| Cash in on the Cash Flow Industry: The Billion Dollar
industry you have never heard about |
$10,000
per month. $5,000+ per deal. $20,000 or more on one deal.
$100,000+ per year. Add to that working from home, being your
own boss, and setting your own hours, and you have the perfect
home-based business.
This growing opportunity is only available in the Cash Flow
Industry. Here, you have billions of dollars worth of notes at
your disposal and have exceptional earnings potential. You will
need training to work in this industry, so before you embark on
your new career you should take the time to learn about the
business itself, the competition, industry trends, etc. You
should also take the time to locate successful people in the
industry so you can learn from them and pattern your future
success after theirs.
We have done
this last step for you. We did our research and pinpointed one
of the most successful cash flow brokers in the history of the
industry. He started his business in 1992 and has since turned
his company into one of the largest buyers of privately held
notes in the country as well as one of the nation’s premier
training resources for new note brokers.
Leland von
Syring, Founder and President of Charter Financial in Houston,
was a successful restaurateur when he learned about the cash
flow industry. Tired of working long hours and weekends, Leland
searched for an opportunity that would allow him to have more
quality time with his family. A friend suggested that he
consider buying and selling privately held mortgages because it
doesn’t require “a lot of hours” and “the commissions are
excellent.”
Excited
about this wonderful new opportunity, Leland thought he would
give it a try and immediately researched the note business,
located a couple of investors, and began marketing the business
by placing a classified ad in his local newspaper. The results
were amazing! He immediately located two note holders within the
first two weeks and made commissions equaling $5,400 the first
month (only working about two hours a week), while still running
his restaurants.

WHAT IS
THE “CASH
FLOW INDUSTRY”?
The cash
flow industry involves the
buying and selling of privately held
notes in secondary markets. To
simplify, if someone is receiving
payments over time from an income
stream, then chances are that a
private or institutional investor will be willing to
purchase this future income stream (at a discount) in
exchange for a lump sum payment now.
Here is an example: There is a
lottery winner who will be receiving
payments of $50,000 per year for the next 10 years. The
broker, the
individual who locates the note
holders, takes this information and
forwards it to investors, soliciting
offers. Investors will then make offers at a discount.
In this example, the best offer is $375,000. The broker
then subtracts a commission from
the amount offered by the investor, in this case, the
broker decides on
$25,000 and then offers the amount
of $350,000 to the lottery winner
($375,000 minus $25,000 = $350,000). The lottery winner
will
accept a discounted offer because he prefers to have the
money now rather than over the next 10 years. |
Realizing that he
had stumbled upon something with great potential, he quickly began
placing more ads in different newspapers around his area, sought out new
note buyers, and began the transition to sell his restaurants. Within 9
months from starting his note brokering business, Leland sold his
restaurants and began working in the note business full time.
Driven by his
entrepreneurial spirit, he wanted to expand his company and increase his
earnings. He began advertising for notes in papers across the country
and expanded his business to include the purchasing of structured court
settlements, lottery winnings, and business notes. He also secured lines
of credit to purchase the notes on his own. Business was doing so well
that he had to hire a couple of assistants to help with the processing
of his transactions.
Soon after he began
his new business, he attended his first note convention and came away
with a clear vision of where he wanted his company to be and how he
wanted to get there. He wanted to grow
into the nation’s largest buyer of privately held notes. The only way he
could accomplish this was to incorporate brokers into his company. At
that time, the industry was just starting out and there
were only a few individuals teaching the business. These individuals
charged thousands of dollars for seminars and home study courses and
most people couldn’t afford to spend that kind of money to learn the
business. Leland knew there was a better way.
Having worked the
business for several years, Leland had acquired great knowledge about
the industry and decided that he would write his own training manual and
recruit his own brokers. He gave much thought to writing the manual,
wanting to make it easy to read, understand, and implement while at the
same time including all of the information a starting broker would need
in order to be successful. Based on his desire to help as many
individuals as possible reach their goals and to help his company reach
its
goals, he named the new program, “Building Wealth Together”.
Setting up a
corporate structure that would create a win-win relationship for both
the broker and Charter Financial was of the utmost importance to Leland.
This structure would be set up so that the
broker would want to work with his company and would have every
opportunity to succeed. The new structure included setting up a valuable
broker support “hotline” staffed with experienced note brokers. He also
staffed the company with experienced “Contract Buyers” who would work
with the brokers by quoting their deals and helping process them.
Reluctantly, Leland also knew he would have to charge for the manual
because of the costs involved in locating new brokers, setting up the
support personnel, and printing the manuals. At the same time, he wanted
the brokers to have a real incentive for joining his program. Therefore,
he decided to refund the cost of the course to his new associates upon
completion of their first transaction. This bonus was to be in addition
to their commission. This way he could literally offer his program at no
cost to new associates and at the same time, create a sense of loyalty
from the new brokers. He took this a step further by adding incentives
for his new brokers on their second and third transactions too, so they
could use this bonus money to expand their businesses, if they chose to,
just as he had done.
Offering superior
support reached a new level when he developed the CHARTER FINANCIAL
ADVANTAGE™. This excellent program allows a new broker the opportunity
to have Charter Financial
complete a transaction for him, once his client has agreed to an offer.
This means that a new broker can focus on locating note holders and
sellers, while Charter processes the transactions for him, at no cost.
This service is free to all Charter associates and is priceless!
With the manual complete and the support staff in place, Leland von
Syring and Charter Financial began promoting the “Building Wealth
Together” program in 1999. The program was an instant success, and since
that time, Charter Financial has experienced phenomenal growth. Today,
the organization that once started with one individual and a dream, now
consist of offices in 5 states with over 30 employees consisting of
broker support, contract buyers, marketing and office personnel.
Leland attributes this astounding growth to the relationships that
Charter has built with their brokers. He states: “Nothing gives me more
satisfaction than hearing the success stories of our associates; it is a
great feeling to help people change their lives.” One such story comes
from, John Young in Mississippi who writes:
“I finally ordered your program after much thought and my biggest
mistake was waiting so long to do so. After reviewing the materials I
placed a $15 per week ad in a weekly publication here in Mississippi and
from just that one ad, I have made over $5,100. I probably have not
spent 3 hours total making this money. I was really impressed with the
way Charter refunded my initial start up cost on my first deal, and paid
me the bonuses for my second and third deals. I am currently getting
ready to expand my advertising and close the other business that I run
to devote my full time to this. I haven’t had time to even try the other
marketing ideas outlined in Charter’s materials. This has to be the best
home-based business offer there is. Again, thank you for the opportunity
to become completely independent from the 8 to 5 rat race.”
(Testimonials on file in home office)
Leland goes on to state that he feels very proud when he receives
complements from brokers on the excellent support they have received
from his staff. “I have personally handpicked each member that
works on the support level. Charter has recruited some of the most
successful brokers in the industry to come work as part of our
successful support staff.” He states further, “When you call in for
assistance, you are speaking to someone who has been successful in the
industry and knows how to assist you.”
When asked what distinguishes his company from all the other companies
in the note industry as well as other business opportunities, he stated,
“We are a really unique company in that we recruit our own brokers so
that we can train them ourselves and build good relationships with them.
We only make money when our associates make money so we are very
motivated to help them reach their goals, so that we can reach ours.
This is the basic philosophy that has helped us grow the business.” He
also goes on to say, “The average commission per transaction is around
$2,300. This allows brokers the opportunity to start out on a part-time
basis then decide for themselves if they want to do this full-time.”
