Real estate investors are working overtime right now trying to cherrypick as many profitable deals as they can get their hands on. Most investors concentrate the majority of their time on finding motivated sellers.

Instead of...more
You can create tremendous wealth in real estate regardless of the current market conditions. While we're in the midst of an investing climate that hovers somewhere between perilous and challenging (depending upon who you ask), there's still a ton of money to be made. To cash in on the profit potential that's at your doorstep, you need to uncover the right solution. It's not as hard as you might think.When the market was flying high, a real estate investor could do no wrong.

Did you know that to rent a 4' x 6' floor mat costs about $5.00 per week or about $260.00 annually. Most floor mat rental companies require a three year contract to lease their mats. Under this scenario the cost over a three year contract can be well over $700.00. The unfortunate fact is that most companies that lease or rent their floor mats use more than one mat, so the financial impact is usually much greater. Add the following fees and the real expense for floor mats starts to snowball:Bogus "delivery fees" (Seriously, if I pick the mat up will these be waived?)Cleaning charges (If they don't clean the floor mats, will these also be waived? What am I paying for?)Fuel surcharges (Again, will these charges be waived if I decline delivery and cleaning?)Environmental Charges (What's this for - global warming?)When faced with the option of either purchasing or renting your floor mats the following question is often posed, "Who will clean the mats if I purchase them?" I would hazard a guess that regardless of whether one buys his entrance mats outright or chooses to enlist the services of a mat rental company, that the end user will still be tasked with periodically cleaning the...more
