Hi I am Joel and I have on DG for a little bit on and off just looking at what other people are doing and reading the testimonies of the deals are closing. There is so much info here I don't know where to start, I have Deans book and am struggling to read the whole thing, any advice on how to push forward in getting started in Realestate investing, I want to also buy my own house here in White Plains, New York.

There's no better time than the present. Its time to quit procrastinating, apply what I have learned and move forward with my goals. I wish everyone great success in 2012.

Thanks Dean for being an inspiration to many of us!

Happy New Year everybody.

A lot to tell with not a lot of time so...
Here's the short version:
My local house under contract will probably be a bust. I haven't heard from some of my buyers list but the heavy hitters have all declined.

The Denver house deal MM wrote about is falling apart as I write. Apparently there is some zoning issues and tenant issues that might kill this deal. I do have another buyer but don't have a great vibe about this one anymore.
Still waiting on an answer to house #s 2 & 3 to MM.

Started mapping out where to look for vacation homes for MM locally and will be going there personally next week to check the areas out.

Listened to 2 webinars the past few days and read more threads and posted to a few.

HI, MY NAME IS ROLO, AND I JUST ABOUT FINISHED READING ONE OF DEAN'S BOOKS. I AM A NEWBIE AND AM TRYING TO GET ALL THE INFO I NEED TO GET STARTED. ANY AND ALL ADVICE WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS HELP. I HAVE NOT REALLY GOOD CREDIT, AND NO MONEY TO GET STARTED BUT THAT DOES NOT SCARE ME. I KNOWWWWW THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. AND THAT IS ENOUGH MOTIVATION FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS MY GOALS FOR 2012. PLEASE HELP ME WITH ANY INFORMATION I CAN USE TO FIND MY FIRST DEAL, FUNDING, ETC...I WANT TO START USING THIS EVERYDAY, TO HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY PROGRESS AND HOPE TO HAVE MY OWN SUCCESS STORY! THANK YOU

I have seen Dean's videos for some time now. Beginning each year I set a personal goal. For 2012 I am going to follow Dean's strategies to build a multi-million dollar net worth in real estate.

By submitting a daily log I will be able to track my progress and hold myself accountable. I began on 01/01 by going through DG website. A friend introduced me to a man who inherited a property he values at $150K.

I made an offer to purchase the property on an option contract for 128K. My buyer has been through it and it is what he is looking for. The buyer is willing to do the remainder of the finish out work for down payment.

The numbers work for me. The seller has 48 hours to accept or reject my offer.

Been busy with tying up year end deals and getting part way through the 30 days to real estate cash. Found a couple new Realtor's,put together a new cash buyers list and mailed the letters. Received my first call back today-See ---It Really works. I stopped reading after this first portion as I wanted to take action. Will read more this week. Currently have contractors working a rehab that should be ready for market soon. Doing inspection on an accepted offer tomorrow. 2012 is going to be GREAT!
