HI EVERYONE

JUST DID 2 DOUBLE CLOSING IN 1 WEEK, ALL WITH OUT ANY CASH OUT OF MY POCKET. LETS MAKE THIS YEAR A YEAR TO REALLY REMEMBER

Hi

Deal 4 was a double closing. I got this deal for 30k from the mls and was able to turn it around in 2 days for 38k. Most of my deals come from the mls so I put over 30 offers a week.

Deal 5 & 6 the latest properties I got under contract. I got both these houses on 2/22/2012. deal 5 I have under contract for 37k and I sold it in a few minutes for 43k. Deal 6 i got under contract for 23k and was able to sell it in 3 days for 34k. Im almost at the point that I no longer see these houses and that is so awesome, I feel like Carol doing most of the selling and buying over the internet. Im going to start a mail campaign for home owners with high equity, so I will keep you all posted on the outcome. I want to average 5 or more deals a month.

Hi Everyone

Deal 2 was my first attempt to do a rehab flip. I bought the house for 32k using OPM, the house ARV was 125k. This house had a bunch of liens but the bank paid it off at time of closing (Thank goodness lol) I had to rehab this house with legal permits due to city had information of all ilegal violations. I started getting all the permits inorder to start the rehab project. Just when my contractor was about to start this project he got real sick and couldn't work. a few weeks passed by and still no contractor. I learned from the coaches in DG that we make our money on the purchase and not the sale, I sold the house as soon as the contractor told me that he will be out for a few months. One of my buyers took this house of my hands for 50k.

Hi

I have been a DG student since 10/2008. I read the books and did my online pmi training but never took ACTION! on the Knowledge I was learning. Life and the wrong mentally got the best of me for 2 years. On 10/27/2010 I said to myself it's now or never. I enrolled for the second time in DG courses. I needed fast cash so I studied assignments of contract. I took massive ACTION! and landed my first deal in 29 days, I got a seller from one of my bandit signs, I offered the seller 155k and the seller accepted. I sold the home in 1 day to one of my buyers from my bandit sign for 182k. I called my coaches so many time to make sure I was doing everything right lol. Since my first deal I have been averaging 1 -2 deals a month and looking to bump it up alot more

Hello Everyone,

I figure from time to time we all need some motivation to keep us going. This business can be very stressful at times, so when you need time away, I though this would be a great read for you. These are not my word but I liked them enough to share with you..

"Words of a Champion........

True growth in life happens when we are willing to risk and stretch our abilities; when we are willing to put it on the line for change. It is easy to get comfortable being around the same crowd, doing the same thing we have always done. We can often get attached to a system of activities that will only lead us to the same result we have always gotten.

In reading through the different topics for discussion I see a number of posts asking, "why do I need an agent?"

There are some very good reasons for that. First an agent has access to the MLS and in that MLS there are a number of basic marketing tools that they have at their disposal.

1. They can search "cash" buyers for you for several months which can in turn be contacted as future buyers.

2. They can run the most accurate "comparables" on properties. Everything on the internet are estimates.

3. They can show you potential investor homes.

4. The seller pays their fee.

5. They can submit offers for you on your state approved contracts.

Now I know there are more, but those are 5 good reasons to use an agent on your "power team."

2012 Mantra "Nothing Is Impossible" I have realized its really all about your mindset. Its not the buisness its YOU!!! Feel Frustrated? still chopping at the same tree and its not falling? Well get a chain saw and cut the sucker down!!! Get focused copy proven systems that are working for others and make $$$ How many bandit signs have you put out? How many letters have you mailed? Have you built a buyers list? Ask your self what have you done today to to increase your calls? I have watched a company not related to realestate go from 2 employees to 40 in 3 years grossing 2 million a month!! They are no different then me and you! I now believe There must be guys around the country that flip 30 to 40 houses a month why?

It's not how hard you hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, it's how mutch you can take and keep moving forward.

Here it is in a nutshell (if you know me or follow me you won't believe I wrote this post this short) I completed my first Assignment of Contract. Nearly 4 years after going to my first Real Estate Investing Seminar in March 2008, many books, audio CD's, advanced training seminars, EDGE 2010, working for Matt Larson, Conference calls, many many bandit signs, websites, business cards, car magnets, etc. is all it took for me complete an assignment of contract. That is the definition of perseverance.

WOW*** what a suprise....I am EXCITED as heck!! I just bought deans book 30 days to real estate cash and was laying in bed at 10 pm last night reading and taking in the lessons and wisdom.I was getting a little tired and put a book marker on the page I left off on.I figured I would just skim through the rest of the book just to give me a taste of what tomorrow nights lessons would bring and ......HOLY COW ......I HAD TO NUDGE MY WIFE KAREN to have her read page 145 !!!!!

To be honest...this was one of my goals and I am extremely grateful to be a part of such a respected individual as Dean graziosi.
