
E-Myth by Michael Gerber
Jeff thinks that this book shows you how to work on your business instead of in your business; as well as how to stop being so busy that you overlook what is really going on in the business.
Most Valuable Website Outside of His Own
For information, Jeff prefers www.biggerpockets.com as he thinks it is the best place to get real estate information. He also listens to several podcasts including
Old Capital, Joe Fearless and of course he will be adding the Old Dawg's REI Network podcast to that list.
Favorite App
Evernote is his favorite app to keep notes and he also likes it because he can use it on his phone and computer; that way the notes are always available. However, Dropbox is critical, and he uses it to store and protect his data and files instead of the flash drive or hard drive; like Evernote, he can get it on his phone and computer.
Thank you all, we appreciate everybody. Have a blessed day
