“Out of all the wealthy people I’ve known, only a few were  ‘great’ in every area that mattered.”    – Bruce Norris, The Norris Group

Good investors make good returns. But the great ones make a killing.

The good investor can turn a profit for a few quarters, maybe the year. But the great investor will cash in on the entire real estate cycle -- bear, bull, boom or bust. Is there a mechanism, a catalyst that transforms a good investor into a great one? What separates those who make it Big Time, breaking through to the next level of wealth and success, and those who plateau, stuck at a cross roads between being good or becoming great?

On December 8, veteran real estate investor Bruce Norris will examine The Seven Pieces of a Great Real Estate Investor.  Understanding and using just one of these qualities (Piece # 4 is critical) will turn your investment career from middle-of-the-road margins to a higher pay grade. But that won’t make you a great investor. The edge that great investors share is this: They use all the pieces,together!

To see tangible, permanent, gains to your bottom line, come listen to Bruce Norris and learn The Seven Pieces of a Great Real Estate Investor.

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. His latest report, Category 5, goes into great detail why Bruce isn’t ready to call California Comeback 2 and what the real estate community should expect in the coming two years as the market continues its correction.
