It was encouraging to read your story in the book and to also watch your video segment. I appreciate the enthusiasm. Since I am just getting started, it really helps. Thanks.

Hi Laura, I just wanted you to know that when I saw your story, how you just jumped right in and made money, I thought to myself I can do this too! I was wondering if you joined the acadamy? is ITS the acadamy that I hear people talk about? well thanks again keep going forward. Diane

I apologize for not answering sooner....I really have never looked here for messages - I mostly use the private message funcion. But anyway - you are so kind. I am truly honored to be an inspiration! It still amazes me how I did that first house! Wow, there were alot of sleepless nights, but deep inside I knew I had done everything the right way thanks to Deans teachings and it turned amazing! Now I have a rental in Wisconsin and am working on my next rehab here in Jersey right now. Yes, I did join the academy. They are wonderful coaches who are there for you whenver you need them. Best of luck to you - and YOU CAN DO IT TO! Its so exciting! Let me know of your progress. Again, thank you for making my day with your kind words.
All the best,
Laura

Oh my gosh - I apologize for not answering sooner! I have never checked this area for messages before! I am so honored and humbled to be an inspiration to you and others. What a gift that is! I am blown away every day with what I've done in real estate since getting Deans books. I've dont even hold a candle to most people on this site - but I love it, and am so empowered by Deans teachings. They have brought me the success and self confidence I needed to jump in and make this happen. I look forward to really breaking into it this year and hope the best for you to! Let me know how you're doing along the way!
Heres to success and happiness!
Laura

How is it going with the REI? Since we're both in NJ, do you know where I can get a NJ RE purchase agreement, I look on www.nj.gov & didn't see anything there under RE. Also do I need a investor & finders fee forms.

Thanks a $Million & wish you nothing but the best on your deals.

Your neighbor in NJ,

Hi Laura, I hope all is well.

I have read your posting on the site and I am truly inspired by your steadfast growth as a RE investor. May i ask what area in Jersey are u from? I am from New York.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to congratulate me, that in itself is a true motivator. I am not sure if you are one of the students to contribute to the scholarship fund that Alex got, but I wanted to thank all of those that had a part in it directly or indirectly.

I help raise scholarship money for students in my area, so I know the impact it can have on lives.

Thank you for taking time out to be a part of that. I wish you the best.

Best,

I am so sorry that I never saw your message! I go to my journal and private messages but I never think to look in here! Actually, I am no longer in NJ...I moved to Wisconsin last month! Please let me know how you're doing - but send me a PM instead of posting here in my profile page. Again John I am sorry for the lack of response!

OMG I must apologize for never answering you! I NEVER look on this page....only in my journal, others journals and PMs..I feel so bad. And, I am no longer in Jersey - moved to WIsconsin last month. There are many DGers in New York, hunt them out on this site depending on where you are. I would love to hear how you are doing....again - so sorry for not responding until now!

First - my deep apologies for never answering you! I NEVER look here for messages! I use my journal, other posts and PM messages. So sorry! As far as your question, you can use several tools for determining FMV. There is Zillow.com, and of course Deans awesome site called Total View Real Estate. Check them out. You punch in an address and all kinds of information comes up. I hope you are doing well and again, I'm sorry for the lack of response! Please feel free to send me a PM anytime! All the best to you!

OMG - I am so sorry for never responding to this!!! I NEVER look in here for messages...so sorry!!!!! SO how are you doing? I would love to hear from you - please either post in my journal or send me a PM though instead of posting here. Hope all is well with you!

Geez - I have never looked in here for messages! I only use journal and other threads and PMs. So Sorry! It was so fun meeting you guys in Phoenix! What a great weekend. I wish we had more time to talk but we'll make that a priority next year! All the best!!!

Hey Jason,
I am so sorry for not responding to this sooner! i dont ever seem to remember to check my own profile area for messages! So do tell, since July - what have you been up to? If you use the PM message method that would be better - I wont miss it then!
All the best,
Laura

I must apologize for not answering your post! I dont ever check this area. But the good news is I didnt have any leads for you as far as note buying goes so no loss in business by my not responding I hope since September things have gone well for you. In the future if you want to contact me please use a PM. Thanks! Laura

How are you? Thanks for your kind words. I am so happy that my story can in any way encourage others to reach their goals and dreams! In the future if you want to contact me please use the PM method - I rarely ever check in here for messages and often miss them for months! Thanks, and all the best to you!

Your artwork is beautiful! Really appreciate your talent. Sure wish I had time to paint...

Thank you! I wish I had time to paint too lol But seriously - I put it aside for real estate, and the sacrifice is worth it so far! Looking forward to having the freedom of time to paint all day in the future - and in a beautiful studio too

Hi Lj,My question was with looking at the assignment form it doesn't say anything about length of time contract is,say void. Is that with a hand shake and a smile thanx Leon

Thanks for the pm! Wow-I need to go back and watch that myself. It is amazing where real estate has taken my life, thats for sure
I do plan to be at the EDGE, but now I have a family thing that is happening the same weekend so I am very torn. How about yourself?

I was wondering is there any contratcs for bird dog hunters? Im finding properties for investors but i dont want them to steel the properties that ive found nor want to loose them all togeather as investors. Im not sure if such contract exists.

Hi -
Any investor should be willing to sign a bird dog contract with you. If not I would question their ethics.
We are always happy to supply them when requested. We havent actually had any one find us a property - but we pay 2k to anyone who brings us a buyer who closes and are always willing to supply an agreement to that effect.
As far as the actual contract - they are easy to write up and it depends on your financial agreement with the investor.
hope that helped some!
All the best,
Laura
