Flip Real Estate Virtually with Paul Lizell & Jay Conner

Jay Conner

00:02:57

My guest is a good friend. We’re in a mastermind together. Well, he is the founder of The Virtual Investor. That’s right. He is a virtual investor and virtual wholesaler. He’s been flipping properties all the way back since 2001. And he actually is the original virtual wholesaler. And he’s purchased all over the US since 2009 virtually. In addition to that, my guest has bought and sold properties in 44 out of 50 states and continues to look at expanding into new markets. Now, in addition to that, he contributes his success to utilizing systems and processes that simplify the online buying process. He’s focused exclusively on online auctions bank REOs, buying off of the MLS, and wholesalers across the country since 2013. I’m so excited to have my friend and fellow mastermind member, Paul Lizell. Paul, welcome to the podcast.

Paul Lizell

00:04:32

Thanks for having me, man. I really appreciate it.

Jay Conner

00:04:34

Absolutely. I’m excited to have you on here, Paul. And of course, we’re going to be seeing each other again here pretty soon at one of our upcoming mastermind meetings. And today we want to hear all about what it’s like to be a virtual wholesaler. What in the world does that mean? And what’s that process look like? But before you get started on all that, tell us, how’d you get into real estate?

Paul Lizell

00:04:58

Interesting story. So let’s go back to the 1990s when I was in college. I was working for my uncle who’s a general contractor and he bought a quadplex, a 4-unit building. We fixed it up, renovated it. He turned around and rented it out. He was making pretty good profits on this property, too, and still had a lot of equity in it. So that kind of stoked my interest in real estate. And that point on, after he bought a few more and we renovated them and I was going through college, I decided this is something I got to get into. It’s gotta be my long-term goal. So I did and basically in 2001, I started my first property. Unlike his, it was a fix and flip. I got into that so I could build up some cash. Eventually, I did build up, got some rentals as well, but stuck with the wholesaling, the fix and flip game owner-finance game, and I’d been doing that ever since.

Jay Conner

00:05:46

That’s awesome. So, were you doing fix and flips a while before you started doing wholesaling? Or were you doing wholesaling and fixing flips simultaneously, like right out the gate?

Paul Lizell

00:05:59

Well, I really started in the fix and flip game and then when I had too many flip deals going on, I did a couple of wholesale deals. And I started to realize it was kind of easy doing these wholesale deals. So after the crash of 2008, 2009, when all the marketing was just tanking, and you probably remember that well, I’m sure, I decided, all right, let’s go more to the wholesale game and turn them and burn them, and we did that. And we still did fix and flips, don’t get me wrong. We kept those good deals, did fix and flips on them, kept some good deals, rentals, some owner-financing, but we basically became virtual wholesalers at that point. We started expanding. We started in Pennsylvania where I was originally from. I just moved here to Florida this past month, but originally I’m from about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia. And so I started in that market, expanded out, went to Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, the Carolinas, which I love and where you’re from. And then I started going down to Florida, Texas, before you know it, I bought and sold in 44 to 50 states.

Jay Conner

00:06:57

First of all, let’s make sure everybody understands what we’re talking about when we say wholesale a deal. There’s more than one way to wholesale a deal. So, what’s your definition of wholesaling? And what’s that look like?

Paul Lizell

00:07:11

So for most people, they think wholesaling is getting a property under contract from a seller and assigning that contract and collecting assignment fee. So for us buying bank-owned properties, and we do a few of those, don’t get me wrong. We do a few of those deals, we get some of those referrals. But, primarily, what we do with auction properties or bank-owned or HUD properties, we have to buy them, take them down and then resell them. So, it’s a wholesale, it’s just we actually have to take down the property. So we do need the funds to be able to purchase it, whether we use transactional funding, private lending, as you’re great at, at raising money, we do as well. We love the raising money game and using private lending for that. But yeah, it’s kind of the same deal as it is with assignment of contract, it’s  just we actually take it down so we show ownership at one point.

Jay Conner

00:07:59

So, what’s the advantage of actually buying the house instead of getting it under contract and then collecting an assignment fee?

Paul Lizell

00:08:09

You know in certain states there’s been a crackdown, I think Tennessee and Illinois have had a crackdown on wholesalers where they’re making them become licensed realtors. So I think this kind of negates that because you’re actually purchasing the property, right? You’re showing you have the vested interest, not just the vested interest or equitable interest, you actually purchased it and took it down. So you have the right to do what you want to afterwards, and nothing can come back. So from a legal standpoint, we’re probably the safest and best. I am licensed in Pennsylvania. I probably will get licensed in Florida. And occasionally we’ll do some of those assignment deals, but for the most part, we just take them down, resell them. And in this market, as you know, wholetailing has been unbelievable, just getting the property in decent enough shape to be mortgageable reselling it, not sitting on it for 6, 7 months while the rehab is getting done, while the showings are going on. It’s much quicker, you’re in and out 30 days at the most, and you’re hopefully selling it in 30 to 45 days in this market right now.

So, it’s been much quicker and better.

Jay Conner

00:09:08

Right. So the reason you actually buy the house and take ownership of it is, that way, regardless of where you’re doing business, you don’t have to worry about there being issues with just collecting an assignment fee. Am I hearing you right on that?

Paul Lizell

00:09:27

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we would prefer to do it without having to have all the cash and buy it, but the banks don’t allow you. So if you buy a property from the bank, you can’t just assign it to another buyer, you must take it down in your name and you can do things with it. We’ve done things in trust. You know trusts are great. But the problem with that is, unless it’s an investor that’s a buyer investor, that trusts in you and understands what you’re doing, that they know what you’re doing, they usually don’t want to buy your trust, or if you put it in an LLC and sell them that LLC, they don’t usually want to buy it. And I totally understand that, they’re going to want to put it in their own name. We’ve run into that in the past with Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae had that anti-flipping where you couldn’t sell it for more than 20% of what you paid for. I think it was 90 days after the deed was recorded, not when you purchased, but when the deed was recorded. So with those properties, it either had to do something off the HUD, or we just had to wait those 90 days and then just sell it to them at that point, which has other risks. But, overall, if you’re making profits, I’m alright with that.

Jay Conner

00:10:26

There you go. So when you’re buying the houses in today’s market, are you primarily selling them to other real estate investors at a profit? Or are you selling them to people that are actually going to move in and own the home themselves and live in it?

Paul Lizell

00:10:44

In this market, we’ve done more to end-buyers. More people are going to live there than in the past. Typically, we sell to other investors for the most part, but in this market, the way it’s been and the kind of properties that we targeted, we’ve kind of pivoted and go on into less of the trainwreck properties, the ones that need everything and more to the ones that just need a little bit enhancing to get it back to become mortgageable and then resell them. So we’ve kind of pivoted a little bit just in this market to try to take advantage of what’s there. Go after the low-lying fruit rather than everything else.

Jay Conner

00:11:14

I got it. I know it’s going to depend on the market. I mean, you’re in all kinds of markets all over the nation, but what kind of profits are you seeing in today’s market doing the business the way you do it?

Paul Lizell

00:11:26

So our wholesale profits are generally around $12,000 per deal, and that’s your standard wholesale. If we’re wholetailing it, we’re around $32,000 and the full-scale fix and flip we’re into anywhere from probably close to your number, the $67,000, but we’ve had plenty of that have been $80,000, $100,000, even $120,000, especially in this market over the past year. So it’s been nice, but those are your full-scale rehabs. And those were the home runs, obviously, they’re not your average.

Jay Conner

00:11:55

Right. And we’ve already said it, but I want to make sure our audience understands it. Tell everybody what wholetailing is versus wholesaling.

Paul Lizell

00:12:05

Yeah, great point. So wholetailing is more or less where you’re getting a property and it just needs some paint, some carpet, it doesn’t need a full kitchen gut. Maybe you just repaint the cabinets. Maybe you put new cabinet poles on them, or maybe put countertops on them. With bathrooms, you’re okay with them but maybe you just put a new toilet in, or a new vanity or even easier sometimes, just a new faucet on a sink. And then you’re reworking your painting and carpeting. Usually, you don’t have to do roof siding, windows, things like that. So wholetailing has really just been super profitable. It’s more so than the fix and flip, believe it or not, for us. When you look at it from a time standpoint, we’re selling those so quickly, as quickly as our full-scale fix and flip, but we’re putting less effort in, and our holding costs are so much lower. It’s been worthwhile for us and less management of contractors because it can be one of the most difficult, taxing things in this business.

Jay Conner

00:13:00

Do you think that wholetailing, or in other words, “not doing a full rehab,” but you just make it okay and nicer? Do you think wholetailing is so much more popular now and working so well because there’s just no inventory?

Paul Lizell

00:13:16

That’s it. You hit the nail on the head with that, Jay. We go back to 2009 when I was doing fix and flips. If I didn’t do a full-scale, redo everything, you didn’t have that many buyers interested in the property unless it was the first-time home buyer. But as the market has gotten hotter and hotter and has lesser and lesser inventory, people are being less picky figuring they’ll do some of the work themselves. So it’s really just kind of taking what the market gives you. We follow it in our business. We follow the “Keep it simple, stupid” theory, and I think that’s the best thing to do in any business. Whatever the market is giving you, take that, right? If you don’t need to do the full-scale rehab, don’t, unless it’s going to warrant you getting an additional $50,000 or $60,000 where it becomes worthwhile, just take what the market gives you.

Jay Conner

00:13:56

Yeah. So how do you determine how to price? Like if you’re wholetailing a house to an end-buyer, what’s your criteria for pricing that home at the stage you got it in versus a complete rehab?

Paul Lizell

00:14:15

So basically what we do now with the wholetailing, we’re discounting it at 10-15% off what the normal end, full-scale rehab would be, which is still giving some equity to the buyer, should they want to do something there. And still it makes them fly off the shelves, I tell you, they don’t last very long when you’re just doing the basics and people see it’s clean and easy. I can change the carpet. I can change the paint color or whatever, I can do this or that. So people aren’t as picky as they used to be because there’s just no inventory. It’s hard to be picky. You take what’s there, basically, more or less.

Jay Conner

00:14:50

So in this market, as long as it’s clean and it smells good, if it’s dated, that’s okay, right?

Paul Lizell

00:15:03

Yes, dated, okay. You go do the ’80s, ’90s style. People can live with that as long as things aren’t broken, right? As long as you don’t have holes in the roof and things like that. Roofing is definitely a big issue, HVAC system for people. We just did one in Laurinburg, North Carolina, and unfortunately it did need a new HVAC system, so we did install that. We’re still gonna do pretty well. His property is still gonna net around $32,000, even though we had to do the roof and the HVAC system and the rest of it was a wholetail.

Jay Conner

00:15:32

Gotcha. So when you’re wholetailing to an end-user, are you finding the buyer by listing it with a real estate agent in the MLS?

Paul Lizell

00:15:42

We are. So, 90% of the time we do that. And occasionally like we did in one in Charleston, Tennessee, which is a very rural area, I had my disposition manager reach out to a bunch of agents in that area to just let them know we have a property and we offered them 2% commission. And the only thing we had to do was put it in a hot water heater in that one. That was literally it.

Jay Conner

00:16:05

That’s amazing. So first of all, to be virtually wholesaling, you have to find these deals and there ain’t no inventory to speak of. So everybody wants to know, well, if there isn’t any inventory, how in the world are you finding the deals?

Paul Lizell

00:16:27

Well, we got a little bit of an advantage over a lot of other people in the market. Most real estate investors out there stick with certain territories, maybe one or two markets out there. Occasionally somebody does three or four, but for us, the whole country is our oyster, really. That’s what we look at. We got inventory anywhere. We have preferred states where we’d like to do business, don’t get me wrong, but if there’s a great deal in another state where we don’t typically do business, we will go there. Just to give you an example, we’ve done 5 deals in New Mexico this year. We hadn’t done a deal in New Mexico in I think the previous 6 years before that, so we just kind of take what the market gives you. If there’s a deal there, we’ll take it. And we also hit those tertiary markets, and the second-tier markets that if you’re looking at a town or a city like Charlotte, go an hour outside, like a town like Kannapolis, Gastonia, and then go another hour outside that loop there. And then you’re in like a third-tier market. We target those markets because people do want to live there, especially now with what’s going on with the pandemic and everything. People are looking to be more and more rural. So it kind of fits right into what we’ve done all these years, which is a big advantage for us.

Jay Conner

00:17:33

Right! So how do you get the leads?

Paul Lizell

00:17:35

So for us, it’s our own time. So we pay no marketing fees, right? We don’t have any marketing costs whatsoever. I had turned off the direct mail marketing in 2013 and I just buy exclusively off of these auctions. For me, it’s really looking at what’s on the auction sites right now. We use VAs. We have several VAs that do this for each different auction site, whether it’s Auction.com, Xome, the Hudson & Marshall, Hubzu, Realty Bid, Auction Network, HUD Home Store, Fannie and Freddie. We have them go through and they do what I call “First-level fig.” They look at it and we give them the criteria of what we look out for – square footage, repair amount – and then they’ll send me a spreadsheet on Excel. Yes, yes, no, no, no. So, let’s say there’s 250 properties on this particular auction that’s coming up.

We might weed that down to about 20 to 25 that we’ll actually bid on. And then as the bidding process goes, if we’re getting out there and we just let those go off and again, we pick the low-lying fruit there. We’re not going to get into a bidding war. Today, for example, there’s a property in Florida that was in Sarasota, which is a red-hot market. It’s a nice market. My maximum allowable offer is 141 because there’s a buyer’s premium on this property. So the most I would spend was 150 because the ARV was 350 tops. This thing ends up getting bid up to 203 with a buyer’s premium. It was over 210 that that person is purchasing a property for, plus it needed everything. This thing needed at least 125 and work. So basically whoever bought this is probably an end-buyer, but they’re going to be upside down when all is said and done. So we fall off that, we have our maximum viable offers that will go up to, and you can’t get emotional with it, right? That’s a nice market. I would have liked to have been in there, but it didn’t fit our criteria. So I let it go.

Jay Conner

00:19:27

Paul, in case we’ve got some listeners that need to leave the show a little early, go ahead and let folks know how they can get in contact with you and continue the conversation.

Paul Lizell

00:19:38

Sure, absolutely. So we have a couple of different websites. www.REOAuctionAcademy.com is one of them. And also FlipRealEstateVirtually.com is another one. Both URLs work. You can contact us, and if you want to learn more about our coaching program, which we teach people how to do exactly what we do. As a matter of fact, we teach a lot of other investors who do direct mail, postcards, and PPC. They want to learn this aspect of the business. They actually hire somebody or have somebody who doesn’t have as much going on and let them handle this whole new arm of the business for them.

Jay Conner

00:20:13

Again, those 2 websites are REOAuctionAcademy.com, and the other one is FlipRealEstateVirtually.com. All right, so you got the leads coming in. You got your VAs researching all the houses that are coming up on all these different auction sites. How in the world do you have boots on the ground, eyes on the ground, in all these different markets, taking a look at these houses to even know what a close estimation of repairs would be that you need to do? Because, obviously, you don’t want to bid on a property until you know what kind of repairs you’re looking at.

Paul Lizell

00:21:02

Absolutely. And this is one of the most important things. So how you develop these kinds of relationships and these relationships end up blossoming and give you more deals throughout the years. I’ll give you an example of it. So in Tucson, Arizona, there was an REO agent who I bought a bunch of properties through over the years from 2010, all the way through now, we still currently do. Basically, he saw I was a serious player in Tucson, Arizona. We wholesaled a bunch of them. And then he was starting to bring me deals and bring me leads and bring me properties. So he was my boots on the ground. And how that started was I just reached out to him initially after I was bidding on some properties, and this is what you need to do if you’re entering any new market, you need to contact the realtor or the REO agent for that property.

If it’s a bank-owned property, get some details. You’re trying to get the BPO, which is the “Broker’s Price Opinion” of the property. And if you can get that, that’ll tell you basically what they think the “as is value” is, the 30-day sale price, the 90-day sale price,  the 120-day sale price. And they’ll show comps on there, and that’s like, that’s gold. That’s gold when you get that. So you utilize them for that. You also try to get additional pictures from them. And then you’re trying to get what kind of repairs are needed because they generally know, again, the utilities usually aren’t on, but they know what repairs were needed. They know if the roof’s leaking, they know if the air conditioner or heater looks really bad and it looks like it needs replacing, the hot water heater. They’ll tell you if the kitchen needs to be replaced. And the best referrals I get for contractors, hands down, is from these agents.

And the big reason is these contractors who work for these agents get referrals and they get a lot of referrals. So they do not want to screw over these agents when they’re giving them, basically, free marketing. So the guys that we’ve used from all the agent referrals have all been good, and I’m going to knock on wood when I say that, the ones that I run into that have been bad are ones that I picked on my own. I’ve also gotten great ones, but the best referrals from people who are there, who have boots on our ground and have local people, you know how to do those repairs. So we relied big time on the agents on these properties. If there is no agent, we use a company called BPO Photo Flow that’ll go out there and take some pictures of the property.

And if we have a lockbox, they can usually get inside, take more pictures. And we kind of tell them what to look for, like take pictures of the exterior, make sure there’s no cracks in the foundation, take a picture of the basement, the systems, make sure the HVACs are right, hot water heater, kitchens and bathrooms are important. You know, anything that they noticed cracks or issues with flooring, whatever, anything off-level. We want to know that kind of thing. If there’s moisture in the basement, just so we know what we’re in for an aid, generally do a pretty good job and they’re fairly inexpensive to utilize.

Jay Conner

00:23:49

And what’s the name of that service? One more time.

Paul Lizell

00:23:54

It’s BPO Photo Flow, like “Broker’s Price Opinion.” BPOPhotoFlow.com. And they do a really good job. They’re not in every market, so sometimes we actually have to reach out to other local agents and send them out there. And then we just pay them basically more or less to go out there and take some pictures for us and then tell them if we buy it, we’re going to list it through you. We do offer that. And if we do buy, we do end up listing it with them or having them help us sell the property if they know some investors.

Jay Conner

00:24:20

So these REO real estate agents, also known as bank-owned real estate agents, have the listing for these properties that are going up for auction. So obviously if you buy it, you don’t have to pay them anything for the purchase because the bank, the REO, is paying their commission. But do you compensate these agents in any additional way other than when you make a purchase, the bank pays them?

Paul Lizell

00:24:46

We do at times, like if we know they’re going to be doing above and beyond, and they’re not going to get the listing, we will definitely pay them. We’ll say, “What do you want for this? Or what free one for that service?” They usually are very, very fair with the prices and we’re glad to do it. We just Venmo them most of the time. I’ve never really run into any issues with that. Most of the time, they’re really happy to just hand the listing for you. I even have thought of them managing my rehabs for me because they know the contractors, they kind of manage, oversee, and take pictures. They’re happy to go do that. They see the progress and they want it listed so that they can get their permission when all is said and done.

Jay Conner

00:25:21

Awesome. And how do you find these REO agents? I suppose one way you could find them is, well, your VAs are looking at auctions coming up. They go research the property and right there, they see who’s got the real estate listing on it. Right?

Paul Lizell

00:25:37

Absolutely. And you get a lot of these agents who will have 5, 10, 15, 20 different properties. And they’ll cover a huge geographical region, which is crazy. I mean, they’re running around all the time. Nobody works harder than an REO agent, that I can tell you. Those guys and gals, they work their butts off and they are good. Their numbers are so spot on. For example, on a property we had in Ohio a few years back, I was talking to the agent, “What do you think the value of this property is, as is?” And she’s like, it had to be somewhere between 17 and 20. Sure enough, we picked it up for like $7,500. We sold that for $17,500. She was just right on the money with it. And that happens time and time and time again, the only time, if you’re in with a newer agent, that’s where you want to be careful.

If it is a newer real estate agent, they’re not going to be as experienced. You’re going to want to try to lean on a secondary agent. Hopefully somebody that’s in one of these towns that has their own brokerage that’s been there for 10, 20 years and really knows the market. Well, those have been our best sources. Far and away, the people that are in small mom & pop shops, they just know the market. They know everybody in town. They usually know who lived in that property, especially if it’s a smaller town, like you live in, Jay, they know people, right? And they’ve been our greatest source all over every market that we’ve ever been in.

Jay Conner

00:26:55

Let’s say that you make a bid and you win the bid at the auction and all these auctions are online, right?

Paul Lizell

00:27:04

Yes. They’re all online.

Jay Conner

00:27:05

So you win the bid. So now you’re the winning bidder. On average, how long do you have before you get close? In addition to that, do you sometimes, or always get a home inspection before you take it down?

Paul Lizell

00:27:22

So, Jay, I’ll answer the first question first. 30 to 45 days usually is what you got, time-wise. Sometimes a little bit longer. If the title is a little cloudy or there’s past issues or where something wasn’t done right at the Sheriff’s sale. That’s the answer to the first question. The second one, we never get a home inspection. We’ll just send a contractor out there. I don’t have too much faith in the home inspection field, business, people. Most of these guys learn out of a book and never swung a hammer a day in their life. So the people I rely on are the contractors. I try to find general contractors that really know everything, as many aspects of it. And yeah, if they miss some stuff, sure, they’re gonna miss some stuff here and there, but they’re going to see the big stuff. And they’ve been a great source for me and are far less expensive because you’re just gonna pay $400 or $500 for these home inspections when I can send a guy out there for a hundred bucks to give me a pretty good inspection, you know.

Jay Conner

00:28:14

And again, as you said, you find these general contractors by referral from the bank-owned real estate agents, right?

Paul Lizell

00:28:21

Yup. And about 95% of the time, they don’t charge you a penny to go out there. They’re hoping to get the work.

Jay Conner

00:28:26

That’s fantastic. Well, this is a fantastic business model you’ve got, Paul. Any parting comments?

Paul Lizell

00:28:35

I love it. It’s a great business model. The one thing I really like about it is that I can turn a business on or off anytime I want, unlike the direct mail marketing or the PPC where you gotta be on those calls right away. On a PPC lead or direct mail, it’s constantly going. If I want to go on vacation, I shut down for 2 weeks or a month. If I want to go overseas, I can do that and just stop operations and start right back up when I get back. So I do love that. That is my favorite aspect of the business. I also don’t have to deal with home sellers 99% of the time. So those are 2 facets. I really like how it’s really simple. It’s not turnkey, but your time is your marketing costs, right? Your time and energy, which is your most valuable asset. Your time is all your costs involved.

FIFA World Cup: The new players in camp with the US Men's National Team

US Soccer Players – For individuals all over the planet, December is the period of gifts. The equivalent is valid for Gregg Berhalter and the US Men's National Team. For a program hoping to augment the recess between the initial eight Concacaf FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the last six games to figure out who will go to Qatar for the competition next November, December is an ideal opportunity to give and get.

Fans from all over the world are called to book FIFA World Cup 2022 tickets from our online platforms WorldWideTicketsandHospitality.com. Football World Cup fans can book USA Football World Cup Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

Doing his best Santa Claus, Berhalter passed out solicitations to 26 players for a drawn-out public group camp. The time frame will finish up with an amicable against Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 18, whenever this gathering will get an opportunity to substantiate themselves against outside contest. In a time when such a great deal the senior public group is youthful, Berhalter's call-ups aren't just an activity in the soul of giving.

His quest for players who can assist him with joining fit the bill for Qatar, or maybe make the outing to the Football World Cup itself, can't quit throughout Concacaf's colder time of year intermission. Berhalter is expecting to give himself something this December: The endowment of choices. There are a couple of veteran countenances in camp, players previously adding to the passing exertion.

Then, at that point, there are the ones returning from long-haul injury, similar to Jordan Morris and Aaron Long. All included getting the opportunity to show Berhalter they can be useful in later camps. Until further notice, the attention is legitimately on the new faces. A few of US soccer's most brilliant youthful abilities are in camp, prepared to make the following stride in their worldwide professions.

Significant League Soccer's chance towards institute-created youth is delivering huge profits, and Berhalter's most recent program mirrors the new reality. Twelve of the 26 players in California have zero senior covers. Here is a gander at a couple of them as they set out on the journey for global greatness. For more to know about FIFA World Cup Tickets Click here

JONATHAN GOMEZ

Gomez is a player between clubs right now. US Soccer's list records him as a Louisville City player, yet he'll be en route to join Real Betis of La Liga when the colder time of year move window opens in Spain. That the 18-year-old fullback was culled out of the second division of American soccer by a club in one of the top associations in Europe addresses his huge ability. Gomez took a whimsical course to genius soccer and a European exchange, however, every move is paying off up to this point.

One justification for additional consideration on Gomez is the Texas local is likewise qualified to play for Mexico. In any event, playing against Bosnia wouldn't cover tie him, so this December camp will not choose his global future? In any case, it resembles a positive sign that Gomez acknowledged the call-up. Berhalter will get an opportunity to present the defense for the USMNT to a gifted player at a place of need for the public group.

CADE COWELL

Cowell is one more of the 18-year-olds in camp, one of six on the program. The San Jose Earthquakes forward endorsed as a 15-year-old from the club's institute is as yet in the beginning phases of setting up a good foundation for himself as a power in MLS. He acquired his first MLS minutes in 2020 and broke out in 2021, making 14 beginnings and gathering 1617 minutes.

Five objectives and five help put him second in the group in the two classifications in 2021. On the off chance that there's a player in Carson without a senior cap who could have a prompt effect in the public group, it very well may be Cowell. His colossal actual gifts make him a small bunch for safeguards, paying little mind to age.

KEVIN PAREDES

Among the eminent parts of Berhalter's program is the measure of safeguards. All the more explicitly, the number of players who fill in as fullbacks and wingbacks with their club groups. Among that gathering is DC United's Paredes, an additional 18-year-old who broke out at the homegrown level in 2021. Joined's all-over season pushed Paredes' mission off the first page, yet the Virginia local dazzled enough to acquire MLS Team of the Week acknowledgment on three separate events.

Trusted from the get-go by first-year joined lead trainer Hernan Losada, Paredes set up a good foundation for himself as one of his group's most steady entertainers north of 19 beginnings and 24 all-out appearances. Paredes' capacity to cover the wing and contribute on the two sides of the ball makes him an optimal fit for Berhalter's framework. In Carson, he'll get an opportunity to demonstrate he's prepared for a greater stage.

CADEN CLARK

Like Gomez, Clark is going abroad when the exchange window opens. Clark's leap is a major one, moving from the New York Red Bulls to RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga in January, because of the association given by the worldwide organization of Red Bull clubs. The second-year expert showed glimmers of his gigantic potential in 2021, yet a crisis appendectomy implied missing the current year's Gold Cup. For more to know about FIFA World Cup Tickets Click here

Clark played with the U-20 group that went to Mexico for a three-game competition in November. In a senior camp with Berhalther's course, Clark can push for consideration in the developing rundown of youthful, powerful aggressors playing in qualifying.

GABRIEL SLONINA

The most youthful player on the program is 17-year-old Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina. Slonina's quick ascent to conspicuousness is procuring him correlations with a portion of the world's top goalkeepers when they were at the beginning of their professions. In an association like MLS, mentors are frequently reluctant to go to unpracticed goalkeepers, especially when there are spending plan amicable choices accessible.

Slonina asserted the Fire's beginning spot for great in late September and dazzled down the stretch of the period with his shot-halting and development. In a year when the Fire battled, Slonina was an uncommon brilliant spot. His play procured him consideration from the USMNT, however Poland too. The Illinois local is qualified for Poland through his folks yet has up to this point acknowledged call-ups from the USA as it were.

Slonina's chance with the USMNT could possibly get him his first worldwide cap. In any case, at 17, he's as of now well on the ball for players at his position.

Ancestry Academy: Check New State Classes and Short Courses

They Still Live a journey into the discovery of yourself. What does it mean to White, European, Black, Native American, and others? How am I different from Denver artists? Alisa Anthony and Thomas Detour Evans ask all these questions that have shed light on a dialogue about heritage through a picture sequence pairing African art relics, from the Paul Hamilton collection with African Americans from the Denver community.

Each sketch is designed to make a new conversation on ancestral heritage and origins and tells the story of the Ancestry DNA results. Ancestry took the interview of Paul Hamilton, an African Studies academic and previously was Colorado State Representative and famous collector of African masks. African Art asks him why this display is so difficult to the conversation of ancestral origins and identity.

While gathering African art, one of the discoveries was that the origin of Modern art was African art. Paul says Picasso and other’s artwork were influenced. Amidst Paul’s prized work is a Dan collection that boosts nearly 100 masks that are costly in the art world. Another workpiece is Buddha Dogo that originates from Mali. The Dogons have rich and deep scientific and astrological knowledge from more than 500 years ago.

Paul admits, I learned to despise Africa, as it was thought to be uncivilized. It was not unless he began studying history, finally becoming a history professor at college, he started a life-changing journey to discover the truth on Africa and its deep and rich history. Based on the research, Paul went to write African People’s contribution to World Civilizations.

After taking the Ancestry DNA test, Paul confirmed his ancestors or forefathers were from West Africa, and coincidentally, a large part of his art collection belongs from this region, including pieces from Liberia, Nigeria, Mali, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Republic of Congo. Before the Ancestry DNA journey, Paul heard from family legends who suggested his great-grandmother was half Native American, but the DNA result does not provide any sign.

Paul was not surprised by the effect of European Ancestry that seems in many results and can use his DNA results to provide support to his previous research. Paul says this is unique that provides an opportunity for all people to examine how their ancestors affect us, whether we know it or not. By presenting traditional African art in a modern setting, Paul hopes it will motivate positive conversations for others who are interested in discovering their ethnic heritage. Despite the political climate, Paul hopes that They Still Live show will be a small step towards progress and moving our nation forward.

Paul had dedicated his life to the arts and conservation of some of the finest works from Africa. Outside the statues and masks, The Hamilton Library Collection includes nearly newspapers, magazines, audiotapes, 2,000 books, videotapes, and educational materials focused on African, African-American cultural, and historical issues and concerns. The collection includes 1960’s magazines (Muhammad Speaks, Negro Digest, Black Panther newspapers, and Black Scholar) and newspapers and the journal from 1916-1970. There will be an opening reception for the They Still Live exhibition and Ancestry DNA results for each model will be announced on reception.

Ancestry DNA results uncover 46 years of questions

Leslie H. was adopted in 1970 after her adopted parents were not able to have a child. It was a dinner party one night, and members discussed the possibility of adoption when another guest said he knew a woman wanting to give up a baby. After a few months, Leslie was picked up from the hospital by the family attorney and taken to her parents three days old. Leslie said she knew that she was an adopted child, and my parents never hide it from me. She added I was brought up in a loving home with loving parents and two sisters.

My mother got pregnant after adopting me, and they had a healthy pregnancy. My mother delivered a baby after 13 months after I was born. I was the only adopted child in the home. Due to adoption, she thought that finding out the identity of my parents would be impossible. After Leslie’s daughter was born in the 1990’s, she started to find out the truth about her biological family.

After successfully requesting the court, they released the records. She got the name of her biological family with the help of a third party. After discovering her mother had remarried, Leslie tried to trace her married surname, so Leslie put her research on hold. She started her research by signing up to Ancestry and took the Ancestry DNA test. Her results offered her ethnicity estimate and connected her with cousins.

Having only her mother’s married surname and maiden name, she messaged a few matches, and one of those matches confirmed that she knew her biological parents as a child and provided their names. She finally got to know her biological father’s name. She matched the information provided by her cousin, and from the Ancestry DNA test, she talked with large online adoption databases only to find out that she had half-siblings from her parental side looking for her.

Within hours, Leslie received a call from her half-sister, Jessica. Their stories merge, and Jessica said they were also looking for Leslie for years. Leslie came to know that her biological father had passed away, but she had two younger half-brothers. They are in touch, and Leslie now knows more of her cousins and several aunts. After discovering her parental family, Leslie went to social media to see if she could not find her birth mother.

Leslie messaged a woman whose profile matched her surname. The woman replied and confirmed that she was her biological mother and provided loads of family history. This past January, Leslie met her half-brother, and a few weeks later, she met her biological mother in EI Paso, and they spent some hours together. It has been a fantastic journey, and it was not possible without the help of Ancestry DNA and Ancestry DNA testing. Leslie says I will be grateful forever.

PGA TOUR Superstore – Managed Growth in a Difficult Market

By ED TRAVIS

PGA TOUR Superstore hasn't bought into all the doom and gloom used by some to describe the golf equipment industry. For them the glass isn't half empty and in fact the Atlanta-based chain has been following a controlled plan of expansion to manage growth for the long term.

The opportunity for additional insight to this golf retailing success story came in an interview with Randy Peitsch, PGA TOUR Superstore's Senior Vice President of Operations. Peitsch has been in the top spot guiding day-to-day operations for the past two years after a five-year stint as vice president in charge of hard goods prior to which he was in divisional management at Sports Authority.

We questioned Peitsch about how PGATSS can accomplish growth in an unfavorable golf retail environment.

"It begins with hiring really good people, training them and then backing them," Peitsch responded. "We can then focus on the consumer experience. We are not in the transaction business. We are in the relationship business."

Well said but it should be pointed out that for the past several years the golf equipment business has euphemistically been called a "difficult market" with several events adversely affecting both the makers and sellers of equipment.

Golf retailers of all sizes have closed including the 463-store Sports Authority plus Golfsmith shuttered most of their locations after being purchased by Dick's Sporting Goods. Dick's, the sports retailing behemoth with over 700 locations, has reduced store floor space allocated to golf though recent statements by top management indicate they may be encouraged with the prospects for increases in golf equipment and accessories, particularly their private brands such as Top-Flite.

Manufacturers too have struggled with the largest, Acushnet Holding Corp (NYSE: GOLF), making a tepidly received public stock offering in late 2016. The former Fila Korea subsidiary, maker of several of golf's top brands including Titleist and FootJoy, reported flat sales in 2017 but an increase in net income of $47 million.

In May 2017 TaylorMade Golf, the third largest equipment maker, was sold by Adidas (OTCMKTS: ADDY) for a bargain-basement price to an investment company and in third quarter 2016 Nike closed its golf equipment division. Niche manufacturer Ben Hogan Golf filed for bankruptcy and during its recovery has opted for a consumer-direct strategy.

On the positive side the second largest equipment manufacturer Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) finished 2017 with 20% higher sales than the previous year mostly on the strength of its Great Big Bertha Epic line of metalwoods. Midsize manufacturers such as Tour Edge Golf, Bridgestone Golf and Cobra Golf also have said they did appreciably better last year and are looking forward to even more gains in 2018.

Many are saying we are seeing the first signs of some stability in golf retailing and certainly PGA TOUR Superstore is well positioned to take advantage. The company opened three new locations in 2017 for a total of 31 and number 32 opened in February with number 33 set for the Houston, Texas market.

Same store sales last year had a healthy increase of 15 percent plus overall sales increased 23 percent. Digging a little deeper there are even more signs of their expanding market presence:

-Black Friday 2017 same store sales up 20 percent and for the three-day Thanksgiving weekend up 15 percent

-Online sales for Cyber Monday increased an eye-popping 62 percent

-Customer club fittings topped 110,000 in 2017 and lessons hit almost 50,000

-Instore practice bays saw 100,000 participants during the year

Impressive, in fact very impressive, for a year when the number of U.S. golfers continued to decline. Golfer consumers are responding to PGATSS's extensive inventory, competitive pricing and perhaps even more to the service they receive whether online or in-store.

A trip to PGATSS has been compared with a visit to Home Depot and it should be since the private-held PGATSS is part of the AMB Group one of the Blank family endeavors along with the Atlanta Falcons (NFL), Atlanta United (MLS) and Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Family head Arthur Blank was one of the founders of Home Depot, retiring in 2001 as co-chairman.

Blank said of the success his stores have had in an uncertain retail environment, “At PGA TOUR Superstore we’re using the same philosophy that drove the Home Depot’s success and revolutionized the home improvement industry.  We offer a variety of products at value prices, incredible services and employ the best associates to provide a level of customer service that keeps visitors coming back because they love the experience.”

Most consumers acknowledge a visit to a PGATSS has a different feeling from the usual big box retailer. Employees invariably greet you and then thank you when you leave, an everyday example of customer relationship building.

Peitsch pointed out, "We focus on the consumer experience. If we do everything the right way, we win out over the competitors."

True certainly but beating the other guy also takes the proper pricing, inventory and profit margins.

According to Peitsch, "Margins have to be in the first sentence of any discussion and the partnerships with manufacturers are very important." Then as if anticipating my next question, "The trend in our margins has continued upwards."

Funds to pay for expansion must come from either borrowing or consistent profitability. Without the proper margins profits soon are nonexistent and discussing the entire business of PGATSS Peitsch made a critical observation, "Pay attention to the process and the results will come."

Questioned about expansion plans Peitsch then said, "The cost of retail space drives the selection of new locations." So, in addition to golfer demographics, brick and mortar economics dictate whether a site is viable or if even an entire market is suitable.

Peitsch commented that though they may be "under penetrated in the market we are the fastest growing and expect to open a store every other month, so we will have 50 by 2020." That would be a 50 percent increase in just three years and average store size at the end of 2017 was 40,000 square feet making them the largest off-course retailer in golf in terms of average space.

It's plain there is no "secret" to PGATSS success or maybe their secret is the relentless application of good business principles matched to an understanding of their customers.

Refreshing to say the least.

Become An AI Proficient Business Leader With This Unique Programme

Artificial intelligence has been increasingly extending its influence over businesses around the world, which has created a steady demand for AI professionals. While there have been significant discussions around the opportunities available for qualified professionals, their efforts still need to be directed towards achieving specific business outcomes. Enterprises, as well as mid to senior managers, are looking forward to effectively leveraging AI professionals into maximising their productivity. This has set the stage for a secondary demand for qualified AI business leaders. Today, business leaders need a proper understanding of the capabilities and limitations of AI to transform their businesses. The Indian tech industry is set to add 3 million new jobs over the course of the next five years. In fact, by the year 2023, the size of India’s tech-based jobs is predicted to touch 7 million. This includes Indian tech firms, MNCs, global capability centres of hundreds of international firms, enterprises across segments including e-com, BFSI, pharma, telecom, as well as over 1,300+ captive units. Research also suggests that 54% of employees of large companies need significant reskilling and upskilling in order to fully harness the growth opportunities offered by the Industry 4.0. Reports suggest that Indian executives are way more optimistic when it comes to the leadership taking the appropriate decision when it comes to usage and adoption of AI. In fact, 70% of the employees think that artificial intelligence will change the way an enterprise functions over the next decade. Neeti Sharma, Senior Vice President at noted recruitment firm TeamLease Services says, "Technology is creating opportunities and making way for newer jobs — many of them still unknown to us. The convergence of big data with AI has emerged as the single most important development that is shaping the future of how firms drive business value from their data and analytics capabilities." Today's recruiters from large organisations expect potential candidates to not just know the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, but they also want the applicants to have a domain understanding along with skills in data visualisation, computer vision, NLP, cloud platforms and deep neural networks.  More importantly, today's leaders are expected to be able to apply AI techniques to real-world scenarios such as data augmentation, sentiment analysis, product life cycles and even client servicing. Artificial intelligence has emerged as a highly sought after skill in the new IT sector and there's a need for a well-rounded applied AI course that will allow professionals to transition to this highly lucrative field. Great Learning’s intensive 4-month PGP Artificial Intelligence for Leaders programme covers the foundation of AI, data visualisation, computer vision, NLP, cloud platforms, Neural networks, and other core areas. The unique combination of hands-on online plus live virtual classes will equip professionals with the most in-demand skills in the growing and lucrative field of artificial intelligence. This programme also focuses on a conceptual and real-world case-based approach which helps to simulate working scenarios where AI can be adopted to improve business outcomes. Hari Krishnan Nair, Co-Founder, Great Learning, said, “Our current cohort of learners has an average work experience of 18 years with a significant number of CXOs, AVPs, and Directors from leading MNCs, who all come with a set of unique expectations from the program. The companies represented in the program include Oracle, GE, Verizon, Cisco, TCS, Indian Navy and many more. Since Artificial Intelligence is seen as a game-changer to drive new business models and transform workplaces, these mid and senior leaders are keenly interested in familiarising themselves with it. The increasingly engaged participation and inquisitive queries from senior professionals are indicative of the growing criticality of AI in the current business scenario. The program offers participants an immersive experiential learning of AI from a business leader's perspective with sessions conducted by senior academicians and industry leaders who are at the forefront of implementing AI and Machine Learning at their respective organisations.” The programme, which offers a dual certificate from The University of Texas at Austin – McCombs School of Business and Great Lakes Executive Learning, is suitable for business professionals who are looking to leverage the power of AI in their day to day decision making.

10 To Watch : 12219

10 To Watch FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 21 : Mayor’s Edition

More brands are "tangling with political and social issues in their advertising campaigns.” However, most Americans “would rather they don't try the same thing during the Super Bowl," according to the Wall Street Journal. Viewers are "likely to get what they want." The WSJ poll shows two-thirds of consumers "call the Super Bowl an inappropriate place for advertisers to make political statements." Baby boomers in the poll "disapproved of political Super Bowl advertisements more, at 77%, than younger cohorts such as millennials (55%) and Generation Z (43%)." Only 35% of Generation Z respondents "called political Super Bowl ads 'very' or 'somewhat' appropriate." The Super Bowl has "featured political ads before, most notably" in Super Bowl LI, which "took place soon after President Trump's inauguration." A year later, Super Bowl LII was "less overtly political, but still included” a Coca-Cola ad promoting unity, a T-Mobile USA Inc. diversity theme, and a Dodge Ram Trucks spot using audio of a Martin Luther King Jr. speech in an ad that promoted public service. Marketers have not "shown any inclination to charge into hard-core politics or social controversies" during Super Bowl LIII. However, with the country as divided as it is, themes imploring diversity, unity, and inclusion will no doubt make their way into the February 3 broadcast.

In its eighth consecutive installment, The POWER 100, Horrow Sports Ventures’ proprietary annual ranking of the most powerful athletes in sports, uses a complex statistical model to accurately compare performance and influence through on-field (50%) and off-field (50%) attributes. Athletes are then ranked based on POWER to find the TOP 100. Among interesting results: Serena Williams is not ranked for the first time ever. Her performance slowed after taking some time to start a family, and some controversial moments may have hurt her brand. Expect a strong bounce back once she’s back on schedule. Tom Brady (14), in the cusp of playing in yet another Super Bowl, has hit his highest ranking in recent memory, a nearly 54 place increase since last year. And the stellar play of NBA’er Giannis Antetokounmpo continued on the court and has paid dividends off the court as well, as he placed 8th. Top endorsement earners were Roger Federer (12) taking home $58 million in off court sponsorships and LeBron James (10) with $56 million. The highest place rookie from any sport is quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who finished 20th in the rankings and came within minutes of reaching the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Golf also got some encouraging news this week from the market research firm NPD Group, which reported that the golf market “has not only recuperated but experienced a significant uptick in sales” in the past 12 months, resulting in an 8% year-over-year increase up to $2.6 billion. “The macro environment for golf has been in a turbulent state, fueled by Golfsmith’s bankruptcy, major brands cutting back on their golf business, and courses closing. But today, we’re starting to see normalization in the market as those deep holes are now being filled,” said Matt Powell, vice president and senior industry advisor of the NPD Group. The industry saw increases across every product category. Clubs, which make up 50% of the category, grew by 7%, while equipment accessories such as balls (6% increase), gloves (7% increase), accessories (21% increase), and training aids (13%) also made positive strides in 2018. Callaway, Titleist, and Wilson were the fastest-growing brands among the top-10, joining TaylorMade and PING as the other two members of the top-5. With Baby Boomers retiring every day, great opportunity exists to introduce thousands of new retirees to golf. Combine that with a good economy, Tiger’s resurgence, and thrilling up and comers in the game and you have the makings of a stable industry.

It’s official: Austin will be the 27th MLS franchise. Last week, MLS Commissioner Don Garber recognized Austin FC as the league's 27th team, with the expansion franchise "set to begin play" in the spring of 2021 at a privately-financed, 20,000-seat stadium at McKalla Place in North Austin,  according to the Austin American-Statesman. While the team will be majority owned by Austin FC Chair and CEO Anthony Precourt, he also "plans to announce local investors soon." Austin FC is the first pro franchise for the Texas capital in any of the Big Five major American sports leagues. Team officials "hope to break ground at the stadium site by September and are finalizing plans that would allow construction to begin on a training facility at a yet-to-be-named private site." Last year, Precourt made his intentions known to purchase the Columbus Crew with a clause that would eventually let him move to Austin. But that deal was basically scuttled by passionate Crew fans. Precourt’s biggest challenge in Austin: competing with rabid University of Texas fans, especially now that UT’s football team is once again on the rise.

The University of Texas athletic department had more than $219 million in "annual operating revenue and total operating expenses" of just over $206.5 million during FY 2018, according to USA Today. This is the second consecutive year in which UT has had more than $200 million in both "operating revenues and expenses," as UT was at nearly $215 million in revenue and $207 million in expenses for FY 2017. Comparatively, the University of Michigan reported spending $175.4 million in 2017, and the University of Alabama's "total athletics revenue" for FY 2018 was $177.5 million -- up from FY 2017's $174.3 million that was "then a school record," according to the Birmingham News. Texas A&M also reported more than $200 million in revenue in 2017, but that amount was boosted by almost $93 million in "contributions received and spent by the department during that year, as the school continued a facilities-spending boom." UT attributed this impressive revenue to the school's football program at $144.5 million, a total that was "more than the total athletics operating revenue reported" for FY 2017 by all but 12 NCAA D-I public schools.

New Jersey’s total 2018 sports betting handle reached $1.24 billion at casinos, racetracks, or through online or mobile betting platforms. However, the numbers "flattened out during December after a record-setting November in sports books around the state and online," according to the Asbury Park Press. The "total handle in the state fell" from $330.7 million in November to $319.2 million in December, a 3.5% decline. Gross revenues also "fell" from $21.2 million to $20.8 million. The Press of Atlantic City notes the opening of two "new casino properties, the introduction of legalized sports betting and the continuous growth of internet wagering all contributed to a total gaming revenue increase of nearly" 8% in New Jersey from 2017-2018. In December, the gaming industry generated $247.4 million in revenue, a nearly 20% increase from the same month in 2017. In December alone, more than $319 million was "bet on sports" in the state. The end of year downtick means there is even more scrutiny on producing big numbers off Super Bowl LIII next month.

CBS Sports HQ plans to livestream 30 hours of content for Super Bowl week.CBS Sports’ free sports streaming network will air more than 30 hours of live, original programming during the week of Super Bowl LIII, including daily shows from Radio Row starting January 28, on-site daily reports, ten hours of original pregame coverage on game day, post-game analysis, and highlights. According to Marketing Dive, programming will include "Off The Bench with Kanell and Bell," Pick 6 Rundown, Reiter's Block and CBS Sports HQ Extravaganza which is a Super Bowl pregame show featuring a competition between CBS Sports Digital crew and a mix of current and former NFL players every hour before kickoff. This year's Super Bowl will be streamed across more platforms than ever before including online, through the CBS app for connected TV devices, tablets, and mobile phones, and via the CBS All Access subscription service. This highlights the shift from TV networks investing more in their digital offerings to give fans more control of what and how they watch

Barstool Sports has rolled out a premium “Gold” Memberships that has racked up 10,000 paying subscribers in just three days. Out of the 10,000 + subscribers, the sports and pop culture blog claims that 81% signed up for the $100 annual subscription. According to Digiday, Barstool Gold is a tiered membership product that offers everything from exclusive content and merchandise, early access to events and office tours, and meet-ups with Barstool personalities. The lower tier costs roughly $1 per week and higher membership tier costs roughly $2 per week and comes with a few extra perks for diehard fans. The launch of Barstool Gold comes at a time when the company has grown to more than 130 employees. Today, commerce accounts for half of Barstool’s revenue, roughly 35%-40% coming from advertising, and the rest draws from emerging business areas including the Rough N’ Rowdy pay-per-views and other live events, as well as a growing licensing business based on Barstool-owned intellectual property. Although controversial, Barstool Gold is a way to insulate the publisher from external sports media giants who find the content too reckless and provide a platform for Barstool to make itself into a major player in the sports entertainment industry

Esports speedrun marathon Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) 2019 raised over $2.39 million for charity. AGDQ is one of two speedrun marathons hosted by GamesDoneQuick every year that bring in thousands of viewers to watch all types of speedruns in the name of charity. This year the speedrun, which is completing part or all of a video as fast as possible, raised funds for the Prevent Cancer Foundation and more than 46,000 donations. To date, Awesome Games Done Quick and its companion event, Summer Games Done Quick, have raised more than $19 million for their respective charities while peak viewership of their most recent event reached 219,240 concurrent streams on Twitch. The next event by GDQ will be the Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) which runs June 23-30 in Bloomington, Minnesota. After the 131 games were speedrun, it is safe to say that both the viewership and donations from the world of esports continue to grow and GamesDoneQuick is at the forefront of the esport charity sector

Detroit Lions owner Martha Ford joins forces with her team’s players to pledge $600,000 to community efforts. According to the Detroit Free Press, Ford and Lions’ players pledged a combined $600,000 to help launch the new "Detroit Lions Inspire Change" initiative around the city. The money will help fund three causes chosen by players in a process that was set in motion after eight Lions players took a knee during the singing of the national anthem in a 2017 game against the Falcons. A'Shawn Robinson, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, and Steve Longa are the three players who remain with the team after protesting social injustices. Their donations will help fund scholarships for three groups including families who've lost service members through the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS); a youth development arm of the Detroit Police Department called the Detroit Youth Violence Prevention Initiative (DYVPI); and students at Detroit Lions Academy. Additionally the funds will be used to provide clean drinking water in Detroit public schools, help the CATCH charity for children, and aid Mariners Inn for homeless men. Under "Detroit Lions Inspire Change," players will be able to directly take action for social justice initiatives.

Upstream launches after long gestation period

https://ift.tt/2In9xw9

Upstream, an online platform for real estate data management, officially announced that it has launched today after a long waiting period, two years behind its original goal.

“You don’t have to look very far into any news feed to find a story of data breaches, unauthorized or misuse of data or entities gaining disproportionate gains on the sale of data,” said Dan Elsea, Upstream’s chairman in a statement.

“Our industry, of course, is based on data, so it is imperative that each broker and real estate practitioner be able to manage and control their data,” he added. “Upstream provides that opportunity for our industry, and it is wonderful to have our rollout underway.”

Upstream said in a release today that it launched with Regional Multiple Listing Service in Portland, Oregon, with brokers entering data into Upstream and feeding it into other systems, including RMLS, from there — a process called “direct input” that fulfills Upstream’s original aim to become the starting point for data — a role typically held by MLSs now.

Upstream also launched in an easier to implement form called “broker direct feed” in which the MLS is the starting point and feeds to Upstream. Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) and North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. (NTREIS) are the first markets to debut the broker direct feed.

Multiple listing services in California, Pennsylvania, Texas, Minnesota and Michigan are soon to follow, according to Upstream, with plans to expand by five or six each month. Upstream’s goal is to serve more than 250,000 agents by the end of 2018.

At press time, none of the multiple listing services involved responded to a request to confirm Upstream had launched.

Tips to Survive Your First Year in Real Estate

Like lots of people, I really did not examine real estate in college or have goals to become an agent right out of senior high school. I really ended up being associated with real estate through my previous guy. We relocated to Austin, Texas in 2004 to ensure that he might start job in the thriving technology field. I came to function in the growing production market while pursuing a composing occupation. My ex-spouse quickly landed a job functioning at the Keller Williams Realty headquarters. The work put him near to the market as well as numerous representatives. Considering that manufacturing job ups and downs, my ex-spouse suggested I check into getting a real estate certificate and do that part-time. The concept made a great deal of sense, and also we had recently gotten a house with each other so I figured if absolutely nothing else I could discover a lot about dealing methods for myself. I really want AceableAgent's pre-licensing real estate courses had been about back then. I had the ability to do some programs online, but also for the a lot of part I needed to go to courses at the Austin Board of Realtors (ABOR) headquarters. After a great deal of examining, I passed my real estate certificate test on the initial shot. I prepared to be a real estate representative! Or so I thought.

The Call That Started It All

When I obtained my license I selected Keller Williams as my broker for apparent factors. One thing I truly liked concerning the company was that it placed heavy focus on education. Each market facility supplied various training courses weekly and motivated new agents to take part. I took them up on that offer, focusing first on advertising and marketing and composing contracts. I additionally joined to function the marketplace center phone lines. At our KW office, agents could man the marketplace facility line in hopes that a purchaser or seller would certainly call the workplace straight seeking a real estate agent or more details on a property. You can enroll in hour-long blocks, which is fantastic source for brand-new agents that are starting out. The KW management team was extremely practical with us. It was recognized that calls hardly ever came through, as well as when they did it hardly ever caused an in-person conference. So, a few weeks into having my shiny new real estate certificate I settled right into my very first phone change with a couple of points to assist me pass the time. My practical mind had already chosen that the chances of my actually putting my real estate abilities to the examination that day were fairly low. Picture my shock when concerning half means right into the shift I got a call. It was a female wanting information on a townhouse. She had a college-aged little girl, as well as rather than renting, the lady wanted to acquire a house her child could live in and after that convert into a rental property. I quickly brought up the MLS listing and provided her with the info she asked for. Then, out of pure conditioning from months of training, I asked her if she would certainly such as to take an appearance at the residence. No joking, I had a minute where everything went empty after she addressed: "Yes, do you have time today?" Lengthy tale short, I satisfied the customer at the property about an hour later on. As we explored the property she was practically dead silent and also offered little perception of what she was believing. After a quick look, she issue of factly mentioned she wanted to place in an offer. Because my newly found customer had such an impressive poker face, I was a bit astonished. Hopefully, she didn't see the expression of shock on mine.

Negotiation Intimidation

Nobody ever informs you how nerve wracking the very first sale is mosting likely to be. To be straightforward, I was not anticipating to have a customer fall in my lap that day. Never ever in my wildest desires did I imagine that the initial time I worked the phones I would certainly get a call from a purchaser that prepared to pull the trigger. There I sat with a conventional agreement before me on the workdesk. Whoever thought a piece of paper could be so frightening? I had practiced filling up out the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) resale household contract numerous times before, and now it was for real. This had not been practice, it was a potentially binding lawful agreement for a $100,000+ property. It didn't help that my customer was restless to get something sent ASAP.

Those are the 2 languages they understand.

Wholesaling properties is of course primarily about off market deals; no one should be targeting a house on the MLS with the marketing resources.

There are some strategies that can target MLS but those are the exceptions.

Wholesaling properties is legal but out of the box investing strategy; not a job… you are an investor.

So essentially, you are not really in competition with an agent but you can easily look like a competition or worse; a scam artist.

It all depends on how you present to them..

In the case of the question below, the agent was an afterthought so I agree… it came off a little tricky.

But with these 4 best practises and rules of engagement, it wouldn’t matter if the agent came out of the whole, you would handle it like a G.

And potentially still bag a deal.

(1) Listen

One of the most common mistakes wholesalers make is talking too much when engaging an agent.

Once an agent is involved, you are now a full blown 100% buyer and you should ask questions and listen.

It will make them feel more special than they actually are.

(2) Let Go

If you approach them by trying to hug up on the control on the deal, you will lose the deal.

It makes you look desperate and that yellsss “RED FLAG.

And then you will end up having to explain yourself which puts you in the box of breaking the 1st rule of engagement.

Sure you are wholesaling properties, but as far as your sellers’ agent is concerned you are a buyer; a customer.

And the customer is always right.

(3) Pay Up

Not only should you entertain listening to the agent, offer to pay the agent's sales commissions.

There is no agent in their right mind who would not get on your team in that case especially if calling the agent was an afterthought for the seller.

(4) Pipeline

There is always a possibility that it won’t work out.

Therefore always keep your eyes on building your leads pipeline so that you can always maintain the energy that you have options. It’s easier to move on when you know that there are 100 million prospects out there for you.

Below is a question for us to address with this lesson...

“Question: Property under contract as a wholesale deal.

I am selling to a retail buyer and closing with transactional funding.

The problem is our buyer decided to hire an agent that went directly to our seller's agent to call my partner and I scams...

And trying to block the buyer from putting money into escrow with the title company.

It’s a huge mess.

I called her to clarify and the woman hangs up on me, yells that I’m a scam smh.

The contract has been submitted to the title company for at least 10 days. Have you had this nightmare with working with agents?

This agent could literally just verify by calling the title company.”

Selling Your House without a Realtor: Is it Possible?

Selling Your House without a Realtor: Is it Possible? So, you want to sell your home but don’t want to pay that high commission rate to a REALTOR . The question you should be asking yourself is: “can I sell my house  without an agent?” The answer is: YES. Just run a quick search online for FSBO (for sale by owner), and you will find hundreds of articles, listings, and information about this very process. In some cases, selling your house without a realtor can easier, faster and more profitable Just because you aren’t willing to dish out the fees, and look for an reputable agent to help you list your home, certainly doesn’t mean you can’t sell your house  on your own with a bit of research of your local market. 1. Do Your Research It is imperative that you know your market. Before listing without an agent, you should: – Be aware of current market trends (are prices going up or down)? – Know the comparatives in your area. – Read the contracts and paperwork which is involved. – Learn about the negotiations, closing, and everything involved in the sale. It is also a good idea to have an inspector set up, to run full inspections of the home, so you can present the potential buyers with this information . The more you know, the more informed you are, and the more information you gather prior to listing, the quicker you will sell, and for the highest profit possible. 2. Know The Listing Price Let’s look at a pricing example. Say you hire a realtor to list your home for $200,000. At 3% commission, they would make about $6000. But, you don’t want to pay this. What can you do? Change the asking price of course. If comparable homes in the area are selling for $198,000, you can still turn a profit by listing your home for $195,000. Instead of the $6000 your realtor would get, you are lowering the asking price by $5000; this means $1000 in your pocket. Of course this is a simple scenario, so you have to know comparable values, what local realtor fees are, and the current market, in order to determine the lowest asking price you can accept, to turn a profit. “It is possible to sell your house “as-is” on your own (FSBO) , and if you know the current market trends, make a profit on the sale.” 3. Staging Your home has to look good. Curb appeal is key; if they see old broken down furniture on the lawn and dead grass, they won’t even enter your open house. So, properly stage your home. Do research online, learn a few DIY projects, freshen up the paint, and make sure the interior of the home has a generic setting, rather than that personalized property full of family photos in it. If the home looks good, if it is updated and has few (to no) issues to fix, and if it is properly listed, you can believe it is going to sell, even if you don’t have it listed by an agent. 4. Negotiate The art of negotiations is critical in the sales process, especially if you are doing it on your own. Imagine yourself as the buyer; even if you love the home, you are going to look for a better deal. The same goes for us, but we are different than traditional buyers, cause our goal is not only to quickly buy your house as-is , but to find a solution for both parties, where everyone wins. So, keep an open mind, especially if the offers are close to your asking price. There is a buyer for your home, but you have to be willing to negotiate if you want to get the property sold. 5. Market If your home isn’t marketed online, if you don’t list it on MLS boards, or set up flyers and brochures, who will know it is up for sale? Sure, a “for sale” sign will elicit some attention, but the more people who know about the home, and the more appealing you make it seem, the easier it will be to get it sold , and to sell it in a short period of time for the highest value possible. An agent can facilitate your life, but they are costly. Further, some agents won’t do nearly as good a job as others, so it is a hit or miss market when trying to hire the best agent. A FSBO is a possibility in today’s market, especially if you are willing to do the work. You can sell your home without an agent, and receive the best possible offer, if you are willing to put the time and effort into the sales process.
