Real Estate Investing Classroom Show Transcripts:
Mike: Welcome back to the FlipNerd.com REI classroom where experts from across the real estate investing industry teach you quick lessons to take your business to the next level. And now, let's meet today's expert host.
Dave: All right, everybody, it's your host with the most Dave Payerchin here in the REI Classroom and today we're going to be talking about raising money.
Mike: This REI Classroom real estate lesson is sponsored by UglyOpportunities.com
Dave: Raising money: To a real estate investor that is music to our ears, that is the lifeblood of our business and it really allows any real estate investor to operate. If you think you're going to get out there in real estate and use all of your own capital . . . I don't care how much money you have, eventually, you're going to run out. But you've got to get out there and raise money.
What we're going to be talking about today is two different forms of raising money, raising money for buy and hold properties as well as raising money for flip properties. Now, I'm co-owner of Columbus Turn Key Houses. We're the leading provider of turnkey investment properties in the Columbus Ohio market and we raise money for both.
We are real estate investors ourselves and we raise money to increase our buy and hold portfolio. I'm going to explain one program and I can't take 100% credit for this. I got this from my very good friend Cleveland, Joe Lieber. If you're listening, Joe, thank you very much. This works phenomenal for us, but we raise money on low-income housing.
Some of you listening to this are going to hear these numbers and think it's just astronomical. That's why you've got to get into the marketplace and start buying some of these things yourself. But what we will do is find a home that we can acquire for less than $20,000. This is a property that we could rent for $600 or $700 a month. Yes, as at $20,000, we can acquire homes that low here in Ohio.
What we will do is approach a private moneylender and we will raise the full $20,000 for acquisition and rehab. We're all in for $20,000 and we borrow that money from a private investor at 9% interest amortized, principal and interest amortized over five years.
You've heard of 30-year mortgages, 15-year mortgages this is only a five-year note in mortgage. So we'll have this investor paid back his $20,000 within five years and we're paying 9% interest. What that means, obviously the shorter the term of a loan, the higher the payment. We don't make a ton of cash flow on these $20,000 properties for the first five years. We're not earning a ton of positive monthly cash flow and we're pretty much breaking even is what we call it. We don't even count on that revenue.
But everybody, the point of that $20,000 or less properties is we're going to own these properties free and clear after five years. Plus, the investor that we raise this money from feels totally safe and secure. We never co-mingle funds, one investor for one property and we secure this investor's money with a note and first mortgage. We never put second mortgages on our homes either.
That's one example of buy and hold. And also, when you're approaching a private moneylender, always let them know that their money . . . the house is the collateral. Also, use title companies or attorneys in every single closing that you do. We're not writing IOUs on a napkin here.
Another program that we do for our flip properties, and by the way, everybody, we started our raising money from one individual year ago with a $50,000 loan. Since then, we've gone on to raise millions of dollars. So the trick to raising money is relationships. Another trick is coming through. You've got to come through. Don't take this stuff lightly. Take it seriously. You want to make sure your investor is always paid no matter what. That is the lifeblood of your business here.
So when we're buying a property that we intend to flip, we'll borrow acquisition and rehab money so we're 100% financed and we pay 12% to this investor. So that's basically 1% a month. So if we, for instance, borrowed $100,000, it's really easy to calculate. It's $1000 a month interest-only payments. Of course, we borrowed money for acquisition and the rehab and then we'll even cut that investor in anywhere from 5% to 15% of the net profit because we've got to make it worth their while.
Now, when you're raising money, the key points here are to always make sure you secure your investor's money with a note and a mortgage or a trust deed if you live in a trust deed state. And always make sure you are taking care of your relationship with your lender. Again, that is your lifeblood and don't hesitate to ask your lenders, do they know any friends or families who also want to earn an above-average return on their capital.
Another good source to find private moneylenders, everyone, is your escrow agent or title company. If you're out there closing multiple deals with them, then they know other people who are out there closing deals. They know people who have money. Title companies and Escrow agents are a great source for capital. Also, a lot of people don't talk about this, but what about your seller? Let's pretend you bought a home for $100,000 and the seller owned that property free and clear. You're giving them $100,000 at closing. Ask them what are they going to do with that money. If they're going to stick it in a bank, ask them if they're open to lending that money because you as a real estate investor will pay them much more than any bank is willing to pay as far as interest goes.
With that being said, this is Dave Payerchin here in the REI Classroom and we're talking private money. We'll see you on the next video.

Posh's 10 style commandments
She might never have been considered a top fashion icon, but that hasn't stopped Victoria Beckham from dispensing her top 10 "style commandments" to English women.india Updated: Mar 06, 2006 19:09 IST
She might never have been considered a top fashion icon, but that hasn't stopped Victoria Beckham from dispensing her top 10 "style commandments" to English women.
In an article for Glamour magazine, she has asked women to concentrate on "visualising the overall look," without revealing too much by dressing skimpily.
"Rather than looking at a pile of clothes first thing in the morning and wondering what the hell I'm going to throw on, I visualise the overall look I'm going for on that particular day, then pull the pieces together. Doing it that way round will transform the way you look at clothes and the way you dress," The Independant quoted the wife of English skipper, as saying.
While rejecting the concept of matching underwear, Posh has stressed on the purchase of several pairs of sunglasses, investment in a baggy jumper in case of sudden weight gain, amongst many other advices.
She also has a plan for "bloated" days.
"When you're having a bloated day, always have some emergency figure flatterers," she said.
"Last season, I invested in some Stella McCartney jumper dresses, which are a godsend for when you're not feeling particularly great about yourself," she added.
Presumably for the days when women are back to their normal figures, she has advised them to wear children's clothes from Gap, made in Japan "because they make everything in tiny sizes".
"I like buying jumpers from Gap Kids and cutting them up because they're so fitted and can look really cool and Seventies-inspired," she said.
"I also wear their T-shirts inside out with a pair of my jeans and a fabulous pair of sunglasses. For me that's a look that just can't go wrong," she added.
Posh's ten commandments, per the paper are:
* Visualise your overall look
* Borrow from the 1950s era
* Shop globally preferably from Japan and New York
* Keep a baggy Stella McCartney jumper dress handy for bad days
* Get the right bags, shoes or sunglasses
* Invest in timeless classics
* Customise by cutting the waistband off jeans. Or wearing
inside-out T-shirts
* Dress from the inside out.
* Trust in the opinions of few friends
* Don't let it all hang out; it's much sexier to leave a little to the imagination
Beckham, who has her own range of "VB" designer jeans and has featured as a catwalk model, cited among her favourite designers Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Dolce and Gabbana and Christian Dior.

During the first stop, they decided Oreos for breakfast. Excellent decision bots. You know what is good.

However, all of their plans turn to dust when they get the news that their embryo won't work. They will soon discover from Dr Lee (Minae Noji) that the embryo is not viable or is missing – and that means their last chance to have another child together is also lost.
Lulu will be left reeling. She was already cheated out of the experience of carrying her own baby when Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) stole one of their embryos and carried son Rocco to birth. Then another embryo was lost when surrogate Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) had a miscarriage.
The Cassadine Island plot was thrown out the window when Nikolas Cassadine portrayer (Tyler Christopher) fell into a rumored contract dispute with the network and the embryo and envelope was supposed to be part of it.
Other upcoming General Hospital spoilers reveal that Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) is back to Port Charles soon and, on September 8, will have some life-changing news for Dante and Lulu. Did Robert go to Cassadine Island to explore after Valentin Cassadine's (James Stuart) arrest?
Instead, she's more likely to find a daughter that was born of the Stavros-Lulu embryo via surrogate and being raised on the Island. Athena was cast months ago with Jazmyn Skye-Vale but we never saw the child because the island plot was thrown into chaos.
So it's likely Robert will turn up with news that will give Dante and Lulu hope that they can have a daughter, even if Lulu once again missed out on carrying the child. It's not quite what they wanted, but it will do.
What do you think GH fans? Will you be heartbroken for Dante and Lulu when they get the news that Lulu can't be implanted because of an embryo issue? Are you excited that she has a daughter out there somewhere?

Nah, everything's cool, I appreciate the looking out though. Thanks.
I was without a computer for about a month or so (May 6 through June 6th) and while I have been keeping up with the podcast and mostly been trying to keep up with the forum, the story I've been writing has been soaking up most of my creative juices lately. I've been posting it over in the fan fic section if you're interested.

Home Seller's: What to Look For in a Real Estate Agent
SELLER's EXPECTATION:
What to Look For in a Real Estate Agent
To start, not all real estate agents operate equally. An effective real estate agent must be passionate, persistent, knowledgeable and work full time. An agents #1 goal is to meet the seller's expectation by taking the time to understand the seller's needs. The agent must sell a home timely, at the right price and with little burden to the homeowner as possible. To this end the following qualities are universally demonstrated by successful real estate agents and demanded by home sellers.
According to a current survey by Qazoo.com and reported by the National Real Estate Post, the #1 complaint from consumers about a real estate agent is their lack of communication skills. A real estate agent must be balanced. They must be a good listener and a good teacher. As important, a real estate agent must be responsive. At your first meeting the real estate agent should inquire how you best like to communicate- by telephone, email, text or other.
Honesty is the best policy and it helps to keep life simple. The truth will always be revealed. Honesty is about being transparent sharing the truth no matter the cost. Sadly, at times the truth is stretched or not shared because a real estate agent hopes to protect their self- interest or the seller's feelings. For example, a real estate agent will advise a seller their home is worth more than the market will bear. The agent does this to either secure the listing (self-interest) or to not upset the seller. Either way ultimately the seller loses as their home will linger on the market for too long and inevitably sell for a reduced price.
A real estate agent needs to have a strong understanding of market dynamics and people. Your real estate agent must help you identify your needs to successfully navigate the selling process for your advantage. It is imperative that your agent knows how to handle the challenges that will arise when selling a home, for example, how to work with a demanding buyer or the consequence of not disclosing known impediments.
Once you are confident a prospective real estate agent embodies the above qualities make sure to inquire about a sales and marketing system. Studies confirm home sellers want to work with real estate agents that apply a comprehensive system to sell a home.

The Home Buyer is Now in Control
In the 1990's the business of real estate home buyer sales representation was developed.
The advent of the real estate Buyer Agent provided a home buyer with the option to contract for representation. A Buyer Agent is a real estate broker that represents and works solely for the buyer in a real estate transaction. The buyer agent owes his/her obedience, loyalty, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting and reasonable care to the home buyer. But does a home buyer really care or need a buyer agent?
In 2005 there was another major real estate shift with the launch of Zillow. Real estate listing portals like Zillow and Trulia have forever changed the influence of the Buyer Agent. By making listings public facing Zillow has essentially stripped the Buyer Agent of any value to the home buyer. No longer does the Buyer Agent control the listing information. Home buyers are now in control. Using Zillow a home buyer can conveniently search on the internet for a home, on their own time and terms. In fact, a Buyer Agent is not needed at all. Thanks to Zillow most home buyers can find a home on their own.
In 2015 all a home buyer simply needs is a competent lender, an attorney to review documents, and a good home inspector.

Home Sellers in Massachusetts Want to Know
How long will my home be on the market before a willing and able home buyer makes an offer?
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) a home in Massachusetts can expect to be on the market between 45-60 days.
But if you live in Middlesex County- in these selected communities- Chelmsford, Westford, Concord, Carlisle, Lowell, and Billerica, you can expect your home to be on the market 98.73 days according to the MLS.
The secret to selling a home fast and maximizing profit is outlined in the 4 P's of Selling a Home.
If you want to put even more money in your pocket, use a full service real estate agent that breaks the commission mold and charges a FIXED FEE (no commission) and passes the savings to you.

Where are Home Sellers and Renters Going?
According to the statistics from the most current census, Florida is the hot GOTO state. In fact, from July 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014 seven of the nation's top 50 population gaining metro areas are in Florida. Number 2 on the list is Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, which encompasses The Villages, which now has a total population of 114,000. Overall Florida is the nation's third most populous state.
- Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach (with a one-year gain of about 66,000).
- Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford (about 50,000).
- Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (about 41,000).
- Jacksonville (about 23,000).
- Cape Coral-Fort Myers (about 18,000).
- North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton (about 16,000).
- Lakeland-Winter Haven (about 11,000).
Consistent over time Americans are migrating for similar reasons as existed prior to the housing crisis. People want a combination of good weather, affordable housing and job opportunities. If any place, like Florida, combines these factors, home buyers and renters will flock.
This spring if you're thinking of selling your home don't give your home equity away. Put more money in your pocket. Save 1000's of dollars and never compromise service.
Use a FIXED FEE, FULL SERVICE real estate broker.
Simple Supply and Demand: Real Estate Inventories are Down, Real Estate Prices are up.
The National Association of Realtors reported yesterday February's existing home sales increased modestly.
Home prices are up 7.5% YoY. Days on Market is down. Homes are selling faster and for more money. As expected the Northeast existing home sale numbers were blanched due to extreme weather conditions. However home sales still recorded a 3.6 percent rise compared to one year ago and the median sales price of $241,800 is 3.3 percent above a year ago.
If you are thinking of selling your home this Spring, NOW is the time to contact your local real estate broker. Be the first to market and capitalize on low inventory. If you want to put even more money in your pocket LIST your home with a FULL SERVICE, FIXED FEE real estate broker. Don't needlessly give your hard earned home equity away.
Your Choice Your Way
Zillow's Formula for Success is a Balancing Act
Back in August of 2014, I wrote a blog highlighting the genius of Zillow and Spencer Rascoff. In that blog I described how Zillow had commandeered consumer eyeballs (website traffic) using their Zestimate tool and then pivoted to monetize the Zillow website with ad revenue from real estate brokers. As a business model catering to investors it is absolutely brilliant. However the consequence of this new model is that Zillow has forsaken the real estate home seller and home buyer. Zillow uses home buyers and sellers (eyeballs) to seduce real estate brokers to advertise and list on Zillow. Sadly, Zillow has morphed into a simple real estate listing website offering the very best consumer infotainment.
The internet is real estate's amazing consumer tool. It is credited with unlocking the coveted information that home sellers and buyers demand- a public facing real estate listing service. In 2015 a home buyer will find any one home listed on multiple sites. Try it yourself— conduct a Google search and enter "homes for sale" and a zip code. For example, Homes For Sale 33138 returns organic results in ranking order from Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com and Redfin. The first three are listing services and Redfin is a real estate broker that seemingly scrapes listings from other brokers in hopes of engaging a home buyer to be their client.
Now Zillow, once again, is trying to rebalance their website as a more consumer friendly platform using a figuratively improved Zestimate. Last week I overheard a city building inspector sharing why he thought Zillow had reengineered their Zestimate and what it actually means to the consumer. According to the building inspector, Zillow's number one goal is to attract and increase the number of unique visitors on their website. In this effort they have announced a new Zestimate tool. It is now possible for any homeowner to modify their Zillow home listing and instantly recalculate their homes value or Zestimate. What Fun!
He then shared another alarming Zillow fact. Zillow is in bed with the federal government too. Zillow's Chief Economist Stan Humphries helps the federal government by "unleashing vast troves of Zillow data in hopes of promoting better decision making." (Andrea Brambila, Inman News, March 6, 2015). The building inspector says BEWARE: Municipal governments may also take notice of Zillow's data, especially the revamped Zestimate. Throughout many communities it's the Board of Assessors responsibility to maintain residential and commercial property valuations at full and fair cash values. Now Zillow's Zestimate could make this taxing authority easier.
Imagine on a Saturday night a homeowner innocently visits the Zillow website. For entertainment he modifies his housing data with updated information that significantly increases his Zestimate value. Many months later (January) the same homeowner receives his yearly recalculated property tax assessment and remarkably his property value has increased. The taxpayer is confused and frustrated and does not understand why his local taxing authority now expects the homeowner to pay more in real estate property tax- What changed? He did not pull a building permit or improve his house in any way. Clearly the homeowner does not recall that particular Saturday night, so many months ago, when he revised his Zestimate for fun. When he willfully told Zillow (and the government) he had an unreported extra ½ bath and a bedroom. Do you think the homeowner has a chance to win a tax abatement? No way.
So what do you think, will Zillow still be a market leader in 5 years? That remains to be seen but clearly a revamped Zestimate is not the balance home buyers, home sellers or the market needs.

January is always a tough month for real estate sales and this year is really no different.
But how bad is it? Are we worse off than last January 2014?
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) the real estate market is off to a slow start but only if you look at month to month numbers. Overall the market is chugging along year over year. What the market needs now is more inventory. Inventory is down (-1.58%), mainly due to weather considerations.
"Although sales cooled in January, home prices continued solid year-over-year growth", says Larry Yun, the NAR chief economists, "the labor market and economy are markedly improved to a year ago, which supports stronger buyer demand."

A (Real) Real Estate Disruption: Market Model Competition
This week I read an article about the struggling relationship between the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and Tesla. In some ways this conflict parallels the most recent friction in Denver, Colorado between REcolorado (Multiple Listing Service) and Trelora, a Denver residential real estate sales company. Both Tesla and Trelora are trying to disrupt the existing sales model in their respected industry and challenge the status quo. In Trelora's case, the company on their website highlighted REcolorado's proprietary information and noted the tremendous cost savings achieved using Trelora's flat fee model versus a commission sales model.
Since 1850 the real estate market in the United States has recognized only one model for the conveyance of residential real estate- the traditional broker commission sales model. The real estate broker has controlled the monumental scepter- the home listing- which chiefly empowers the real estate broker to decide when, how and who can sell or buy real estate. Some industry pundits have noted the internet and listing portals like Zillow Group- (Zillow and Trulia), and others are breaking the real estate broker's stronghold over the consumer.
Really? Or is it just smoke and mirrors?
The reality is these sites make home listings available to the public, but still everything remains controlled by the commissioned real estate broker. In fact even Zillow bowed down to the commissioned real estate broker. What started as a consumer real estate disruption is proving to be a great disappointment. Recently Zillow shifted gears and their revenue model is now dependent upon the advertising of commissioned real estate agents/brokers that are called premier agents.
Obviously public facing real estate listing platforms underwritten by commissioned brokers are not what they appear to be- a (real) real estate disruption.
A (real) real estate disruption is a market model permeation in the form of increased COMPETITION. Competition that demands real estate brokers to reduce the cost to transact real estate e.g. commission or fee based, without sacrificing the quality or quantity of service delivered to the consumer. Real estate consumers do not want less service they want to pay less for the service. They want full service real estate brokers to compete on service delivery costs. Consumers want to put more money in their pocket and not in the pocket of the real estate broker.
COMPETITION is the (real) real estate market disruption and the traditional commissioned real estate broker can't compete. Just ask REcolorado.

The goalkeeper looked certain to depart Old Trafford in the summer after initially turning down United's offer of a new deal.
Real Madrid had been pursuing the 24-year-old and agreed a fee for his services on the last day of the Spanish transfer window.
But the deal collapsed after the relevant paperwork was not filed before the La Liga deadline.
talkSPORT revealed on Thursday that De Gea had subsequently decided to commit his future to United.
And now he has put pen-to-paper on a four-year contract, with the option of a further year – news which will delight fans of the Premier League club.
De Gea said on his new deal: "I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career.
"I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans. Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career.
"I'm looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful."
Van Gaal added: "I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football.
"I am very pleased that he will be part of the team for many years to come.
"David made a very important contribution to our performance last season and he has been the club's Player of the Year for the last two seasons. He is a popular player who is keen to learn and enhance his game.
"At such a young age for a goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him."
Sergio Romero has played in United's six games this season but he now looks certain to make way for De Gea for Saturday's visit of Liverpool.

At about 12:50 p.m. on June 10, 2009, 88-year-old white supremacist James Wenneker von Brunn entered the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. with a rifle and fatally shot Museum Special Police Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns. Other security guards returned fire, wounding von Brunn, who was apprehended.[1][4][5][6]
Von Brunn was charged in federal court on June 11, 2009, with first-degree murder and firearms violations.[7] On July 29, 2009, von Brunn was indicted by a federal grand jury on seven counts, including four which made him eligible for the death penalty; the charges included hate crime counts.[8][9] In September 2009, a judge ordered von Brunn to undergo a competency evaluation to determine whether or not he could stand trial.[10] On January 6, 2010, von Brunn died of natural causes while awaiting trial.[11]
Von Brunn was a white supremacist and Holocaust denier. He had previously been convicted of entering a federal building with various weapons in 1981 while trying to place the members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, who he considered to be treasonous, under citizen's arrest.[6][12]
The Holocaust Museum has been a target for antisemites and Holocaust deniers since it was established in 1993. In 2002, federal prosecutors said two white supremacists plotted to blow up the museum with a fertilizer bomb, as was used to blow up a federal building in Oklahoma in 1995.[13]
At about 12:49 p.m., 88-year-old James von Brunn[14][15][16] drove his car to the 14th Street entrance of the museum.[1][7] Von Brunn entered the museum when Museum Special Police Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns opened the door for him.[17] Authorities said he raised a Winchester Model 1906 .22-caliber rifle[2] and shot Special Police Officer Johns,[4][5] who later died of his injuries at the George Washington University Hospital.[3] Two other Special Police Officers stationed with Officer Johns, Harry Weeks and Jason "Mac" McCuiston, returned fire, wounding von Brunn with a shot to the face.[18] According to police officers at the scene, a third person was injured by broken glass but refused treatment at the hospital.[3]
Immediate aftermath[edit]
The Washington Post reported that "if it weren't for the quick response of the private guards on duty, more people could have been killed or wounded." Mayor Adrian Fenty stated that the officers' efforts "to bring this gunman down so quickly ... saved the lives of countless people... This could have been much, much worse."[19] Inside, the museum was crowded with visiting schoolchildren.[4] Museum officials said that "the entire incident unfolded in approximately two minutes."[20]
After the shooting, the nearby U.S. Department of Agriculture Administration Building, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the USDA's Sidney R. Yates Federal Building were closed.[21] Portions of 14th Street and Independence Avenue in the Southwest quadrant were closed until later in the night.[22] The car driven by von Brunn was found double parked in front of the museum and tested for explosives.[23]
Police said they found a notebook on von Brunn that contained a list of District locations, including the Washington National Cathedral; they dispatched bomb squads to at least 10 sites.[24] The notebook also contained this passage, signed by von Brunn: "You want my weapons—this is how you'll get them. The Holocaust is a lie. Obama was created by Jews. Obama does what his Jew owners tell him to do. Jews captured America's money. Jews control the mass media. The 1st Amendment is abrogated henceforth."[7]
The FBI and Washington, D.C. police chief Cathy L. Lanier said that it appeared von Brunn was acting alone at the time of the shooting, and the FBI said it had no knowledge of any threat against the museum.[25][26] The museum's director of security said they receive threats, but "nothing this significant recently".[13]
Possible motives[edit]
Several news agencies have noted the timing of the June 10 shooting; it came shortly after Obama's June 5 visit to and speech at the Buchenwald concentration camp,[27] and that "President Obama's recent visit to the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, in Germany, may have set off the shooter."[28]
On his website, von Brunn stated that his conviction in the 1980s was by "a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys" and that he was "sentenced to prison for eleven years by a Jew judge." A Court of Appeals denied his appeal.[15]
Special Police Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns (October 4, 1969 – June 10, 2009), a Temple Hills, Maryland native, was an employee of Wackenhut who was, at the time of the shooting, stationed at the door of the museum when von Brunn entered with a .22 caliber long rifle and shot him. He later died at the George Washington University Hospital. His funeral was held on June 19, 2009 at Ebenezer AME Church in Fort Washington, Maryland, with 2,000 attendees,[29] and he was subsequently interred. Johns was married to Zakiah Johns (since May 2008) with a son, Stephen Johns, Jr., and two stepsons, Jeffrey Pollard and Tysean Lawson-Bey.[30] The American Jewish Committee established a memorial fund for the family.[31]
James W. von Brunn died in prison while awaiting trial on January 6, 2010.[6] He was in poor health and suffered from congestive heart failure and sepsis.[6]
Following his death, the Washington Post notes: "His guilt was never in serious doubt -- the shooting was witnessed by dozens of people, it was captured on surveillance video and the assailant was carted away in an ambulance -- but some had hoped to glean some insights into von Brunn's psyche during the court process. Many, including Johns's relatives, remain shocked that anyone could be filled with so much hatred that he would shoot a helpful security guard at a museum that serves as a memorial to the slaughter of millions of people."[6]
Witnesses and events at the museum[edit]
Present at the museum during the shooting was former United States Secretary of Defense William Cohen, awaiting his wife Janet Langhart; the two were at the museum for the premiere of Langhart's one-act play, Anne and Emmett. The play imagines a conversation between two teenagers, Nazi victim Anne Frank and Jim Crow victim Emmett Till. Her play was to be presented in honor of the eightieth anniversary of Anne Frank's birth.[32]
The Israeli embassy in Washington condemned the attack. U.S. President Barack Obama said, "This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms."[33][34]
The Southern Poverty Law Center, Anti-Defamation League, and FBI stated they had been monitoring von Brunn's Internet postings, but were unable to take action because his comments had not crossed the line from free speech into illegal threats or incitement.[35][36]
On June 11, 2009, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington and the InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington led a prayer vigil which took place in front of the museum to honor Stephen Johns, the slain officer.[37] Approximately 100 people attended the event, including officials from the Israeli and German embassies.[38] The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the attack as well.[24] When the museum reopened on June 12, 2009, Director Sara Bloomfield said attendance was normal or even higher than usual. Many visitors said their attendance was a statement against hate and intolerance. A 17-year-old girl who was in the museum the day of the shooting stated, "It's important to come back, because if you don't, they win. It's a form of terrorism."[39]
On the white nationalist Internet forum Stormfront, some users criticized von Brunn's actions, saying they hurt the forum's cause. Others supported him in threads that were later removed.[40]

Microtrend Monday: The One Thing That's Different About 2018's Coolest Jeans
When it comes to embroidered denim, fashion has leaned towards flowery and pretty of late—but 2018's topstitch trend is pretty much the opposite of that. Instead of pretty colourful embellishes to dresses, jeans, and tops, this is all about pockets and seams being highlighted by a contrasting colour. While the look might have its roots in workwear and a more utilitarian style, this year it's getting sophisticated.
On the S/S 18 catwalks of Temperley London, Sportmax, and 3.1. Phillip Lim, there was plenty of purposefully visible topstitching to be seen on chic belted jackets and sundresses, in addition to the many brands getting behind the idea on denim. Our favourite French fashion influencer, Jeanne Damas, has also recently picked up on the subtle microtrend too, choosing a retro-look chambray shirt to share on Instagram.
The best and easiest way to jump on this look is to invest in one of the many pairs of topstitched jeans we've spotted on the high street. If, however, you're looking for designer, fear not Calvin Klein and Miu Miu have also created their own versions. Keep scrolling to see and shop the new detail we're into.
It's easy to follow this trend with Mango's classic jeans.
These are so cool and such a bargain.
Trust Topshop to come up with a version.
Red stitching for a slightly different take on the trend.
ASOS offers up another pair.
Into white jeans? Miu Miu has you covered.

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, lived a fairy queen. And damn she was happy about being queen. Being queen was everything. And she lived alone and she was happy and she was queen.
Once upon another time, this son-of-a-sawn-off entered a kingdom. She was still alone and yet his presence meant that her aloneness had taken on another meaning. And this angered her.
And so she climbed the highest tree in the far-off land, and she waved her aloneness away with her embroidered Etsy-purchased twee hankerchief.
And that was about it. She never told the son-of-a-sawn-off that she wanted to spend the rest of her life living with him in a queen-size bed, and never leave, and be fed through tubes if she had to, and bounce on the bed if exercise was a must.
She never told that son-of-a-sawn-off because she, in her queen-of-hearts, did not believe that this son would take her hand, and lead her down to the garden, and say nothing, and mean everything.
It's when you speak that I am frightened, you see. It scares me. I am not brave. I am born this instant, dreadfully, and with a hunger. Reach.

I have always loved myths and legends. It comes from appreciating a good story and all the things that go into the very best storytelling. The mixed media artwork of Julie Buffalohead shares stories of all types, blending personal narratives and metaphors, as well as cultural ones. But the artist complicates her paintings and drawings by using animals to enact her narratives, essentially making up new and contemporary fables that are playful on one hand but also touch on more serious issues of motherhood, childhood, and Native American stereotypes and identity.
|Hostage by Julie Buffalohead, mixed media on paper, 2008, 19 x 25.5.
Buffalohead casts all kinds of animals in her stories. Ravens and coyotes play significant roles in Native American culture and stories, but unicorns and teddy bears appear in the artist's mixed media paintings as well. In Hostage, a wolf holds a unicorn up for viewing to a mix of stuffed animals and wild critters that stand watching. The innocuousness of the scene contrasts with the expectation of the dire alarm one expects from the title. Yet this "hostage" situation can be understood by people in all stages of life, from kids who feel that adults hold all the power, to adults who are trapped in situations that are hemming them in. Buffalohead channels it all through her art.
|Sour Cherries by Julie Buffalohead, 24 x 33.5, mixed media on paper.
The resulting works are charming and enjoyable to view on one hand but also loaded with meaning as you spend more time with them. The artist voices what is going on in her life and in her head through devices we can all relate to and, on a basic level, understand.
Buffalohead is one of many artists who has found a way to tell her stories her way. Just about every issue of Southwest Art profiles painters and sculptors who share this commonality. It is a great resource for artists who have a penchant for collecting, as well as for those of us who just like to know who is out there in the contemporary art scene in the region. Your copy of the latest issue is available now. Enjoy!
