Real Estate Investing Weekly Wisdom #272 - (GAME CHANGER) Life Lesson and HUD Property Profits

Great wisdom! It is so true that character is built through the hard times, not the good times! HUDs can be a great source. Have the earnest money ready!

Thanks,
Michael

Also, HUD's require $500 EM on 50K and under homes. 50K and over require $1000 EM which is non refundable, but otherwise HUD's are something to consider.

Hi Dean & Matt

Another great weekly wisdom.....Thanks for all the information.....

Have a great week gentlemen......

Regards,
Sharon

FANTASTIC information for us from both of you !!
We have the unfair advantage of new cutting edge secrets from you guys
As you get it. Improving my mind, life and real estate investing is why I continue to study all you two share !! Thanks for inspiring me to persist on Dailey improvement !!

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." That's what I have to add to your message Dean. I don't believe God wants bad things to happen in our lives, but when they do, He uses them for good.
Matt - awesome tips on HUD properties. I'll put the knowledge into action immediately.
Thanks Guys!

Dean, I really loved what you said and I am going to squeeze the stuffing right out of you if I ever get the chance to meet you for all of your wisdom help.

I have played many times your weekly wisdom to far gone that you and Matt did September 1st 2013.

And I remember what Matt said. His advise was to disconnect the negative people from your life and disconnect from the negative media too.

I feel this is my last chance to make it in real estate and stay in the game because of you and Matt.

This site has more to offer then anything I have seen before.

And I am going to squeeze the stuffing right out of Matt too if I ever meet him.

You two are amazing and so help full.

Thanks! Much!

Another great Weekly Wisdom!
What a powerful phrase Dean. I will implement immediately! Just this morning I was watching a video that Andrea did on IE, about "The Power of Bad Judgement" where she says that we can Win, Learn or Lose from a bad decision; it's up to us, and our attitude; and after listening to what you say today on this Weekly, I believe things have happened for me! I continue moving forward with a positive mind, focused on my goals...

Matt, I love HUD deals! I have bought some HUDs to fix and hold; great deals! It's challenging to get all docs and EM back to them within 48 hrs (from out of state) after offer has been accepted, but I have my system down now...

Very grateful for everything that you share with us!
Val

Great weekly wisdom! Mindset perspective and tips on Hud homes. Thank you for helping us to be equipped to keep taking action and moving forward!

Make it a great week!
Thom

Dean thanks for sharing such a powerful phrase, I really sat back and though about a couple of things that happened in the past that might of been the cause of who I am today. Also Matt's tip on HUD homes was great, I will be explaining this to my realtor tomorrow.

Dean thanks for the New Perspective on Life. I can tell you have been influenced by Tony Robbins as have I. You always had it within yourself. It's great to see the Real You come out. I listened to many of Tony Robbins' different sessions free on Youtube and it has helped me get in the right mindset. I went to the library and was able to get The Power To Shape Your Destiny CDs and they are great. I'm winning the battle or war that constantly goes on in my head over doubts, negative thoughts or even redirecting the auto pilot mindset of doing what everyone normally does of being busy but never reaching my potential or accomplishing my goals. It's easy to change that goal by changing the due date or the amount of money you want over and over again, until January has become December and another year has gone by without accomplishing a single goal in life or real estate. Dean, I know without a doubt you want me and all your other students to succeed. I wish I could take your knowledge & courage and stick it into my heart and soul. I know I'll get there, I just want to want something in my life so much that I am willing to pay any price to get it. Maybe I'm too satisfied with being where I am, I don't know for sure. I'm so close, I'm almost there, I can feel it now in my soul as never before. Please be patient, I will succeed and have quite a story to tell all of your students to help them succeed in life as did I.

Matt, what a Stud!!! I mean that will all my heart. You Truly are an "A" Player. Great info, I will check into immediately. One thought. If you submit an offer that would have to be by a dedicated realtor or yourself if you are licensed is my guess. Thanks again guys.

Dean & Matt
Great information on both levels. I'll look in to HUD properties as the waiting period was always a problem and probably the Realtor I'm using. I'm in the process of getting a good one and expanding.

Thanks Dean and Matt. Very Good Education this m,orning about Hud. I really understand how yall explained it. Thanks again Carol in Texas

That was great to listen too. I am trying very hard to get back on track, going back thru the books and getting back on here with my DG family. I did buy 2 property's last year then because everyone around me became so negative I just stopped trying. Well thanks to DG I am back and more determined and I will do it.

Watched this yesterday and I have bought HUD houses in the past.

Saw this yesterday.

HUD Property Profits. What's MLS? I don't know. Thanks Sam.

Loved the insight as to letting life happen for you. I think that recently I have been more focused on life happening "to me" instead of for me. I had some rough patches of late, but my faith tells me all things will work together for good. Your weekly wisdome just helped reinforce that. Also Matts tips on HUD were great. Thank you and I look forward to making 2014 MY year!

Dean and Matt:

Thank you guys for the great messages, another inspiring and informative messages. I am on the down cycle of my life at the moment and the weekly wisdom keeps me going. And I will keep going on the path to change this current situation until I will get to my destination. Thanks again guys and have a great week to everyone.

I always look forward to the great info. All the videos have either helped me with knowledge or with motivation.
Thank you and also thanks to Matt for keeping us in the game and always sharing.
Angel.

that was really really really good, thanks Dean & Matt.

It's the multiple listing service where properties are listed by a listing agent realtor and buyers agents that we get to represent us make offers for us, it is a sophisticated software database that real estate agents pay about $500-$600 a year to belong to, only agents can belong to it.

So that's why it is vital to get an agent that works with investors ok. Also if you havn't already get Dean's free book at deansfreebook.com & read it & follow the steps & you will get deals & of course go on here & ask questions & we will help you ok.

How powerful, sir!

I have followed that principle for the longest time. Where we are today is in direct coalition with what our past has brought to us. good and bad. By listening to of those things we have a destiny laid out for future benefit to society. Some of us whom have gone through the worst have become the best. It is a thought I share with everyone who I can sit down with.
Thanks for sharing Dean!

My best regards,

Dan

Thank you Dean for more of your life wisdom I do believe we need that also. What Matt said is correct about HUD homes. We have only bought HUD homes as investments. The last one we bought with my sister and flipped it. HUD was asking 50k for it at the time of our offer and we offered 35k and it was rejected. The very next day I told my realtor to put the same bid in and it was accepted. After the fix up we sold the house for 72k.

Thanks Dean for your knowledge to make us all some money.

Steve and Veronica

Dean....your thoughts from your Tony Robbins discussion hold so true. Many times this comes down to a matter of faith and trust. Both faith and trust in yourself, and God. If you're a Christ follower, you understand that God is in our corner. Even when you think he's not. Many times bad things and situations happen in our lives. And we start feeling sorry for ourselves, or maybe take on the "everyone (including God) is out to get me" mentality. That doesn't mean that we can't have some awful, unexplained "bad things happen to good people" events in our lives. But many times there is a hidden message in these experiences if we're open to finding it. God is constantly preparing us for what he has prepared for us. And there are things that we need to learn along the way (sometimes the hard way), to prepare us to be successful in managing the great things he has in store for us down the road. With the hopes that we in turn pass that success as a blessing to others. So when things are not going your way, be thankful and find the hidden message in the situation. Have faith and trust in yourself and God. Learn and apply the message. Stay the course. It just means you're one step closer to the blessings and success God wants to give us. Thanks for sharing Dean!!!!

Dear Dean & Matt, thanks so much for your prospective on life. I believe choosing the
right path is the most important thing we can
do. This provides us the true direction we as
human beings can make. Thanks also for the HUD
options for R/E deals.
Regards,
Kevin

Hey Dean and Matt good start for the New Year happiness to all the DG family and this is a opportunity of a life time see you soon as the deals come in I'll even have some to offer you we will all partner together and do what needs to be done global change thanks DG family.

What a coincidence. I started to look into HUDs yesterday and even sent a blog and you answered my question in this weekly wisdom. Awesome!

I have proof of life being for us taken from scripture in the New American Standard version and I urge everyone to read Psalm 139 -A Psalm of David- "Search me Oh God"
For thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb.(verse 13) and then in (verse 16)Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.
In just a few months I will turn 66 and I hope to live another 35 years or so. I know I am not yet all that I can be. I plan to accomplish much and touch many lives between now and then. I believe my life happens for me according to God's plan and it includes good and bad. I ask forgiveness for my mistakes and blunders and do my best to learn from them. Everything that happens to me contributes to the person I will become. My life is happening for me according to God's plan and that includes putting Dean Graziosi and Matt Larson in my life among many others that are an influence. They are anchors and inspiration.
It sounds like I need to come up with $500.00 to $1000.00 for em in order to do a hud transaction. Will I need to put any other money with that for closing costs etc.?
Thanks for another great weekly wisdom. I only have $1.75 in my checking account which is not enough to pay for IE. Darn it. Oh well, I will not let that get me down and I should be OK as long as I have DG.com

Absolutely love your one sentence: "Life happens for you." I am beginning to realize that more and more, and will be looking into those HUD options. Thanks Dean and Matt.

Excellent way to think a little differently about how you perceive what has happened in your life and how to make it work for you instead of against you. Great information about how to take advantage of HUD deals.
