So you want to be your own boss? Work from home. Pick your hours. Decide what to do and what not to do. What to wear -- what not to wear. You get to choose from SO many options -- things you never really gave much thought to before. If you worked at a J.O.B., you probably had some kind of set routine. You'd get up, get showered, get some breakfast, maybe pack a lunch. What your wore was pretty much dictated by what kind of work you did. You were expected to be at your duty station at a certain time, do certain things, accomplish stuff. Then, when your day was done, you'd leave your place of employment -- and all that went with it-- come home and do whatever you do at home.
Well, that's about to all change. Being a property scout is a very cool assignment no doubt. The best part about it is the flexibility you have to do what you want, when you want to do it. However, you still need to get real work done sometime during the day. You still need to find the properties, gather the information, sort, sift, compare, analyze, talk to brokers, hunt, hunt, hunt. Gather, gather, gather. Its a great living -- but it doesn't do it itself!
When I first started in this business, I had been working for myself for quite awhile, and I had gotten in to a routine that assured I got my work done. I made headway each day -- well, most days. But when I started doing the Property Scouting work, I found that I wasn't as disciplined as I needed to be. I'd play more than I worked, and even though I was submitting properties, I wasn't submitting as many as I needed and they weren't as high a quality as needed to attract the eye of the investors.
I almost lost sight of the fact, that by not doing this work, and by not focusing on the highest quality, I hurt one person. ME! So, I decided I would commit a set amount of time each week to hunt, to gather, to analyze. At first I said OK -- 10 hours per week. I can do this. And I did -- all on Saturday afternoon -- rushing to get it done -- by the end of the day, I'd lost focus. I had to work hard to find the right routine -- the right ritual, if you will to be successful.
The ritual that worked best for me was to get out of bed before anyone else, get some coffee and spend an hour planning my day. I checked the internet for new properties, or properties I'd seen before that I wanted to follow up on. By the time the rest of the household got started, I knew exactly how I was going to spend two other hours during the day. For me those two fit in right after lunch. I had another business at the time, and needed to focus on that during the normal business hours in the morning. By the end of the day, I'd made great headway -- at Property Scouting and at my "real" work.
Now my real work is all about Property Scouting and my ritual still consists of getting out of bed, getting my coffee and getting to work. I work for an hour before anyone else gets up. I've got my plan, I still work it. I get much done! I rarely spend 10 hours a week doing this -- don't really need to. Now I just want to.
Get a ritual. Follow it. Make money! Cool!

Property Tip #1 - Kiddie Condos
I've talked to a lot of property scouts lately, and I'm often asked what to look for. If you are trying to find cool properties, I just stumbled across a great opportunity that has READY CASH written all over it. Its the Kiddie Condo Craze and deals with finding apartment buildings or hotels, in college towns that can be quickly converted and sold as condos to parents of college bound students.
Its an amazing opportunity for several reasons. First, within the next 10 years there will be an incredible 80 million young people turning 18! Pretty hard to imagine isn't it! The "echo-boomers" are coming on strong. One thing we know about many of these kids is that they'll be college bound.
Second, many colleges -- especially state supported schools, will not have the funds needed to add dorm rooms to campuses, and the schools are increasingly relying on private investors to build or convert existing facilities to condos.
Third, the FHA has a program whereby, mom and dad can buy the condo and the student's name will also be on the loan -- qualifiying for owner-occupied rates. The student can rent out rooms to roommates, potentially getting enough money to cover the mortgage. Because the condo is owner occupied, the thought is (theoretically of course) that the homeowner will take better care of it than a normal rentor would. Personally, I'm not sure that's the case -- have you ever SEEN a dorm room or condo populated with college kids? My GOSH!! The health department won't even go in! But it sounds good!
Anyway, when the student graduates a couple of things happen. They will sell the condo with appreciation -- maybe enough to pay for grad school, or to put as down payment on a home, or to pay off student loans. AND the student will have his or her very own credit rating. Because their names were on the loan, along with mom and dad, the student's credit history has been established all along. Assuming the payment history has been good, the student starts out life on the right foot!
If you're looking for this kind of opportunity, stick to the states in the south -- Arizona, California, Texas, New Mexico, the Carolinas, and Florida. That's where MOST students will end up and there are many schools in those states with high housing shortages right now. The ratio of on campus housing available should be less than 25% -- meaning, the college can only house 25% of students in campus housing. That's a lot of students needing off campus living arrangements.
The best properties are close enough to be with in walking distance of campus, but if that's not possible, they need to be close to public transportation. They should also have the ability to bave amenities like internet access, work-out facilities, a pool, a party room and the like. Students especially like a high ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms... the good old days of sharing the bathroom with 30 of your closest friends are long gone. Thank goodness!
If you can find properties like I've just described, you are well on your way to making millions. If you're not already a property scout, go to www.propertyscoutcash.com to sign up now. Good luck.
Happy Hunting!

Secret Search Tip #2 - Build Relationships
I've been at this business a while now, and like any good Property Scout, I've learned a few things about where to find properties. In fact, not only WHERE to find them, but HOW to find them, and WHO can find them.
Early in my career, I'd found a couple of properties on loopnet listed by the same broker that looked interesting. After doing my initial homework on the area, checking information on demographics, and market growth, I called the broker and inquired about the properties. In this case, the properties were not even in my state, much less within easy driving distance. But the broker and I hit it off. I was honest about what I was doing, and was super sensitive about not wasting his time. Having the great property information sheets I got from the NACREPS.org website really helped me to get down to business quickly and efficiently.
Within a very short time-frame, I'd gathered enough information to know the first property was not going to fit the criteria the NACREPS investors are looking for, but the second property had real promise.
I spent a bit more time on the second property and called several players in the area so I could check my assumptions. When I called the broker back, he was impressed with the initiative I'd shown and was glad to offer me his opinion on the property. Basically, it suported what I'd already found out. I quickly submitted the property to the NACREPS.org website where it went in for prescreening. I'd told my broker about the process and that it does take a little time to work through the system.
Even before I heard back on the property I'd just submitted, the broker called me to see if I might be interested in another opportunity he'd just learned about. He knew what the criteria was that I was looking for and he had a property that had not been listed. One thing led to another, and it was a PERFECT match. In fact, it turned out to be my biggest payday so far. That broker and I have remained in contact and he often calls me with listings that fit our criteria.
I'm convinced that building relationships with your brokers are one of the greatest ways to find property ever. Build relationships by being respectful of their time. When you call and ask for information, know what you need. Learn the lingo. Do whatever leg-work you can do on your own. They'll appreciate helping you when they see you're serious to do some of your own work. Treat them as trusted partners -- they are part of your team. Be friendly and courteous. Do what you say you're going to do. Communicate well.
As you get more experienced, you'll find the best tips come from people you've built relationships with. Nurture them. Treat them kindly. You'll be glad you did.
Happy Hunting!

Time Management Tip #1 - If no, don't go!
Property Scouting, like many home-based businesses requires you to manage your own activities. For some, that's an easy task. But for many of us, especially if you haven't been operating a home-based business -- its much more difficult. For me, there are almost MORE distractions at home, than there were at my office job. There is always something that needs to be done at home, and while I think it's perfectly acceptable to throw in a load of laundry or mow the lawn when you need to, you will not get wealthy unless you have discipline.
Searching for Commercial Real Estate online, requires time. It requires you to weed through many posts, it requires that you follow links to investigate property information. Following links to following links to following links, and first thing you know you're looking at a website for vacation rentals in the city of your choice. Oh my gosh! How long have you been off - target?! I used to work 20 to 25 hours a week searching for properties. But I found myself getting off track -- often. I'd end up browsing in the truest sense of the word. Wandering aimlessly. Not with a purpose. I ended up on some AMAZING sites -- none of which had anything to do with finding Commercial Real Estate!
I was proud of myself for setting aside specific blocks of time to work the Property Scout business. For me, it was early morning. I'd set aside 4 to 5 hours each day with the goal of finding three or four deals that I could actively research. And in my defense, I'd spend my allotted time at the computer. But, I can honestly say, I spent about equal time researching properties as I spent following links to links to links .... only to end up WAY off base.
I began to notice how much time I spent following "interesting" links that did not directly contribute to my goal of finding three to four deals I could work on. It was astonishing! Frankly, I was disappointed in my discipline. Here's what I ended up doing. BEFORE I followed ANY link, I would ask myself -- will following this link right now help me to achieve my goal? Will it help me get rich? Will it help me further my career as a Property Scout, searching out Commercial Real Estate for my investors? Will it put money in my pocket? Is it essential for me to follow this link right now? And MANY times, the answer was no. If the answer is NO, DON'T GO! If no, don't go -- became my mantra.
So, what do you need to succeed? You need to set yourself a compelling goal. Not just any goal -- a meaningful goal. Then you need to measure everything you do to determine if your actions support your goal, or not. If they don't support your goal, make a conscious decision about continuing with those actions, or not. Be honest with yourself. If you want to continue doing what you're doing -- things that don't support your goal -- fine. Be honest. Don't blame the process then if it doesn't work. Put the blame where it belongs! Success in the Property Scout business -- just like ANY business, depends on you.

Mistake Tip #1 - Don't fall in love!
One of the things I wished I’d learned earlier in this business is not to fall in love. Perhaps I should explain. Of course love is a wonderful thing -- just NOT when it comes to Commercial Real Estate properties. As an early Property Scout, I remember the excitement of finding my first couple of properties. I was ABSOLUTELY, without a shadow of a doubt, fully, positively convinced that I had found the DEAL of the CENTURY! I spent hours convincing myself, ever more completely, that this was IT! I had FINALLY found the vehicle to launch myself into magnificent wealth. I gathered details. I talked to brokers. I talked to city planners. I talked to neighbors. I talked to politicians. Each step along the way, convincing myself. Falling in love.
Once I had labored the labor of love, I carefully, excitedly entered my project into the NACREPS (National Association of Commercial Real Estate Property Scouts) website. And waited. I waited for notification from the pre-screening crew that, indeed, this was the most awesome property ever! Waited. Waited. There was no need for me to continue looking for other properties for sale. What was the use? I had found the EXACTLY PERFECT property. Waited. Waited.
I was so excited when I received my notification! I opened it up to find that the property was not among the chosen! What?!! How could that be? It was perfect! There must be some mistake. I pleaded for review. The great support team at NACREPS patiently walked me through what were some sticking points on my property submissions. I gradually learned what they were searching for. After all, it really wasn’t about what “I” thought. It was more about what the investors were looking for. There are certain criteria that make Commercial Real Estate Investing less risky. More profitable. If the property submitted, doesn’t match the criteria, it just won’t be advanced to the investors.
So here’s what I learned. Don’t fall in love with a property. Quickly do the simple calculations that you learn in the Property Scout training manual. If the property fails those simple tests – just move on. And QUICKLY! Do not linger over lost opportunity – lost love. Move it! Ditch the project! Get going on something else. Then, another tip here, submit, submit, submit. Don’t think just one project will do it. More about that later.
The moral of the story: fall in love with your family and friends and life and freedom and health and happiness. Do not fall in love with your property. Just remember, in this business the once-in-a-life-time opportunity comes along every week or so! NEXT!
To your MOST INCREDIBLE SUCCESS!

Secret Search Tip #1 - Secret Internet tips
When people ask me where I've found all the great deals I've been involved with, I've tended to be somewhat "careful" with my answers. Yes, I have found some interesting opportunities on Loopnet and Costar. In fact, those are great sites with hundreds of prime Commercial Real Estate for sale. Our friends at NACREPS (National Association of Commercial Real Estate Property Scouts) are avid fans of the popular CRE sites. They also recommend other great sites in the outstanding training provided to all incoming Property Scouts. But, here's what I've found -- there are "specialized" free sites online if you're willing to do a little leg work. Specialized, a bit more "private", if you will, and somehow more friendly.
You may be thinking, "Maggie, what are you talking about? Friendly? What's not friendly about Loopnet?" And don't get me wrong, like I said, I like the big players. But to me, it's like the difference between going to a "chain-type" restaurant versus going to a funky, mom and pop, one-location-only restaurant. When you go with a chain, you know exactly what you're going to get. The french fries in Denver taste the same way as the french fries in Tallahassee. But you go into a "hole-in-the wall" diner, and you don't know what you'll get. The french fries could be crispy, or thick, or curly, or waffle style. The point is -- you don't know! And its an adventure!
Now you're probably saying, "So, Maggie -- can you please get to the point?!" The point is, I like to go off the beaten path when I search for my commercial properties. Lately, I've had great luck with Mobile Home Parks. It is absolutely amazing how much money there is in those parks! The way I've found them -- and many of them I might add -- is by searching on blogs. If you're reading my blog, you probably know how to search blogs, but some might have landed here by accident. So, I'll walk you through my process. I go to Google's search page, and across the top of the page are Web, Images, News, Shopping, G-mail, more. Go to the "more" pull down menu and select Blogs. Then search for the keywords of the Commercial Property type you're interested in. It could be Mobile Home Parks, or Apartment Buildings, or Storage Units, etc. What comes up in the search engines are the little mom and pop sites with absolute gems of properties for sale.
The reason you use blogs as your filter, is because if you use WEB as your filter, the first five or ten pages are all the "Big Guys" in the CRE business. The smaller advertisers get lost in the mix. By using the Blog filter, you can get more boutique style listers and some very lucrative opportunities. This takes a bit more time, but for me it has been worth every minute.
Some people like to go to huge big box stores where they buy the same stuff everybody else is buying; some people like to go to the out-of-the-way places where they find the unique one-of-a-kind treasures. Guess where I go!
By the way, if you're ready to be a property scout, check out their offer at http://www.propertyscoutcash.com/ it's very cool. If you want to be part of the coolest association for Property Scouts, check out http://www.nacreps.org/. I'll have more search tips for you another time, but for now -- happy hunting.

Getting Started
The very first thing you must do when getting started is to make the decision to start. I know. You might say, "Ah Maggie -- duh! Of course I've got to decide to start, anyone knows that!" But even more than just starting, you've got to make the decision to be successful. For it is not good enough to start to be a Property Scout. Anyone can start. You must make the decision to BE a Property Scout. To BE a successful Property Scout. To BE a committed, dedicated Property Scout -- who won't quit.
See. That's the most important thing in getting started -- the decision to really embrace all aspects of the decision. Decisions or the lack of them are responsible for the breaking or making of many a career. Individuals who have become very proficient at making decisions, without being influenced by the opinions of others, are the same people whose annual incomes fall into
the six and seven figure category. However, it’s not just your income that is affected by decisions; your whole life is dominated by this power...but that can be a topic for a different discussion. Suffice it to say, you must really DECIDE this is for you. Property Scouting is not a get rich QUICK program. It's takes work and dedication on your part. And if you DECIDE to be a Property Scout, you will be most successful if you have the stick-to-it-ivness -- to ride out the time it takes for the big payoffs.
Your decision to become a Property Scout must come from way down deep inside. Sometimes family and friends will question your thinking, but be strong. This is a great way to create lasting wealth for your future. Decide to stay with it. Decide to work it. Decide to learn the process and participate in the live training calls and take advantage of everything offerred at http://www.nacreps.com/ They've got great training, and great support staff.
I can tell you, for me...there were times I thought gee--- this is taking soooo long. But then, WOW! I am SO GLAD I made the decision to stay the course.
You will be too. First step -- Decide. Decide to become a Property Scout. Decide to spend a few hours every week finding properties. In my next tip, I'll walk you through some of my secrets for finding properties and I don't mean on loopnet! If you want more info about becoming a Property Scout, check it out at www.propertyscoutcash.com.
That's it for now.
To your AWESOME SUCCESS!

Individuals who have become very proficient at making decisions, without being influenced by the opinions of others, are the same people whose annual incomes fall into
the six and seven figure category. However, it’s not just your income that is affected by decisions; your whole life is dominated by this power...but that can be a topic for a different discussion. Suffice it to say, you must really DECIDE this is for you. Property Scouting is not a get rich QUICK program. It's takes work and dedication on your part. And if you DECIDE to be a Property Scout, you will be most successful if you have the stick-to-it-ivness -- to ride out the time it takes for the big payoffs.
Your decision to become a Property Scout must come from way down deep inside. Sometimes family and friends will question your thinking, but be strong. This is a great way to create lasting wealth for your future. Decide to stay with it. Decide to work it. Decide to learn the process and participate in the live training calls and take advantage of everything offerred at http://www.nacreps.com/ They've got great training, and great support staff.
I can tell you, for me...there were times I thought gee--- this is taking soooo long. But then, WOW! I am SO GLAD I made the decision to stay the course.
You will be too. First step -- Decide. Decide to become a Property Scout. Decide to spend a few hours every week finding properties. In my next tip, I'll walk you through some of my secrets for finding properties and I don't mean on loopnet!

That's it for now.
To your AWESOME SUCCESS!

About Property Scout Tips
Hi!
Welcome to Property Scout Tips. I've created this blog because this niche in the Commercial Real Estate industry is beginning to boom! Property Scouting is a REAL opportunity to work from home, using user-friendly internet tools and technology. The training from the folks at http://www.nacreps.org/ is incredible. It is indepth, and very complete. However, once people get out in the real world so to speak, they find they wish for a bit more guideance.
That's were this blog comes in. I've been a Property Scout for a couple of years, and feel like I've learned things along the way that can help others to be successful. If I can help someone with a short-cut or tip -- that's really cool! I welcome newbie Property Scouts to this site as well as old hands! I don't pretend to know everything -- and I'm always willing to learn new things from you. In fact, much of what I know, came from others! Unfortunately some of what I know, came from my own blunders. Bumbling through the process. Wasting precious time when I should have been moving quickly forward.
If you are currently a Property Scout, or have plans to become one, I invite you to join this forum where we can learn and grow together. Where we can all be successful. Where we can live our dreams to the fullest! If you're not currently a Scout, check it out at www.propertyscoutcash.com
Look for regular posts where I'll talk about a Tip-in-Time. It'll be fun! It'll be informative! It will help us all succeed. I'm interested in your feedback -- good, bad or ugly! I love feedback! And if you're willing to share your stories or tips, I welcome them with open arms!
OK. That's it for my first post!
Here's to our AWESOME SUCCESS!!
