The Happy Landlord and No Money Down Real Estate in Perspective are both now Completely Free, No Strings Attached

For the first time, the Happy Landlord is offering a downloadable, all-electronic version of its real estate investment and property management system for absolutely no cost. This is the same system that has sold thousands of copies by word of mouth advertising on the merits of its reputation alone. This system sold for over one hundred dollars, but now I am offering you my system with two books, the complete forms collections and over two and a half hours of audio content, for no charge.

I have made my money in real estate, and now I am giving back. The Happy Landlord is a practical counterpoint to those systems sold on late night TV. It even includes an entire book and CD (audio files) called The Myths and Realities of No Money Down Real Estate that critiques the infomercial systems and tells you the hidden downsides of many of their methods. Included in this bonus book and CD are the secrets to cash back at closing deals, owner financing strategies, option deals, foreclosure sales, tax lien sales, etc. The system has been updated to give you my opinion on flipping strategies, and why I think flipping is a bad move for most beginners.

Here's what I am giving you:

The system includes two books and over two and a half hours of audio content. It also includes all the forms necessary to manage rental property including a landlord-friendly lease, rental applications, lead paint disclosure documentation, sample late letters, etc. The main portion of the system is simply called The Happy Landlord. It focuses on buying the right rental properties and managing them profitably. It includes chapters on attracting great tenants, dealing with problem tenants, a detailed explanation of the lease, the legal environment of landlording, and much more.

The second part of the system focuses on no money down real estate. It is different, however, from other systems in that it gives you a realistic picture of these opportunities. It describes not only the upside of no money down financing, but also the problems with many of the methods that make them difficult to execute or unusually risky.

I offer a realistic and comprehensive alternative to the infomercial systems. Use this system because it is better than other systems, not just because it will cost you nothing. Take a look at everything the system includes:

Comprehensive, Landlord-Friendly Lease:

Beginning investors need to expect to be able to manage the properties themselves in order to make money. This is easy to do, but only with a great lease that covers all the bases. The Happy Landlord gives you that lease and dedicates an entire chapter to explaining that lease... line by line by line. Do not be misled by the infomercial experts that suggest you hire a professional management company to handle your properties. It is almost impossible for low or no down payment real estate deals to have break-even monthly cash flows after paying the mortgage payment and a professional manager. You need the tools to manage the property yourself... without destroying your lifestyle. Our system gives you these tools.

Lead Paint Disclosure Documents:

Part of being a landlord means playing by the rules. The rules are not difficult, but they are important. Federal law requires that landlords adhere to certain lead paint disclosure guidelines. These guidelines are explained, and the appropriate documentation is included in the system.

Rental Applications:

Perhaps the most important part of successful landlording is choosing the right tenants. We provide the rental applications you will need to facilitate this process, and explain what to do with them once your prospective tenants complete them.

Sample Late Letters:

Occasionally, tenants will bend the rules, and problems will occur. Be certain that you have the tools to deal with these problems. We supply not only sample late letters, but also sample letters to accompany every step in the eviction process. We detail exactly what you need to do to protect your rights when tenants fail to live up to their obligations.

Legal Environment of Landlording:

We include general discussions on all of your rights and obligations related to fair housing laws, lead paint laws, landlord tenant law, etc. We also provide electronic links to legal resources in every state.

Taxation Basics:

Don't be intimidated by this topic. Most of the tax consequences of owning real estate are to the investor's advantage. We explain these advantages and tell you how to maximize their potential impact on your bottom line.

Separate Bonus Book and Audio CD... The Myths and Realities of No Money Down Real Estate Explained:

This book is intended as a supplement to the core real estate investment system. While that part of the system explains my own ideas about the best way to go about financing your first rental properties, many of the people buying my course are still curious about the nature of no-money-down deals. There is certainly an appeal to taking a peek behind the curtain and seeing the infomercial promises explained, and perhaps, de-mystified.

This book and Audio CD will give you a concise introduction to some of the most common approaches to no-cash financing of real estate. It also includes a chapter on foreclosures, tax lien properties, and option strategies as they relate to real estate. Beyond just explaining how these deals work, I will explain what makes them difficult to execute or unusually risky. Where I can, I will provide you with strategies for minimizing losses. I will always leave you with the general caution that leveraged real estate transactions carry with them many hidden risks.

Understanding these risks is at least as important as understanding the strategies themselves.
So what are these risks? There is the risk of losing money even if you did not put any actual cash into the investment. There is the risk of time and effort which goes into maintaining a property that, once purchased, is impossible to sell to anyone else. There is a risk to your good credit that could follow you for years after you finally walk away from a real estate transaction gone badly. Most importantly, there is the risk of focusing your energy on a get rich quick approach to real estate that would be more productively channeled into a more traditional, more disciplined real estate investment approach.

Much, Much More:

We have reviewed competitive real estate courses, and we believe that we have the most complete system available. In addition to everything that is mentioned above, we include criteria for selecting properties, the absolutely lowest hassle system for renting out your properties, frequently-asked questions documents for tenants, a complete glossary of real estate terms... the list goes on and on.

“I had already made the mistake of buying and reading a popular infomercial system. It left me confused and frustrated. Your books are geared for people like me that are interested in buying rental properties, but don’t know how to get started. You give me everything I need to not only make money doing this, but to do it without turning my life upside down. Thanks much!”

Joe Keebler, Parole Officer

“My husband and I have been interested in buying rental properties for years, but we had been turned-off by the ads that we saw for your competitors that seemed way to good to be true. We ordered your system because we liked your down to earth approach. We are very, very happy with the materials. Thanks again!”
