GeorgeofVIrginia's blog

Well, I got my website set-up. My business cards printed. I attended my local real estate association meeting. I even got an lawyer, and a real estate agent on board. My agent found a nice little forclosure, just about ready to go to auction, in two weeks. However, it's for sale now. I could have picked it up for at least 30-40% under the fair market value. The one thing that I couldn't locate was an additional cash buyer. I had someone that I thought was serious, but she pulled out of the deal. I couldn't arrange funding in time to pick it up.

Whew! This is definitely harder than I imagined it would be. I can see that locating the properties is not that hard in this market. I can now see what Dean was preaching. I've gotta fill that "Buyer's bucket."

This is my first blog entry, anywhere! I've started, and subsquently stopped, various investment ventures. However, I've become more serious with real estate as a result of the pressure that I'm experincing as a wage earner.

If I don't utilize the tools that I have available to me now, I'm sunk. I've started using Dean's [Graziosi] Rock Bottom Blue Print program. It's a good think that I've started, now! The proverial hand writing is on the wall. A new company has entered into contract services at the facility that I work at. And, they are vowing cut backs. I'm already bleeding to death, like I need to be hacked up some more.
