I know that there are people here pushing to get that first deal. I am hear to tell you do not stop, make it happen for you and your family if you have one. I have done several types of deals using other peoples money (there is tons out there so ask) and a trick or two to make it work for all parties involved. This month I took a stab at wholesaling... Turned two short sales into wholesales and cashed two checks (35k and 25k). Please think outside the box and find what the person really needs and get the deal done. Ask for help on this site, reach out to people here that have done deals and ask what to do on yours, if you hit a wall. If you don't ask, you will NOT GET...NOW GO GET SOME

Had started 30 days to fast cash first of november with a goal of having my first deal by december 15th. It's come and gone and I've not reached my goal. I called RE agents and thought I had some listings, when I checked my email, it waw empty; they totally ignored me. I didn't call back and have had some personal stuff I needed to attend to, so I haven't called other RE agents on my list. Ok, that's my job tomorrow! Thanks for the "kick in the butt" Denise
Wow that is a fantastic testamonial. I am brand new to this, less than one week and so i haven't really done anything yet but you just inspired me to get it started! Thanks so much!
Being somewhat of an older veteran to this site I fully agree with Keith's post. There are so many ways for each and everyone of you to make money in REI, but when you get knocked down get right back up and start again. Don't ever give up on your dreams, ever. When Jeremy and I first got started so many people laughed and told us it could not happen. Now after 4 years of investing and building a small empire of our own, those same people come to us for advise, wisdom and money. We never gave up on our dream, never will. Do the same for you and your family. The view is much better from the top instead of the bottom. Now go do some deals...Jan
Jan said it best. If agents don't call you back call another one and so on. I the MLS is not working send out yellow letters. If that doesn't work use post cards. Yes it takes time and some money to do these things but it will pay you back trust me on that one. July 2012 was a real turning point for me when some big deals closed and I knew I was there for the rest of my days. Now it is all about helping others get there....If i turn and put out my hand and you don't take it shame on you..If i don't turn around and put my hand out shame on me...NOW GO GET SOME

As Keith said its all about thinking out of the box and being creative and ask , you will never get anything if you dont ask and take action, what an example he is as well as everyone else is on here.Lost some great opportunties
and some great rewards if they had of gone through not only for me but all those who were involved in the deals with me and some were DGers, but we will get er done, Jim ( next deal!!!!!!!)

find another agent. It is best to have more than one agent anyway IMHO! Melanie and Denise you may also want to put up your bios, so others can connect with you.
Jan, It is always great to hear from you, I haven't seen you around much. I liked your inspirational story there.

We are staying very busy with rehabs and buy and holds. If I'm not busy I'm cranky. I am on here almost everyday but sometimes not signed in. I am always watching and reading. Hope you and your family have a Great Christmas!!!...Jan
