The BawldGuy Inner Circle — Here’s the Scoop Real Estate Investors

Posted @ 1:17 am - Filed under Real Estate Investing, Check This Out, Real Estate Markets, Inner Circle

There has been occasional mention on this blog the past several months of special deals, builder discounts, and the like. Between what Josh and I personally negotiate and what, in my opinion, will no doubt be the premier investor site of its kind in the country, our clients are privy to some pretty attractive opportunities.

Though I’m not at liberty to say quite yet, (Brown and Brown’s VP in charge of being under 30 laid the law down.) I’ve been headhunted along with a handful of other brokers around the country, (and I do mean small handful) to take our own handpicked investors and create what I’ve been calling for years — The Inner Circle.

Members of this group will be made aware of opportunities for which the public at large will not be exposed. My firm started this approach as a sort of pilot program earlier this year. It’s been an unqualified success.

How do interested real estate investors qualify? To dispel your first inclination towards skepticism, you won’t qualify by showing up with a pulse and the innate ability to fog a mirror. Not in this or any other lifetime.

Your credit must be acceptable to lenders — and I don’t mean by the skin of your teeth. :)

You must not only have at least three deals under your belt, but also be able to show at least $50,000 in liquid assets.

What kind of inside stuff are we talking about? How ’bout one we’ve been doing this year in a western state, (younger Brown again being a pain about info) with luxury condos. They’ll be finished in the spring. They’re priced in the low $200’s, members onlywill rent for above local market rates, and the quality of tenants is already stellar for the first phase units.

Oh, and something else.

Inner Circle members are the only ones who have heard of this, and the only ones who will. Without going into details, our investors are being credited with massive cash at closing. Yeah, right you say — describe massive. OK. Try five figures. Half the members of our Inner Circle, when told of the opportunity, literally asked how many they could buy. So far, none have bought less than two. They’re giddy the deal’s so cool.

So are we.

That project isn’t even the best — not by a long shot. It’s about middle of the road for what we’re talkin’ about here. Between what we’ve found personally, and what the new site has acquired, most regions of the country are already represented.

Again, only Inner Circle members will be made privy to these projects. They won’t be found on this blog, or our site — only by personal communication — us to members.

The reason we have to be fairly picky about the investors we allow in, (and the number will be very limited, probably around 50 or less, then the door closes) is because of the commitments we make with either the developer or builder of the various projects. In our own company’s beta test, we told the builder we’d move the alloted properties in 60 days or less. You can’t make those kinds of statements unless you perform.gold Builders and developers aren’t exactly charter members of the second chance brigade. Know what I mean, Verne?

Therefore, the investors we put into these projects must be, more or less golden — at least from the prospective of the seller. Current events in lending, haven’t raised developers’ confidence level either, as you’d imagine.

These opportunities range from pre-pre-construction land, to duplexes, to townhomes, to fixers complete with built-in equity — and more — much more.

Brown and Brown will of course protect our own current Inner Circle members. They’re the cream of the crop, totally vetted by years of experience, and have been kept liquid from day one due to our insistence on significant cash reserves. (Sominex (Ambien) Accounts)

If you’re a serious real estate investor, and are interested, here’s what you can do.contact us

Contact us through this blog by going to the column on the right, at the top — Contact BawldGuy.

Simply let us know you’d like to become an Inner Circle member. If you do this, you will be opting in to email communications from Brown and Brown. The Inner Circle will be constantly kept in the loop when new projects release product to us.

A quick note on what kind of project makes the grade. So far, less than one of thirty have made it to the end of the filtering process. This is true for us personally, and for the investment site of which we are part. Developers must answer literally pages and pages of questions — just to become part of the vetting process. No massive front loaded info — we’re not interested — and their projects don’t get considered.

Also, the deals have to be crazy good in and of themselves, on their own merit. Price alone will not get a project to even ping our radar. All aspects must meet our gold standard, or we pass. Also, all projects are personally inspected, feet on the ground — no exceptions.

top secret

Each project will offer from half a dozen to 20-30 properties. Most if not all of them will be gone within two days to two weeks of making our Inner Circle list. It will basically be the quick and the dead. :) Those who hesitate will literally be lost.

This isn’t for talkers — it’s for doers.

Your communication with us will be kept private — period — and forever. The CIA is jealous of how we keep our clients’ info secret. :)

The doors to The Inner Circle are officially open.

  • I have to admit I find the tone of this post a little off-putting. It sounds much like “Act Now or miss out! Deal of a Lifetime! Only a select few will be admitted!”

    I liked what you said about BofA and Countrywide - it was just a good essay. This is something closer salesmanship. As a blog reader I’m looking for an adviser not a salesmen.

  • Hans - I can certainly see your point, as it can credibly be taken that way by those who are by nature, somewhat skeptical. However, it’s not as you suspect.

    My firm, and a very few others, have been working very hard for nearly a year, putting together a separate business model that would provide ‘way better than market deals’ for our clients.

    We wanted to find a way to take advantage of our decades of experience, and use it to go around the country finding smokin’ deals. Turns out, it was a great idea. We do actually know what we’re doing.

    So far, it’s worked out very well. The deals we negotiate never hit the general public. There are six of us, plus the owner of the other website who know the deals even exist. We call our clients and they decided whether they’re in the position to make a move or not.

    Much of the time, the prices are below market value — our clients’ closing costs are often paid for them — and on a few projects we were able to get the developers to credit our clients for prepaid professional management, loan costs, and HOA fees.

    So you see, the intended tone was meant to provide a real world opportunity to be one of the ‘insiders’. When I say the public won’t get a whiff of these deals - I mean it. The ONLY reason it’s even on my blog is because we’ve now found enough of these great bulk deals to expand those ‘in the know’ so to speak.

    Even then Hans, the next 12 months will probably see a total of less than 200 properties sold to our Inner Circle. Most of these Inner Circle clients will not buy just one, but several, which will leave those who hesitate empty handed. Our standards are so high, only about 3% of the projects we analyze even end up being accepted by our group of brokers.

    Since we’ve been able to acquire more than the usual number of units - because of the current correction - we agreed it would be more than ok to ask highly qualified and experienced investors if they wanted in. Even then, our entire pool of investors, nationwide, will probably be less than 4-500. That relatively small group of investors will benefit from spectacular real estate investment opportunities. And most of them won’t get in fast enough every year.

    So far, no project has lasted even six weeks. A couple of them were sold in less than two weeks. Everything I said in the post was absolutely transparently true.

    I’ll assume you’re not interested, or are too skeptical to explore this offer - and that’s fine.

    As for the adviser vs salesman issue, here’s my take.

    I haven’t had to ’sell’ anything for the last two decades. I give advice, and folks take it or they don’t. This opportunity doesn’t need to be sold to anyone, because, as I wrote, the projects themselves are of limited supply, and will, by definition, be such superior deals they’ll not be around long enough to matter.

    Early on Hans, I discovered creation of wealth doesn’t have to be sold. It just has to be presented.

    Hans, you’ll never have to be wary of me trying to sell you anything. If you think the chance to be on the inside of a circle of very experienced and successful real estate investment brokers is ‘being sold’, I can accept that.

    Most folks, going by the response so far, appear to disagree with you.

    Thanks for taking the time to pass on your thoughts. Keep coming back - and thanks.
