Investing Journals

So here I start. I have yet to do a deal, have yet to finish my books. I am always scared to pull the trigger on new things that have to do with money, and lack confidence in myself. Am looking forward to 2010 as 2009 has been a mass of bad luck. So this year is for learning. Next year is for making money.

My lone goal for now: Prepare for 2010. Yes, I know you should start right away, but my kharma is jacked up this year. So I read and learn.

Current situation:
Living paycheck to paycheck.
Losing my home to foreclosure soon.

Since I have not "met" most of you, my name is Trish and I am just getting started into the REI program. Have yet to get the books - too broke to do that yet, and I am currently in financial crisis. No money to invest, barely making ends meet, and currently out of work on short term dis due to a shoulder injury. My first questions have been - HOW DO I START!!! Listened to Dean's Instant Equity call, Checked out the forums, signed up for the confrence call tomorrow, and started researching online.

I am very excited and anxious to get started. I just recieved Dean's "Profit From Real Estate RIGHT NOW!" book. I am starting this journal to track my progress as I embark into my new REI career.

Time to start reading. I look forward to posting my progress.

Good Luck to all!!!

We've just started our journey and are looking forward to realizing our dreams. I'm looking forward to finding our first deal. We've got a ton to learn but we're up to the challenge. Nervous but excited. Thanks and we'll post soon!

I havent been on in a while but just made a mp3 DVD of ALL my Real Estate audio courses! It was 1,200 files! O.o I have a lot to learn! I'll try to get on more ok you guys!

"Enrolling in the Real Estate Success Academy is one of the best business decisions you could ever make!"

I read this statement and thought why not? So,I find myself excited, anxious, and a little nervous. I can't wait to thank Brian Andrus in person for encouraging me to move forward with my career! I have already spoken to 3 other RE agents and they were so pumped up I had to calm them down! The same agents also can't wait to start bringing deals together. Although I just picked this book up 4 days ago, I can honestly say it has already had a tremendous effect on my mind set.

I think I had my first break. I have been having trouble finding investors to work with me. Well, through a relation I was able to talk to a marketing person for a local company. This person had the types of contacts I was looking for. Real Estate agent, Lawyer, and other investors. Through one brief lunch meeting describing my intentions, I was able to get assistance in building my team. Also, I received a short lesson in internet marketing. Now I will put my new knowledge to work.

Ok everyone I started my journal.....

A little background information about me:

My name is Mirza Strujo I am a 23 year old graduate student getting my MBA. Last may I graduated with a bachelors degree in Geology. I am very interested in business, real estate, sustainable green buildings, technology. I enjoy sports, music, the great outdoors, fishing, hunting, hanging out with friends etc. everything a college kid does.

Some information about my real estate investing plans:

Honestly, I have been studying REI (Real Estate Investing) since 1997 while I was in college. I saw Carleton Sheets' infomercial after a very long night at the library. Since then, I've ordered and read 2 versions of his course.

I know the Title sounds a bit odd, but I have a story to back it up! A few weeks I posted "Going to Closing" and since then I have closed on my first buy and hold deal. I have benefited in so many ways from that deal. I wanted to talk about an idea or a revelation that popped into my head while working a 12 hour long night shift. Here is the story.
