Just the Beginning

Hi DG family. My name is Seth and I must say that this website has some really great information on it. I have been looking around the site for about two weeks now. It has an assortment of inspiring stories to get someone motivated. I look forward to interacting with everyone here.

Here’s a little background on me. I live in north central Florida, just outside Gainesville. Since I was a young kid I can remember walking tracts of land with my dad looking for surveyor’s makers and all that was with in them. My dad was not was a Real Estate Investor, we moved a lot and he also like to buy property for recreational use. He was always able to trade up in his deals (so I guess in a way he was a Real Estate Investor) and so the family always had our own private vacation spot. Anyway, so to drive around and asking myself “What I think about a piece of property” is nothing new to me.

Last year about this time, I found a REO condo that a bank had foreclosed on. It was a small 1 bedroom/1 bath unit and they were asking $40,000 for it. It was located about a block away from a main 4 lane street that would take you to the heart of the University of Florida in about 5 minutes. It had a good shopping plaza between it and the 4 lane street (having a Lowes, Walmart, and a Publix in walking distance). I did not conceder myself an investor by any mean, but I did call them up and after speaking with them awhile, I offered them $20,000 for it. They called me back the next day and declined my offer, but I felt good because I had at least done something.

Now here I am a year later and the Real Estate Bug is biting me again. This time I have found Dean’s material and I understand more about my past and what I can do to have better results in the future. I still have a lot to learn, but I am so ready for the ride! I look forward to meeting everyone, and if I can be of any help in the North Florida Area just let me know!

Thank you for Your Time,

Seth H
