OfflineWeek One
This is it, our first week as active real estate investors. We, my husband Bill and I, attended Boots on the Ground led by Joe and Stacey Jurek. They were inspirational not only because of the information they provided and the golden nuggets, but because they are from Chicago and Indiana, just like us. If someone local can do it, we can do it, too.
We are using Dean's book 30 Days to Real Estate Cash as our blueprint. All of the info we have gotten is a bit overwhelming and this book tells you what to do each week. Very clear and straightforward. We beef it up/ supplement it with what we learned with Joe and of course all the info we get here at DG.com.
This week we are calling real estate agents and trying to find someone who has an investor mindset, someone who will be a valuable member of our Power Team. We are also starting our Buyer's List. As Roy, a coach, has posted, just stick with the basics in the beginning( a good Buyer's List and Motivated Sellers) and we'll do fine. This is way for us to make our dreams come true. We will not fail.
Completed all the assignments for 30 Days to Real Estate Cash. We have come to the realization that we have to spread out a bit. There just isn't much happening in our little town.
After talking with a coach on the advisory line, I took a more active approach to finding cash buyers. I called all the people on craigslist listed under the search We Buy Houses. The good news is I qualified three buyers and it was not as scary as I had made it out to be. It's true what Dean says. These cash buyers are more than glad to hear from us. Who wouldn't want a good deal coming their way. I'll continue building my buyers list and start finding some really motivated sellers, too.
