Enlarge Your Vision!

A website visitor recently asked on the popular MrLandlord.com Q & A forum, “Is landlording and real estate investing a slow way to wealth?  The average landlord has less than 20 rentals.  By the time your properties are paid off, you are old with many health problems.  How many real millionaires under 60 do you know that made it self-made by being a landlord?”

My response is that it does NOT have to be a slow process, if you treat it as a business, get and stay educated, and take action. I know hundreds of landlords under 60 who are real millionaires. In fact, I will be reuniting with several dozen of them in two weeks on the annual Mr. Landlord Getaway Cruise Conference.

Your right, landlording is small-scale for most landlords. However, please DON’T let that limit your vision of what’s possible for you. The truth of the matter, whatever business you pick, limited success is the case for the majority of people. But again, don’t let that limit your vision, especially during these times. Right now there are probably more landlords becoming new millionaires than in any other time.

I challenge you in 2012 to enlarge your vision and most importantly start hanging around people who ARE becoming millionaires. There are actually many millionaire landlords. You will not hear them boasting about it, but trust me they are here.

Over the years, the landlords who I have watched become self-made millionaires, take action, get educated, buy real estate courses, attend workshops, conference and bootcamps. While I know, many people are cynical of courses and bootcamps (and for good reason), that cynicism also has stopped many landlords from reaching higher goals.

Instead of taking action and calculated risks by attending trainings, they scoff at the idea of spending even a few hundred bucks or dare I say a thousand to educate themselves. Mind you, they want to become millionaires, yet the majority of people, think this can happen by reading a couple of $20 books and gathering all the free information they can on the internet. It’s no wonder it’s a slow go for most.

YES there are thousands of landlords becoming self-made millionaires. And with the right mentors, actions, training, associates/associations and, knowledge, it does NOT have to take you until you are 60 to reach financial freedom.

That’s why I’m hoping that many of you will consider joining me this year for the MrLandlord.com National Convention in St. Louis. Especially for those of you who want to enlarge your vision and treat landlording and real estate as a business.  This year’s convention will be held on May 24, 25, 26, 2012.

Convention Reviews

“When I came to the Convention, I hadn’t bought any new rental properties for many years. And after hearing Jeffrey speak at his Mr Landlord convention, I came away so inspired and motivated that I’m ‘doubling down’ and now buying a triplex. The deal closes at the end of THIS month. Thank you Jeffrey for your passion and energy for landlording. It is truly infectious!”

–Drew [CA]

“Woo-hoo! Wasn’t that FAN-TAS-TIC!?!

I loved meeting the Q&A posters whose advice I cherish. I loved getting ideas from folks in the hall. I loved Jeffrey’s fresh ideas to increase my resident retention. I loved Lou Brown’s system for selling houses to people who can’t get a loan – bought the course!! & already started my first deal this morning. I loved Roy’s talk. He is the real deal & gave us some truly golden nuggets. Love that Alabama drawl!”

–Brad 20,000 [IN]

“The convention this year was great. All the speakers addressed topics pertinent to today’s real estate environment. Heard lots of suggestion and hope to implement some new procedures to improve cash flow. The attendance appeared very high. Not sure if that’s because St Louis allows so many to drive here or if more and more investors are understanding that NOW is the time to be buying and making money in real estate. Hope St Louis is a repeat for the 2012 convention.

Met with lots of old friends from various parts of the country. It’s so nice to be able to place a face with a handle on the Q&A for those who do post here. My favorite aspect of the convention is the people interaction. Interactions include round tables to allow everyone to discuss what’s on their mind, dinners with others, golfing, or just sitting in the bar. You just can’t get the face time on the computer or phone or even video.

Convention was great – thanks Jeffery and Dot for hosting a wonderful 3+ day event.”

–Mike [MO]

“Just made it home… our first MR LL convention. WAY too much information to process!!! We made pages and pages of notes on how to improve. Already put some of the ideas into action!! Was great to see old friends again: Katherine, Blue, Freddie, Mike(MO), David, and I’m sure a few others.

Super great to meet “old friends” from the newsgroup for the first time: Jeffrey and Dot, Toya, Ernie, Brad, Laura, Virden, Roy, Barbara, Bryan, Brett, and many, many others. Actually found a new friend, 800 miles from home, that lives 30 minutes away! Well worth the money and trouble. We will be doing it again. Thanks for pulling it all together Jeffrey!”

–Gevans [SC]

“Agree, it was an awesome convention. Speakers were packed with lots of info. Enjoyed meeting other landlords from around the U.S. Passing out business cards and making contacts. Thanks again Jeffery and Dot a first class convention.”

–Dave [MO]

“This was our second convention (we went to JAX last year) and it’s the highlight of our year, honestly. To meet people who don’t look at you as if you are crazy when you talk tenants and carpets vs. laminate and lead paint and HVAC and finding time for YOU and … well the list goes on. The depth of knowledge is amazing…

Jeffrey was a highlight every time he spoke. Brad was great as well, very fun talk…I have a notebook full of notes and a long list of things to implement. Last year, just two suggestions from the convention saved me thousands.”

–Wendy [NC]

“I did have the pleasure of making my very first convention in St Louis and it was FANTASTIC! It was a great learning experience and will sign up again if the good Lord’s willing! Hats off to you and your beautiful wife Dot and your staff for all of your hard work and efforts into the convention. Great Job!”

You Will Learn From A Wealth Of Topics And Experiences!

“Enlarge Your Vision!” Our convention is for landlords and real estate investors who want to learn more from others so as to discover and take advantage of effective management and investing procedures that are being implemented by other successful rental owners and investors in the middle of economic challenges. It’s not about how many properties you own or manage; what’s important is to maximize the cash flow and the profits with whatever number of properties you control.  This Convention is the only major real estate conference specifically put together for do-it-yourself, real-life, landlords to learn from top real estate instructors and from each other.

In addition to having well known real estate instructors sharing, as with our previous successful conventions, we will again invite and feature a few select top landlord contributors to our Q & A forum who will also give workshops from their day-to-day real world experiences on topics they can offer valuable “school-of-hard knocks” advice.

Informative presentations will be given by a one or more of our website sponsors who offer valuable services for rental owners, including a straightfoward talk on what landlords need to know about locks, security, insurance and how to get all the financing you need in this economy. If you own rental property or thinking about it, this convention is an event you do not want to miss! Learn how to make both minor and big changes in your rental investments that can generate tens of thousands of additional profits. Mark the dates on your calendar now!

3 Days, Each Day – Seminars and Workshops!

The first day begins at 9am and concludes at 6pm. The next two days start early at 8:00 am and goes all day. Saturday concludes at 4pm. Evening round tables discussions will also allow for bonus brainstorming sessions. From the first day with an opening training session with Jeffrey Taylor to the last day, this Convention will be an experience you don’t want to miss.

INFORMAL ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
There will also be informal roundtable discussions to give even more opportunity for landlords to learn insights. This will be a totally unique opportunity to meet many of the landlords nationwide including some of those who share daily on our Q&A Forum. That is just one BIG reason that makes this convention different than just any other conference.

Great lasting friendships have been developed by many of us who have met at prior conferences and cruises. I’d encourage you to join us. What other opportunity would allow you to meet the faces behind the names/postings of so many who offer so much advice on a daily basis. As you can see, we are looking forward to an awesome time and a reunion of many friends (old and new). We hope you make plans now to join us for our 9th Annual National Convention, including the seminars and networking with landlords nationwide exchanging landlording secrets and success strategies.

STRAIGHT TALK – Q&A DISCUSSION.
We have asked several experienced landlords and managers who’ve had success with all types of rental properties to participate in a round table discussion, to share of their absolute best cash flow strategies and of their most costly mistakes and not hold back any punches. This will be one of the most insightful sessions of the entire convention.
