How To Create Wealth In A Down Economy
Posted by: | CommentsAs I’ve been mentioning over the past couple of weeks, the new “7 Secrets to Real Estate Riches” home-study course is now finally available!
Here are just some of the insider secrets you’ll soon be discovering:
=> Wholesaling Step-by-Step: Your ticket to building a 6-figure real estate investing business – even if you have no job, little to no cash, and crappy credit!
=> Rehab Riches: How to fix & flip for mega profits
=> How to develop the mindset of a millionaire real estate investor
=> How to create a positive cash flow of $300-$500 on every single home you buy – even with no credit and little to no money down!
=> Understanding Property Cycles and what you should be doing in the current real estate climate. Have we hit rock bottom? Or are we still falling? The answer? It doesn’t matter. You’ll find out why, and how to make money in real estate – regardless of what’s happening in the market!
=> Marketing Mastery: How millionaire real estate investors generate leads and find bargain properties. You’ll be given specific marketing tips, techniques, and strategies to start generating more motivated seller leads in one month … than most investors get in a whole year! Of all the things you can learn,
I believe this is THE most important skill of them all. MARKETING is truly where the rubber meets the road, and in my opinion, is at least 80% responsible for the success (or failure) of any business. So for the first time ever, I’m pulling back the curtain, and revealing the insider secrets for turning your real estate investing business into a full-blown, cash-spewing machine!
=> How we’re buying homes (and even duplexes, triplexes, and 4-plexes) at 50% or less of fair market value – and how you can do the same!
=> Get access to dozens of ‘INSIDER”, ‘HIDDEN MARKET” deals – BEFORE they hit any public list or MLS.
=> Discover why the next 3-5 years will be the best buying opportunity of our lifetimes, and how mega-fortunes will be made by savvy investors “in the know”.
=> How to be a passive “armchair” investor and still get whopping DOUBLE-DIGIT returns on your money – with very little risk. We’ll even show you how to get INFINITE RETURNS, which means getting a positive cash flow – with none of your own money invested!
=> Discover amazing cash flow opportunities both locally and in other states.
=> How to master the art of raising all the dollars you need for all your deals
=> Commercial Real Estate Riches: You’ll be given a simple road map for stepping into the big leagues, massively multiplying your cash flow, and turning your real estate holdings into a true, hands-off, “auto-pilot” business. And to show you how do-able this really is, I had a good friend come in and share his story. How did he do it? He played real-life Monopoly by trading in his houses, and now plays in $40.0+ million commercial buildings! His story will absolutely blow you away.
=> And much, much more!
To get all the juicy details and obtain your copy today, just click on over to:
Anyway, that’s it for now. This special offer is only good for a limited time, so go get your copy now and take a giant leap towards making 2010 your absolute best financial year ever!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Posted by: | CommentsHope you had a wonderful Christmas filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories . . . and now have plans for a fun and festive New Year celebration!
Just wanted to share a few things with you . . .
- Here’s a fun, holiday dancing message from a few members of the staff. (Please allow a couple of minutes to load, depending on your connection.)
http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/NGxNdXl818kXYEMQ
From left to right are: Veronica Ortiz (Office Assistant); Gayle Tanner (Office Supervisor); Megan Williams (Realtor/Investment Specialist); Myself; and Chris Richtsmeier (Senior Acquisitions Specialist). Enjoy!
- Announcing . . . the new and improved “7 Secrets To Real Estate Riches” home-study course is finally ready! Be on the lookout for an amazing deal coming your way either the first or second week of January, and get ready to make 2010 your absolute BEST YEAR EVER!
- Just recently, we picked up a 4 bedroom, 2 bath family home in a great neighborhood for $93,400 – at the courthouse steps! After-repair value is $150-160,000, and it needs only $1,500 in repairs to make rent-ready!
January/February are shaping into great buying months. Based on feedback we’re getting from large investors, asset managers and bank executives, more inventory is being released and the pace of foreclosures will quicken after the holidays, so we fully expect auction buys to get even better!
Anyway, one of our exclusive clients obtained this property as part of our Foreclosure Auction Program. If you’re interested in acquiring these types of deals as well, please email staff@teamguting.com with the subject line “auction video”, and we’ll send you access to an online video that describes the whole program. But hurry though . . . only a couple of spots remain available.
I’ll be in touch again soon! In the meantime, HAPPY HOLIDAYS from the whole staff at TGG!!!
Sincerely,
Bill Guting

DON’T LET YOUR WEALTH GET DECIMATED!
Posted by: | CommentsWhat a crazy time we’re going through! Banks are failing . . . storied Wall Street titans that survived the Great Depression have folded like a tent . . . unemployment is at double-digits and expected to continue creeping up . . . and city, county, and state governments are drowning in red ink. And on the federal level, the U.S. government is buried under TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS of debt , but continues to spend like a drunken sailor and throwing tens of billions of taxpayer money towards bailouts.
And right here on Main Street USA … wealth has been decimated faster than at any other time in history!
No doubt about it. The financial crisis we’re going through is unprecedented, and it’s easy to get caught up in the fear and paranoia. It’s simply human nature and the natural thing to do.
But during tumultuous and uncertain times like this, I like to remind myself that “Amidst the chaos, lies great opportunity”. And keep this little tidbit in mind: More fortunes were made during THE GREAT DEPRESSION than at any other time in history.
Well my friend, the chaos we’re going through right now is shaping up to be an even greater opportunity than the 1930’s Depression – as long as you have the right mindset, network, strategies, and ability to take action.
That’s why I’m writing. To let you know about a little-known investing strategy that will allow you to not only survive, but literally thrive during today’s current financial crisis.
I’m talking about you becoming a Private Mortgage Lender where you have the opportunity to start earning amazing double-digit returns on your money – in a safe, secure, and hassle-free way!
Are you sick and tired of earning paltry single-digit returns on your hard-earned money (or even negative returns if you’re in the stock market!)? Are you ready to join the ranks of the wealthy (or at least get on the same track)?
If so, I have a video to send you that will show you exactly how you can take charge of your Savings, CD’s, IRA or Pension Plan . . . and start earning whopping double-digit returns of 10-12% or more – in a safe and secure way. Yes, even in these crazy and turbulent financial times!
Anyway, please send an email to staff@teamguting.com if you’re interested in viewing the video.
Hope you’re enjoying the holidays . . . I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Posted by: | CommentsThis is astounding…You will need PowerPoint to view the slides. Use your speakers to hear background music. How would you like to live in one of these apartments?
Truly the future for skyscraper!
Save the date – 3 events you don't want to miss!
Posted by: | CommentsWe’re rounding the corner and heading down the stretch towards the end of summer already . . . can you believe how time flies? Hope you had an awesome Labor Day Weekend and are now ready for a fun, productive, and prosperous rest of the year!
I’m writing to let you know about 3 must-attend events coming up in October, so you’ll definitely want to pull out your calendar and circle the following dates:
=> Our “Millionaire Real Estate Workshop (MREW)” is back – with all-new, never-before shared information, and a special guest “rock star” investor whose story will absolutely blow you away! This one is scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2009, from 9:00am – 12:30pm.
The workshop will be divided into 2 power-packed segments. Segment 1 is titled . . . “How We Buy Properties At 30-80% Below Fair Market Value – And How You Can Do The Same!”
Here’s a sampling of what we’ll be covering in this segment:
- How millionaire real estate investors find bargain properties on a regular and consistent basis – just like clockwork
- What your most important criteria should be before you ever consider buying. Ignoring (or not understanding) this area can cost you thousands of dollars . . . or even put you out of business!
- The two most CRITICAL numbers that every single investor absolutely must know
- How to gain access to dozens of “INSIDER”, “off-market” deals
- The ultimate, magic formula for guaranteed real estate investing success!
- Much, much more . . . we’re pulling back the curtain and giving you an insider’s glimpse on exactly how we find deeply discounted bargain properties at rock-bottom pricing!
In segment 2, we’re flying in a special guest “superstar investor” who for now I’ll call Mr. X. He’s not a professional speaker, he’s not on the seminar circuit, and I don’t think he’s ever done anything like this before.
He’s simply a guy who got serious about real estate investing and just put his head down, nose to the grindstone, and attacked his goals with laser-like focus and steely-eyed determination. In less than 10 years, he now owns nearly 1,100 units ranging from single-family homes, to apartments, to commercial office buildings!
He’s certainly one of the most aggressive and determined investors I’ve ever met. His story and success tips are not only eye-opening, but will have you believing 100% that anything is truly possible with the right plan, commitment, and focus.
This is THE workshop you don’t want to miss!
Here are the details:
WHAT: The Guting Group’s “Millionaire Real Estate Workshop” with a special guest “rock star” investor
DATE: Saturday, October 3, 2009
TIME: 9:00am – 12:30 PM. We’ll also be available from 1pm-3pm if you’d like to set up a short interview to either discuss your goals or any of the opportunities we have available.
LOCATION: Hampton Inn & Suites, 3021 Advantage Way, Sacramento, CA 95834
COST: Free! This is most likely the last time we’ll be able to offer this workshop for free. Because of the time, money, and effort it takes to put on this event (not to mention the incredible information being delivered), future workshops will most likely be fee-based.
RSVP: Please RSVP with your name and number of guests to reserve your spot. Seating is limited and fill up fast, so please email or call today. Call (916) 393-5400 or Email: staff@TeamGuting.com (Please include your name, phone number, and number of guests along with their names)
=> On Tuesday, October 13, 2009 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm, we’re having a casual, no-host Business Mixer we’re calling “The Wealthy & Wise OktoberFest Business Mixer”. It’s the perfect opportunity to make new friends and contacts, gain some new ideas, get inspired, inspire others, forge partnerships, find resources, promote your business, and simply have a lot of fun!
Mark Victor Hansen said “Your network = your net worth”. Didn’t want to believe this when I was younger, but the older I become, the more this rings true. Loudly!
It’s being held at:
Riverside Clubhouse
2633 Riverside Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95818
RSVP Required: Space is limited so please RSVP with your name and number of guests. The facility can only accommodate 43 guests, so please email or call today. You can call (916) 393-5400 or Email: staff@TeamGuting.com (Please include your name, phone number, and number of guests along with their names).
=> Our first-ever Private Lender Luncheon in the Bay Area is happening on Thursday, October 22, 2009 from 11:00am – 1:00pm. If you or someone you know lives in or around the Bay Area, come and discover how to take charge of your Savings, CD’s, IRA or Pension Plan and start earning whopping double-digit returns of 12% or more – in a safe, secure and hassle-free way. Yes, even in these crazy and turbulent financial times!
What would you do with an extra $50 to $300 per month or more? How would you like to start earning more in 3 months . . . than most people do in a whole year?!?
Becoming a Private Mortgage Lender is your key to making higher profits and building wealth in a hurry!
How lucrative is this type of investing? Listen to this: My good friend Don Burger is one of the most savvy investors I know. He invests in all kinds of real estate (from single family homes to $40+ million dollar commercial office buildings) . . . he trades the stock market (and is making a mint while the stock market continues on its crazy see-saw ride) . . . and he has various other investments and business interests that all seem to do pretty well.
He’s got a lot going on. But guess what he says is his FAVORITE business of them all? Yup, being a Private Mortgage Lender!
Surprising? It shouldn’t be. Just think about it: No tenants, toilets, repairs, or tenant-hassles to deal with, but yet you still earn whopping double-digit returns in a safe, secure, and hassle-free way!
Here are the details:
WHAT: The Guting Group’s “Private Lender Luncheon”
WHEN: Thursday, October 22, 2009 from 11am – 1:00pm
WHERE: San Jose/Silicon Valley area.
RSVP: Reservations are required and seating is limited to only 15 people, so if you’re interested in becoming a Private Mortgage Lender, please call (916) 393-5400 or email Staff@TeamGuting.com to reserve your spot today. (If emailing, please include your name and phone number.)
That’s it for now . . . I’ll be in touch again soon!

Did you catch Jim Wasserman’s article in the Sacramento Bee last week titled “Competition Frustrates First-Time Buyers”?
To give you an idea of how competitive the market is in Sacramento for first-time buyers, here are a few quotes from several first time buyers and real estate agents:
“It’s been a bidding-war hell. I increased my offer by $12,000 on one, and I still lost out. I was $13,000 over asking price on another and still didn’t get it.”
- Laurel Bane
“You make an offer and there’s already 30 (ahead of you). And four are cash. I’ve had clients cry. It’s a great time to buy a house because of interest rates and the pricing. The problem is getting an offer accepted.”
- Larry Henderson, agent
“Usually, within 24 hours, I have multiple offers coming in. I almost dread it. My phone rings off the hook with people asking if (the house) is still available.”
- Bruce Hammer, agent
That’s what’s going on in this market. So if you’re a first time buyer or someone who wants to get into an entry-level home, what are you supposed to do?
Demand far outweighs supply, and the area’s housing supply is now less than 3 months (meaning, at the current sales pace, it would take less than 3 months to sell off every house in inventory!).
Although we’re primarily a real estate investment firm, we do also have a realty division, so in response to this housing crunch, here are a couple of things we’re doing for our first-time buyer clients:
» We and our investor clients are buying more properties in the most desirable areas for entry-level homes. Most of the properties we acquire are distress properties that need repair, so we buy them, rehab them, and then make them available to our in-house clients. In certain cases, our first-time buyer clients may be able to pre-purchase a home BEFORE the rehab is complete (like how they do it in new home sales); thereby, avoiding the bidding wars, multiple offers, and prices being run way up!
» We’re now focused on ramping up the number of home listings we have. The benefit to our first-time buyer clients? They get first shot at the listings we obtain!
Here’s another form of relief that may be happening soon: We’ve been getting updates from several top REO agents, bank executives, and asset managers that several banks are getting ready to release a good chunk of their repo inventory within the next few weeks.
Just yesterday, one of our sources told us Chase Bank is about to release a whole years worth of their foreclosures! How real is this? Who knows. We’ve been hearing this kind of thing since Spring.
It does make sense though.
A lot of this inventory squeeze seems artificially manufactured by both Federal and State government. The moratoriums, the workout programs, and the pressure on banks to modify loans or do short sales can only last so long.
A good percentage of loan mods end up in default again within 6 months. Short sales are happening more often, which is a positive trend, but they’re still not happening fast enough.
The bottom line? This foreclosure problem is way too big for government to handle. We’re still seeing record highs in NOD’s (Notices of Default), which is the start of the foreclosure process!
Anyway, that’s my opinion. So …
If you’re a FIRST-TIME BUYER, that should be welcome news! Give our office a call if you’re looking for a company to work with that has unique market knowledge, and gives you priority access to exclusive properties and listings.
Happy House-Hunting,
Bill Guting
