Wow!!! Yesterday was such an amazing and uplifting day! It started with an e-mail from our Realtor coming in at 6:30 am with the cash buyers list I had asked her to mail me and the results were WAY better than I had expected. This gave me a boost to get going into the rest of the day. Next on the agenda was a workshop/housing expo/house tour in a local community where we are looking to start out in our REI venture. We toured some nice houses, got some great info and made even greater connections. Later on we were supposed to go see a property we are interested in for our primary residence but it never happened because the listing agent did not return any phone calls, more about this later

Tomorrow marks 4 weeks that I have attended one of DG's free events just to keep my husband company, not thinking that I myself would be getting anything out of it BUT it's been quite interesting to realize what has happened to me since I have not read as much as I have over the past few weeks since before I got married 22 yrs ago and I just can't stop. We have looked at some properties physically and LOTS of them online. We have our real estate agent in place, starting to fill the buyers bucket and I am READY to go and dive into the deep end. I am so very anxious to get my first deal done, I can hardly stand it but I am so scared at the same time.

It's been two weeks today since I registered at the website and three weeks since my husband and I went to a free seminar where I learned about the program for myself for the first time. My husband has been following Dean for a while and already had two of his books along side some other material. Real estate has always interested me but seemed too complicated at the same time. I don't know what happened but I can't get my mind off it any more. I am simultaneously reading two of dean's books (one in hard copy and the other one in audio format) I have been studying our local market with the understanding I have gained from the books so far and today we physically looked at the first two properties we might take into consideration.
