Dean Graziosi Weekly Video Blog #124 - Fortune Magazine Says Now Is The Time!

Dean,
Another great video! Let's just keep it moving ya'll. lol

Peace and Blessings,
Sheila

Thanks Dean for your latest blog. Its news that is perceived differently by everyone; kinda keeps things rollin. My main focus though is to keep workin my Success Academy teachings and make some action moves. I love to read all of the DG peoples posts and it keeps me motivated everyday. Everybody keep your fingers crossed for rresnick2112 in the beautiful Boise, Idaho area!

Thanks for the information Dean. We are set for the Insiders Edge 3 day workshop this Friday. Can't wait to put this plan into motion.

Viki & John H.

First off Dean I want to say that your backyard looks so inviting. I would love to spend the day there with a cuba libre and the warm sun. Then I would like to spend a day with you when you get in your car to do business. Yup from sun up to sun down which means the beginning to the end of your day every minute kind of like being a fly on the wall. I love to observe people and I would like to take in some of your energy. I have lots to do so I am going to get with it here. Just wanted to respond before I go out and get a look at that Fortune magazine and look for properties. Thanks again and have a great day.

You must have a genie in your corner. You predicted things would do a 360 soon, and the ball is starting to roll.

Experience has taught you well.

Only a dumby would ignore your advise.

Leon J.

P.S. I'm no dumby!!! How about you? (whomever reads this, that is:-)

All I can say is: oh, boy! I am glad that you mentioned that this is not a quick rebound, however, not to let the grass grow under your feet. I am still getting my credit right and I thank you so much for Philip Tirone. I am taking his course to straighten out my credit life and guess what, even before getting the materials, I did some of the things that he discussed and already it has bounced up 5 points. Now I know people may say 5 points?! But I am excited by it; I found some errors on my credit report and there it is. Now this news about Fortune magazine. I will buy the magazine and read the article, but I have got to tell you my nerves are jumping. I am doing a million things a day to get through reading, your blogs and anything I can get my hands on meshed in with the daily routine of living.
Thank you for everything, especially for Philip Tirone.

We are still seeing prices in SoCal go down in price, but a lot slower. Now is definitely the BEST time to get out there and get going! Embrace the struggle, but keep going forth and taking action. Its the only way to success. Thanks for letting us know about the article. I don't particularly live by what the media says as they are wrong so much, but, its true. Population is still increasing, even if at a lower rate, and people always need a place to live. So, whether its rents that increase or house values, REI is where its AT!!! Never stopping, never giving up!

All the best,
Tammy

Hi Dean! We are totally seeing things pick up in different areas around us. We didn't get hit as hard as many states in the country, but things were slow. We are seeing homes selling much faster. It's a great time to invest. Thank you Dean for inspiring us to kick things up a notch and make things happen!

Dean as a Realtor and now an investor I have seen the high times and the low times. It's amazing to see how Realtors continue to bang their heads against the walls. Now is the time to buy and the market will comeback and it will take time. Looking forward to a sound financial future.........taking action is the key listen to Dean.

Thank you, Dale and Roberta

I have to say.. I will need more support and help. I was laid off for 10mos spanning 09'10' been back to work and now have 3 homes. 2 upside down in Calif. How can you and your team help me to capitalize on this?

look forward to moving to the next level!

Hello Dean:
I first bought your book:( Be a real estate millionaire.) Back in August of 08. I basically have no money of my own to eat with let alone to buy real estate with.
It has taken me time to grasp the concept of using OPM and as a result I still have not made my first deal, because I was frozen from fear, like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming truck.
I dont wanna be left behind, and after watching this video I feel the time to move is " now."
I am currently working on a deal in the local area that I've taken a particular interest in.
But its a two bedroom house, and the bank is in pocession of the Deed.
I wanted to lock it up under contract, but I dont know how to go about doing that with a Bank involved. What method would you use on a deal like this ?
I thought about using the Greg Murphy Lease Option strategy, but I still have not assembled my Buyers and sellers list. Well, I do have a few buyers on my list, but none of them are interested in a small two bedroom one bath house.
On a more positive note, the house has a full unfinished basement where someone who might be interested could, build a guest bedroom and an additional bathroom, downstairs.
I dont know what to do, but as you pointed out in the video," Now !" is the time to take action.
( Any Suggestions ?)

WOW! chasing the dream! i was just reading you and joe's story today in deans "your town your real estate profits" i must say you guys are very inspirational! it feels like im posting to celebrities! lol. keep up the good work and Dean you are truly THE MAN!

Thanks Dean for the heads up. I am working hard to close the first deal. I will not give up. Failure is not an option just an excuse.

Procrastination is where oppurtunity is buried so I am digging.

Thanks again

Great blog once again Dean! We'll keep it going. Thanks for all the time and encouragement you give us all. Have a most blessed day!

Wow Dean, You've done it again.
It is so reassuring to hear the excitement in your voice. We have alot of bank owned properties
here in Vancouver, WA. and there is a real need for more rentals. Thanks to you, I am learning how to fill that nitche.
Thank you for all you do for us.
Keep up the wonderful things you are doing.

Dean Tanks for all this information, Thank you that you look up to all of us in so special way.
God Bless you
Thank you.

Right as always dean i'm seeing alot of things happing even when i'm at my rei clube every month the people i network with and talk to say the same things they are picking up slowly but surely and i'm doing my best to take action and get in on it too!

Dean,
numero uno.#1.
I have checked out others & although they may be good in their own way,there is no comparison to you.From now own you are the only one for me.(your website,your success academy-which I am a member currently,your tools).your inspiration,knowledge,dedication to your students is immeasurable & beyound comparison.Please never stop-there are many out here like me starving for knowledge & ready to "TAKE ACTION".
ALSO many thanks to all the veterans & others who participate & share their experiences on this site.
May GOD bless you all and your families.

It is good to hear that the Realestate Marked is on the rebound.
thanks for the info

That's funny because I was in the airport and saw the same article I was drawn right to it !! I got a little nervous because Now or Never was just eating at me for whole flight from Orlando to MASS. Back to the REI grind , and Thank you DGF

Yeah I think I heard about the market going up on HLN news about A few days ago. I'm still Trying to Get my foot in the Door I'm trying to Get Deal's here & all .

Thanks Dean for another great blog, and for the Real Estate Market predictions! I have to say, learning and investing right now is the chance of a lifetime. But I'll add that learning ANYTIME is the chance of a lifetime!! We've had some AWESOME opportunities the last three years in Real Estate Investing. But I find each day, as the market fluctuates, it creates new and exciting, ONGOING chances of a lifetime! NObody can say "Dang! I missed out!" because it's here NOW! (and TOMORROW and NEXT YEAR! ))) That's what I love about you and what you teach us! It is more about making it work for ME, in MY area, in MY market (because we all know it varies around the country) and we don't HAVE to search for the "hotspots"-- we can find the great deals in our own backyard. Don't wait for all the conditions to be just what we think they need to be. No excuses! MAKE them what you want them to be!! Woohoo!

Thanks Dean! Deals just keep getting bigger and better!! And I'm so excited to see what you've got up your sleeve with the private money! I use PMLs almost exclusively now for my deals. Who wants to spend their OWN money(or even HAS their own money to start with, for that matter??)! AWESOME!!! Even more possibility for DG fam!!!

God bless! See you at the EDGE!!!!!

Still your biggest fan,
Rina

Thanks Dean for the heads up! Time for me to get a move on REI.

Hi Dean

I just wanted to let you know that your video blogs you posted last week were not offensive to me at all. I watched them all and understand what it is that you are trying to do and I appreciate it very much!! Just some more info I need to help me along the way. Thanks for all you do for me.

Craig Smith

Hey DG -- Thanks for the encouragement. Always timely and helpful. We haven't yet done a deal but are encouraged by all of you. We're gearing up to get it done.

Thanks again, BrownPillar

Thanks Dean,

We're so glad we got into real estate investing when we did. Haven't got that first deal yet, have to dig deeper and thanks to your encouraging words every week, we're not giving up,got to keep movin. So thankful for everything we have received from you and the DG'rs. All are a God sent. It is a privilege to be able to post on your site. Such special people!!! God Bless!!!

Thank you for always thinking of us when you come across information to share.

I suspect you are correct but things are not moving that fast here in Canada..Banks and trust co.s take 5 or 6 days to respond to offers and they have insurance co.backing at a certain price so they will only go down so far.welcome to Canada

Hey Dean and everyone, Great blog! Just wanted to see how everyone is. I have been on site but haven't been posting much. Just very busy with many things going on. I hope my DG family is doing well. I can't wait for new book and other products to come out. They can't come soon enough Dean. = ) I promise I will be back on here more when things slow down.

I just read your e-mail and you wanted to know what I think. Well, I am in total agreement with you. The market may be starting to try to turn and rebound but it will take awhile. There are many factors to consider and this recession has been compared to the great depression. There are still other things that could happen to have a negative impact on the economy. There is no doubt that eventually the market will come back and I do not want to be one of those people who did not take advantage of this opportunity. House prices may be on the rise in some places but gas prices are rising too. Then there is all the talk about government shutdown and de-valuing of the dollar. The bottom line is we do have an opportunity now and need to make the most of it. Too many houses sitting empty and no new building happening. Then a Presidential race in the near future. Its going to be interesting. Here in Sacramento my REI group is saying 12-18 months to see some rebound. Also there is supposed to be another million foreclosures to hit the market this year while banks are working on the so called shadow inventory of REO's. I know people who are still talking about walking away because they are upside down. I think 10-15 years from now my house will be worth more than it was at the top of the bubble. As soon as I possibly can I have to make it work and get another deal. I consider the home I am living in to be my first deal even if it was in 2000 that I acquired it. If you have a property in your pipeline that I could acquire I am definitely interested. Again I am very grateful for you and all that you do.
