I've been thinking about things and doing more research and making offers on houses. I haven't had anything accepted yet. I can't wait until the day it does get accepted!
But, I've been doing things in between my work schedule, juggling kids and every other thing. Trying to accomplish things.
I see very little bandit signs in Oregon and have been mostly working off of Craig's list and other available resources to find buyer's and sellers in Oregon.
Wish me luck! Still lots to do to be successful but am making steps and taking action every day to accomplish goals!

I've been wheeling and dealing with my best friend on her house. They both want to sell but her husband is being quite a poop about it. She hates living there because it's so cramped and her husband says they have to stay for another 8 and a half months! She has too many grandchildren that are living with her and I thought it might be a possibility to get her to sell.
We will see.
Bids on other houses. I'm slowly getting over this shyness thing I need to conquer and am actually finding out this is quite fun! Loving it!

I signed up and I am going to Dean's seminar! YAY! It's here in Oregon and close enough for me to get to if I have to walk or take a cab! I will get there! I'm happy now.
So I've been doing lots of networking and lots of property finding but nothing has panned out, yet. I've got people looking for properties all over the place in Salem that aren't on MLS or anything. I've been looking for For Sale signs and my kids have been looking for For Sale signs now every time we step out of the house.
Got some flyers put up on bulletin boards and working with word-of-mouth mostly.
Something's bound to happen! Something good and we aren't giving up until it does! I'm stubborn that way!

I love this networking stuff. I've been getting a team together of people who have great buyers and no properties so I can do my property searches for them.
I've got one lady on this site with me that's from Oregon and she is awesome! I've got another lady that has buyers and needs help with her searches. (something that I really want to do!)I don't have great credit, pretty lousy really.....Matt said it right "Credit's in the crapper" so no banks will look at me. Not yet, I have goals. Baby steps. Baby steps. I've accomplished a great deal this weekend.

I spent yesterday looking at houses. Early this morning we drove around looking for that "Special house." We had an offer for a Manufactured home deal made to us, personally, but it's too expensive. They said if we got it we'd have to live in that park and the park is too expensive. It pretty much doubles our rent money and I don't want to do that! If I were to do that it would be a real live house for us and well worth that kind of personal investment. So still looking there....still looking for the magical deal.
There are some condemned houses around here but fixing and flipping them would cost too much money.
We'll try again tomorrow.

Something I've been thinking about......kind of in the box and out of the box all at the same time. We are so busy making buyers and sellers list and I'm thinking.....aren't we all buyers and sellers on this wonderful DG site? Shouldn't we be asking people on this site to be on our buyers and sellers lists? I mean, really, if I were to sell a house I would love to sell it to someone here so they could make their first deal and earn the $$$ rather than some stranger. It was just a thought!
