On the morning of August 6th an associate of mine received an email from me requesting that he wire a vendor payment of $3,470.  Because of our relationship, it was not unusual that I would make this request.  Luckily, he texted me to ask what the payment was for, and that's when we realized that someone was impersonating me and attempting to commit Cyber Fraud!

In the words of Tom Cronkright, my guest today, Cyber Fraud is "unhinged and has reached an epic level in real estate transactions."  This affects everyone who is buying or selling real estate.

Tom is an expert on Cyber Fraud and started a company called CertifID to prevent fraud in the real estate, lending, and title industries.  You might also recognize Tom as the CEO of Sun Title, a Title Agency serving the Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

Tom has some Mind-Blowing content to share with us today, including clues to look for that indicate you're being scammed, ways to protect yourself, and Real-Time examples of Fraud that Tom has seen over the past year.

You definitely want to listen to this episode, because its not a matter of 'if', but rather 'when' Cyber Fraud will happen to you!

You can contact Tom by email at:  tcronkright@certifid.com

Whether you believe in Ghosts or not, sometimes strange and inexplicable things happen that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Our guests today talk about the creaking doors, the footsteps, the feeling of being watched, and the sensation of seeing an apparition of someone long dead.

With stories from old and new guests: Ann Finkler, Gary Hall, Steve DeKoster, Brandon Krieg, John Potter, and Sue Dejonge.

I know you'll enjoy this episode and I'd appreciate it if you'd share that enjoyment by giving us a review and rating in itunes.

Happy Halloween!

If you own and manage rental property, then keeping track of your income and expenses is something you've had to deal with.  And having the right systems and software in place can help you make more money, save time, and ultimately achieve a higher value when it comes time to sell.

Today we're going to talk about what you should look for in accounting software, the information you should be tracking, and how you should set up your books for proper accounting and tax purposes.

Steve Bjorkman is the CEO and Founder of Rental Hero, a simple and easy-to-use rental accounting software built for rental owners and landlords.  Steve and I discuss the pro's and con's of using excel and quickbooks, why you should always have a separate business account for your rental, the value of hiring a CPA, how to set up your books and categorize income and expenses, and how to keep track of your receipts.

Keeping track of your income and expenses is just as important as taking care of your property.  Those who get it right are better positioned to make higher profits.  Steve shares a lot of excellent tips and best practices in this episode that will help you do just that.

Scott Pollmann read the Purple Book, played the Cash Flow Board Game, paid for the Rich Dad Training, and set off to buy his first Real Estate Investment.  Most people would start with a Single Family or Duplex, but Scott managed to find, negotiate and acquire a 16-unit for his first deal.

Today Scott tells us how he made this happen and the lessons he's learned along the way.  We'll talk about the value of the training he paid for, how it helped him pinpoint his offer price on the 16-unit, and how it prepared him to add value once he closed.

Scott is also a High School Science teacher and has begun sharing his knowledge of Real Estate Investing with his students.  He's also learning from them.  One of his students used Robert Kiyosaki's lessons to invest in pigs!  Scott also has a strong belief in the value of mentoring and the changes it can bring into people's lives.

This is a great episode for new and experienced investors to enjoy.  You can contact Scott by email: Scott@10talentsllc.com

I'd also like to ask for a favor - please go to itunes and give us a 5-star rating & review.  This will help drive more listeners to the show.  Thanks!
