Sidney's Success Journal

Sidney's Success Journal

Just recieved my books today and strangely felt like Christmas morning?! After my first hour and 30 pages later, I had to stop to start my journal. For starting something that is entirely foreign to me, I feel I should be doing this,... I Can Do This ! Eerily the excitement hasn't left ?! There is no turning back. Success, on my terms is the Greatest Victory. I am here to learn and share in our Triumphs together.

Just getting started

Sidney-
I felt the same way when I got all my stuff. I was so excited but at the same time very nervous and scared. There is just so much knowledge out there. I love it!!! I am very overwhelmed - where should I start? I guess I'll just take one day at a time.
Happy reading,
Susie


Entry 2- first week in ... Amazing !!!

I have read materials and made a few contacts, but to my amazement, I place an add for buyers and sellers on a free listing site. One response for buyers looking for residential and storefronts in areas in my city. For sellers, two responses ...(1) a property with 10 acres. Contacting them today. But # 2 a 2 story brick, 3 BR listed at 27 K for quick sale by owner. APV is 53K . I called and offered 13, 800. Hes accepted !!! Meeting Tomorrow to lock up deal. No taxes due or liens. Owner moving to AZ. I told him I could close 30-45 days. Hes was fine with that. it came so easy, anything I should look for ?

Well done, Sidney-- if title is clear and there's no structural issues you should be good! Does your offer give you a due diligence or inspection period? (It should) That would give you the opportunity to pay for an inspection if you need it-- or run an ad for GC's and set up 4 to meet up you there at one time-- you should end up with 3 free non-certified "inspections" at no cost. Then you feel better about your $40K instant equity. Get that puppy sold!

So cool.

Thanks for the advice

Have inspector meeting me at property Friday. Put inspection clause in contract, giving me an additional 7 days. Clear title. Had 157.00 taxes due which owner paid today. Ready to roll ! Put bandit signs up today. Thanks for your help Tina about inspection. With the excitement, knew I was missing something. Just so happens there are 2 more properties for sale across the street and client i just locked up is introducing me to owner on Friday ! I'm Blessed ! Can it really be this easy ?

Oh it is that easy, when you know the secrets Dean teaches us!

If it wasn't for our own Dean, where would we be?

He gives us the tools and the path to freedom. If we're lucky enough to "get it" it works fast, huh? It's just like math-- it's all base 10.

Great great job! Now give us more details:
FSBO
Good buy
Decent shape
So, are you going to hold or flip (wholesale) or ???

Thank you for the kind words.
-Tina
