take 10 to 12 years for the Echo Boomers to go through the
     marketplace, just like there were 14 years of Baby Boom-
     ers.
        So now we are in a situation where there has been no
     new supply added to the marketplace but a heck of a lot of
     demand. It’s going to take the construction industry at least
     a couple of years to catch up!
        So you start buying apartment buildings today at today’s
     lower rents and lower occupancies (remember when buy-
     ing cash-flowing properties, we ALWAYS buy based on
     current cash flow), you buy using conservative formulas
     and you buy with at least a 10% cash on cash return. With
     cash flowing properties, we ALWAYS buy based on current
     cash flow), you buy using conservative formulas and you
     buy with at least a 10% cash on cash return. Which means
     your properties cash flow now.
        Then you hold on to these properties, let the manage-
     ment companies collect the rent, deal with tenants, and deal
     with the maintenance and repairs. You oversee the numbers
     and cash checks.
        As you accumulate more….you cash more checks. Your
     primary job as an investor is to get into more cash flow-
     ing deals. And right now is one of the best times to do this
     because the rest of the population still thinks real estate
     sucks because that’s all you hear in the news. There is not
     much competition.
        As you start moving forward, the market starts to
     change. We start coming out of this recession, more Echo
     Boomers enter the market, rents begin to rise, which makes
     values rise and this makes YOUR monthly checks rise and
     YOUR equity (your wealth) rise.
        This continues for a couple of years and all of a sudden,
     we are into an economic recovery, housing prices and
     multi-family prices start to rise substantially and the news
     media starts talking about the “comeback” of real estate

Which means your properties cash flow now. Then you hold on to these properties, let the manage- ment companies collect the rent, deal with tenants, and deal with the maintenance and repairs. You oversee the numbers and cash checks. As you accumulate more….you cash more checks. Your primary job as an investor is to get into more cash flow- ing deals. And right now is one of the best times to do this because the rest of the population still thinks real estate sucks because that’s all you hear in the news. There is not much competition. As you start moving forward, the market starts to change. We start coming out of this recession, more Echo Boomers enter the market, rents begin to rise, which makes values rise and this makes YOUR monthly checks rise and YOUR equity (your wealth) rise. This continues for a couple of years and all of a sudden, we are into an economic recovery, housing prices and multi-family prices start to rise substantially and the news media starts talking about the “comeback” of real estate and by this time….you are unplugged and living the life of N ATIONAL R EAL E STATE leisure….you are rich.

The vast majority programs, financing (no credit is required), of financial institutions want simplicity in their product lines and so they only offer the plain vanilla deposit accounts, certificates of deposit (CD), stocks and mutual funds. Those assets are much easier to manage, and more importantly, generate more revenues for those institutions. Fortunately, a handful of companies will set up self-directed IRAs, which enable you the investor to invest as you choose — such as in real estate! secured trust deed investment programs, private lending opportunities, and professional administrative consulting.” Their streamlined process has created successful and profitable re- sults for many residential and commercial investors. “We have systems and training modules both to develop your skills and enhance your knowledge, not only now but also throughout your future as a real estate investor,” Edrosolan adds. Once an individual is a part of the Whiterock Capital investment team, they will also have the benefits of mentoring, but they will not be instructed by someone reading out of a manual from out of state. Instead, Patrick says they will be personally mentored by knowledge- able individuals who are all successful active real estate investors themselves. “You will be supported in your education not only by your mentor, but by an assistant and a dedicated coaching director, all who are per- sonally involved in your success,” Patrick adds.
