OfflineDean,
It is nice to know that you read each single post that hits your website, so I am honored that you are reading mine.
The level of care and sincerity that you display is heartfelt. The effort that you give and the tools that you provide to ensure each student’s success, is truly amazing. I commend you for your work, everything that you have done, and everything that you continue to do.
I attend college full-time in addition to working full-time at the front desk of a hotel to afford me the flexibility to attend college. On top of all of that, I am a DJ who donates his time to an internet radio station, which at times, feels like another full-time job. So to say I’m busy, is an understatement.
I am trying to get my real estate investing career jump started and the ‘car out of park’, so-to-speak, to start down the road of real estate investing. I figured that if Dean, this kid hailing from a trailer park could do it, then anyone could it…including me! Knowing that I could prevail despite any obstacles, any challenges or economic barriers that I might encounter, was just what ‘the doctor ordered’!
Real estate has secretly been my life’s passion, which until now has eluded me. I not only want it more than anyone else, but I need it to be the ‘vehicle’ that transports me to a better life. A life that you’ve shown us is attainable through hard work, and simply by following in your footsteps. You’ve even provided us countless examples to follow and tons of information which we could utilize on that journey. Even with numerous failures, and weeks of countless hours spent following your examples to no avail, I am not giving up! I cannot afford the university, or the systems that you have offered for sale. I barely make enough money to pay the bills that I do have, much less order your latest system, even on the monthly payments that you so graciously offered.
Therefore, I am publically challenging you! Yes, you and everyone else on deangraziosi.com have read that correctly: I am challenging you! Challenging you to come to my home town, and spend a few weeks working with me, one-on-one. You’re invited to stay with my fiancé and me, at our home, free of charge! If you don’t feel comfortable with that, I will ensure that you get an insanely and unspeakably low rate at the hotel I work at! And after succeeding in our ventures, I will pay for your stay, including food! Either way, you will be made as comfortable as possible, so that we can fully focus on real estate!
I’m challenging you to work with me, from start to finish, implementing the techniques & examples which you've given us, while documenting everything. And In the end, you can use that documentation on deangraziosi.com to prove to the world, and all of your students that you can start with nothing; bad credit, no money, no savings, no family, no investments, while living in an economically challenged area and make it happen!
Dean, you are your own boss, and set your own schedule, so I’m hoping that you don’t try to tell me that you’re too busy, or that your schedule is ‘full’. I am reaching out to you, and asking that you take some time and help one of your most sincere and loyal students. This will not only quiet the naysayers & skeptics once and for all, but it will also help change my life, in addition to giving you the ultimate training video for deangraziosi.com, and firmly cement your position as the world’s authority in real estate, which is what you’re striving for anyway! That is a win/win/win/win situation!!!!
I know that you’re busy, so I will wait until Monday, September the 27th, 2010, 8PM, east coast standard time, for your reply. I am registered through deangraziosi.com, so you have my contact information.
I look forward to you accepting my challenge, meeting you, working with you, achieving my dreams, and documenting everything so that we can share it with the world to help everyone else as well.
You see, helping others is not only your passion, it is mine as well.
“I’m handing you the keys to my life” Dean…and asking you to unlock it.

Hi, Sorry
I was kinda strong in my previous posts. I found two of Deans websites and have a simple-enough idea for ya - since you're busy with school...
The links are to Deans other websites. In one - Dean walks you through one video and gives you an idea of what he likes on the floors,walls, cabinets etc...of a flip. The same site has more of Dean and other 'deal of the month videos'...Here's that link: http://www.deansmedia.com/play.php?vid=114
The second link is to some of Deans people -(some that only got his books), - share what they did. Here's the second link - http://www.deansmedia.com/
You can watch some videos' inbetween your college classes?
Heres' a simple idea:
If you find a GOOD realtor or real-estate agent and have a list of buyers that have CASH - your real estate agent might look for properties for you? Mine has already volenteered and that surprises me. So my realtor looks for properties that match my buyers criteria- (I just give my real estate agent the list of what each buyer is looking for - without divulging private information).
I just make sure proper paper work is in place - so I get my fee (assignment of contract (it pays better than bird doggin))...this frees up your time to finish school and gets you going.
Again - Good luck getting Dean out there and just maybe you will!

(Maybe when you get your first deal done you can join the Success Academy? You'll have a group that will help you move faster-to call on and specific trainings too and phone seminars).
