Scam Report and AI Support


Scam Report – A good place look before you leap!

As of 2024 it appears the Scams are increasing not decreasing.  If all governments take us to a Cashless Society it could get worse before it gets better.  I have always said, “You will know when the internet is safe we all use it to vote for our next president.”  No business, especially the banks, want to admit how much they are getting scammed.

Here are a couple of other places you should be doing your fact checking to insure you are not getting scammed.  While you are at it I highly recommend you use AI as much as you can, now and into the future, before paying any consultants for anything.  You will probably get much better answers and get scammed less. Not that all consultants are all bad, but you have to start asking questions someplace and AI for free is about as good as it gets for now.

2:00pm – 4:00pm – Lloyd Segal

We are proud to have Lloyd Segal as our speaker on January 22, 2022 !!!

We have had Lloyd at some of our meetings in the past and he is always informative and very funny!  Don’t miss his January 22 presentation at SB-REIA. Plus…

Everyone dreams of flipping houses, but very few ever do it. Why is that? Rehabs are fun and challenging, and the profits are enormous. Plus, compared to other investments, you receive your profits in months (not years). So why don’t more people do it? The answer is simple; people do not know how to get started. They don’t know what to do, where to turn, or who to trust. Well, stay tuned, because best-selling author and investor, Lloyd Segal, has the solution. Lloyd has made “fix & flip” investing as simple as possible. He has broken down the process into four easy to understand steps: (1) find, (2) finance, (3) fix, and (4) flip houses.

Lloyd is a best-selling author of four books, including “Stop Foreclosure Now in California” (published by Nolo Press, Berkeley, CA), Stop Foreclosure Now” (published by the American Management Association, New York, NY).  Last year, “Stop Foreclosure Now” was selected the “Best Personal Finance Book of the Year” by USA Today Book News, based on its strategies to help homeowners avoid losing their homes in foreclosure.  Lloyd also wrote “Foreclosure Investing” (published by Regency Book, New York, NY) to educate real estate investors, and his newest book is entitled “Flipping Houses,” which describes how to get started finding, financing, fixing, and flipping houses.

At Lloyd’s presentation, you will learn:

1. How to find houses to fix and flip.
2. How to determine “After-Repaired Value.”
3. How to structure the deals (and create a win/win situation).
4. How to finance your purchase.
5. How to select general contractors and sub-contractors.
6. How to budget for repairs and renovations.
7. How to rehab a house for fun and profit.
8. How to select a Realtor to sell your house.
9. How to get started NOW!!!

COMPLIMENTARY BOOKS: As an extra-added bonus, the first 25 people to attend will receive a complimentary copy of Lloyd’s new book, “Flipping Houses.” So don’t be late!

FREE ADMISSION: Admission to this monthly meeting is complimentary (free!), but reservations are recommended.
DATE & TIME: Saturday afternoon, January 22, 2022, 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
LOCATION: Courtyard by Marriott, 401 Stoke Road, Goleta, CA

RSVP: Meetup.com/SantaBarbaraREIA 

Lloyd Segal

 

Interview on YouTube and Email Promo

Trained as an attorney, Lloyd Segal is a best-selling author, real estate investor, landlord, mentor, and public speaker.  Now located in Los Angeles, California, Lloyd was born and raised in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.  He graduated Boston University, Boston University Law School, and Southwestern University School of Law School (where he was the President of the Student Bar Association), and studied International Law at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.

Lloyd is an informative public speaker with over 25 years of professional real estate experience as an investor, mentor, mortgage banker, and real estate attorney.  He has been interviewed and/or quoted on National Public Radio, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fox Business News, Los Angeles Times, Parade Magazine, Smart Money, Publisher’s Weekly, and numerous other radio, TV, and newspapers around the country.  He is also a frequent guest speaker at various universities, boards of realtors, Coldwell Banker national conventions, and other real estate and service organizations throughout the United States.

In his spare time, Lloyd is an avid polo player (horse polo, not water polo).  Lloyd is a member of the United States Polo Association (“USPA”) and the former President of the Will Rogers Polo Club in Pacific Palisades, California (for nine years!).

Lloyd is not afraid to put his life on the line.  In 2005, Lloyd traveled to New Orleans and volunteered in the recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city and killed 1,833 residents.  In 2010, Lloyd did it again!  He traveled to Port-a-Prince after the earthquake devastated Haiti, aiding in the recovery efforts that destroyed the city and killed over 160,000 people.  Lloyd would have done it again in 2014 after a typhoon and tsunami destroyed Phuket, Thailand, but was stopped at the border because he didn’t have sufficient vaccinations.  And of course, Lloyd will volunteer again when the next natural disaster inevitably strikes somewhere in our world.

In 2016, Lloyd assumed leadership of LAREIC from the late Phyllis Rockower.  Since then, Lloyd has been busy expanding the Club’s events and programs for Club members, Gold Members, and real estate investors.

It’s great to attend one of our SB REIA meetings especially if you are local.  But when you have the opportunity, you should also attend the Los Angeles Real Estate Investors Club’s (LAREIC.com) at their monthly meetings (where Lloyd is President).  LAREIC regularly has 200-300 attendees, 40+ vendors at their events.  You should also checkout the somewhat smaller Ventura County Real Estate Investors Association (which Lloyd and LAREIC also operate) which also has a good amount of speakers and vendors as well.  That will make a big difference in what you can learn, who you can network with, and the opportunities you have to create results in your life.

These wholesale deals go quickly.  If this is not the property or location or price that works for you then you need to get on our;
Cash Buyers List so we can get you exactly what you are looking for.  We can get you Private Money, Hard Money, or any type of loan you want and need to Fix and Flip properties. Working directly with me, Dan Ringwald, will provide you with options to purchase and sell without doing any repairs, or doing just enough to sell to a conventional home buyer for a higher price, or getting the financing to do a full rehab to sell for top dollar. I can also get you on the MLS when it’s time to sell without paying any agent/broker listing or buying fees.  On a $1m home that’s a $60k savings.  There are many services and options I can provide you with my 40 plus years of real estate investing experience.
