Bootleg Real Estate Investing Must Go

Bootleg Real Estate Investing Must Go

     I've seen enough of this crap and hopefully the rest of the actual real estate professionals will take a stand and speak up also! Real estate investing forums are great when used correctly, but the "newbie investors" are starting to become the many. I have no problem with new people getting into the business the right way or even cheaply. The issue I have is people hear "take action" and jump directly into ruining lives and half-assed running a business! Newsflash if you don't know the very basic details to your business you can't run one!
     The way people are starting a business now is ridiculous! They hear a basic overview of what many of us do & see the income/lifestyles we get to live and then decide they're one of us! It's like eating at a Burger King and then going to the grocery store buying some hamburger, hamburger buns, a bag of French fries, paper plates, and declaring yourself a restauranter! Sounds silly right? One it is silly and two sadly that $25 is more than most people want to put into their new real estate business.
     If you're going to get into this wonderful business don't go it alone on advice from some under moderated forum. At least find someone reputable to talk to that can help guide your path. If someone is telling you to advertise another person's deals without expressed written permission don't listen to them! They're the exact type of dumbass you need to avoid! (<<< that's for Nasar) Please do not promise people in dire financial  situations that you can help them if you don't know what you are doing from start to finish! The thing that most people do not realize is "promised money" is "spent money" to average people.
     I'll close with this get guidance, marketing, marketing and more marketing, and then close deals & get paid often!

CM Punk Plus UFC Equals Opportunity???

     So the UFC signed CM Punk recently and every one seemingly has an opinion on it. I understand it honestly they're a huge company with a ton of shows and very few drawing cards.               
     Anyone can say whatever they want about the UFC and their business practices, but their main purpose is to sell tickets and get viewers to make money! How they share the money is another issue entirely (see any of the  500+ articles about the UFC class action lawsuit filed today 12/16/14).
     A different perspective from a marketing guy though is how signing CM Punk can create an entirely different revenue stream for the company. Millions of people love to watch the UFC, but honestly between Pay Per View, The Ultimate Fighter, UFC On Fox, UFC on Fox Sports 1,and Fight Pass it's a ton of the same thing over and over. Having something new and fresh to market couldn't hurt even if it is a slightly borrowed concept. A few years ago Strikeforce had A Challengers series which featured amateur as well as up and coming fighters competing to fill up undercards. The UFC could take this concept and use it once a month in the place of a "light card". To find/build the future stars of the sport, let contracted guys who aren't placed on televised portions of most shows be seen , and get ratings from random guys with names (i.e. athletes, actors, television personalities, etc) who train in MMA! CM Punk will likely look the part of a fighter when gets in there, but does he really belong on a televised event with the typical UFC quality of fighter against another 0-0 guy most likely no one has ever heard of?
    So I hope Dana White remembers this was my idea haha... In the mean time you can follow me on Twitter @GH620 find me on cyberdust hookvcg (which is awesome get it if you don't have it Mark Cuban is behind it BTW) or add me on LinkedIn and Facebook as Greg Harris (because it's my name).
