Are you going to your work every week and putting in a solid effort and feel like you are not getting ahead? Thats why they call it the rat race. Its simply a routine of competitive activity that basically gets you nowhere. You are simply exchanging time for money and the vicious cycle just repeats itself.

To make it even worse every time you turn on the t.v. you hear things like: financial crisis, economic free fall, real-estate values free falling, etc So what does the average person do in times like this? They scurry right back in the rat cage and spin the wheel a little harder. Can you blame them? Its pretty tuff to allow yourself to walk a way from a steady income when everything around seems so uncertain.

Gratefully there are a few things that you can depend on. And one of those things is that here at U-Turn we have found a better way. A way to get out of the rat race with out the gripping fear and hesitation that usually comes with a new venture. Vending is the perfect opportunity to begin while keeping your present career.

Everyone who has studied economics can tell you that the only way to really break free from the rat race is to start earning passive income. Money that is coming in that you dont have to spend time actively earning. Well as a vending route owner you can be at your job or on a tropical island, it makes no difference where you are. Your vending machines will still be working hard and putting in their time for you. Producing all that income with out costing you all of your time.

There are 3 steps to building wealth and the business model for vending fits perfectly with them. In fact we have seen hundreds of people follow these simple steps when applied to vending and achieve their financial dreams.

Step 1- Make It. You have to begin by generating income, enough income that will cover your current expenses and then some. The average income, according to the Department of Labor Statistics, of a Snack Vender Owner/Operator is $70.58 per hour. And the exciting part is your machines trade their time for that money not you.

Step 2- Save It. Once you are generating enough income to cover your costs and your funds begin to build up, you have what is called discretionary income. Discretionary income is in major shortage for rodents. But for U-Turn vending route owners who conduct their busiess with proven principles, discretionary income leads to step 3. Which happily, leads to even more discretionary income.

Step 3- Invest It. This is where the real freedom begins. Income from investments is all passive income. That means you dont actively earn it. Your time is yours. And your money is working for you. Now the question is where to invest. Common sense tells us to invest your funds into something that has a historically proven return on investment. So a simple formula that has worked for literally thousands of our customers is: purchase vending machines-collect income-purchase more vending machines- collect more income! Then you have more discretionary income and more discretion with your time!

Current economic circumstances do call for a conservative approach and minimizing financial risks. With minimal start up cost, small time demands, and a product that consumers will purchase regardless or their economic conditions ( who doesnt put a 25 cents in a candy machine, regardless of the size of their paycheck) vending is the ideal venture to get you to a place financially were economic rollercoasters dont effect you, anymore.

Can you still make money flipping homes in the current market conditions? To some, it seems nothing more than an illusion. But for others, flipping is big business and the economy is actually helping get more deals.

Instead of focusing on the area, successful flippers focus on building systems. And to flip homes successfully as full time business revolves around three steps.

1. Finding the leads.

Be sure not to confuse leads with deals. Constantly promote your business to get more leads into your funnel. This is where it all starts for real estate investors that want to flip their way to wealth.

You’re going to remain on the lookout for potential properties and motivated sellers. Without actively promoting and marketing your business, then you’re never going to get deals. So, take step one and start marketing your business in an attempt to find and attract motivated seller leads.

2. Deal Converting.

Once you market your business, you’ll start getting leads of red hot motivated sellers begging you to buy their homes. So, next you’ll want to pre-qualify your seller to make sure they’re motivated. And then you’ve got to listen to your seller to make a win-win offer. The more information that you collect on the phone call or by your website, the more time you will save.

3. Time for the payoff.

This should be what you think of before ever presenting the offer. Although, this is the last piece of the puzzle, you should began the entire process with the end in mind - how you plan to get out of the deal and get paid?

Here are some options to consider as your exit strategy:

a. Do you plan to flip the property fast to another investor that will buy the property to fix up, and then resell to a homeowner?

b. Will you sell to a landlord investor that buys homes to hold as rentals?

c. Are their any investors that you have previous relationships with that would be interested in the deal?

Success depends on how quickly you can sell the property. Work to build solid relationships with real estate investor buyers in your local market because these investors are always on the lookout for more deals.

Negotiate a good enough deal so that you can leave some money on the table for your buyer. Investors don’t care if you make a profit as long as the deal makes sense for them.
