Investing Journals

Hi,

Okay, here I go...where do I start? ...so many things to do...so many things I've been doing...First reading & learning through this forum...then ordering DG's programs...then reading, posting & learning some more...then "Thinking A Little Different" and outside the box to pay for The Success Academy...Courses and Assignments...Found a house for short sale and several REO/vacant properties in surround blocks...on the phone with the advisors...UGGGG My head is spinning.

Well boy... So I finally have something to write about in a journal, so I decided to start one.

A real brief background about myself. I live in Orange County CA and am a pilot for ExpressJet Airlines. I am getting furloughed Oct 1st (furloughed is basically being fired, except they will eventually call you back to work), and hope to do REI full time!

frist entry got up 3 am worked 14 hours trucking fright 5pm stoped trucking for the day went to deans .com to read and learn what ever i could .i learned how to start my journal yahoo thanks Elena and rina and anita but i have s to shut the pc off now and go read deans interactive matirel<<<<< oh man spellings bad <<< oh well i can read it sort taof

I got the book in July and began reading like crazy (I have the time, Im home A LOT!) I came too this site and started reading more and more and more. I was very overwhelmed (still kinda am) Im starting with bird-doggin and reassigning. My credit is poor and Im in debt so first things first. As of today I have completed building a website for my new venture and its up and running and Im very nervous and scared still, not sure why but I am. My next move is to start placing ad's. I will post later when I've done more.

Hey everyone. I'm proud to say that my wife and I have finally got our first offer accepted. After many offers, 46 to be exact, we finally got our first one accepted. A little on the home; it's and REO with an ARV of 170,000, offer accepted at 95,000, repairs = 25,000-30,000. We are so stoked!

Hey there everyone,
I am starting a journal in hopes to track my progress, archive some questions/answers and to share what I do and learn with others on the site.
Well here goes...

This weekend I found a very interesting property... its within a couple of blocks from the beach.

My husband and I saw Dean on television on 7/29/08 and decided to order his book and begin our venture to financial freedom.

We have a Home Remodeling Company in SJ and would like to incorporate Real Estate investing into our business.

Our goal is to be out of dept and financially free by the New year. We have 7 children and we now see the possibility of college in their future.

Dean's book has taught me how to dream again. It has given me the confidence that I need to face the future and change it one deal at a time.

Hey everyone. I'm new to the site and new to the investment business. This site is so full of information that I have been a little overwhelmed! Hope I'm doing this right - I decided to start a journal. I'll start with a little about myself.

Okay, here goes!!
