It’s been a while since I posted to my City Scoop blog. I’ve been so busy with business endeavors that are complimenting or separate from real estate investing. Right now I am launching a small business advertising firm and it has taken me away from full time investing. It brings me to the topic of investing part time or full time.
When I talk to people about how I got started in real estate investing they often assume they don’t have time… The fact is that when I got started I was waiting tables 6 nights a week in the restaurant business. The people that find success in real estate often start part time while they work a full time job. The important thing is to get started somewhere. The key is to build a base, learn everything you can and create some contact and mentors. By no means do you need this to be a full time endeavor at first.
All of these are the reason why you should attend one of our free events. You will have an opportunity to meet others experienced and novice that want to help you succeed. You will also gain knowledge that will empower you to take action on those first deals. Finally we can show hundreds of resources to create capital for your projects. One of the biggest misconceptions is having the money to get started. Right now I can introduce you to over 300 non traditional lenders that want to lend you money for your real estate deals!

This is a great video to spend a minute on especially if you are feeling frustrated or discouraged with whatever you are working on. So many ask me how I got where I am and tell me I’m lucky to have found success. Anyone that has ever seen any success knows that it is not luck but consistent practice and persistence over time. You must fail! Sometimes countless times before you ever really start seeing rewards. The key is staying in the game long enough to start seeing those rewards. Don’t quit three feet away from gold.
If you’ve never failed then you will never ever see success! However in Real Estate a mistake can sometimes cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Avoid making mistakes in your Foreclosure and REO Investing. Learn from pros that have done it right!

BOB SNYDER TO HOST 3 INCREDIBLE EVENTS…Six Ways to Market Any Business | Bay Area Real Estate Seminars
May 20, 2009
If you are in business you are in the business of marketing! No matter what your product or service is you must have an effective scalable marketing plan. There is no blue print to a marketing plan but many say that in order to increase your efficiency in business you should have at least seven different sources that consistently provide your business with traffic, leads and ultimately sales. You MUST also have a great retention plan to stay in touch with clients and business partners. I would like to share several sources that have proven to me over time to be very valuable in creating leads and keeping them in your pipeline.
- Face to Face Networking - Many avoid this but it is by far the best way to grow just about any business. Great organizations like BNI and your local Chamber of Commerce will get you in front of people that can turn into business partners.
- Fancy Fliers - there are several creative sources like Crazy Millions that provide unique fliers that people hold on to. We average a 3% to 5% call return from this source.
- Online Lead Sources - Can’t find enough leads? You can buy them online cheap. Sources like Reference USA are free and Info USA is very affordable. Depending on what you are selling, it is likely you can find leads online.
- Online Social Networking - Any business owner that is not turning leads from Facebook, LinkedIN and other networking sites are completely missing the boat. Make friends and make an appointment!
- Making the Calls! - This is the part that many business owners dread. You can create a Phone Zone group or use a service like CitaLink that will have you making 100 calls in an hours time!
- Staying in Touch -with clients and customers that are just not ready to buy or partner with you is crucial. Sites like www.TXTBlaster.com and AWeber are inexpensive and great for staying in touch.
Stay tuned for elaboration on each one of these sources and how you can use them!

Three Simple Steps to Change Financial Directions
April 14, 2009
It’s become obvious that the financial worries in this country and in the world are infectious and spreads like wildfire. In times like today it is very important that we have plans in place to make sure you don’t become a victim of this current so called financial crisis. I talk to hundreds of people each week, and one of the my favorite questions to ask people are "How is today’s economy affecting your day to day life?" Almost everyone says things are horrible. The biggest problem is that very few take personal responsibility and take the action steps required to make things better for themselves.
- Forget about TV and the mainstream news! Read a motivating book instead and fill your mind with something positive.
- Learn something new everyday! Make a point to do SOMETHING to improve on your current skills or learn a new one. Do you know about financial literacy and investing? Are you well versed in Stock Options and Real Estate Opportunities that are available to anyone in today’s market?
- Evaluate your activities every day! Without evaluation you will never learn what NOT to do. At the end of every day ask yourself. What did I learn today? What did I do today to make my situation better? Questions like these will lead you to the answers that open doors and opportunities.
The fact is that in time like this it is easy to get caught up and let life happen to you! It all starts with how you think and what you do.

Overcoming Procrastination is the First Key to Succeeding
March 21, 2009
Beating Procrastination
Are you a Chronic Procrastinator? Chances are that procrastination is the main barrier keeping you from reaching your goals. This article from www.MindTools.com is a great blueprint to stop this chronic behavior and start taking actions toward the goals that you deserve to reach!
If you’ve found yourself putting off important tasks over and over again, you’re not alone. In fact, many people procrastinate to some degree - but some are so chronically affected by procrastination that it stops them achieving things they’re capable of and disrupts their careers.
The key to controlling and ultimately combating this destructive habit is to recognize when you start procrastinating, understand why it happens (even to the best of us), and take active steps to better manage your time and outcomes.
Why do we Procrastinate?
In a nutshell, you procrastinate when you put off things that you should be focusing on right now, usually in favor of doing something that is more enjoyable or that you’re more comfortable doing.
Procrastinators work as many hours in the day as other people (and often work longer hours) but they invest their time in the wrong tasks. Sometimes this is simply because they don’t understand the difference between urgent tasks and important tasks, and jump straight into getting on with urgent tasks that aren’t actually important.
They may feel that they’re doing the right thing by reacting fast. Or they may not even think about their approach and simply be driven by the person whose demands are loudest. Either way, by doing this, they have little or no time left for the important tasks, despite the unpleasant outcomes this may bring about.
Another common cause of procrastination is feeling overwhelmed by the task. You may not know where to begin. Or you may doubt that you have the skills or resources you think you need. So you seek comfort in doing tasks you know you’re capable of completing. Unfortunately, the big task isn’t going to go away – truly important tasks rarely do.
Other causes of procrastination include:
- Waiting for the “right” mood or the “right” time to tackle the important task at hand
- A fear of failure or success
- Underdeveloped decision making skills
- Poor organizational skills
- Perfectionism ("I don’t have the right skills or resources to do this perfectly now, so I won’t do it at all.")
How to Overcome Procrastination:
Whatever the reason behind procrastination, it must be recognized, dealt with and controlled before you miss opportunities or your career is derailed.
Step 1: Recognize that you’re Procrastinating
If you’re honest with yourself, you probably know when you’re procrastinating.
But to be sure, you first need to make sure you know your priorities. Putting off an unimportant task isn’t procrastination, it’s probably good prioritization. Use the Action Priority Matrix to identify your priorities, and then work from a Prioritized To Do List on a daily basis.
Some useful indicators which will help you pull yourself up as soon as you start procrastinating include:
- Filling your day with low priority tasks from your To Do List;
- Reading an e-mail or request that you’ve noted in your notebook or on your To Do List more than once, without starting work on it or deciding when you’re going to start work on it;
- Sitting down to start a high-priority task, and almost immediately going off to make a cup of coffee or check your e-mails;
- Leaving an item on your To Do list for a long time, even though you know it’s important;
- Regularly saying "Yes" to unimportant tasks that others ask you to do, and filling your time with these instead of getting on with the important tasks already on your list.
Step 2: Work out WHY You’re Procrastinating
Why you procrastinate can depend on both you and the task. But it’s important to understand what the reasons for procrastination are for each situation, so that you can select the best approach for overcoming your reluctance to get going.
Common causes of procrastination were discussed in detail above, but they can often be reduced to two main reasons:
- You find the task unpleasant; or
- You find the task overwhelming
Step 3: Get over it!
If you are putting something off because you just don’t want to do it, and you really can’t delegate the work to someone else, you need to find ways of motivating yourself to get moving. The following approaches can be helpful here:
-
Make up your own rewards. For example, promise yourself a piece of tasty flapjack at lunchtime if you’ve completed a certain task.
-
Ask someone else to check up on you. Peer pressure works! This is the principle behind slimming and other self-help groups, and it is widely recognized as a highly effective approach.
-
Identify the unpleasant consequences of NOT doing the task.
-
Work out the cost of your time to your employer. As your employers are paying you to do the things that they think are important, you’re not delivering value for money if you’re not doing those things. Shame yourself into getting going!
If you’re putting off starting a project because you find it overwhelming, you need to take a different approach. Here are some tips:
-
Break the project into a set of smaller, more manageable tasks. You may find it helpful to create an action plan.
-
Start with some quick, small tasks if you can, even if these aren’t the logical first actions. You’ll feel that you’re achieving things, and so perhaps the whole project won’t be so overwhelming after all.
Key points:
To have a good chance of conquering procrastination, you need to spot straight away that you’re doing it. Then, you need to identify why you’re procrastinating and taken appropriate steps to overcome the block.
Part of the solution is to develop good time management, organizational and personal effectiveness habits, such as those described in Make Time for Success! This helps you establish the right priorities, and manage your time in such a way that you make the most of the opportunities open to you.
