The OG of house flipping, Armando Montelongo, is back with a new television show, new houses to flip and the same ‘don’t-give-a-#%&$!’ attitude that made him famous.
Armando first burst onto the scene in 2006 with a nearly three-year run on “Flip This House,” and then largely steered clear of television. He made a few appearances, including a 2015 episode of CBS’ “Undercover Boss,” and some others. Meet Armando IN PERSON at this event!
PLUS, LEARN STRATEGIES FROM CLIFF GAGER – A VETERAN CALIFORNIA INVESTOR!
Cliff Gager has been in the real estate business since 1992, when he started in the residential mortgage lending world as a loan officer for a national mortgage company. Struggling at first to make commissions doing loans for Realtor’s clients, Cliff soon discovered he was in a business dominated by much older, more experienced, and more established mortgage lenders and brokers. But Cliff was able to discover a niche market opportunity that these more established lenders and brokers had overlooked – and wound up creating his own client base in the private lending world. Working with several non-institutional financial investors, Cliff hit upon the idea of originating private mortgage purchase money loans for real estate investors who were buying, fixing, and selling residential houses.
After watching many of these “house flipping” investors make money doing these deals, Cliff saw the clear potential for profitability, jumped in with both feet, and started to buy, fix, and sell houses, all the while continuing to perform in his already existing position as a residential lender and mortgage broker. Beginning around September of 1997, while working through some difficult times, Cliff began working in the real estate seminar industry for many of the late night TV “infomercial” gurus you likely know today!
In 2010 Cliff started working independently with students of his own, and is now bringing his training directly to the people that need it the most. Cliff teaches real world strategies that work in the real market.

6 Steps to Financial Freedom by Publisher/Investor, Linda Pliagas
By Linda Pliagas, editor & publisher of Realty411/reWealth and Cashflow Express
Everyone yearns for abundance and financial security, it is a human desire we all share. It is a motivation ingrained in us as part of our survival mechanism.
While we all have this in common, only a limited few ever actually reach true financial security.
The statistics can be depressing. According to the Retirement Confidence Survey (2006), 53% of Americans have less than $25,000 in retirement savings. Plus, 30% mistakenly believe that they will only need $250,000 or less in total retirement savings.
One of the problems in our society is a lack of discipline in regards to saving. In fact, a recent study by Harris Interactive found that 57% of households do not even have a budget (2009 Financial Literacy Study).
In my 20 year plus career in journalism, I have interviewed many successful and wealthy people, from celebrities to company CEOs. Undoubtedly, a perk to this profession was being able to unlock their secrets.
I’ve compiled a list of important guidelines, which were followed by many of those who transformed their mediocre life and average paychecks into extraordinary wealth.
These steps are not easy to follow, but they will get you started on a disciplined path and lead you toward creating a wealth-conscious mindset.
1. Reduce Your Household Expenses.
In California, we have some of the highest real estate prices in the nation so reducing living costs can be a sacrifice. One move that I have seen many real estate moguls make is that they start off their portfolio with a multifamily investment.
For example, if you are a first-time home buyer (or even an empty nester), be open to the idea of purchasing a duplex or other multifamily property instead of a typical single family residence. This way, you can live in one unit and rent out the other for income.
As a landlord myself, I know it’s not easy to live near tenants, but if you screen your prospective renters correctly, it will reduce future nightmares. Be smart, let other people pay off your mortgage! You can always save money and then buy another home later, after you build a passive income stream.
2. Increase Your Formal AND Financial Education.
Did you know that earning a bachelor’s degree can increase your income by $25,000 annually? Plus, it gets better:
According to Census Data, earning a graduate degree will net a person another $20,000 per year — that’s $45,000 more, year after year!
Now, don’t complain about the high cost of education or how “hard” it is to go back to school. My former neighbor was in her 50s, running her own business and attending?graduate school part-time. It’s never to late!
It’s also important to keep in mind that universities do NOT teach people how to get rich. So on top of your formal education, start taking classes about investing.
Financial classes are taught at most adult schools and colleges for a nominal fee. I have also attended real estate seminars for many years and have learned great tips from a variety of mentors.
3. Be an Aggressive/Conservative Investor.
Although it may sound like an oxymoron to be both aggressive yet conservative, it isn’t. It’s all about planning. The amount of risk you take with your money should be related to your age.
The younger you are, the more risk you can handle. But, don’t be foolish: One should never invest in something they do not fully understand. If stocks interest you, start learning about the market.
Learn how to decipher financial statements. If real estate is your game, start attending REIAs (Real Estate Investment Associations).
Also, don’t get greedy! I’ve known investors so desperate for that 20% return that they gave their money to unscrupulous companies only to never see their principal again!
Guard your principal, settle for less interest if need be. If the money is lost, it can take years to rebuild.
4. Don’t Follow the Crowd.
Most Americans are broke, why on Earth would you follow their bad habits? Trying to keep up with your neighbors can destroy your chances of financial freedom. Also be mindful of competition between family members.
For example, some families love to outdo each other in their travels. It’s non-stop cruises, trips to Hawaii, and weekends in Las Vegas. But guess what? They’re BROKE!?
Some people who know me may make fun of my frugality. They can jest all they want because I’ll be laughing all the way to the bank!
Many wealthy people are odd and eccentric, I used to think that money made them like that, but now I realize that they just don’t care about what others think. It was probably this defiant attitude that helped make them rich in the first place.
5. Saving is Sexy, It’s Fun to Be Frugal.
If saving is a deplorable chore, you won’t do it. If clipping coupons and wearing off-the-rack clothes is beneath you, then you need to change the attitude.
Start making a game out of saving and being frugal. See how much money you can put away in the cookie jar each week. Before you spend a dime, consciously think about the action you are taking.
Figure out if there is a better way to get what you need at a lower cost. Can you buy it second hand? Does someone else you know need the same thing? Can you barter an item or service in exchange for what it is you need?
Hold on to your pennies because they can accumulate into a fortune.
6. Step it Up a Notch.
Let’s get one thing straight, the 4-hour-work week is a complete myth. The reality is: Success doesn’t come easy. If it did, everyone would have a few million dollars in their bank account.
The wealthy people I know, who were not born with a silver spoon, toiled endless hours to get where they are. Sometimes they worked two jobs just to be able to pay off college debt or save enough money for a down payment on a home.
Others returned to school and juggled employment and family obligations for many years.
If you are not happy with your lot in life and you feel you deser
ve better, don’t just wish it to be so and wait. TAKE ACTION.
Don’t be lazy, don’t make excuses, and don’t feel sorry for yourself. Stay positive, keep focused, and you will see abundance before you know it.
I hope these ideas will inspire and light your path towards financial freedom.
To your abundance,
Linda Pliagas

Key Notes for the Real Estate Diva Panel Meeting
Key Notes for the Real Estate Diva Panel Meeting
by Linda Pliagas, founder/publisher
at the Beverly Hills Country Club, Feb. 2, 2012
Starts at 7 pm. Hosted by Sam’s Real Estate Club
http://samsrealestateclub.com/
The following are some notes I am taking to help me convey my tips for real estate success.
I hope you like them!
Humble yourself to achieve greatness.
Sometimes we have to start at the bottom or ask for help. Don’t be to proud to ask for assistance.
Sacrifice and Save, it’s good for you.
Don’t fall for the “instant gratification fix”. In order to start as an investor, you do need some money. Be careful of your spending habits, always put away money for short and long-term investments.
Enjoy the AWESOME Ride.
Success is not a Destination, It’s a Way of Life. Don’t wait to be happy until you’re a multimillionaire. Be happy and thankful now, but always expect and strive for greater.
Work as hard as you WANT IT!
Don’t just sit back and relax and wait for abundance. Go out there and make it happen. Be proactive, take measurable steps towards your goals. Success is not meant to be easy, so how badly do you want it?
Your best investment Starts with Yourself.
Having a solid educational foundation is important. Having a degree can up your annual income by $25K. A graduate degree will give you $45K more, year after year!
Your level of education is also important in how you perceive yourself and how others perceive you. It’s also important to also take seminars, boot camps and refresher courses to keep up to date with what is going on.
Leverage is a Double Edge Sword
Using leverage to grow your portfolio is important, however proceed with caution. Being over-leveraged is risky and can send your portfolio tumbling. Be wise on what you can handle, slow growth generally means stable growth. Don’t be so obsessed with having so much that you end up losing everything due to greed.
The Golden Rule: Do unto others…
Real Estate is a relationship based business. We need our property managers, they need landlords.
We need our tenants, they need investors. Don’t be cocky and belittle people, everyone has a special gift and talent.
So always be gracious and charming, which is NOT EASY.
Remember: If you are a joy to be around with, you will never lack business, real estate partners and deals!
People will bring success right to your doorstep and want to help you because they LIKE you.
