Seven Profit Centers for 2012 and Beyond

Bruce Norris

This is an unusual year. We have tons of delinquent borrowers, and — simultaneously — a shortage of inventory. We have a 4% mortgage rate, yet lots of would-be owners no longer qualify. A recent survey showed that people think this is the worst time to sell a house … ever! When you see a property for sale, you can bet there’s a motivated owner on the other side of the negotiating table. In short, it's a great time to be an investor. At this meeting, you'll learn seven different ways an investor can profit in this market. And none of the methods count on price increases to create our margin. Rather, we’ll create the margin from the start using smart timing and the ability to locate the most motivated sellers.

Renowned for his ability to forecast long-term real estate market trends and timing, the release of The California Comeback report in 1997 gained him much notoriety and its accuracy of the extensive report led many California investors to financial freedom. His January 2006 release, The California Crash, was an in-depth look into the California market correction and the statistics behind Bruce’s predictions. In his latest 2010 report, Tip of the Iceberg, Bruce dissects government intervention and how it affects real estate professionals, potential dangers of current market manipulation, investment strategies by market price range, and micro insights into some of California most important markets.
