Michael,

you always have these amazing posts!!! Always very inspiring!

Looking forward to seeing your video!

I can't wait to see your video and what you have done. Thanks to Val i summited a video last year and took second place. I have been on a roll this year and I am going to put together a great video this year that will rock the new guys...If someone new can copy one of my deals from the video then I have won first place without even entering the contest!!! But being in the finals would be nice too right..

I'm looking forward to seeing your video too! I would do one but mine would only be 2 minutes long.. lol... I've only closed on 2 so far!! but that's going to change really soon.

Keith, put a good one in there that I can copy... one that you made a bigggg profit on!!!

That's what I do too. And it does work!! Anywhere I go I look for FSBO signs or houses that look vacant. A few weeks ago I rode by a house that had a FSBO sign in the yard and I called the number. The guy was selling it for his mother because she had moved in with him. I met him there to look at it and we talked a while. It was a nice older brick home that he and his brother had kept everything maintained. They even left the power on and they go and cut the grass every week. So anyhoo, he was asking $87,500 which is not a bad price considering all the work they had done and an extra lot comes with it too.

After talking with him, I knew he wasn't going to budge on the price so I talked to him about doing a lease option. He was very attentive to everything I said but he kept saying his mother wanted to sell the house outright so that she could do some things for her grand kids while she was still able. He said he liked the way I talked but right now he thinks they'll just try to sell it. I left it open and I told him if things didn't work out and he needed me to just give me a call and I left him my business card.

Well, he called me today and had a few questions. I answered all his questions and he said he was going to talk to his brother again and they would call me in 2 weeks because he was going out of town next week. WOO HOO!!I think he just might go with the l/o!!

Another one that I'm going to do a l/o on is also one I found while driving. The owner was outside and there were some workers inside. I stopped and talked with the owner. Since he was renovating everything, I just cut to the chase and asked him if he would consider a L/O. He asked a few questions and then he said yes as long as I would screen them. He didn't want me to take pictures yet because everything was in disarray so he told me to call him in a week. So I talked with him later and he said they had run into more problems that they thought and it was taking more time. He said to call back in a week again. so I did. He said they still were working on it and he told me it should be ready by next weekend so I could come and take pictures and write up the contract!! WOO HOO AGAIN!! Driving for Dollars Works!!!

Awesome, Deborah & Michael and Shirley!!! ~Congrats!
You are truly SUPERstars! ...Living the REAL Estate dream!
I'm inspired by your accomplishments!

Congrats Michael, Shirley & Keith!

Way to go, Shirley! I do driving for $'s, to in my area. What I'm finding is a ton of homes that look like shadow inventory. Not a lotta fsbo's out there, yet. But, I haven't combed all of the treasure valley, either. I've got a few cool things happening I may post about later.

I hope you get it, Michael! 20 deals?! How amazing!

I just hope our video is not to long. We really go over what we do and how we use Dean's strategies. We had fun making it anyway.

Karen, Valerie, Thanks! this REI stuff beats the heck out of a J.O.B.

Kieth, two times could be the charm. I hope my video is a call to action for the new investors that see it.

Shirley, you have come so far! You never gave up and above all you took action, I am proud of you. The sky is the limit for you now.

Dallas, that is just 20 of the zero money down deals we have done this year. As far as deals, we are around 85. I don't even count any more, we just deposit the checks.

Hitting the streets this morning, there are always new estate and garage sale signs out there on Saturday mornings.

Can't wait to see the video guys, and great job on putting things into action. We too are finding ways to "Drive for Dollars" and having fun finding leads and putting in offers.

Keep up the great work

Some of those empty houses may be gems and not shadow inventory. We have found a couple that have gotten damaged and the owner had let ins lapse and had no money to fix them up, so they just boarded them up.

I was getting slack about researching the ones we wrote down because so many were showing up as bank owned. But then someone called wanting to buy one of them from us (we always attach our signs to empty houses) and when we researched, we found it had no mtg. There are back taxes and some code violations but that's all. You bet we immediately started looking for the owners and researching our list very thoroughly. There were actually a couple more in there that we had missed.

Check them all out! You never know which one will be the golden egg.

Karen

If you see a vacant house with no for sale sign but it has a lock box on the door, chances are that is a bank owned property that the listing agent is waiting to get the listing agreement from the bank. If it is a VERY small bank you MIGHT be able to make an offer on it before it is listed. otherwise wait for it to be listed and make an offer.

If it is vacant with no lock box it could be a pre foreclosure, probate, absentee owner type property. Do the research on these.

I learn SO MUCH from reading your posts! It keeps me very encouraged. I'm going to start calling FSBO's. Thanks!

i guess we'll see you at next years' edge with your video then.
congratulations you've earned it.
keep moving forward, rob

Renae, It works! We went by a couple of estate sales today but no deals. That's OK, we are on to the next.

Teresa, Go for it, call everyone you find.

Rob, I may go if I get an invitation! Otherwise, I will be working it! TCOB!!
