    About this ebook

    Allow me to share my story with you.

    My name is Cory Boatright. I am 35 years old and since my early twenties I have started, run, or been directly involved with almost 40 different companies.

    I have sold everything from Ginsu knives on eBay, Kirby vacuum cleaners door-to-door, all the way to $50,000 high-end electronics Online.

    Out of the forty-something companies only TWO of them ever proved to be worthwhile endeavors. The other thirty-eight I decided to call "business therapy".

    Interestingly enough, both of the successful companies harnessed the power of the Internet to make their profits. After bringing in almost 4 million dollars in sales from my first start-up. I sold it and directed my passion to the world of real estate investing.

    Why real estate?

    Well, most of my affluent customers in my first business owned real estate so I knew there was something to be learned in that industry. I was a complete novice to it And...oh...by the way before I forget...did I mention that I didn't even graduate from high school? Apparently my drive to succeed coupled with my persistence to not fail clouded my judgment of the value of a formal education. So instead, I settled for a G.E.D.

    I'm not looking for any pity-party. I just mentioned this to demonstrate that if a highschool dropout can make it, the doors are open for just about anyone else to do it too.

    Now fast forward a bit into my real estate experiences. I started out being a "bird dog" which means I was out finding good deals on properties and getting paid a finders fee for it. That fee was usually $500 -- $1,500. After I learned how much money the investor was making selling the houses I was bringing him, I quickly learned how to assign, wholesale and flip distressed properties.

    That brought in checks anywhere from $3,000 -- $10,000. Not bad, but I had a hunch those properties were worth a lot more after they were fixed up.

    So I decided to put together a "skeleton" rehab crew and thought I would make $15,000 -- $30,000 per deal, but I was sadly mistaken.

    My rehab attempts ended up being more of a mirage instead of a real profit center. My $30,000 paydays actually came out to be more around $17,500 after considering all the contractor frustrations, material costs, labor, marketing, selling and other holding costs.

    Needless to say I had more fun assigning contracts.

    It wasn't until around 2004 that I stumbled my way through a short sale and I made over $30,000 on that deal!

    That was the most money that I had ever made on one single real estate transaction.

    I couldn't believe the lender would accept less than what was owed for a payoff.

    I was immediately hooked and quickly learned everything possible about the short sale process. The more I learned about Short Sales, the more I was asked by other investors to partner on deals.

    I quickly became known as the local "go-to" guy for doing short sales. Other investors continually asked me how they too could learn to do what I was doing. So after being asked by numerous fellow investors to teach and coach them on the subject, I decided to "dive in head first" and write my first information product/home study course.

    What I discovered in real estate investing was something I never expected. Not only was the short sale niche secretive, but the entire industry. And the "real truth" was shared only amongst a small, tight knit group of investors, but not anymore.

    I've cornered the "top dogs" in their niche of real estate investing and forced them to talk. When you finish reading "Real Estate Recession Riches" you are going to be smarter and wiser newbie or advanced real estate investor. Period.

    Remember... be a servant,

      CHAPTER ONE

      HOW A FULL-TIME COP IS MAKING A KILLING INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE…PART-TIME

      While it is pretty evident that investing in real estate is a great way to go, I’m sure that a lot of you are wondering how to manage trying to build a successful real estate business while having a full-time career. Well, I’ve got a bit of experience in that, and hopefully in these next few pages, I can give you some ideas that will convince you that you can do this, too.

      You might be in a different situation than I am. You may work more hours. You may have other things that you have to deal with. Whatever your situation is, you can work through it. That’s the key. Now, let me just give you an idea where I’m coming from, and how I’m managing things.

      First, I work full time as a police officer, and will at least until I’m vested, which will occur at my 10-year mark (October 2009). I work over 40 hours a week - well, 41.25 hours per week, not counting any overtime on calls that I might get. When I started investing in real estate, I worked part-time jobs on my days off. I worked at a bank, at a school, and at numerous other part-time gigs. (You’ll find that most police officers have part-time jobs to supplement their income.) My wife and I had made the decision that once we had kids, Tracy would stay home to raise them. We now have two wonderful boys and we stood by our decisions, although at first we were pretty financially strapped and had very little free time.

      Since we began investing in real estate, I no longer have to work any extra jobs at the Police Department to make ends meet. Of course, real estate has taken the place of those extra jobs, but investing pays a lot better, which is why I began doing this. Investing in real estate is coming close to providing me with enough cash flow to decide if, when, and how much I want to work (it’s pretty hard for me to consider my investing real work) and to spend time with my family.

      Enough of my background. Let’s move on. I’ll tell you how I accomplished it, and I’ll give you some tips on how you can do the same.

      What I love about real estate is that you can fit your work into little bits of time - if you do it correctly! Now, if you decide to start off with a huge rehab job with no education or experience, it will end up biting you in the end. That’s absolutely the last project I would advise you to start, both in terms of risk and time.

      EDUCATE YOURSELF

      First, you’re definitely going to need to get some education. While I love investing and have tons of courses and training material, the biggest mistake I could make would be to think that I know all there is to know about investing. I suggest you make it a point to enjoy learning, because it will pay you massive dividends.

      Now, most cops listen to the radio when they are driving around on patrol. Instead of that, I turned a disadvantage into a huge advantage and put all of my courses on my iPod and spent eight hours a day listening to information that would grow my mindset. Although I don’t imagine that most of you have eight hours a day to listen to educational stuff - and I’ll be honest, there were some days when the last thing I could listen to was something about real estate - I would recommend that, whenever you’re driving around, you listen to something that will help to educate you or propel you toward your goals as opposed to music day in and day out. This is a huge key to success!

      If you have limited time, you have to make it a point to make the most of the time that you do have. Even if you’re only driving to work for 10 to 20 minutes a day, you also have 10 to 20 minute to drive back, so you have 20 to 40 minutes a day to educate yourself. If you have errands that you have to run, that could grow your listening time even more.

      Let’s add it up: 20 minutes x 5 days (a typical work week) = 100 minutes x 50 weeks = 5000 minutes, or over 83 hours per year! If your travel time is longer than that, you’ve just bumped it up even more! Little bits of time add up immensely! Think about moments when you are wasting your time and find a way to use them to bring you closer to where you want to be. Do you have any books in the bathroom? Why not?

      FIND THE TIME

      Your next step is to leverage your time. I don’t know your exact situation, so I’ll just imagine that you’re starting from scratch like I did, with little cash and very little time. You may be a step or two ahead, and if so, then you can adjust accordingly.

      I would highly recommend that you make a time chart and account for every minute of every day for a week. Just make a diary of what you do during every half hour. Now, if you’re an average person, you probably waste enough time watching TV, surfing the Internet, reading newspapers, or reading e-mail - time that could make you millions in real estate investing, if you could only apply it correctly.

      EVERYTHING YOU DO IS EITHER MOVING YOU TOWARD YOUR GOAL OR AWAY FROM IT.

      PERIOD.

      So, take a week and journal exactly where your time is going. You will be amazed at how much time you’re wasting. I know I was! Once you do this, you’ll have an idea of where your time is being wasted. It might not be much, but it’s something. Your job is to find that time, and schedule it for developing your real estate investing business. It doesn’t matter if it’s reading a book, going to lunch with an investor, going to a local REIA meeting, making offers, or whatever. You just have to start where you are, and plan time to do it. And then….JUST DO IT! Pick a set amount of time that you want to use for your freedom, and make it part of your schedule.

      Once you have an idea of how much time you’re wasting, you have to figure out how you can begin investing with your limited time. The quickest and easiest way that I have found to invest with the least risk, effort, and time is by wholesaling, or flipping houses.

      Now, I’m not talking about the type of Flip This House kind of flipping that you see on TV where they do a complete rehab. That’s the last thing I’d point you toward. I’m talking about finding a deal, locking that deal up, and passing it along to someone that’s looking for a deal! That was what gave me the belief that I could do this thing, and on my first deal, I made $5,000 (about six weeks of my policeman’s
