My name is Barry Grimes and I was like millions of other Americans (maybe
like you) with a great job at a very large and stable company. I did not have any financial
problems and considered myself "secure".
New management arrived and the rumors of downsizing began to circulate. I didn't worry
since I had survived other downsizings, and besides, "I had an MBA and over 20 years
of experience in the industry."
To make a long story short, my position was eliminated. I was lucky and found another
job within a couple of weeks, but with a salary 25% lower. This of course would lead to
financial problems.
I then had a scary thought. "What if I get downsized again?" I had not even
started my new job yet, and I was worried about another layoff. This is no way to live.
It finally hit me, my financial wellbeing was completely out of my control.
The Only Real Security is to Take Control of My Life
My new employer was also a large, well established and respected company. However, this
time my eyes were wide open. It's a faceless corporation that could get rid of me at any time
for any reason. But what choice did I have? I had to earn a living and provide for my family.
After much thought I understood the inevitable, "there will never again be security
working for someone else." The idea of our employers providing security actually
disappeared a couple of decades ago.
Not only do you have to worry about downsizing, layoffs and off shoring, but there is also
gross mismanagement and corporate greed, which has driven some very large companies to
bankruptcy. Millions of employees lost their savings and retirement plans.
Building My Own Business was the Best Solution
The obvious solution was to build my own business. But this is much easier said than
done. Any business that I started would have to meet the following criteria:
- I have to be able to build it in my spare time, " I can't quit my job right now."
- I have to be able to start with very little money.
- It has to be able to generate income quickly.
- It must have the ability to grow and allow me to eventually quit my job.
- It must have a stable, high demand product.
- It must have no financial risk to my family.
With this criteria in mind I began researching business opportunities. Most were very
expensive, and promised instant riches with little or no effort. Of course these promises
were farces and could not pass my criteria.
Then late one night I saw an infomercial advertising buying homes with no money down.
Could Real Estate be the Business I was Seeking?
Could real estate investing be the perfect solution?
I Immediately targeted my research to real estate investing. It seemed almost too good
to be true.
I could work in my spare time. The infomercial said no money down. A profit should
be there in about 45 days. I could definitely quit my job within a couple of years or
sooner!
I learned in my research that real estate has gone up in value for many years and has
often outperformed the stock market.
The only problem was the no money down program costs over $300, which would really stretch
our budget to the max. I decided to take a chance and purchased the program.
It was too good to be true. The program had some good information, but was
much too complicated for a novice.
I decided to try and make use of the program any way, and began calling real estate ads
in the paper. I noticed an interesting ad that read, "Real Estate Birddogs needed, I
will pay you $200 for leads, No experience necessary".
I immediately called the number, and found out all I would have to do is look for
properties around town that were for sale.
There Must be a Better Way
I quickly began looking for leads and found several, but they weren't the type of leads
the Investor was looking for. He was looking for certain types of properties. No one wanted
to take the time to show me how to find these properties.
Real Estate Investors are very busy, and time is definitely money for them. I had to bring
something of value to the table that would not waste their time. I knew this was a great
opportunity, but I had to find a solution for my problem that would be of value to the
Investor.
The Investor hated looking for properties, and spent a great deal of time qualifying leads
from his Birddogs. Most of these leads were rejected and a waste of time. The Investor was
going through useless leads instead of buying and selling properties.
That's It!
The light bulb finally came on and I made a unique offer to the Investor.
"What if I brought you pre-qualified leads complete with all of the information you
need to buy the property?"
His reply, "That service would be extremely valuable!" I also knew Investors
would be more willing to train me if I helped save them time, and make them money.
In my spare time, I spent the next six months researching what seemed like thousands of
websites, reading book after book, and interviewing dozens of Investors from all over. All
to find out what types of leads Investors find most successful, what information is required
and how to find the properties that meet their needs.
The result was a type of Real Estate Investor, which I coined the "Real Estate
Jobber.™"
I now had a safety net in case my new job was eliminated. I had gained new skills to
provide for my family. Even better, Real Estate Jobbing would lead to Real Estate Investing
and allow me to quit my job. Now I'm in control again.
Real Estate Jobbing Meets all the Criteria!
There really are no start up costs or financial risks.
After helping a few friends get started, they suggested that I "bottle" the
system. I realized there were others looking for a great opportunity like this. Again in my
spare time I spent the next six months developing the Real Estate Jobber's Income Generator
System, now called the Real Estate Jobber Course, to allow others to benefit from the knowledge
that I have built.
I was advised to sell the program for a much higher price, but that defeated one of the
criteria; to be able to start with little money. That's why the investment is so affordable.
The system offers an easy, risk free way to start your own real estate investing business.
You are able to earn very good money while learning the business.
Now that I have some experience, those no-money down techniques make sense!
Don't leave your future in the hands of someone else, take action today!
