Tom began building his real estate fortune with the purchase of his first property at age 19. Despite having no credit or money of his own, a deal presented itself and Tom was able to see the incredible potential profits in real estate. This was his wake-up call.
He realized deals are born every day in nearly every city, big or small. The circumstances that create opportunities for buyers are not unique, but rather commonplace. Deals arise from divorce, disasters, death, bankruptcy, bad decisions, inheritances, and retirement. These are the roots of all deals and they happen everywhere in the world.
Tom was lucky to learn at an early age that real estate investing is a business where everyone is equal, rich or poor. The person who has the deal in his hands — the contract — is the person who will make the money. Today, Tom owns and manages over 150,000 square feet of property rentals, houses, commercial centers, offices, industrial and flex properties.
In this book, you will learn Tom’s methods and see links to the top videos on his YouTube channel, FlipAnythingUSA, where he elaborates on exactly how to make money as a real estate investor.
You will also learn how Tom developed tools to find the best deals in any community and how to out-negotiate the competition. This knowledge comes from years of experience and hundreds of wins and losses. All of Tom’s lessons are explained here in a very conversational and easy-to-understand manner. This is your chance to learn from a friend. The book is based on real stories: the opportunities, decisions, success and — yes, even failures — that have made Tom McKay one of the shrewdest and savviest investors in the country.
Tom takes you from the beginning, where he started out with nothing, looking for a deal first and the money second. Because as Tom would explain, when you have the deal, you hold all the cards. Even if you are broke, as long as you have a contract to buy a property at a great price, the rest is simple. Getting a deal on what someone has and what someone wants is where the easiest money is found.
If you adopt Tom's method and attitude, you can follow in his footsteps, making millions on land, commercial and industrial buildings, apartments and houses.
Regardless of whether you are a teenager, a senior citizen, or anywhere in between, it's not too late to change your life. You can make thousands — sometimes even tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tom knows age and income are not a factor with his methods. Taking action is what is important.
