I am beginning this journal for 2 primary reasons:
1) Help me put things in perspective and move forward with my life so that I can achieve all the things I have known I could do but never took the final step until now.
2) Hopefully assist others through my knowledge, skills, and experiences with life and real estate.

This forum was created for everyone that listened to the May 28th Conference Call (http://www.askdeang.com/) and took up Dean's challenge to the homework assignment of locating 3 unlisted and/or vacant properties and finding the owners using different resources.

Please post your progress here so that we may give assistance where deemed necessary.

Below is the assignment that is discussed during the call. Add your replies here!

1. Locating properties that are unlisted and/or not for sale

a. How to locate homes that you want to research.

June is my birthday month, and my month to get focused on becoming a Successful Real Estate Investor!
I got the book 2 months ago but had to deal with a devastating personal issue. Seems as if I have been holding my breath all this time, now I am ready to exhale, get focused and keep on living.

I've gotten a lot of great ideas and encouragement from this site. Just what I need!

Knowledge + Action = Results

Hello world!!!

Here I go diving into it with both feet. I hear chuckles but never mind, it couldn't be worse than my first door knocking encounter with a hostile homeowner.

I have to make a confession, which I suggest most newbies don't do. I skimmed through Dean's book and got to Chapter 16. Because of proximity of a public library to my house, I thought I'd pull the legal newspapers. Some are available by subscription if you have the $200 to pay for it. I say I don't suggest skimming because every chapter builds on the next and the next.

Hi Everyone. I guess i am ready to start my journal so instead of me repeating myself. Has anyone looked under active forum topics? Well my post is "I think I found the answer" This is the start of my journal and my journey, so please read it and i will keep you posted.
