Sound barrier

Congratulations on starting your REI journal. I hope your plan of action is moving along for you and you are breakign the sound barrier of information towards the next deal. Please keep us all updated on your progress. Good luck with REI. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thought I'd update this journal today. I haven't had the time lately. I'm trying to manage time with co-running a General Contracting company and trying to educate myself, meet with Investors, and sift through 400 properties that my Realtor is sending me. I will have them sorted to my criteria by the end of this weekend and she can put offers in on them.
I recently went to a local Investors meeting and added four Investors to my buyers list. Now from this REIA meeting I also obtained by word of mouth an Attorney that deals with Investors and does IEE's, Assigns, Lease Options etc. Now that's dynamite!
I interviewed a Mortgage Broker and she is a perfect fit for my team. My Realtor recommended her to me and I really have to thank her for trusting me and venturing out on what will be for her, a new path with an Investor.
My marketing is out there for motivated buyers and I will be getting calls from them any day now.
I can't wait to do my first deal. Or as they call it....Get that Goof-Ball deal out of the way.

Until next time

It has been a little slow for me the past few weeks as my finances have almost dried up and I am trying to find creative ways to make my first deal happen. I know that as long as I am in the mix, and keep putting effort forward I will succeed. I guess this entry is being created more so for me so I can look back at it and laugh at those times of experiencing lack.
I will succeed and I will continue on the path until it becomes second nature for me to find deals and sell or hold them until the right opportunity arises.

I am thinking my goal is to find deals that are so great that I can help a family make the down payment on their first house out of some of the equity I'm selling. That would make me happy.

Until next time,

Just a short note: WOW I just won a Live EDGE Event box set and I am ecstatic!! I will look back on this day for the rest of my life and know that this was the day that I was able to really boost taking action toward a fantastically amazing new life. I'm blown away, I still don't know what to say!

Thank you so much DG

Jason I am so glad for you. It looks like winning the E.D.G.E. event home course will help you get closer to your goals.

Wow I haven't made an entry in quite a while. I have covered quite a bit of ground in this last year.
I have moved twice and that sure has hindered my setting up shop as a successful REI. My Lovely Wife Jodie is a Flight Attendant and we have made a couple moves for her work. We are in a permanent location now.
We moved form NY to Roanoke, VA first. There I had my team all set up and just began my marketing strategy when we up and moved to Treasure Island, FL.
So now we are living in Paradise and things are coming to me quite effortlessly now. Today alone just through referrals I obtained a great Mortgage Broker, a Wet Funds lender for double closings and a Guru RE Attorney. I'm ready to apply my marketing strategies now, and my property locators are in full effect.
The good life is on its way. I can't wait to overflow with abundance so I can give back to the world.
Looking back I have to say that I really appreciate all that Dean has done for me and the DG Family. I will definitely pay everything forward soon.

That's all for now

I enjoyed reading your journal so much. I relate completely to where you were when you started, how you knew in your heart this was going to work for you, and especially loved the sound barrier quote! Great stuff. And I am so happy to see that despite your moves you are staying on course and making things happen. I look forward to following your journey in REI and reading about your great successes
