Adam Sachs - My Story My name is Adam Sachs and I would like to share my
success story with you. In 1987, when I first moved to Orlando, Florida, I was
making only $450 per week in a “going-nowhere” position at a local
credit bureau. Today, I run an investment group and earn over $2,000,000 income
per year. You can too! In addition to this accomplishment, I am a national
speaker who has trained over 25,000 people how to turn a
profit in Real Estate. My philosophy is to help other people get what they want
and you will get what you want. It's not all about taking, it's about giving. I
urge you to give at least 10% of everything you make to your church, temple,
charity, etc.
Because I started with nothing – money or
experience – I know how important it is to just take that first step
toward changing your life. I’m positive I can guide you toward the same
success I enjoy today!
When I first moved to Orlando from Cleveland,
Ohio, I was 23 years old. I had $500 in my pocket and lived in a tiny, rented,
garage apartment I shared with my mother. Our rent was $325 a month. I was
happy living in the warm Florida sun even if I was existing
paycheck-to-paycheck. And before I knew it, a year had passed by and I was
still working for $450 a week in that dead-end job. There always seemed to be
more month at the end of the money, than money at the end of the month.
Late one night while flipping through the channels, I stopped on a
channel showing an infomercial that was advertising an invitation to attend a
free, no-money down, real estate conference. I thought about where I was with
my life and decided to pick up the phone and make the reservation. I knew that
at some point, someone was going to try to sell me something, but honestly my
curiosity got the best of me. When I think back to that late night of channel
surfing, I have to wonder if there was some kind of spiritual intervention that
compelled me to pick up that phone.
At the conference, I listened
intently to what the speaker had to say about turning a profit in real estate. As expected, there were many rags-to-riches stories. A lot of these people
started off with little or no money – well, at least I was qualified -
and were now rolling in cash. I was really starting to get excited about this
and then came the expected sales pitch. In order to learn how to do this for
myself, I would have to pay $1500 to attend the training. I didn’t have
that kind of money so I went home disappointed.
Before I knew it, a
year had gone by. I couldn’t get that conference out of my head. I still
lived in my tiny apartment. I still had my job at the credit bureau. And I was
still living paycheck-to-paycheck. What I still didn’t have was the money
to attend this training.
One night, I had trouble sleeping. The more
I tossed and turned the angrier I became at myself for making excuse after
excuse for still being broke, still having no money to invest, no time, a huge
fear of failure and a fear of losing what little I had. You name it and I was
living it. I saw other people driving nice cars, taking sweet vacations, living
in beautiful homes and most-of-all helping other people financially. And I was
still living, you guessed it, paycheck-to-paycheck.
You can
make money or you can make excuses, but you can’t make both.
Finally I had a thought. You can make money or you can make excuses,
but you can’t make both. I needed to get into the game. Now on a mailing
list, I remembered that I had just been invited to attend another free" real estate conference. I called the number right then and there and made that
reservation. I was determined to take action and make my mark in real estate. I
wanted to buy my first home. Excited about seeing my future clearly, I set a
goal of owning 50 houses within 3 years and earning $1 Million a year by
the time I was 35. I put it in writing. Now, it was a real goal.
I
used my credit card to pay the $1500 to go to what was only the first of many
real estate “boot camps” I attended. I had a goal now. At the end
of this first conference I was hooked. I now knew just enough to be dangerous
and knew I needed to learn more. So, I took a major plunge and signed up for a
$15,000 mentoring program. To pay for this, I sold my car, maxed out my credit
cards and even borrowed money from my boss at the credit bureau. Everyone told
me I was crazy to have fallen for a scheme from an infomercial. I admit that at
one point, shortly after letting go of everything I owned (and borrowed) I had
few moments where I was really scared. What was I doing? I was now $15,000 in
debt, still living in a garage apartment and still making $450 a week. Were my
friend’s right? Was I crazy to really believe in this stuff?
I truly believed that you are either living or dying
financially.
But what it came down to was that I really did
believe that there were more millionaires made through real estate then by any
other means. I also believed that if I could learn how to help other people get
what they wanted, I could get what I wanted too because, having lived this
difficult existence, maybe I could eventually help someone else get out of the
their financial rut. Lastly, I truly believed that you are either living or
dying financially. Then I had a moment of clarity. No, I wasn’t crazy, I
had chosen to live. Are you thinking about what you would choose?
After going through the mentoring program, I did exactly what I was mentored
to do. I made Offers - lots of Offers. In fact, I made 76 no-money-down
creative offers, just like I was taught, over a period of two and a half
months. All 76 of the Offers where turned down. That is a lot of rejection. I
like to think that it really demonstrates my persistence to succeed. I knew I
could do this.
Finally, lucky number 77 was accepted! Offer number
77 was made on a two-family home (zoned as a single family) located just
outside of Orlando. I got into it for no money down, no credit check and no
closing costs. Here is the best part, it now cost me only $32 a month to live
in my new home. I still own that home. It's paid for and I collect $1450 a
month each and every month in rental income. I give that money away to a loved
one each and every month. Imagine having 10 properties that are paid for with
an income of $1450/mo. That's $14,500/mo! Think about how this would help you
and your family!
I became consumed with real estate, I started going
to every seminar I could. I heard everyone from Robert Allen to Anthony Robbins
to Zig Ziglar. I was consumed with learning everything I could about real
estate. To date, I have invested over $250,000 of my own money attending these
seminars.
This success has allowed me to set up trust
accounts for both of my parents so they never have to work another day in their
lives.
Within three years I had purchased 45 properties
(just short of my goal of 50) and was finally well on my way to reach my
ultimate goal – financial freedom! Today I have a beautiful condo,
overlooking the ocean, on the inner coastal in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. I
have a rockin’ home in Las Vegas along with other acreage in Nevada. I
also own property in the mountains of North Carolina, land in Cabo Mexico, and
several house s in Phoenix. This success has allowed me to set up trust
accounts for both of my parents so they never have to work another day in their
lives. You know, my daddy now says to me that I have a golden horse shoe in my
behind. He said "everything you touch turns to gold." I believe that
luck comes to those that seek it, do you believe?
With all my
success, I still had another goal to meet. I wanted to help other people find
success too. One day about 10 years ago, my phone rang. It was my mentor from
the first mento
ring seminar I attended way back when I was 24. He asked me if I would b e
interested in going on the road with him as his assistant. I jumped at the
chance. Public speaking is one of the highest paid professions in the world! I
traveled coast-to-coast with my mentor. I listened and absorbed even more
knowledge as he spoke to large groups of investors about helping them get into
the game like he had helped me so many years before.
Now it was my
turn. I was being given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I would be speaking
in front of a large group of investors, each of whom had paid $3000 for three
days of instruction - live in Chicago. If these investors were satisfied with
what I had to tell them, I would be able to go on the road as a full time
instructor.
I started off my seminar with the following
statement:
"You are all multi-millionaires whose funds
have yet to be deposited into your banking account. I am a multi-millionaire. Prior to becoming one I had to think like one. I am going to teach you how to
think like one! Do what I tell you to do, and you will get what you
want!"
To date, I have trained over 25,000 students. Many of them have become extremely wealthy through my teachings.
I was extremely well received. Sales for future classes exceeded even
my mentor’s expectations. I began going from city to city, 300 days a
year, teaching people how to invest in real estate. To date, I have trained
over 25,000 students. Many of them have become extremely wealthy through my
teachings.
After all these speaking engagements, do you know what
still amazes me the most about speaking to a group of investors? That someone
and it could be anyone, will take what I teach them about real estate, do
exactly what I have taught them and in three to five years become extremely
wealthy. Is this you, are you the next one?
Even though I have so
many speaking engagements, I continue to invest in real estate. I own a very
successful real estate company with my business partner, Ryan Harris. Our
office is based in Phoenix and has closed over $165 Million in real estate
transactions all over the country last year and over $200 Million thus far
(October 2006) all to investors like you! Those investors made millions of
dollars and I really believe that you can too!
In 2003, we sold
hundreds of our client’s properties in Las Vegas. Those who followed my
Golden Horse shoe made huge profits as Las Vegas was the fastest appreciating
market in the U S. Then as Vegas peaked, we had our clients investing in
Phoenix. Did you know that Phoenix was the highest appreciating city in the US
for 2005 according to the department of Federal Housing and oversight? Now we
are investing in Western North Carolina, Tennessee and a few other select
markets. We are very intuitive investors.
We will present
you with amazing opportunities and then you will decide if you want to get into
our game.
In fact, I believe that everything happens for a
reason. You may have already met one of my team members at a recent real estate
convention. You may have shaken their hand and even given them your email
address. Now, with your permission, I am going to take you by the hand and
guide you to the financial place that you want to be. I and the members of my
team will never force you to do or buy anything you don't want to do. You will
do it, because you want to do it. We will present you with amazing
opportunities and then you will decide if you want to get into our game.
We will help you overcome the fear. I’ve been there and I know
how it feels. The choice is really yours. I love to help other people get what
they want. The old adage is true; it's always better to give than receive and
watching someone go from financial instability to financial freedom is so
rewarding to me. I find this part of my career to be incredibly rewarding.
You know, by the time the word gets
o ut that a market is the “fastest growing market,” it's too late. I can teach people how to get out of their investments. I have known many
people who sat on investments because the market had gone soft. They wish they
had the insight to have gotten out when the market when it was hot. I also
teach my clients how to do purchase real estate with little or none of their
own money (just as I did) and in many of these deals there are NO PAYEMENTS for
two+ years!
I have been to every major city in the United States. Yesterday's hot markets are lukewarm, at best, today. I screen 20-30 deals a
week and only one or two of those deals make it through my expert scrutiny. More importantly, when reviewing a real estate deal, I ask myself three
questions.
1. Is this a good deal for the investor?
2. Would
this be a good deal for me? (I personally buy into many of these
investments)
3. Would I sell this deal to my mother?
If I can not answer "YES" to all three of these questions,
then I simply will not sell it. I will not risk my client’s capital just
to make a commission. I have earned the respect my clients by caring just as
much about their money as I do my own. I want my clients to be around for a
very, very, long time.
Today, I earn in excess of $100,000 a month. I really believe that I can teach you how to reach this goal and beyond. You
are either living or dying financially. With my program you are going to make
more money, more money and more money!
Would you like to learn how? JUST ASK ME.
To your success,
-- Adam Sachs
