At the Edge Event, Dean said that he had noticed that there are a lot of women getting deals done... and went on to say that 'the girls are kicking butt'!
Sooo, I thought maybe us Ladies could start a thread to see how many active women the DG family has, who following in the footsteps of Carol, Rina, Laura, Gena, Andrea, Jen, Tammy, are out there, taking action!
Come on Girls, let's continue getting those deals done!

Laura - it's true, for the most part, banks will not allow assignments. In that situation, you have to do a double close. This will include closing costs, so you have to build that into your numbers. You can do assignments on most other listed properties and on all unlisted properties - those that you find with your creative marketing!
Blessings & Favor,
Gena.

you introduce yourself as an investor who has a marketing strategy to find great deals in the neighborhood, and you would like to know if he/she (buyer) would like you to send them to him when you have one that meets his/her criteria....

Been investing since 2007, just closed another wholesale flip yesterday! This makes, I honestly have lost count. With the short sales and the wholesales, assignments etc..we have closed, I have to say several.
We are so blessed. The time is now to take massive action and get those deals done.
I know us ladies here in the DG house are truly a force to be reckoned with!
We are here to stay in the investing world.
Stay strong, have fun. Don't ever give up!

I would love to join this group. I haven't done my first deal. I would really love to focus on wholesaling. I just have to find buyers and make a list. My first attempt on Craig's List didn't render any responses. I just have to keep posting adds.
Thank You,
Mimi in Wisconsin
As of today!!

Just started recently. Using the academy and hoping to make a deal soon! I want five+ assignments by this time next year!
Woohoo Shirley! Congrats on your first deal! So excited for you!
Dawna, just stick around and learn as much as you can from everyone here! Also, make sure you call the coaches ALL the TIME!!! use their knowledge as much as you can!
Sandra- congrats on your deals and your perseverance! way to go!!
Laura - with REO's you cannot do assignments, you'll have to double-close; look up the threads on double-closing. For assignments you have to find FSBO.
Mimi- looking forward to your assignments; keep at it, be persistent!!
J-looking forward to hearing about your next deals; one of these days you'll have to teach us ladies about probates!!! you rock!
BIG YEAH for the GIRLS!!!! We continue to Rock the House!!!

I've bought, rehabbed and sold one since January (my first) and am working on the 2nd as we speak.
Anyone in WA state, feel free to connect.

We haven't made a deal yet but we are sooooo close! I keep a journal on here (The Williams' Road from Rags to Riches) to chronicle our journey, get advice and hold myself accountable. Our progress is slow but steady and I refuse to give up hope! And of course, I, the woman, am the driving force behind our company!

Jennifer- you should post your deal under 'deals' so that other investors here can learn from what you did; also, the DG moderators will notice it and give you a 'diamond'. Keep us posted on your next deal!
Renee- I did see your journal-very nice! it does help to keep you accountable, and when you look back a year from now, you will be able to see how much you have learned and accomplished! Keep at it!
Great Job Girls!!! Let's Keep it up!!! Wooohoooo!!!

Way to go all of you! I am new and have not done a deal yet, but am trying! I am plowing through quite a few obstacles and road blocks, but I will get there, you can count on that! When I get it figured out, it is on!!! If anyone would like to mentor, buyer, or to just help me out, please feel free to pm me. Congrats to all that have been successful! Good luck to all that are trying as well! I wish you all a fantastic future!

Hi Robin- as you will find out, this is an awesome site for inspiration, and to learn from so many other investors, including myself, who started just like you, not knowing where to start, or feeling overwhelmed, but try to read as much as you can, and most importantly, take action every day! You will learn so much by just taking action!
Also, take some time to fill out some info about yourself on your profile so that othe investors can know a little about you and where you're from so that they can network with you.
wishing you a successful rei journey!

Just completed my 2nd Deal. This stuff really works. Thanks to all of the DG'ers for their support and forums like this one that motivates and encourages.
If you haven't taken the first step - Go for it. As someone said - Next year will come - will you be in the same position??? or take the leap of faith to move forward.

Way to go Lori!!!
Congrats on #2!!
You are right Lori! Doesn't matter how bad we want it. How bad we need it. How much we wish for things to changes. It's the action that actually changes things.
Once you get that momentum going.......Don't let off the throttle!!
Great job!
God Bless,
Jen

Even though I signed up as a Member apparently in July 2011, that was when I was shopping for a home for hubby and I to live in.
I was super-focused on that project and it took several months to line everything up. We had at least 3 different forms of financing tell us were hopeless without a hefty down payment.
We finally made a deal that had us put up $1000 earnest money, $200 refunded at close and our mortgage payment including water & hoa is half of what we were paying in rent.
I decided if I focused that energy on building this REI thing as a business I could do well.
I attended a preview seminar last week, and though I balked at the sales techniques used and did not sign up for the 3 day workshop I am reading 30 Days and have been scouring this site for the past two days.
I want to step up here as a Female Leader!
I feel like I've gotten to know several of you already from posts & journals, am looking forward to getting to know all of you and learning how I can serve.
be well,
Maran
I have 6 offers in should close on one this Friday .
Congrats to All Who Have Made REI Happen Already in Life
Encouragement to All Who Are Still Working REI
Thanks to Both Groups for Helping Those of Us Who Didn't Even Know the World Existed Before Now
Found the REI world, as an investor, less than 45 days ago. Since then...
