Podcast appearances and mentions of mike gazzola

According to Rob Walch of leading podcast server site Libsyn, 62% of the traffic on their site emanates from iTunes. That's still a very commanding share, but if 100 million people listen to podcasts regularly, that means that 38 million get their podcasts from non-iTunes aggregators. That's a lot of listeners and it opens up tremendous opportunities for aggressive, clever podcasters. Mike Gazzola gets more than 2000 downloads per day from Tunein Radio. He gets similar results from other podcasts. Isn't it better to be a large fish in a small pond, than a small fish in the Pacific Ocean? These smaller sites all have their featured and top picks. If you make it there, your traffic could escalate way beyond your most modest expectations. Try examing these other aggregators and see what happens to the popularity of your show.

Things are not always what they seem. One of Mike's students scored a major win at a recent tax deed sale. He thought he was buying a three bedroom house. However, upon taking possession he found out that it was a six bedroom home. Instead of collecting $750 rent per month, he will be getting over $1000. That's a major increase in the return on investment. It's all a question of supply and demand. There's just not that many homes around with that many bedrooms. He'll probably be converting one bedroom into a bathroom and once that's done, the rent could go even higher. End result, he'll be $40-45k all into the property and the property could be worth as much as $80k. An incredible return on investment. And anyone can do it. 

Mike reviews the results of one student's purchase at an upstate NY tax deed sale. His student purchased a 4 unit building for next to nothing, under $40k. Now he's been renovating the property and the returns are nothing short of amazing. Close to 25% cash on cash return when it's eventually fully renovated and rented. This little known auction has been the scene of many of Mike's students getting amazing deals. When it comes to buying deeply discounted properties, this place is king!

When Mike has a boot camp, amazing things seem to happen. That's because rather than telling you how to invest in real estate and how to buy properties, Mike's students actually make purchases at the auction. While prices as up, profits are still strong. Margins have come down, but opportunities still abound. Just do your research, plot your strategy and go forward. 

Yes the foreclosure inventory is decreasing. Some places in Florida and elsewhere are seeing their inventories are getting back to normal levels. However, buying REO's (Real Estate Owned) won't necessarily save you money and could cost you dearly. However, there are good values available. One trend that is definitely happening is that a higher percentage of homes that wind up in foreclosure are being sold to investors at auction. Previously, banks were taking back a high percentage of those properties and then selling them as REO's. We're not quite sure what to make of this trend yet, but it could be very favorable. 

While the volume of foreclosures has gone down in Florida it has increased in other places, particularly in the oil patch in Texas. The media is always playing catch up when it comes to the actual state of the real estate market. They seldom ever get it right when it's actually happening. That's why you need to figure out what the best market is for you. What are your goals, once you clear on this you'll be able to create a strategy. The real estate market is a moving target. Think for yourself, don't let the media do it for you. 

Mike discusses another foreclosure that turned into gold. He bought a 4 unit building for $78,100 in Fort Myers Florida. $45,000 was invested in improvements (subject to adjustments at the closing) and it was just sold for $235,000, a whopping profit of $111,000. Mike was planning to hold on to this one, but the opportunity to cash-in was just too great. He listed it for sale at $250,000. He was in no hurry to sell but almost instantly got an offer at full price. After inspection and adjustments for repairs, he settled for $235,000. Not a bad day's work. And you can be doing the same or better once you take Mike's course. 

Mike Gazzola, master real estate investor tells the story of how he bought a property for just $2000, put $8000 into it, and then proceeded to sell for a whopping $49,999, realizing a profit of $39,999, all in a very short period of time. How did he do it? The sellers had inherited a property in serious disrepair. The city was hounding them to cure numerous code violations and the the involuntary owners couldn't wait to dump it as quickly as possible. Upon seeing Mikes ad in a local newspaper, they quickly realized that he was their best out, even at $2000 and sold it to him. It was all done in a matter of days, without lawyers, title companies or realtors. Then Mike sent in the renovation team and for a relatively small investment, he was able to cure the violations and make the property saleable. Mike shows you how to turn other people's problems into your opportunity to profit.

Mike Gazzola has funded his retirement tax free, using a self-directed IRA. This approach may not be for everyone and he highly recommends that you consult your accountant, attorney and investment advisor. However, if you determine that it is for you, amazing returns are possible using this device that is available under the Tax Code. Simply stated, you roll over your traditional IRA or old 401k-without penalty into a self-directed IRA. Then when you're ready to buy a piece of property for your retirement account, you notify the custodian of your new IRA. The custodian writes a check to the owner of the property and presto-your IRA now owns the property. When you go to sell the property, the process is the reverse, the buyer now makes payment directly to your IRA custodian and all profits go back into your IRA. If you're receiving monthly rental payments, they also go right back into your IRA allowing you to make even more investments. This strategy might not be for everyone and there are pitfalls that you must become aware of, but if you decide it's for you, the rewards can be enormous. 

Mike Gazzola was sitting in his office in San Jose, CA twelve years ago pulling down a nice 6 figure income. He was cruising around eBay when he came made a discovery that would forever change his life. He found a $25,000 property that was generating $1,000 per month in rental income. The only problem was that it was located in Buffalo, New York. Mike picked up the phone and called the owner to make sure it was for real. He bought that property and proceeded to sell it for nearly double in less than one week. He was hooked. He called the seller back to see if he had anything else to sell. The owner said, "Sure, I've got lots, come check it out."  Later that week, Mike found himself on a redeye to the city of Buffalo (New York's second largest). He purchased 3 more properties and headed back to San Jose. Within a week, he had sold those properties for a near 100 percent profit. He called the seller back and suggested a partnership. The seller was hesitant, believing that Mike brought little to the table, until Mike explained that he had doubled his investment in a matter of days. Agreeing that Mike did indeed have something to offer, the seller agreed to a partnership, on the condition that Mike abandon his lifestyle in San Jose and move out to the frozen tundra of Buffalo.  As Mike considered the decision, his friends and relatives thought he had given leave of his senses. He was giving up 300 days of sunshine for 100 inches of snow. But as usual, Mike proved the naysayers wrong. He became generated millions of dollars in a very poor city. Upon achieving his success, two years later he moved to Southern California and built his dream house and started a family. But his success didn't stop there. He went on to purchase and flip hundreds of properties around the country generating several millions more in the process.  Today he teaches you what has taken him over a decade to learn.

In this episode Mike Gazzola explains how to use the banks' inefficiency against them. Multiple offers is the key. Don't sit around waiting for the bank to respond to your offer, make 10 or 20 offers and put the realtors to work for you. In the process, most of your offers will fall upon deaf ears, but some will receive an audience and an acceptance, and you'll be on your way to buying a property for way below market. Mike's done it loads of times and he shows you the way. Even though the real estate market has gotten stronger, there are tons of short sales in every city. Start looking now and you can't help but find some of them. Mike also shows you how to deal with bank owned properties. The key is not to let them manipulate you into a bidding war. Stay disciplined and stay tough! That's your key to big profits.

Mike Gazzola began investing in real estate at age 24. Twelve years later he has amassed personal wealth, authored a best-selling book called Real Estate Investing That Works, A Proven System, and worked to perfect a system being marketed worldwide, that shows people with or without capital or borrowing power, how to find undervalued properties and to invest successfully either by flipping, remodeling to sell, or holding and renting for a monthly income. He is eager to share his thoughts on when the time is right for investment (it's never wrong!) and what the risk pitfalls are that doom the “get rich schemes” shamelessly marketed to investors.

Mike Gazzola earned millions of dollars in real estate without borrowing a cent. There's very few other real estate investors, if any, who can make that claim. Therefore, his system takes the hope out of real estate investing. When dealing with 100 percent equity, buying distressed or undervalued properties, you're no longer in a situation where you're hoping that the property goes up in value. Your property is already in the black and you just have to sell it the way Mike teaches you to and you'll realize a profit. You're no longer tied to the gyrations of the market and the economy. It's really that simple.  For More Info Go To TeachMeMike.com
