How to Live Rent Free in a Duplex

What some Millionaires Did When They Were Broke......

"Tired of Making Your Landlord or Bank Rich at Your Expense? Now You Can Get In On The Action.!"

And You Can Do It With Very Little Effort. Why Not Hire Your Neighbor To Make Your Rent or Mortgage Payment?

 

From the desk of Hal Cranmer:

Dear Future  "Free and Clear" Homeowner,

It's time to stop making ridiculous mortgage payments or end paying sky-high rents that consume large percentages of your income.

Wouldn’t it be better if these payments just went away?

What if someone made your payments for you? What could you do with that money?

Could you…pay off all your other debt in a hurry?….Go on a nice vacation?…Buy a nicer car?

Now imagine being able to do this every year. Because you can own your own home and have little to no mortgage or rent payments. You might even put some extra in your pocket each month.

It’s really pretty easy to live this lifestyle.  Just by buying a duplex or other multifamily property.  You can live in one unit, rent out the rest, and put your mortgage payment – or more – back in your pocket each month!  With a duplex, the money goes to you – not to your landlord or bank.


And if you think you can’t afford to pay for a home and have to rent – think again. Many lenders still want to make money - and are willing to lend.  You can still buy a duplex with very little money down.

But isn't the housing market just awful right now?  Maybe for some people..

Not for many real estate investors (like me).  We are still making a lot of money. We just have much less competition.  Look at these headlines:

"Good Time to Buy? Housing Cheaper to Own vs. Rent: WSJ" - Yahoo Finance 11/28/11

 

"7 Reasons Why Now's a Good Time to Buy a Home" - CBSNews.com - 6/8/11

 

"Two key measures now suggest it's an excellent time to buy a house, either to live in for the long term or for investment income" - Wall Street Journal online 10/11/11


Nobody believes these headlines - but they are true.  The deals out there are unbelievable.

I'm sure you have questions.  Questions like:


How can you run a rental property while still working a full-time job and having time for family commitments or hobbies?

How do you find a property that is a good investment? How do you know the area where you want to buy will have good tenants? Or that you will be able to find tenants at all?

How do you find a good loan with the best interest rate? How do you negotiate with home sellers to make sure you get the best deal?

How do you inspect a property? How do you fix up the place after you buy it?

How do you advertise to attract tenants? How do you screen the tenants to make sure you don’t have trouble later?

How can you manage the tenants well with minimal time commitment? How do you sell the property for the maximum price when you are ready to move?

Well, now you can quickly get concise, accurate answers to your questions on owning and renting a duplex — and finally start getting ahead instead of just watching your paycheck go to Mr. Landlord or Mr. Banker each month.

You’ll find the answers you need in my new e-book Living in Payment-Free Homes.

My reader's say it best:


Rick H. just moved into a single family home after owning a duplex for three years and not paying a mortgage.

“Wow! What a terrific read! Your manuscript is a compendious resource that I think should be required reading for every investor in small multi-unit buildings. I love how it is so detailed and how you cover many things that are overlooked in so many other books. I especially like how you provided numerous online resources for so many areas, from finding contractors to finding tenants, etc…"

"I think I mentioned to you how I immediately jumped to the 'Finding Tenants section when I was having trouble getting my own unit leased up.  It was so helpful, particularly the information that explains how to properly vet an application."

"So Many Other Courses from 'Investment Gurus on the Web Cost Hundreds or Thousands of Dollars"



Every day I see ads on the internet promoting the latest investment guru’s way to make millions through real estate. These are people who have ‘proven systems’ to get rich, but you would have to quit your job to do all the things they want you to do.

Many of these gurus talk about buying one house a week, or having 10 rehab projects going on at the same time. Me? I have a family and a life. I don’t have that kind of time. And their courses ain’t cheap. Many of these courses are $500 or $1000 or more. If you go to one of the guru bootcamps, you may be out several thousand dollars – and you pay all this money BEFORE you buy your first investment property or have your first dollar in rent.


"So How Much Does  A Full Course Like This Cost?"


Perhaps I should ask "How much money will you have left AFTER you pay for all the other guru's courses?"

Will you still have enough money to put down on a property after you have paid for all this ‘education’?

In Living in Payment Free Homes, you get my proven formula for owning your own duplex or multifamily rental property, with all your important questions answered. And it won’t cost $5,000 … or $500 … or even $100 to get my system!

That’s because Living in Payment Free Homes has a list price of $79 – and that’s what we’ll sell it for next year. But act now and it’s yours for only $19 … a savings of $60 … it's less than 2% of a typical home’s monthly mortgage payment.

It could be less than 0.1% of what you could save on buying a duplex, or 5% of what you could save by buying one appliance for your rental if you use the techniques in the book.

It is far less than any of those ‘guru’s’ would charge for half an hour of their time. And much less than their courses that run into the hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Because it is an ebook, you will be able to download it immediately and start working on your ‘payment free lifestyle’ right away.

And that’s the investment you make only if my program succeeds at helping you own a duplex and put 80-100% of your mortgage payment in your pocket each month. If it doesn’t, then it won’t cost you a penny. Here’s why…



"Your Investment Is Fully Backed By My 100% Satisfaction Iron-Clad Guarantee..."

I totally guarantee your satisfaction with this unique guide to earning thousands of dollars a year by owning your own duplex or multifamily home. In fact, the program can easily pay back its cost more than 10 – 100 times by using just one or two tips on running the duplex! Even better, if you aren’t convinced that Living in Payment Free Homes is the best investment you’ve made in your real estate education this year….Or you are unhappy for any other reason … or for no reason at all … just let me know within 60 days. We’ll give you a prompt and full refund. And you can keep the e-book free with my compliments. That way, you risk nothing.

One more thing….

There’s an excellent chance that the economy will continue to be shaky during the next 12 months or so – and that double-digit unemployment will be with us for a long, long time. Wouldn’t it be a relief to know that you would still have your house payment taken care of – even if you got canned from your regular job?

That way, you would continue to enjoy living in your home even if, heaven forbid, you get a pink slip. Or another market crash wipes out a good chunk of your retirement nest egg. And now, with Living In Payment Free Homes, you can be on the road to attaining that wonderful feeling of financial security that living with little to no mortgage payment can give youstarting in as little as 60 days. So what are you waiting for?
