Pursuing MY American Dream!

Well I see I haven't been keeping myself accountable for all the updates I've been needing to post but I'm working on it. It might just be the excitement and motivation that's keeps me busy with everything and I start to lose track of time!

Well for the past two weeks I have been posting ads for investor buyers on CL, Backpage.com and several other free classified ad sites. Have gotten about 11 investor buyers so far but only problem is that they haven't given me any information for property criteria etc. (??????)

I've got my website up and running just tweaking it here and there for what may arise or need adjusting from time to time. You can check it out at www.midgaproperties.webs.com and see what you like or might think needs improving upon, any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Went to Lowe's and got some sign material for my bandit signs and also went to the local officemax and got some good durable flyer paper to start putting out my flyers (which I have yet to put out but will be working on that this week!)

Going through Dean's Think a Little Different About Real Estate Program (which got here an entire month after I ordered it) but still wanting to make sure to have all the basics down. You can never forget what got you or in my case is getting you to the top!

Sorting out different ideas about which business cards to use as far as design and what specific info I want etc etc and will be ordering those THIS WEEK.

Will be headed to my FIRST investment club on the 20th of this month so I'm pretty amped about that! Hope everything will go well!

Also trying to find a way to get a little more organizational with my time not just jump from one thing to another. I want to be able to look back at what I did at the end of the day not worry about what I forgot to do or if I made that phone call etc. (Any advice on this will be greatly appreciated!)

Got my 800 number setup with COA (from Dean's book) still working on a few parts of the message because I'm a little lost on what exactly to do after I have my greeting!!!

Went and visited a few different FSBO's (there are sooo many around here it's not even funny!) Talked to the owners and asked about why they were selling and prices etc etc but I know of two that just wanted too much and tried negotiating with to at least try and get SOMETHING going but it didn't work because they were just too outright stubborn!!

For this week I'm also gonna be getting in touch with different RE agents/brokers Realtors and do MY "Interviews to get some good honest hardworking pros that WANT to make $$$ NOT tell that what I'm doing won't work or just have to listen to their personal experiences that didn't workout for them because they gave up too easy or because their just not a well informed investor!!!

I still have more that I want to get done between now and my first deal but it will all come together as time goes by.

Another one is to CONSTANTLY stay on DG.com and read and research AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!

My goal is to have my first deal done by the end of January or the beginning of February so I know as long as I keep pushing forward and stick to the action steps I have setup for myself I don't see why I couldn't have it done!!! (But I know there's always hiccups along the way so.....we'll see.)

Much Success and a Prosperous 2011
