When you decide that you truly want to be successful in real estate investing and get into it full time, or even if you want to be really good at it part time, then you have to build systems. Systems for everything.

Here are some of the systems that you need to have in place: 1. Lead generation (for buying houses and finding buyers for your deals); 2. Lead processing (a system to handle the leads once you get them); 3. Closing system. The system to handle your buyers is the most important of them all.

You have to have a system set up that attracts buyers to you looking for the kind of deals you have. It must be able to whittle them down. Meaning the system should separate tire kickers from true buyers, so that you don’t have to talk to everyone who shows a little interest. Without this system you will not sell a lot of properties and you will waste a huge amount of time.

The foreign currency exchange market is popularly known as the Forex market. In this market people trade on currency, buying and selling one countrys currency that will appreciate or depreciate against other world currencies.

Profits in the Forex trading market result from the fluctuation in the differing prices of the currencies being traded. These currencies are sold in pairs and compete against each other.

The gold standard through which most international currencies were pegged has been eliminated, thus values fluctuate continuously throughout the market. Profit or loss happens in trading even on a very small variation in value of a currency against another currency.

Although the New York Stock Exchange is one of the largest in the world, Forex is even larger with more than $1.5 trillion dollars traded each day. Note that this makes the Forex market 100 million times larger than NYSE. Forex has become the absolute mother of all trading markets, yet transactions to exchange currency for travelers or business account for only five percent of its business.

Let’s say you are interested in getting started wholesaling properties but not sure what the state laws are concerning this kind of real estate transactions and you don’t want to break any laws unknowingly.

Although every state is different, I assure you that wholesaling is legal everywhere. This is just business like any other and the free market system – buying low and selling high – nothing illegal about that.

If you are not a realtor, you don’t have to worry about it also because you are not considered a professional. Even though some realtors don’t know Jack – I know some people who have taken Realtor test – in several different sates – and passed without studying. In most states you only have to score a 70 to pass the bloody exam and get your license. That was a D grade when I was in school. So much for them being professional.
