Investing Journals

I'm just started to real estate investing. I have no experience into this business yet but I have been studying a lot about real estate in the last two years. I thought I have to know what I am doing before I get started. I don't want to make mistakes, I can't afford to lost money because I don't have a lot to start with in the first place. I've learn about creative financing, like least option, subject to, seller financing and assignment of contract. I sign in for the Success Academy, that has a lot of helpful information. It's awesome!

Hey everyone,

Well, I guess it's about time I started my member journal. As you can see from our profile, we've been here since last March, but progress has been slow. I've started to show my face on the forums more because January and February are the "slowest" (a relative term) months in our otherwise busy lives.

To this point we have looked at a handful of houses and put in several offers. We are currently getting ready to go to a real estate investment club on Tuesday night. I put up our first flyer today -- you can read about that and give me some much-needed feedback on it under the "marketing" section of the forum.

I have a pretty Good Lead generation System to generate buyer and seller leads....What are some of the ways you attract Buyers, Sellers, Etc?

Today is the first day of the rest of my life! I have downloaded both of Dean's Books and I have a pad and pen to take notes. I am going to begin with Profit from Real Estate Right Now! I pray that God will bless this new journey and show me the way to provide a safe, happy, peaceful home for my children to come and reside in. Thank you God for this new opportunity to begin again.

Hello DG family, I just read a post by "reilouisiana" and he could use some help from any and all who have experience with foreclosures. I ask that you read his post and offer any assistance you can. I offered what I could but I'm sure there's a lot more helpful thoughts and suggestions out there. Thanks in advance.

Did what Dean and most every other investor told me to do, Flap my lips!

OK, so I am putting some money into an option to purchase and I am sharing equity at sale and yes I'll also be putting in some repairs, I already have a tenant generating $200 per month more than the LTO monthly payment.

The estimated FMV by the City is $48K. Mine comes out at about $42k.

Regards to all,

Here's the deal:

Good evening John,
