<p>Hello again, and thank you for taking time and allowing me to share  with you who we are at Venture Companies. Here is part 3 of this 4 part series  on (Who We Are and What We Do). If you missed <a href="http://venturehomesales.com/blog/2008/11/24/venture-companies-who-we-are-and-what-we-do/">part 1 (Venture Realty)</a> or <a href="http://venturehomesales.com/blog/2008/12/01/venture-companâ€¦t-we-do-part-2venture-companies-who-we-are-and-what-we-do-part-2/">2 (1st Metropolitan Mortgage)</a> please take some time to read the posts and understand everything we can offer  you.</p>
<h3><strong><a href="http://venturenc.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=16&amp;Itemid=18">Venture  Investments</a></strong></h3>
<p>On our Investment side, we have a niche in Charlotte. I got my start in Real Estate when  I bought my first Investment Property. Through my experience I realized the  amount of money that could be made when buying at a discount. I wanted to offer <span lang="EN">the public access to what only Professional  Investors knew about buying and selling of Investment Properties, thus Venture  Investment was created. </span>We have<span lang="EN"> a full time Investment  Director, who is constantly looking for Foreclosures every day.Â  We actually go  out and take pictures of these properties and upload then to our website and  email them to our members in the Exclusive VIP buyers club. </span></p>
<p><span id="more-77"></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">What we have done is make sure that YOU are protected.  We disclose what type of house, which neighborhood, subdivisions, or area that  the possible property is located in. Our staff performs title searches,  appraisals, inspections if possible, up to date rental rates, and other comps.Â   We fully disclose everything we have access to, so YOU fully understand and are  educated about the Investment you will make.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">When purchasing one of our Investment Properties, everything  happens on a first come first serve basis. Whoever calls us first is the client  we work with on that one property. The only way we can take everyone serious  when dealing with this much opportunity for profit is make sure that anyone who  shows consideration in making a offer for one of these property is  pre-qualified by us.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN">There is money to be made and let us show you how to  get your hands on it. Whether you want to earn instant equity or you want to  generate cash flow, give us a call.</span></p>
<p>Thank you again for your time, and keep looking for Part 4 to follow  shortly. Please donâ€™t hesitate to call myself or any staff member at  Venture Investments &#8211; Charlotte North Carolina&#8217;s Real Estate ExpertsÂ  (704) 597-9009 or Visit the <a href="http://VentureNC.com"><strong>Venture Companies Website Here</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, Iâ€™m Larry Thompson, Founder and President of Venture Companies, the most diverse Real Estate firm in Charlotte, NC today. I want to welcome you to my blog, a place to share my insights, experiences and the lessons Iâ€™ve learned from being in the Real Estate, Mortgage Financing and Investment industries for many years.<span id="more-13"></span></p>
<p>Let me first begin by giving you a little background about myself. I graduated from Clemson University in 1994 with a degree in Finance and have an MBA from University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I served 9 years in the South Carolina National Guard as an Engineer Officer where I gained invaluable experience. I got my Real Estate license in 1999 and formed Thompson Realty along with my wife, Kim, whoâ€™s also a graduate of Clemson with an MBA in Accounting from UNCC. I began investing in properties in the Charlotte area and bought and sold so many properties, that my Mortgage Broker at that time wanted me to start doing my own Mortgages. After learning how to make the Real Estate and Mortgage businesses work together, I formed Venture Realty in 2003, where we combine the Real Estate, Mortgages and Attorneys all under the same roof.</p>
<p>In 2003, I became the #13 ranked Rookie Mortgage Broker in the nation.</p>
<p>By 2007 I was ranked #15 nationally on Loan Volume alone. I currently serve as 1 of 22 national members of RMG (Realty Mastermind Group), a group of Top Real Estate Experts in the U.S., who sell between 100 -500 homes a year. Our sole purpose is to share best practices and information on current markets strategies. Iâ€™ve also been the only agent in Charlotte, to be featured in the book<strong><em> â€œBillion Dollar Agents â€“ Lessons Learned 2006â€</em></strong>. To be featured in this book, you had to achieve or will achieve 1 Billion Dollars in sales in your career.</p>
<p>Today, under the global heading of Venture Companies, weâ€™ve developed into a <strong>ONE STOP SOURCE</strong> for all your Real Estate needs. Our current 7,000 sq. ft. office houses <strong><a href="http://www.venturenc.com">Venture Realty</a></strong>, a full service Real Estate Firm, a branch of <strong>1st Metropolitan Mortgage</strong>, a National Mortgage Company and <a href="http://venturehomeinvestments.com">Venture Investments</a>, a company specializing in finding foreclosures and Real Estate Owned Properties. We also have a <strong>Property Management</strong> company that services the rental market and an in-house <strong>Attorney</strong> that closes all of our real estate transactions while providing legal consultation to our clients. By having all of these services under one roof, I feel it gives our clients the convenience and satisfaction of having all their needs met in one place &#8211; something nobody else can provide.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and logging on to this site. I look forward to creating a place to share my experience and knowledge with those of you who want to gain knowledge and continuously learn about the changing Real Estate market. Keep watching for new additions.</p>
