Welcome to my 20/2: 20 CHECKS IN 2 YEARS PROGRAM! The 20 CHECKS IN 2 YEARS PROGRAM is all about holding small multi unit apartments long term for steady cashflow and imminent appreciation. History shows real estate fortunes are more easily made in down markets than in bull markets, as properties are for sale at bargain prices. I believe real estate prices have depreciated enough to be at or near the bottom. It’s always best to catch the curve at this point rather than on its way up. It’s much harder to get into the game when prices are going up and everyone is still fearful that the market may crash and burn once again. In other words, if the deal makes sense now you should pull the trigger! The beauty of this program is that it doesn’t even matter if prices drop an- other 30%, which seems very doubtful. When you invest with the intention of holding long term on solid cashflowing properties you won’t lose. As I’ll show you later, by following my simple cashflow formula, your investments become bullet proof! With this manual and the accompanying videos, you will learn how to achieve financial freedom in 2 short years. By the way, if your lifestyle demands it, you could always go for 30 checks in 3 or 40 checks in 4 years, and so on. So, here’s the million dollar question. Are you ready, willing and able to jump in and follow my program faithfully? You need not worry about the money part, as this program is specially designed to work in today’s depressed real estate market where bank mortgages can be hard to come by. If you have little or no money, I can supply you with the best training on how to use OPM (Other People’s Money) to finance your deals and achieve your ultimate objective.

Copyright © 2012 Sam Sadat 20/2 TWENTY CHECKS IN 2 YEARS 3 20/2 HOW I CAME UP WITH THE 20/2 PROGRAM I started my real estate club in 2003 and by 2008 our meetings were bringing in over 150 people every month. Everyone was euphoric, and with prices ris- ing by the week, many thought California was immune to a crash. But when disaster struck, real estate investors got disillusioned and club attendance dwindled. There was widespread fear that real estate was dead as a viable investment option. By mid 2009 everyone had fled the market. However, I noticed something. With prices falling off a cliff, profit margins were increasing. In fact they were great! I started my fix and flip strategy and it worked well through 2010 when competition heated up and the banks became less cooperative as they saw investors making money off their blunders. During that period I looked hard at the market for multi family properties in the Los Angeles area, but they were still overpriced and would not cash flow. So I started buying 2 to 4 units in Riverside and San Bernardino, where proper- ties were selling for less than their replacement value. My thought was that if I could not sell them as a fix and flip, I could keep them indefinitely because they would give me solid cash flow and massive ROI (Return On Invest- ment). One of my student investors and I had a lot of fun accumulating an inventory of 2-4’s in the Inland Empire. Last year things began to change. Although there are good deals still to be found, the area was getting a lot of competition from other investors. Then things began to shift in Los Angeles. Multis were beginning to cash flow. I started to liquidate my Inland Empire holdings and focus my attention on properties that were much closer to home and I began participating in large apartment building syndications with affluent investors. The crash turned out to be a great experience for me; after all, “that which does not kill us makes us stronger.” Out of it I formulated a series of rules and guidelines that helped me make better and quicker decisions on all kinds of multi unit properties in different locations. That led me to refocus on my real mission: helping small investors buy and hold for financial independence. Even though it’s new, I know this system works because it has been tested in the most turbulent real estate market since the Great Depression. It has been tested in multiple communities, ur- 20/2 TWENTY CHECKS IN 2 YEARS 4 20/2 ban and outlying. It works on duplexes as well as 20+ unit apartment build- ings. It took me a while to put it all together and develop this 20/2 Program and it now has all the components you need to reach your financial goals. We will show you where to get the properties, where to get the money and how to buy for long term hold. So, now it’s up to you. If you are truly motivated you can use my program to achieve financial freedom for yourself in two short years. Remember, once a barrier is broken, anyone can follow suit and produce the same results. I’m here to tell you that we have broken the barrier and you can now step into our footprints! Here’s how you can best use this program: Watch the videos first and then study the manual. Look at it like this. Videos are like the classroom and the manual is like the text book.

Since the end of World War II millions of Americans have made the largest investment of their lives in their homes. It paid off handsomely for our parents and grandparents. Many of us well remember being told to buy a house, pay it off and either live there for free or sell it and buy a retirement home with the proceeds. It was a good, conserva- tive idea – and it worked. Home prices have advanced steadi- ly over the decades. The rising wealth of the middle class guaran- teed a huge return on that home investment. And for those seeking entry into the middle class, it was a proven road to financial security. In addition to buying your own home, nearly anybody with ambition and a little cash could build a fortune by investing in real estate. It beat the stock market, retirement plans, and just about any other investment you can think of. As we all know from the disastrous decisions made by our government, the unregulated greed of Wall Street, the deception of the Mega Banks – and unwise decisions of some homeowners - what worked in real estate a few years ago is not applicable any more. The implosion of the real estate market has pulled down the well meaning homeowners along with the overextended speculators. Everyone’s real estate values have plummeted, leading to enormous losses. The lucky ones, have just incurred a paper loss in market value, the unlucky ones have lost their homes, their equity and their good credit. Now it’s a new ball game. Anything you thought was true about real estate is obsolete. The current market is dy- namic – chaotic even – to the point that we all have to relearn the market and 20/2 TWENTY CHECKS IN 2 YEARS 6 20/2 reinvent our investment strategies.
