no longer scared to succeed(rob clays'journal)

It seems silly to say but even though you're not happy with where you are in life it's easier to stay comfortably miserable,rather than taking chances to improve your life.However,you can't be afraid to go out on a limb because that's where the fruit is.I have constant negativity all around me all the time Thank God for Dean's blogs and this sight.I said all that to say this,I've read Deans BARM about a year ago and promptly forgot it.Mistake # infinity in my life lol.I bought Deans right now,recorded it to cd to listen to while driving,but am now reading the book and taking notes.I'm sure it'll take reading through a few times to get it,but I thought starting a journal and sharing it with my dg family would help keep me focused and moving forward.Rob

thursday 11/29/12

signed contracts on my 2unit only a couple days ago and now the seller wants to sell me the note for 1/3rd off. i don't really have that kind of cash laying around, but if i could i could have an income property paid off in a year. how cool would that be? grossing $1,500. per month in a year with no mortgage? i have to find a way.

sunday 12/2/12

today i'm taking the wife out of town. tomorrow is our 20th anniversary and because of recent r.e. deals we really don't have the funds to do anything great right now, but we have some cash flow starting to come in. i thought i'd give my wife a 2unit and a day in atlantic city to play slots.
she likes to gamble....guess that's why she bet on me 20yrs ago Eye-wink.

1/3/13

still working on my first 2 unit. learning alot the hard way. it's not so much that any of this is hard, but you'll learn more out in the field than reading. you can only learn so much before you have to step out. i'm talking in particular about city liscensing and things like that. if i had my title company in place before my deal like i should've (that's what i read by the way lol)i'd have known about alot of little things in my new target area that would've saved me time. all is not lost though, i'm learning and next one i'll be better and faster.

Rob

Rob,

You are so right about learning a lot the hard way, but as I have been told - it's all paperwork. I am a hands on type person, but I also want to know everything upfront which isn't going to work in Real Estate.

Thanks for sharing in your journal. Hope 2013 is the best year ever for you and your family.

Lori

thanks for the visit. you'll want to have as many questions answered as possible, but no matter what even the most seasoned(which i'm not Smiling) investors will run into something they haven't seen before. after going through it though you're a better more seasoned investor. i say bring it on, it's only gonna make me better.
