Realty411 donor makes first pledge to the Los Angeles Mission.

By Morgan Schaal 

Solvang, Calif. – Real estate expo producer Linda Pliagas of Realty411 announced today that their fundraising drive has started for the Los Angeles Mission with a first pledge of $1,000 from Gary O’Neil of the Housing Assistance Foundation, in cooperation with Realty Consultants of America.

Realty411 is hosting their “Give Thanks, Give Back” Real Estate Expo in Los Angeles to benefit the Los Angeles Mission on November 15 at the Olympic Collection Banquet and Conference Center, located on 11301 W. Olympic Blvd, in West Los Angeles. 

The event is free to attend, and includes a full day of networking and education. 

A representative of the Los Angeles Mission will be attending the expo to accept donations of shoes, all types of clothing and canned food to benefit the homeless community. Monetary donations can be made at the Expo, please make all checks payable directly to the Los Angeles Mission.

Advance public pledges may also be made by contacting Realty411. 

As Pliagas explains, “Our real estate expos help people from all walks of life learn about investing in the American Dream... home ownership. It’s equally important that we also support the community in the largest way possible. The Los Angeles Mission really needs your support, and we thank you in advance for that!”

When Gary O'Neil, an advertising client and fan, was asked why he decided to pledge a donation for the Los Angeles Mission, his response was: "I've been familiar with Realty411 for many years and have heard nothing but praises from my colleagues about the magazine and organization."

O'Neil admits to benefiting tremendously from the networking events that Realty411 produces and he has traveled around the country to personally attend them this year. He explains: "Many of the relationships I've made through my association with Realty411 will be those of 'Buddies for Life.' 

Everyone shares and contributes to the successes of one another. You'll see me or a representative of my company at every event in the future, guaranteed!"

Realty411 is asking real estate enthusiasts to help match or exceed their first donor's pledge and help spread the word about their fundraising Real Estate Expo: Give Thanks, Give Back ( #GiveThanksGiveBack ).

Pliagas says, “We’re really hoping to make a valuable difference by helping the Los Angeles Mission at this event, but we need assistance to make this possible. I'm personally requesting everyone who has ever benefited from our free magazines or expos to join us for a Special Day as we honor and help one of the most important charities in Southern California, the Los Angeles Mission.”

Further details will be released to the public as the Expo planning process continues.

Our New Issue Is Here!!

Realty411 - A FREE Real Estate Investing Magazine by Investors!!! from founder of Realty411 Magazine

It's HARD to Make a Living. But it's EASY to Build Wealth.

In Los Angeles the commute is unbearable. In fact, INRIX®, a leading international provider of traffic information, reports that the City of Angels is in second place for the worst congested city in the nation.

Many Angelenos drive three hours per day just to be able to work. I thought that was bad until I discovered people who commute into the city every week and only see their families on weekends.

The sacrifices made by individuals just to make a basic living (food, clothing, shelter) for themselves and their loved ones is mind boggling. I know what it's like to drive hours every day to punch a clock, it's tough!

Even if you love your profession, commuting for hours, putting up with office politics and trying to please demanding bosses, can be overwhelming and very stressful.

Plus, with an economy like this, wages and salaries are just not very generous. Companies seem to be using the "bad economy" as an excuse for poor pay, lack of benefits and company perks. It seems everyone is complaining about the limiting amount of career opportunities that are available.

When I was in college, I was not taught about finances at all, in fact nobody ever discussed salaries. When I discovered how much journalists make, I was shocked (and greatly disappointed). Let's just say it's a career that you definitely have to be passionate about it because the pay is modest.

Having loved media since I was a child, I decided to enter the trade and watch my pennies so that I could invest as much money as possible in something that I knew was a sure thing: real estate.

You see, because I educated myself on the mechanics of money, I knew that most millionaires made their money in real estate. I understood vital concepts about the time/value of money and how location and appreciation could easily skyrocket a person's net worth.

But the hardest part I thought was getting started.  So my husband and I worked hard to accumulate the funds needed to invest. They were busy years and we were handsomely and surprisingly rewarded when we managed to buy a home with no money down in one of the most high-priced areas of the nation. How? We found a seller willing to carry a portion of the note and used private money to get into the deal.

Since we didn't need any of our own money to buy our home, we used our nest egg to purchase a small apartment building. It was then when everything began to change.

With a few short years, our net worth skyrocketed. Things were appreciating steadily back in 1994 and the equity in the properties were rising much faster than our ability to earn a paycheck by working in our professions.

This is the beauty of real estate. A property can appreciate either due to market conditions or by adding value through a rehab. Profits can come quickly, much faster than a person's ability to "earn" a living.

The average national salary in America is $41,673.83, according to U.S. Social Security administration.  Having a job can provide for the basics just fine, but what quality of life can that type of salary provide?

In the real estate world, $40,000 is not an astronomical number. One can do a deal and make that much per transaction either by buying and holding for cash flow or buying and flipping for profit. I even personally know someone who made $30,000 on one wholesale deal, and she did not even own title to the property!

Most of the deals my family and I have done over the years have grossed us over $100,000 per transaction -- we are lucky to live and be able to do deals in California where the spreads can be great.

One of my favorite deals was when my husband and I purchased a small multifamily property in Hawthorne, Calif., a blue-collar area of Los Angeles.

The market was really hot in late 2004, and it was tough getting the deal because there were five other offers, but I wrote a personal letter to the seller assuring him that I would make the best landlord to take over his building and he sold it to us, even though another offer came in higher.

Upon purchasing the property, we did slight renovations, one unit at a time. Nothing major, just new carpet, new paint and I think we changed the cabinets in the kitchen of one unit. The hardest part was managing the property because some of the tenants had an attitude because I raised all the rents to market.

About one year and half into the deal, we decided to cash out. We purchased it for $425,000 and in 18 months sold it for $659,000. A gross profit of $234,000!  How many people can make that amount of money punching a clock for 18 months?

And what do they have to go through to "earn" that money? Get up at the crack of dawn, commute to work, put up with bad tempers and attitudes, constant deadlines and job stress.

On the other hand, we created wealth by simply buying, managing, repairing and selling an asset. Can it get any easier than that?

This is exactly why I get so excited about sharing the benefits of real estate with people because wealth can be created much faster and easier than by "working" at a given profession. 

Even in the work force, I noticed that those who invest in real estate do much better financially than those who only go to work and do the best they can to save for the future.

After being in the work force for 20 plus years now I've come to realize that more wealth can be created by focusing time and energy into finding and buying properties than by climbing the corporate ladder. Buying one property a year or every few years can really make a difference in your life and in the legacy you leave behind.

The time has never been better to get started or to expand your portfolio. Never have we had a combination of so many distressed properties to choose from coupled with the low interest rates of long-term financing.

The moves you make now can determine your family's future.  So don't make excuses about how busy you are in your profession. Be sure to take time off from "work" to concentrate on building "wealth".

Dave Says It's Decision Time...

JOIN US AT THIS EVENT TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS AND LIFE TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

RSVP NOW FOR A DEEP DISCOUNT ON TICKETS -- SEE YOU THERE!

Dear Investor;



It’s decision time.

You now have the chance to shape your future, to decide which path to pursue – that of mediocrity or that of stunning excellence.

It’s time to vote. And I strongly recommend that you vote - -

For yourself.

Because whichever politician gets in this new election cycle, they’re as focused as the next one on taking a chunk of your pay in taxes. Most of them don’t have a clue about business and they’re all set on convincing you of how important they are to you and your life.

The truth is, our goal as successful Real Estate and Business Entrepreneurs is to make politicians irrelevant to our lives.

I think elections are fascinating but I’m under no illusion that the ‘right’ choice will make a huge difference to my future or yours. Their decisions will certainly influence your future – and your family’s future but only within about 10-20% of where you were going anyway.

By the time of the next election, the quality of your life will have been determined by you – not them. If you’re earning five times what you’re earning now, It will be because you took control. It will be because you decided to run a business where YOU choose how many deals you do and how many customers you have – and how much to earn.

There is a new breed of business owner being created in this country. They’re wealthy, powerful and free. But it has nothing to do with where they were born, their education or whether they grew up rich or poor. It has to do purely with their minds and their thinking. They have an obsession with absorbing new information and they have an obsession with creating an environment where they choose how much income they earn. And they do that primarily by networking and partnering with other investors and business owners, by mastering leading edge Marketing, Internet Marketing and Business Systems.

So it’s decision day. Are you going to carry on as you are or are you going to come to the Business Explosion And Ultimate Partnering Summit and make this the year that you create real change by joining me for three days, immersed in the leading edge of Entrepreneurial excellence.

Put your cross in the box for the Business Explosion And Ultimate Partnering Summit today. Whoever your favourite politician is, they’ll thank you for it because you’ll become so successful, you’ll be paying them oodles more in taxes over the next few years.

Everything you need to know about the Summit is here:
