MARK GARRISON SALES LETTER Dear Group Members, Are you ready for the Fifth Migration? If you're not, then you will be missing out on the great real estate boom of the early 21st century. That's right. The best is yet to come. You only think you've seen appreciation. As America's population continues to grow, the demand for housing will continue to increase faster than the available supply. But the growth will not be equal all over the country. Certain areas will prosper, while others stagnate, or even decline. The key is opportunity, jobs, a chance for people to support families and have a comfortable lifestyle. Those areas which attract the employers of the future will attract workers who need housing. Investors who get into those areas beforehand will grow rich. America has gone through four great migrations so far and each one of them has created millionaires. Are you ready to be one of the Fifth Migration Millionaires? Then you will certainly want to be at our February meeting, Monday night, Feb. 3rd 2003, at 7:30 PM, to hear Marc Stephan Garrison and his wife Paula Tripp Garrison, tell you how people are doing it today, making millions following Marc and Paula's lead. With his best-selling books and his workshops around the country, Marc Stephan Garrison has been creating millionaires for years, starting with himself. Like me, Marc started with almost nothing and made his fortune in real estate. I did it in northern California, in the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe. Mark did it right here in Southern California and then just like me, he put himself through school to get an education, not to get a job. He received a bachelor's degree and an MBA from UCLA and is currently working on his doctorate in economics. His first real estate book, Financially Free, (Simon and Schuster, 1986) became a best seller and Marc has had 16 more books published since then. But, he has not lost his taste for hands-on real estate investing and when he speaks, he does not spout academic theories. He gives his listeners the benefit of years of hard work and hands-on, practical experience. Now his wife, Paula Tripp Garrison, has consented to join him and add her perspective for the benefit of our club members. Paula first learned about real estate investing at the age of 9, when her parents bought a single-family home and converted to a duplex, doing all the work themselves. She is a nationally known expert on rehabbing and profitably managing properties, especially as an absentee owner. Marc and Paula are a unique couple. Not only are they best-selling authors and millionaire investors, but they're also proud parents and grandparents, for whom real estate investing is just another family activity. Therefore, not only are they going to show you how to get rich in real estate, but how to integrate your real estate business into your family life and bring your family into your real estate business. One of the things that Marc and Paula love about real estate is that allows them to work together and to be together as a family and spend time with their children - the main priority in their busy lives - and make an extraordinary living for themselves and show thousands of others around the country how to do the same. Together, they head the National Association of Real Estate Investors, or NAREI, with more than 65,000 members. This is the largest group of individual hands-on income property owners in the United States and Canada. Not only does NAREI represent income property owners in Washington, it also hires economists and consultants to study housing and employment trends around the country and identify the best markets for income property investors for now and the future. Forget unproven theories. Marc and Paula will be speaking about hands-on experience and the challenges and rewards that experienced income property owners face. For those of you already own property, they will show you how to take it to the next level. Now that you own income property, do you know how to get the most out of it? This is what Marc and Paula will show you how to do. Do you want to learn how to buy income property for $15,000 to $20,000 a unit today and sell it for $60,000 to $100,000 a unit, five years from now? Marc and Paula have been doing this for years and so have their students. Using the resources of their National Association of Real Estate Investors, they seek out areas which have a reason to appreciate. They don't leave anything to chance. Marc has developed a unique set of economic models, based on his own experience and his knowledge of economics to predict the future path of job growth and population shifts as the country grows, but the economy and migration patterns change. Marc's theory is simple, get in while the area is still depressed and housing prices are cheap. Benefit from job growth and rising demand, then sell out when tdevelopers move in to meet that demand. The key to making this simple idea work, is to be able to predict which areas are about to turn around and experience job and population growth and why. Why put your money into areas which are stagnant in terms of population growth and employment possibilities? Go where the jobs are and you will always have stable tenants, willing and able to pay the rent. Go where the jobs will be in the future and you are almost guaranteed appreciation. Industry needs workers and workers need housing. None of this is random or accidental. Rising rents and rising resale values inevitably draw developers who build new housing to meet the demand. New development, inevitably drives down the rental and resale value of older properties. This is why the big profit is made by getting into an area and out again, before the new developments are completed. Once there is a lot of new housing available, it's too late. It's time to move on and find a new area, where prices in rents are still low, but will soon be going up. It doesn't take a crystal ball to predict where this will happen. It takes solid information and research. Marc and Paula are experts at doing this type of research and they will show our group members how and why they and their students have been so successful. The Fifth Migration is happening for a reason. Just like the first four migrations, it's a response to our changing economy and the changing demographics of our country and there's no one more qualified in the United States to talk about it to tell you how to benefit from it, then Marc Stephan Garrison and his wife Paula Tripp Garrison. Together they have trained more than 2,500 real estate investors and 700 of those investors are now certified millionaires. That is quite a track record, but Marc and Paula are nowhere near satisfied. They want to be able to say that they've created at least 1000 millionaires and you could be the next one, but only if you come to the meeting. Admission is still only $10. Here is just a sample of what you will learn: HOW TO PREDICT AND PREPARE FOR THE FIFTH MIGRATION HOW TO UNDERSTAND AND PROFIT FROM MARKET CYCLES HOW TO FIND "EXPANSION MARKETS" HOW TO AVOID "ABSORPTION", "EQUILIBRIUM" AND "DECLINE" MARKETS HOW TO PREDICT COMING PEAKS AMONG REGIONAL MARKETS HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT MARKETS (JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!) HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT PROPERTY (LOCATION! LOCATION!) WHEN TO IMPROVE AND WHEN NOT TO IMPROVE PROPERTY HOW TO DEAL WITH CONTRACTORS HOW TO MANAGE TENANTS PROFESSIONALLY HOW TO AVOID CODDLING TENANTS HOW AND WHY TO AVOID BULLYING TENANTS HOW TO BE A FAIR, BUT RESPECTED AND PROFITABLE LANDLORD HOW TO GET STARTUP MONEY - NO MATTER HOW LITTLE CASH YOU HAVE HOW TO MAKE MONEY - WHETHER THE ECONOMY IS UP OR DOWN HOW TO USE "GOLD MINE" ADS TO FIND THE RIGHT DEALS HOW TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AT EVERY CLOSING HOW TO SELL YOUR PROPERTIES FOR ALL CASH ON YOUR TERMS HOW TO SELL TO FOREIGN INVESTORS SEEKING US RESIDENCY HOW TO DO HANDS-FREE/LONG DISTANCE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND MUCH, MUCH MORE ……………………. Believe me, you don't want to miss this exciting meeting if you own, or plan to own income producing real estate. You need to hear self-made millionaires and millionaire-makers, Marc Stephan Garrison and his wife and partner, Paula Tripp Garrison, on Monday, February 3rd, 2003, at 7:30 PM, at the Sheraton Gateway hotel at Los Angeles International Airport, 6101 W. Century Boulevard, (310) 642-1111. It's time to kick the New Year into high gear and take your investing to the next level. I'll see you there, Monday night. I know you'll enjoy it. Albert J.
