Thoughts and Prayers to all involved!

In business, time management is never about managing time. Time is a known and stable factor. It can't be managed; it can only be acknowledged or ignored, according to how much you appreciate its importance. If your're late for a meeting it's probably not because some unavoidable obstacle put itself in your way. It's because you didn't allow for the obstacle. You didn't spend time thinking about the obstacle. And if you didn't spend time thinking about the obstacle, your're not showing respect for the people your're doing business with. In other words, you are the obstacle. Because being on time is easy. Respecting time is the tricky part. There are many opportunities to be late or on time. There is no skill. There is nothing to learn.

1. The complete and proper names of the buyer and seller. Identify whether they are individuals, corporations, LLC partnerships, etc.
2. A proper and complete description of the property.
3. The purchase price.
4. The financial terms of the purchase whether it be by cash, contract, trust deed or mortgage assumption, or exchange.
5. The amount and form of the earnest money receipted
6. The conditions to purchase and contingencies.
7.Title review and title insurance
8. The closing date and time of delivery.
9 The condition the property is to be in when delivered at closing.
10. Specify the personal property that is to be transferred with the real property at closing
11. How much time the seller has to accept the buyer's offer.

As in life, it is helpful if someone will take you under his or her wing and help you out. Many people peak well below their potential because they never thoroughly learned the fundamentals of the real estate business. So get a good mentor
How do you find a good mentor? The best and surest way to succeed is to learn from someone who is successful. When selecting a mentor, ask yoursel: Is he or she making money? Does he or she have a good reputation? Does he or she do a lot of business? Does he or she have a reputation for honesty? Be aware that the top producers resist taking on neophytes because they gain little from the relationship. Or Dean has a whole team of coaches or mentor that are out there doing there own busisness you can look into

Think Positive: Monitor your thoughts and become more aware of your self-talk. If you hear negative thoughts, notice them, and then choose to replace them with a positive mind-set.
Be Ready for Negaive Self Talk: Become very aware of that inner voice that says you should just quit and give up. One of the most powerful things you can do is to simply raise your awareness and recognize when it is happening. Just by naming the negative self-talk alone, it will help you consciously decide what you need to do.
Believe that anything is possible and that you deserve the best.
Be aware of your inner critic. That voice that says, "I'm wasting my time in calling leads. Notice the limiting thought, and then decide on the right action to take.

Those who get more done in less time get more out of life . . . more rewards, more success, and more free time to pursue their dreams and enjoy themselves.

In fact, you’ll discover from success expert Brian Tracy, that “the quality of your life is largely determined by the quality of your time management.”

You don’t have to be cold and calculating to be well organized. Time mastery does not mean letting the clock rule your life. In fact, the very opposite is true: time mastery gives you the absolute freedom to do what you want, when you want to do it. Ironically, you even learn to make time for spontaneity. The more time you make for yourself, the more free time you’ll have.
Use positive self-talk and affirmations to change your self-conceptions about time

A Contract for Deed is often used as an alternative means of financing the purchase price of property. The buyer does not receive an actual deed until payments are made under the terms of the Contract for Deed agreement.
If you have been wondering how to purchase a house but can't qualify for a mortgage, a contract for deed may be right for you. A contract for deed is a lease of real property in which the payments can ultimately be applied to purchase of the property. The deed isn't transferred until the agreed upon total payments have been made. Therefore, it is a form of seller financing, and rent paid may be thought of as installment payment toward purchase of the property. It is also referred to as a rent to own lease agreement or land contract.

We often point out that a buyer should be more concerned about the COST of a home rather than the PRICE. Price obviously is a component of cost. However, unless you buy all-cash, you must also be concerned about the financing of the purchase. The price and the financing together determine the cost of a home. Today, we want to look at only the financing piece.

An opportunity exists today because of recent government involvement; an opportunity that may never again be available in our lifetimes. There has been much discussion about what role the federal government should have in supporting homeownership. We will leave our opinions on the debate for another time. However, we want to alert you to two advantages available to a purchaser today that may disappear in the future:

There is an interesting phenomenon taking place in the real estate market. While house prices are falling, the rich are starting to purchase. DataQuick Information Systems reported last week that sales on homes $1 million or more rose 18.6% last year after four consecutive years of decline. This is at the same time that sales outside of this price point actually fell 2.8%.

And even more amazing is that homes over $5 million have also increased substantially. Housing Wire reported that:

In 2010, 975 homes sold in this bracket, up nearly 14% from the year prior.

The purchase of a home is a personal decision. However, we want to give everyone four great financial reasons why you should not wait before taking the plunge into homeownership.

Interest Rates Are Increasing

Interest rates have increased almost 3/4 of a point in the last six months. Most experts expect rates to continue to increase through the year. Interest rates along with price determine the overall cost of a home. Even with prices softening, if interest rates rise, it may be less expensive to buy now rather than wait.
