Sure, you’re making money hand-over-fist as an agent right now — but what’s your long-term plan for building wealth? Whitney Nicely, an expert property investor and real estate coach in East Tennessee, has some ideas for you.

“I focus on monthly investments,” Nicely explains. “I don’t do regular listings — I make way more money investing.” Intrigued? Nicely will be sharing her secrets at Inman Connect San Francisco, July 17 through 20 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, in a session about investing strategies for agents.

 Nicely uses lease options and owner financing to create her real estate portfolio. “I teach agents to make four offers every time they look at a house for a seller: a cash offer to buy it, two offers to take over payments with either a 5-year or 10-year balloon loan, and then they should offer to list it. But listing is a one-hit wonder — after you sell, you have to go find something else.”

She just focuses on investing, herself. She finds “tired” landlords and sellers who are interested in her balloon payment options. “I take the properties over when they’re empty, then I have people move in and pay more than the mortgage costs to live there,” she says. “I’m basically a glorified tenant who sublets my properties out.” She’s got 15 homes, 19 apartment units, and “a lot of little pieces of land.”

Agents who try this tactic will find that after two to three years, they could make up to $10,000 every month in steady income. “Sometimes we overcomplicate the process,” opines Nicely. “I’m able to be successful by talking to my sellers and presenting myself as a one-stop shop where they can just get rid of their property.”

Could it work for you? Find out at Inman Connect San Francisco in July.

Amazon HQ2 talks reportedly narrow to Crystal City, Dallas and NYC

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its  $5 billion, 50,000-job  second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported  this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations. Discussions around Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. have cooled somewhat while Amazon’s team has been having more talks with representatives of the other three cities. Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

A tech millionaire wants to build a blockchain city in the desert

The desert in northwestern Nevada near Tesla’s Gigafactory is filled with sagebrush and dust, but if a cryptocurrency millionaire’s high-stakes gamble goes the way he wants the land will soon bloom into a full-blown city unlike any that has preceded it. The land includes 68,000 acres of desert near Reno. The man behind the plan is Jeffery Berns, 56, a lawyer and the founder of a company called Blockchains LLC. And the idea is to create an entirely new community, the size of a city, that is based entirely on blockchain — a kind of digital record keeping technology that is best known as the transaction ledger behind cryptocurrency Bitcoin . “We are building the world’s first smart city based on technology, from infrastructure all the way up,” Berns said Thursday in Prague during a launch event for the project. A moment later he added that, “It’s not so much a city as much as a series of different projects to highlight the power of a public blockchain.” The New York Times toured ...
