Your new years resolution solution



Christmas is over and the new year approaches us. What will be your new years resolutions? I always write mine down look at it everyday to remind myself what I want to get accomplished.

Resolutions can just be dreams or realty. It's all up to you. You run your own mind most of the time and you make your most important decisions. I believe that your decisions are based on people you surround yourself with.

Example I know a lot of people who make their own decisions make sure their friends and relatives are OK with that decision. I always want to make sure that the people who I like to help me make decisions pass a few test.
  1. They must be a professional in the area I need consulting on. Example You wouldn't go to a doctor to get an opinion on how to predict the weather.
  2. I always like to make sure that their intentions are good. Example they may make someone look bad in order to get the job themselves.
  3. Always want them to be doing better than me financially. Why would I listen to someone that is not doing good as me?
  4. Lastly they must be trust worthy period!
People can sway you in a total different direction and sometimes that's OK. Just make sure all that all the are passed. These decisions can make or break your financial success. Everyone can tell you how not to do things. I always kick them out right away.

The professionals I listen to always have a way to get things done. They always know how to do things and are eager to share their ways with you. They are interested in being as well off as they are!

This year make your resolutions but be careful who you listen too.

Are we really going for broke?



I look back at some bad times in America like the depression. Even though I was not even thought about yet, I still watch the films and see how bad it was then.

We can go back to the early a the 70's and early 80's and see some times were inflation was rapid. That is when I got in the game. I decided to see if history did indeed repeat itself. Looking and finding good deals was not a problem. I was getting 2-3 bedroom condos for $15,000-$35,000. They rented out for $600-$700 a month. My company made a handsome profit during those times.

Putting a property up for rent was easy and fast. We had lines at the doors sometimes because people had to get a place. This allowed us to make great money during that time.

Today is very similar to those days except for the inflation. We are buying properties for the same prices $15k-35K and renting them for $700-$1100 per month. We make a great cash flow and have some great properties in very quality neighborhoods.

I eventually sold those condos i bought in the 70's and 80's for a very handsome profit. I not only made a great cash flow but ended up with a great profit selling the property. That all happened in a 6-8 year period. I was glad that history repeated itself.

This market is going on it's 5th year and I see some great changes coming down the pike. Me and my clients have positioned ourselves to make a great profit in cash flow now and a huge profit if and when we sell the properties. Some clients may like the cash flow so much they will just keep that rolling in.

I always like to sell and pocket the profit when the market turns. Good market make excellent flip markets, that is what I will be doing.

So if your wondering about the future look back and you'll get your answers. Sure there are different things happening know but a lot of it is the same. So quit your crying about the economy and get involved in the opportunities that can make great cash flow now and massive profit in the future! Brett A Young Valley Realty www.Rooftopprofitmax.com

Keep on Advertising


I watch and listen to a lot of business people, and they all have a very common theme. December is a waste of time no one is buying. Wow that is so far from the truth.

December is a great time to advertise not only in retail but any business. The competition is very low. Most people don't try or they take the month off. That 's fine as long as your sales are good for the year. But remember less services advertising means higher visibility for your business or service.

You still need to advertise and market because January is right around the corner. I've had clients that haven't bought in a year come back and buy because of my ads. Your clients and potential clients need to see you on a consistent basis. You don't want to be behind when the new year rolls around.

Example I took a client out yesterday from Chicago that had looked and followed my content. He said that it explained all the services I offered (which saved me a lot of time). When we took him out to look at properties he was already informed and knew what he wanted. We are getting him two properties.

There are many ways to market. Blogs, ads, bookmarking, videos, audio are but a few and the cost is very low. I had 5,000 hits this last month and 20+ opt in's that want to do business.

Have a fun and happy holiday's but remember that you need a few hours everyday to tend to marketing. You may have run ads for a long time with nothing but if your consistent you will get results.

One last example when I first got in the biz I sent out 100 postcards a week. The quality of the cards were very average. I had sent them out for weeks on end without any responses, then I got a call. A gentlemen wanted me to list his land and sell it, which I did. After that he wanted 3 more investment properties which again I found them. I made $30,000+ in commissions and fees from those transactions. I also bought a home from him to live in and later sold it for $100,000 profit. That's $130,000 on one postcard that I consistently sent out.

When your ready to give up on your marketing remember you may be one postcard or hit away from making very good money! I have many other examples that have happened and know that any good business or service must be marketed to have clients and sales! Brett A Young WWW.Rooftopprofitmax.com
