OfflineIt's that time of YEAR ... The year of Manifestation... Making Something Happen in your LIFE!!!
My mentor told me the other day.... "The ONLY investors who make ANY $$$ or the one's who MAKE OFFERS!!" Boy, was he right!!!
After nearly 2.5 years of self-study, watching various forums and even offering some advice or two.... This never placed any $$$ in my pocket!!! Don't get me wrong, I do not regret those days, months, even years of preparation, however, at some point YOU have to take the "thing" by the horns and DO SOMETHING!!!
I struggled with FEAR, like MOST of U... Who read this site day in and day out!!! I struggled with the "what if's" But, one day I realized I can NO LONGER allow the FEAR and QUESTIONS to paralyze my destiny and purpose!!! So, I just LAUNCHED out with everything I had within me and have not regretted one day of this journey!!!
I hope to see some results from my nearly 30 offers on the table thus far, but if not... I'll be back with more OFFERS!!! I am not worried about the offers, which do not get accepted, but those which do... Because once they are accepted, I need to market that baby like it ain't no tomorrow!!! I love it.... I love it.... I love it!!! Keep watching this site for my next deal is just around the corner!! Shalom....
NICE!! That's exactly what I'll do.
Thanx a MILLION+
Hi Shalom! Thanks so much for that advice. I promise, I'll keep searching for the right agent =). I appreciate it a lot.
By the way, our realtor showed us a house we want to make an offer on. The house is listed at $238,500 and we would like to offer $210K-$215K but our realtor says he can't do it because he sees a lot of offers and offering low is just a waste of time. I am really a newbie on REI but I am willing to learn. What I can't understand is he told us that we can offer anything we want but when we tell him to submit our offers of $210K, he said he can't do it. I am just so frustrated that he does not want to submit our offer. What he want to offer is $235K and he said to ask for $10K closing cost and some repairs on the house like stove, and dryer hook up because the house does not have an exhaust for the dryer.
Also, I am just curious as to how short sales work. We have some properties we want to look at and make offers on but our Realtor don't want to look at short sales because he said it will take so long to close like 6-9 months? Is this true? We want to look at a property that is a short sale and it's on the market for over 210 days and it says "subject to lender's approval". Kindly please someone advice me on this? We really want to buy a house we can move into.
And one last question, if we change agent, do we have to go to the process of getting pre-approved again? Also, we'll we be able to look at a property by calling the listing agent without our realtor? Thanks so much in advance! ^_^
Hi June! You say you're a real estate agent, will you be our agent and submit our offer to the bank? Our realtor don't want us to submit offers. He want to submit offers base on what he know will be accepted and we really want to make some offers on the properties we're interested in. I live in San Diego, 92139 area by the way. I don't know if that's far from East Bay but we're looking for a new agent who can submit our offers to the bank. Oh and do you have any advice for us regarding short sales? We do have some properties we want to look at but our realtor doesn't want to look at short sales because he said it take so long to close. Thank so much for your advice in advance =) - G.R.
so you use a purchase agreement to submit your offers?
