My First Blog

Hello DG and all members!
I am writing my first blog as I want to get real focused and sharp about my new career in Real Estate!! This is something I have so wanted to do for a very long time. I have bought the : "How To"books on -line before, all about :Real Estate! Long ago the advice was to use your own house for: "leverage" to put a down payment on a rental property.
Needless to say, I dreamed about this, talked about it, and then went to: "shut-down" mode when my husband told me it would: "never work"
I lost energy over that and never did anything more about it!

Now my two daughters are grown and gone, and I am still working full time as a nurse. I love my job, I do not stress about it, nor do I dread going to work! So I have no: "Matt Larson" type of story to tell! All I know is since I got the mailed invitation to one of Dean's Real Estate seminars, (a three hour presentation) I have been pumped again! I want to prosper and be financially free, so to speak!
I took the 3 day week-end training, and have since gone over the cds I got to take home with me. I am now signed up as one of Dean's: Inner Circle and have my own coach! He calls me at work during my lunch hour, as I have decided not to tell my husband! Until I get my first deal that is, as he cannot help being very focused on the "down side" of things in general!~
Therefore I will only work on this with my coach during my lunch hours. Also my coach advised I start in Tampa Fl, something I am so happy to do! I will start with wholesaling, and so far I have learned how to look up houses on Zillow and also how to assess the value by square foot and do the comparables to decide on what it is worth now.

This is my true story and I hope this will strike a cord with another member. I am also hoping to get connected with you others, and I feel from watching so many of the "Success Stories" and reading your journals as well, that I already know so many of you.
Onward and Upward to all my fellow: DG Family members, may the Sun shine more brightly than ever for you in the days to come!
Thanks so much
