Rina's blog

Thought I'd go ahead and use this blog as long as I have it. Would be fun to start putting some videos in. hmmm..

Anyway, I think the following document is important for everyone to read, and I've included links that have been posted about it since it was announced on Friday. it is SOOO important to our buying/selling of properties this year. FHA lifts 90-day seasoning rule, JUST signed and announced on Friday.

With my husband in total skepticism, I signed up for Dean's Success Academy in April of this year. We put the cost of it on our credit card (which is NOT something we normally do!), but with the profits from my third real estate deal we were able to pay it off. The curriculum, live teleclasses, and access to advisors whenever I need them has been crucial to my investing career!

A pm I got this evening made me think of this. Someone had thought they read that Dean gave money to people to fund their deals.

Part of my reply was this:
...Dean's books and programs are treasures in themselves.
You know the old saying "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". Kind of applies here, too....

Thanks, Dean, for feeding us for a lifetime! lol

Until recently I didn't realize this, so I thought I'd put it in for those who may not know yet. When searching Craigslist for sellers, buyers, investors, private/hard money lenders, lease options, etc. make sure you look under all the "HOUSING" categories.

But don't forget to scroll down and look under "SERVICES" as well ("real estate" subheading). I have made contact with several investors, an awesome mortgage broker, and today left a message for a private money lender as well, all found in this category.

Just thought I'd share that.

About 2 months ago my parents decided to sell off part of their farm. They had a realtor do a BPO on the house with 5 acres, which came back with a value of $90k-$100K (comps came in at $95K) They decided to sell it outright for $80K, which would pay off their mortgage for the whole 80 acres and the 2 houses on the property (they would keep the other house and 75 acres).

Although I didn’t say HALF of what I meant to on the call with Dean Tuesday night (because I was so doggone nervous! ), I realized I could add to it here.
There have been a lot of questions this week about Dean’s Success Academy/Mentorship Program, both in the forums and PMs. Thought I'd post a little about it.
