I am new and I need help I dont know what to say or ask.

I have been doing some rehabbing for my father on a building he owns and I have been listing to Deans books on an mp3player and laptop as I am sanding painting or putting Old English on the panels in one of the offices walls.

I an listing to Real Estate In your Own Town at the moment. I cant wait until I get to the part about tying up a property in a contract.

My church is really growing and I am praying that we can get a building next store to our church so that we can not only build offices for the pastors but expand the sanctuary we so desperate need as this Christmas I do not know how we will be able to get all the people into the sanctuary. As at Christmas time we have twice as many people come as we do through out the year.

I found out that the property next store to our church as been bought and sold buy the same company twice and that both times they tried to buy the property Escrow fell through, because of some stipulation. Last Sunday after church I went to the building that my church would like to buy to expanse the church and took down the phone number. Sunday I gave him a call.

I told him that my name was Debra Ann and that I am a part of an investment group. I told him that I would like to know what the dementions of the property, the cost of the property and any stipulations that might be apart of the property. i know I sounded really scared on the phone each time i left a voice mail and did not think I would get a call back. I did yesterday and they left a message for me.

So today around 11:30 I called the person back but only got another voice mail. So I left him a message that I was returning his call and that I could not talk for long until after 3:00pm As I was overseeing three rehabbing projects for my investment partners and that I wanted him to email me all the information he had on that property. So that I could email that information to my investor team.

Now when I do get a call back what do I say I pray that the scared voice does not scare him away. This is bigger than I can handle. However I just remind myself I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengths me. For those who believe in pray please pray for me that I can sound professional and not scared every time I leave a message or he asked me a question I do not know how to answer.

Also my dad is really afraid of this economy and my dad has 3 out of 4 units nu-rented. Today I went to a mattress store trying to find out what size I needed to cut a board for a really bad bed I bought 18 months ago and as we started talking I asked him if he knew anyone who might be interested in renting an industrial unit and I found out that he is looking for a industrial unit for himself as the rent he is paying and the amount of exposure he would get was really bad. My dad's building has a sign that lights up at night and would give him front exposure to a major street. So he is going to come by and look at the building.

i told my dad about some of Dean's ideas in his books but my dad poo poo all of Deans ideas until the only renter left told my dad about one of the option in Deans book using Craig List because of the renter now my father has put the building on Craig s list.

Now what is really interesting to me is that when I told the man in the mattress store that he could see the building on Craig's list he did not want to look at it on Craig's list. But he told me he would come by. The man thought Craig's list was a bad place to post the rental.

Does anyone have any other ideas to help me with my dad and what to say to the guy when he calls me back about my church. My church has been in negations with him but the church can not handle a 5 million dollar note at this time and and I heard it will take at least 2 million to make it habitable.

I know that I can negate him down 2 million according to Deans book but How? Dean is so smooth at what he does and I am like a baby in the business and have not even learned how to crawl. Yet I am trying to run a real estate marathon. God Help me as I certainly do not know what I am doing yet. I just know if I don't take action the church will never get the property.

If I can get this property for my church it will be my first fruits and I will only turn over the mortgage to them when. I am not going to even ask them for a penny as that will be my way of saying Thank you God for changing my life through Dean's academy. Even though I do not have the money to get in yet One day I will it is just not soon enough for me.

Could I ask all of you who believe in prayer ask God in agreement with me that I can get some kind of job where I can make the payments that I owe until I can get my first deal and pay off the debt I will owe Dean. I can not let people down by taking on a financial responsibility and then not have the money to pay that debt because it could take me hours or it could take me even 6 months for the first deal to go through.

Thank you for any advice you can give to me
Debra Ann
