My Deals

Yesterday was a BIG day for me. I signed up a lease option tenant. We collected $50000.00 as a nonrefundale consideration fee!! Yippee. Funny I had written down month ago that a goal I wanted to reach was to make 50,000.00 before the end of this year and I did it!!!! This whole deal took me a month to put together but I did it by myself!!!
I can do it...
This was complicated deal but it is done and I really got my company out of a bind.

Just had to share..Before I left on vacation I did all the paperwork necessary to sell two and buy one, and they all went off without a hitch while I'm relaxing on the beach in Mexico with friends! How cool is that?! While I havent done nearly as many deals as Deans top students since starting in 08, the ones I have done have gotten me doing this full time and financially independent. Its been alot of hard work and lots of dedication, but keep your eyes on the prize, keep hurdling over all the challenges and you can achieve your goals too!

This is a deal that took place a few weeks ago... I have been so busy with rehabbing another property that I am getting to this a little late.

We wholesaled a property here in the Twin Cities, MN that we made $10,000 on and another one, also in the Twin Cities, MN that we made $1,000 on so it was more like a birddog than a wholesale.

First thing to mention is that we found out about both properties from bandit signs. There has been some interest about the bandit signs from a civic group around here so I am not being more specific as to location.

Started with DG family in June, went to Las Vegas Buying Summit and met some great investors that motivated me. Offered bank 50% off MV and am waiting for acceptance. I would love for South Floridians to start our own investment group, ie Michael Lopez if you're up for it, you are most likely the most qualified. Good Luck everyone and keep reading, keep making those offers.

On Friday I closed on one of my rent to own properties. 20 months ago I bought a house and put a tenant buyer in it (the same day) have been collecting rent and cash flowing $295/mo. She worked on her credit and on September 21st she bought the property. A little over 18k was wired to my bank account! She was very appreciative of the opportunity and I was happy with the result! It was definitely a win/win.

I am going to miss the monthly rent check though....

Ok, so for the past 2 months i have been so consumed by this. I have read, and re-read deans books more times that i can count. Everyday i wake up at 6 am and start the process of looking at craigslist, or other real estate sites and try to find FSBO adds that i can make offers on. I look on deans site for more info, and i look at the videos and i just try to soak as much information in as i can. For the last couple of days i have been second guessing myself about whether i can do this or not. I think that i am getting so consumed with it that i am just making things harder for myself. I am thinking on it too much and making things harder than they have to be. Im forgetting the steps. I want to focus on lease options and assignments.

I was recently contacted by one of our local bank's presidents. He stated that he saw some of my signs that I buy houses and was wondering if I would be interested in some that they have accquired. I told him that I would and asked him to send me the details.

I was on the road to RE success or at least getting started in May 2009 and LIFE happened to me !

Well the NEVER GIVE UP mantra has always been my attitude and I checked in periodically, on DG.com,...knowing I would get back to it and WIN & more importantly, HELP OTHERS WIN !

My official RESET DATE is 9/10/2012 and I just ordered " 30 Days to RE CASH " , TODAY 9/20/2012. I watched all the IE videos & webcasts. Didn't have IE money right now,....but I refuse to allow money the be an issue ~ any longer.

To quote Dean: " Be Disturbed with where you are now, So it can push you to where you want to GO "

I'll see each of you at the TOP,

Mark

Congratulations and Thank You For Your Order!

I just closed my 5th deal, 2nd wholesale deal. This story is a true case of you can make money on any house, any condition. So a couple of weeks back I get a call off of one of bandit signs. Guy wants to sell his house, so I meet him there. This thing is in a pretty rundown part of the Fort Worth Metroplex and I am not kidding when I say I wouldn't store my Harley in it. Really! So he says he would like to get $11k for it, I offer $5k. I come up to $7k a few minutes later. He says no, I leave. A few days later I call him back intending to offer him $8k, he says hey man, I was just getting ready to call you and was wondering if you would take $8k?
