$30,000 In Profit!

I am an experienced investor who has done 25 previous deals, so I know what I am saying when I tell you that Ed Rooney is the real deal! I started with him not really knowing what to expect but I soon learned that his mentorship is FAR better than anything have ever seen, or have been a part of! He provided me with a deal after only two weeks with a profit of $30,000!!! And then, he GAVE me his crew to help me with the renovation job! He personally walked me through the entire project to instruct me on how to extract as much value as possible and has provided me with over 100 leads of potential listing that his company had passed over. Bottom line, he bent over backwards to help me succeed and has provided me with the tools to take my business to the next level!!

Yukiko Nakayama- Ashburn, VA

$31,000 On First Lead!

I got my first deal from Ed’s leads in May of 2008. The crew was in and out in 10 days and they did a fantastic job. The house was an hour away but Ed still allowed me to use the crew. I bought the house for $255,000 and it is worth $350,000. This is my first deal ever and I look forward to acquiring more through Ed’s program. Ed’s hands-on teaching style sets him apart from any other mentoring program out there. His staff at the office is very friendly and extremely helpful. The fellow students in the program are fantastic and you can learn a lot from their experiences as well. Overall, the leaning environment is very positive and thanks to Ed I look forward to a long successful career in real estate investing. Thank you Ed for all your help!

Incredible $260,000 In Net Profits!

We were experienced investors, but our business took off once we met Ed. In the past, we had paid for a mentor to help us, but were very dissatisfied with the level of service. With Ed’s help we are in the currently in the midst of a very profitable Real Estate deal. In the third month of the program we purchased a property in Beltsville, MD worth $430K for $205K cost. Because of Ed’s expert negotiating our profit spread is an incredible $225,000 leaving us with a net, net profit of $110,000!!! His expert negotiating helped drive our purchase price down and we would never have gone this far through the process without his expertise. There were countless roadblocks that would have left us baffled, but Ed knew what to do at every turn. We would highly recommend Ed Rooney as a mentor to all new and inexperienced Real Estate investors. Maybe even some of the experienced ones too.” Up-to-date we have made an incredible total net profit of $260,000!!!

Ed Saved My Lost Deal!

You are the Man! It worked! Everything went as you planned. You know, initially I was very skeptical about signing up for your mentoring program after my bad experience with another program. The very first day when I signed up for your mentoring, we went together to my investment property, and you gave me detailed market analysis of that house. You also helped me to choose the right strategy for dealing with troubled home owner. Thanks to your guidance I just got $10k check for my deemed to be lost investment and got a confessed judgment note for the remaining amount! Thank you very much! Your mentoring program is already paid off by recovering from this seemed lost investment. Oh, by the way, legal fees are also paid by this note!

I Was A Cocky Real Estate Broker, Until I Met Ed!

Ed Rooney, what can I say? Intense, no nonsense, encyclopedic knowledge of real estate and all the tricks of the trade to make it happen and to make money. I was a cocky real estate broker, until I met Ed Rooney. We’ve been working together a little over a year and have already purchased 9 houses. And we flipped one to another investor. All total, we’ve realized a net profit of about 700k. Ed has shown us how to market for best results, how to seek/contract with hard money lenders, how to negotiate with sellers for best results. He has also taught us how to close the deal when it’s a good one and when to walk away when it’s not. I love doing deals, with Ed Rooney. Nothing is left to chance. And, at times, he can even be fun!

Ed Rooney … What A Guide!

I’m a technology executive at a prominent internet company. As Ed has put it, I am an “analytical thinker” After hearing others talk about real estate investing for years, I conducted my own extensive research and felt I was ready to take the plunge. So I entered Ed’s mentoring program, hoping to marry my analytical thinking and self-starter work ethics with Ed’s vast experience and “hands on” methodology. I was not disappointed. It was quickly apparent to me just how much of a gold mine Ed’s True Apprentice mentoring program was. Although it is good to learn from your own mistakes, it really helps to be able to learn from Ed’s vast knowledge and avoid the same mistakes altogether. Ed often says something like, “It’s not what you don’t know, it’s what you don’t know you don’t know.” This statement is SO true. I have learned so much through Ed’s personal tutoring. I will never forget how Ed led me through the entire end-to-end process on my first deal. It just so happens the seller was actually “seven” sellers who were all heirs to an estate. Not your typical homeowner! But in the usual Ed Rooney fashion, he recognized and anticipated each seller’s individual concerns, even before they articulated them, bringing them together in unison by the end. The result? A very nice profit for both of us to split. We have gone on to purchase another 3 or 4 properties, since then. Ed’s program is invaluable. There’s no doubt about it!

I Went From Information-Gathering To DOING!

After taking a Rehab boot camp with a national seminar real estate guru, I had enough high level knowledge to do a rehabber, but didn’t have enough confidence to do my first deal, until I met Ed. Even though I’ve only been in the program a few months, with Ed’s mentoring, I can focus on working on real deals, without going through “analysis paralysis,” as Ed says. While I’m now actually in the field, working on putting deals together, my new investor classmates, from the rehab bootcamp, are still in the information gathering phase. Ed is a great coach, and always wants his students to be action oriented. He gives me actionable things to do for marketing. And I know that once a deal is on the table, a support system is ready to support me through the rehab process, which is invaluable! Hands-on learning is the best way to learn and build confidence. Ed provides all the “moving parts” knowledge that you can’t get anywhere else, which gives a new investor a sizable advantage. He is also easily accessible, which is another huge benefit to his mentees.

You’ll Never Walk Alone!

Ed Rooney has been a great mentor. His real estate program is second to none. I’ve been involved with other program, but they do not compare to the one-on-one attention that Ed gives you. You never feel by yourself with Ed. He takes the lead and guides you, literally, step by step at the kitchen table of the homeowners, who I found through his program. If you are serious about real estate investing and are ready to make some sacrifices, don’t waste your money and time on any other guru that promises everything and delivers nothing. Ed Rooney is the real deal.

Ed’s The Answer To My Prayers

I’m very good, working with my hands, and am a hard-working home improvement and remodeling guy. But, I’ve always worked for owners of real estate and never thought of myself as a real estate investor. That is, until I met Ed Rooney. Ed’s a smart, self-taught, successful real estate investor, who has given me an opportunity of a lifetime. He has taught me how to find, fund, rehab and sell distressed properties. Ed’s time-tested investing principles and methodical processes work! His methods and resources are backed by his personal “take you by the hand and show you exactly what to do” teachings. Ed partners with his students on deals. He teaches you what he knows and how he does it so well. He takes the students to the homeowners’ homes, negotiates the deals, writes the contracts and even goes with the students to closings. Unlike other programs that say they’ll teach you, Ed Rooney DOES it. You learn by listening, watching and doing. He does the work with you, while you learn — and he even splits the profits. And it doesn’t stop there because he also finds the loan and co-signs with his students. Ed is a no-nonsense business man, who’s ready to teach, mentor and coach students who are ready to roll up their sleeves, get dirty and learn fast. Believe me, there’s money to be made with Ed Rooney. I’ve been with Ed for just a year, and my profits on my first deal were $24,985. We flipped one house to another investor for $15k profit. And we have two other properties that have recently gone on the market. My projected profits to make between the two are approximately $65,000. And we have a property in Annapolis that should be on the market by mid April, with projected profits of about $35,000 for me. If you’re like me and never dreamed you could be in business for yourself, making more money on one deal than many make in a whole year, you owe it to yourself to do whatever it takes to get in Ed Rooney’s mentoring program!

One-On-One Time With Ed Is Great!

I have only been in Mr. Rooney’s mentoring program for three months, so far. And, I don’t have my first deal, yet, but have come close a few times already. I’m one of those people, who has no previous experience in real estate investing at all. So far, what I have liked is the personal attention I get from Mr. Rooney and his wonderful staff. They respond to all my questions very quickly. Ed has taught me how to find properties, how to run comps and how to tell if it’s a good deal or not. My next challenge is to work on my negotiating skills, which I’m confident will only get better with time. I love the one-on-one time, with Mr. Rooney, and I also learn a lot in the classroom, listening to other students discuss the deals they’re working on. I consider myself fortunate to be able to learn from someone as successful as Ed Rooney. Having access to such a mentor is truly a blessing.

Ed Got Us To Take Action!

Fear is the one thing that was holding us back from becoming real estate investors. We had attended a number of seminars and bootcamps and, while we had learned a lot, Ed was the one who really got us taking action. As a very successful investor himself, Ed took us through the steps of finding, buying, rehabbing and selling our property. He even negotiated the deal for us while we were watching and learning. And we made $78,000 on our very first deal! There are a lot of land mines on the path to success, but Ed has been down the path hundreds of times, and we benefitted from his knowledge and contacts. We were committed to do this, and this program really worked for us. Thank you!

Experience Is The BEST Teacher, And Ed Provides That In Spades!

One of Ed’s favorite sayings is, “the best teacher in life is experience.” I love the fact that though we may be new students, and have no experience, we benefit from Ed’s vast experience. When we listen to Ed, we save time on deals that aren’t deals. We all know that we’ll be taken care of. I don’t have a deal yet, but I have learned crucial skills to evaluate deals to see if they are worth working, which is priceless. From how to read comps to how to use the MLS, short sales information, along with legal aspects of our industry – all are crucial to make deals happen. What I like most is Ed’s expectation for his students – if we follow his system and work hard, he knows we will succeed. You do your part, and he will do his. If you are looking for a get rich quick program, this is not it. You have to put in what you want to get out. But with the support you get at True Apprentice, it’s not a question of ‘if’ you’ll succeed; but a matter of ‘when.’

$70k more in my pocket!

I bought, rehabbed and sold 14 properties the year before I started Ed Rooney’s mentoring program. By the end of the first class, I realized I could have saved $5k or more on each house I purchased. So, if I do no more than 14 houses, like I did last year, I’m sure I will be able to keep $70k more in my pocket – at the very least. And this is from what I learned in the very first class.

Hello! We hope you enjoy our monthly newsletter and will benefit from Ed’s real estate investing tips and our students’ experiences ‘in the trenches!’

Steven Wright is a comedian of the absurd. Here are a few of his off-center observations:

• I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.

• I intend to live forever—so far, so good.

• The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

• Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

• I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

• Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

—Johnny Carson

I’m Ed Rooney, with True Apprentice and I want to give you a few real estate investing tips… just some things I’ve discovered over the years that I hope will help you, as much as they’ve helped me. So lets get started.

Lets talk about financing your houses. That’s another fear my students have. Big question mark. How do I finance the house? Where do I get the money? Hard money lenders can be found just about anywhere. Local newspapers, REIA meetings and investor clubs … but normally they want you to have some experience. If you are working with a mentor, then you are much more likely to get the loan. In most situations, I co-sign for all my students for that reason. It’s very difficult for them to get the loan without me signing with them.

The hard money lenders charge 5 points, 6 points sometimes and 8 points in the extreme. And anywhere from 10-18% I’ve seen for the interest. The note is normally 6 months, but sometimes it can be for a year.

So choose a hard money lender carefully, whether it’s 6 months or 12 months. And beware! Because at the end of the note, whether 6 months or 12 months … you must know how many extra points you could have to pay at that time or face possible foreclosure, by your hard money lender.

“How the New EPA Regulation on Lead Paint Affects You!”

by Paul Lawrence, Rehab Manager

Q: A student asks … The EPA has a new regulation concerning lead-based paint.
Do we have to worry about that, and what do we have to do?

A: Paul responds … Yes we do have to be aware of this new regulation for houses built before 1978. The concern, though, should not frighten you away from an investment purchase. The concern can actually work to your advantage, which I’ll explain in a bit.

New rules from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency require contractors, doing projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child-care facilities and schools to be certified in lead-paint safety practices.
“EPA is trying to make sure people who work with lead-based paint and leaded surfaces understand lead-safe work practices,” said J. Clifford Fox, assistant director of the Center for Environmental Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Source:http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/business/health_med_fit/article/LEAD30_20100329-222809/333868

So, the EPA now requires companies, installers and renovators to register with them, acknowledging they’ve been informed about the guidelines and will take proper procedures to address them.
As an example, window supplier/installation companies have to be class-certified, by going through a full day of training on the conditions of lead based paint.

Upon learning the age of the home, and before executing a window replacement, these companies will charge the site for doing a lead based paint test on each opening that will be disturbed. (Disturbed means that the lead based paint would be chipped or sanded in the process of doing the renovations.)

The company that does ALL my window wrap and replacements, siding and ALL our cabinet needs, will charge us a standard 1st window fee of $60.00 for outside windows. Every other ‘disturbed’ opening will only be an additional $15.00 to test for lead paint.

If the test is negative, they proceed with the installation — business as usual. If the test is positive for lead based paint, they proceed, according to the classroom instructions they learned, during certification. And then they dispose of the lead based product properly.

The same rule will apply to the interior of the home. If there is lead based paint on trims, doors and walls, you must remove and dispose of the trims, doors and jambs. And if your project will support the cost, you remove the wall boards. OR, you cover the walls with new material.

Now, back to the point above, where I said this can actually work to your advantage. The presence of lead based paint can even become a good negotiating point for you, IF you know how to use it.

Ed Rooney recognizes these conditions and many others. The former home owner will also be acutely aware of his lead paint problem, even if he pretends otherwise. Ed will capitalize on this fact and use it to demonstrate to the seller how much their home is really worth, after adding up the considerable expense of getting rid of lead based paint in the home.

So, are the EPA’s new regulations concerning lead paint to be taken seriously? You bet they are. And, if you’ve learned to be a shrewd negotiator, you’ll know how to use that ‘problem’ to your benefit.

Leave a comment/question below, and I’ll do my best to respond!

Lift Off!

Are you REALLY Ready to Receive Success?

By Carolyn Permentier

That question may sound a little strange to you, right? “Of course, I’m ready to receive success, why do you think I’m working so hard to learn all I can in real estate investing,” you may ask?

Yet, there is a strange phenomenon that exists in millions of people. And that is deep down inside many of us don’t really believe we deserve success. And when I say ‘deep,’ I do mean deep. It’s unconscious, actually.

Do you think you suffer from an unconscious belief that somehow prevents you from being successful? Even though you’re very intelligent and have enjoyed some modicum of success in your life, does the ‘BIG WIN’ always seem to allude you … just slightly out of your reach?

Remember the line from the C&W song … “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” Most folks, though, have no clue that they are the ones creating whatever they experience … good or bad, based on what they believe to be true.

I know, from my personal experience, this unconscious belief will wreak havoc in your life, if you don’t become aware of it and ACTIVELY re-program yourself to ACCEPT good things into your life.

Have you ever heard the ole saying, “Well, I’ll believe it when I see it!”? The truth is just the reverse, however …

You’ll see it ONLY when you believe it!

What does that mean, exactly? It means that when you know (believe) deep down, beyond a doubt, that you deserve all the good that life has to give … you will SEE it. It will manifest in your life!

It you wait and wait and keep waiting for success to come to you, without KNOWING (belief to the 10^th power) it is on its way … you will never see it. NEVER!

After you KNOW you WILL be a successful real estate investor (or anything else you want), you continue to HOLD that vision, unwavering, until you create it.

This is not my rule. This is a Universal law.

If you don’t believe, deeply believe in yourself, your talents and abilities – and in your God-given right to BE successful and to have all the good to flow into your life … YOU WILL NOT SEE IT.

So believe you deserve. SEE it already done in your mind. Take ACTION toward your goal. And DON’T STOP, until you achieve it!

A great, timeless book on this subject is “Think & Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill. It’s a classic, withstanding the test of time because it embodies Universal truths … and they don’t go out of style!

Learn & Earn

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:33:36 +0000

Earn while you learn!

Many aspiring investors get caught up in a cycle of ‘getting ready to get ready.’

They go to seminars, take courses and read books — but never get down to actually investing. Many of our students have spent over $100,000 on courses, seminars and bootcamps, but never made a dime until they joined us. (You’ll hear them yourself in our success stories.)

Even when you are ready to launch your business, do you get trapped just ‘getting ready to get ready?’ Like Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, urged in his book ‘Ready, Fire, Aim’ — Ed’s hands-on approach takes you from procrastination to profit in the shortest amount of time.

What are the barriers that keep you from moving ahead? If you’re accepted into our live mentoring program, Ed will identify the hindrances and help you to stay on the path. You will learn different ways to profit in real estate investing. Why not profit from his mistakes … you don’t have time to make them all yourself!

Your first lesson is getting the phone to ring, with prospects calling you, by your second week. Then Ed teaches you how to ‘pre-qualify’ the call. Don’t worry if you’re afraid to talk on the phone, because Ed does it for you … while you listen.

No more ‘getting ready to get ready.’ With Ed as your guide, you’ll get ready, while you’re actually BUYING properties. With over 22 years of real estate investing experience, Ed Rooney is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. He has bought and sold over 1,100 houses. Ed Rooney has access to all the resources you’ll need to buy and sell property. To help you buy your investments, Ed often co-signs on the real estate purchase loan! Find that anywhere else.

Ed wants to save you time and money. Because the faster you learn, the faster you’ll both make money.

All this and much more is in store for you, while you work with a master investor at True Apprentice. Haven’t you had enough theory? It’s time to get out of your head and onto the street where the money is made.
