Who's YOUR Investing BUDDY?........asked Dean Graziosi

COME FIND YOURSELF A BUDDY!

Hello Everyone,

This is another great idea from the E.D.G.E 2009 Conference. At the end of the conference we were asked to choose an :investing buddy"

The role of this person is to help keep each other accountable. Its a way for us to have that One-On-One support when we need it.

Lets use Rina and I as an example. We call and text each other on a regular and at times, daily, basis. We discuss REI, personal stuff, ups and downs and so much more. WOW!!!..... isnt that a great thing to have...a person you really can communicate with and also have the same person be your support base in your REI career!

Now for the sake of growing and improving I am suggeesting that WE all select our "Real Estate Investing Buddy"

I partnered with Brenda, Victorville, CA and Lloyd, Louisiana while at the conference. So from now on we will be each others guidance, mentors, supporters and al around NEW friends.

Remember....surround yourself with like minded people and you will have NO CHOICE but to SUCCEED!

So lets start here and tell us who your investing buddy is or better yet post it here that you need or are looking for one.

This community is the best I have ever encountered and all I can say is that if I were looking for great support for me in my REI career, what a better place to start then DG.com.

Great Idea Anita!

I have been leaning pretty heavily on Rina (I'll bet her shoulders are killing her too!) Smiling since she's in WI, but if anyone wants to lift the burden I've put on her, I'm game to buddy up with someone! Just let me know if you're game!

absolutely!

Anita, you are absolutely right. Even if you did have an RE buddy locally, I think there is nothing like having someone connected across the country. It helps you expand your mind and keep you from being "stuck" in the statistics of your own market. I know it helps ME think outside the box and gives me confidence to tell people HERE "I KNOW it can be done, because there are people doing it all over the country!"

Thanks again for all your support, friend. And I am so glad you are back and feeling better. Missed you. Smiling

Rina

Dawn,

you're funny. Smiling you are never a burden.

Did you meet the "stalkers" yet? lol (inside joke) Tom and Debby live down closer to you. Actually, she made me think of you when I met them at the event.

This is them.

about Tom & Debby

I saw the pics you posted of the three of you, NICE! I posted a little note on their account page & told them where I'm from. I think you should share the "stalker" story! Sticking out tongue It sounds interesting!

I'm looking for a buddy

I'm just about finished Profit from Real Estate Now. I feel a little overwhelmed although want to get started. Where to start is the question. So much info in this book.
I've joined the Real Estate Success academy and I'm apprehensive about that, being unemployed I'd like to get the wheels rolling ASAP.

Any suggestions?

Sincerly Charles


ring true...

This is very true on my field of work too. Most of my clients indicated for them to be successfull in following a trainig program they need a partner to keep reminding each other of their goal or goals. Definately there are some down moments in everyones live and thats where your partner comes in handy. I need one here in NY...any takers...lets meet and have coffe at starbuck near you.

Cheerss!!!
V.V


Great Idea Anita!

I think that finding an "investment buddy" is a great idea. I believe I could benifit from something like this. I have to disclose though that I am a "Realtor". Hope that doesn't turn everyone away. I am located in Phoenix, but I don't think that being in the same location is important.

Hi Al

I missed you so much last weekend...smile

But as far as finding your REI buddy - I happen to think that finding someone in a different location would be better for both parties. It wll give you a broader perspecive on the market and strategies. So I hope you find a good partner and being a realtor...lol...well I wont hold that against you either.

"FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION"


Investing Partners

I can say that I have really partnered up with KimmyJ & 5Henterpizes (aka) Kim & Dominic. We Email, Call & have been helping eachother out.
We all live a couple of hours from eachother in California.

All three of us have been on Deans site for quite sometime now and we have been racing to reach the finish line of that first deal.

KimmyJ has been a go getter. She has been working on her REI career so hard and I have total faith that she will pull it off.

Kim & Dominic have done the same, When they came to Deans site, they started applying the steps they where told right away. So close for all of us.

As for myself, I found a mentor/coach in my area and I'm excited to get going with him in a couple of weeks. I have access to him for 15 months and I plan on sharing my success with all.
I can say it has been a struggle for many of us on here, but those that keep pushing no matter how long or difficult this has been on them, will succeed.
There is a reason only a percentage of people make it in REI.
ARE YOU ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE I AM.

Ok im in! anyone interested

Ok im in! anyone interested please PM me. I am in Queens NY. Al if anyone is afraid of you being an RA PM me and I will partner up with you. I love fishing lol.
Rina is one partner I call on mostely but i can have numorous RE buddies:)


I lean on everyone

I have talked to so many people out here it is hard to say who I ask advise of the most. I have started to build a relationship with YURI77 and iloveamerica, but it has mostly been motivation so far. I would like to find someone to buddy up with. Either in MA or not. By the way I am not scared off by RE agents, lol.


California Buddies

I agree with Anita that it would be beneficial to have out of the area buddies for broader perspective. But I must say that it's been REALLY NICE to have my California Buddies Jason and Kimmy!!! We've already been lucky enough to meet up with Jason and his family and we have plans in place to get together with Kimmy at a local REI club that meets once a month.

I am constantly PMing back and forth with both of my buddies and I feel so lucky to have gained wonderful friendships with both of these fantastic people and to have the ability to bounce ideas off each other and give support to one another, with both REI and in private areas of our lives.

Actually, I feel like everyone on this site is my buddy!! It's really just one big REI Buddy Group. Smiling And we are very blessed to be a part of it. I have never belonged to such an incredibly supportive and helpful group of people who truly care about each other, even though most of us have never met!

Thank you to everyone in the DG family. You all mean a lot to us!

Where are you located? PM me if you get the chance.


I need a buddy too!

I am new to real estate investing, I am doing the PMI Academy courses and marketing to sellers and buyers. I found a motivated seller but I dont know what to do, I have to figure out the FMV there are not comparables like the property i am looking at since its a 1850 duplex/barn/farmhouse sitting on 5 acres. All the houses in the area are on less than an acre and are sfr. I dont have a realtor since most of real estate agents I talk to are a#%$^&* and dont want to "waste" their time putting in offers that are unrealistic!

I am feeling overwhelmed I need some help..well alot of help!

State Location

The first thing we have to do is to let each other know what state we belong. It does not matter if we are in-state or out-of-state. Buddying for investing is a great idea. Dean had spoke about this for some time ago. I truly consider every DG family member my REI buddy. However, I have to be open here. I have networked with Rina, who has really supported me through difficult times, she is a God send. Rina, knows more about me than anyone else on this site. I feel like she is a sister to me. Elena, Anita and Matt has also being readily available to answer my questions and has kept an open door policy for me at anytime. YURI77, a newer DG family member and I do PM each other and always keep in touch. Now here are my buddies: Rina, Anita, Elena, Matt and YURI77. I am not only limited to these, I welcome anyone who wishes to buddy with me. To all on this site, I convey sincere thanks for your information and support. Good Luck and God Bless.

hey sandra, I am from pa

I would also like a buddy in or out of state. I want to be able to network with others who are going through or have gone through what I am experiencing and that is like a fish out of water. I really need to talk or vent to somebody.

ivanessa99

Hi Vanessa, I will be willing to buddy with you. Feel free to PM me and we will go from there. We all have to grow together. Dean has provided a avenue for us to realize our dreams of real estate investing and becoming millionaires. God has brought him into our lives for a reason. We have to make every effort, and I mean every effort to find a way to move from Point A to Point B. At the end of each day, I look forward to coming on this site to be quench in my thirst for knowledge. We were not at the conference this year, we have to make every effort to do so next there. Anita reinforcement of the Buddy System is an excellent idea as the outcome will prove later on. Good Luck and God Bless.

Thanks Anita!

Thanks for keeping us accountable to follow through with it. You're my buddy regardless! LOL! The main reason for buddying up is to hold each other accountable to do something real estate related every day, every other day, week or whatever. It's mainly just to develop a system to keep you moving toward your goals and achieving them. If you have someone to answer to besides yourself it's harder to say, "oh yeah, I didn't do that." So stay in close contact with your buddy and make sure you keep each other on track.

I buddied up with Walter from Texas and he doesn't know what he's in for because I'm going to be all over him! Right Walter? Walter? WALTER!!!

Great idea and count me in!

Thanks for starting this Anita - look at how many people have responded already! I have asked Rina questions a couple of times and I love that she has been so available to me. I think she drinks Kryptonite for breakfast.

I would like to buddy with someone to be able to communicate with on a regular basis - to help hold each other accountable. I am in California - I am open to having a buddy within the state or out.

Real Estate buddy system

Hi, my name is Dom and I embrace the buddy system in that way we could interact in regards to our real estate business especially to those new beginners like me. Send me a note and I am here in Las Vegas. I see a lot of opportunities here and I need help to start the ball rolling.


Hey Dom...

I'm Nate and I live in Las Vegas too. I just finished reading "Profit From Real Estate Right Now." I'm eager to get started and maybe you and I can do some investing together. Send me a PM. I look forward to hearing from you.


Sounds Great.

I am definitly up for the buddy system. Would love to have someone to bounce ideas off of and get feedback from. I am going to my first REI meeting in Kansas City this month and am so excited. So if anyone wants to buddy up let me know.


Just wanted to say "Thank you"

Hey, to all my "investment buddies" from the last 13 months, I wanted to say a BIGGGGG thank you! There are so many (Anita and Elena have been my kick in the butt for a LONGGGG time. LOL) What would I do without you? And Matt, and everybody else that I've learned from. Dean certainly had a brilliant plan when he decided to open these forums. And you notice how much freedom we have here? Who else would be so trusting of a bunch of strangers commenting 24 hours a day (literally)??
Thanks again, everybody. And Anita, thanks for the reminder that we ALL need SOMEBODY.

Rina

P.S. and thanks for all the encouraging comments. Actually, it was mostly Anita who helped me get over my fears. gripping, at one point. I owe her a lot. Smiling

Investing Partners Atlanta/Savannah Georgia - Private Lender's

My name is Mark:
First time poster... long time investor.. looking to work with other serious real estate folks in the Atlanta & Savannah Georgia areas. Bought Dean's book "Profit From Real Estate Right Now", read it, and bought a copy for a friend of mine who lives in Savannah, hoping to inspire him to take the leap. I'm ready and have found many great deals in my area.

Looking for Private Lenders to partner with who have experience and understand how this business works.

Background:
I have been out of the investing business for about 4 - 5 years but have continued to manage our rentals through a Limited Liability Company: Savannah Rose LLC (named after our 15 year old wiener dog "Rosie" who was born in Savannah). I began my investing career in 1988 and have bought and sold (flipped, renovated, lease optioned, bought and held, assigned, etc.)over 60 houses. I have extensive experience but as I said have been out of the business for several years, due to some personal matters, but since reading Dean's book, I am now ready to go back at it full steam.

My son just graduated from college, secured a good job and is looking to take advantage of the first time home buyer's market and programs; so we have been seriously looking at deals for him. I am amazed at how many great deals there are out there, hence my call for others to partner with and get the "real estate machine" cranked up again... perfect timing with the market the way it is.

Anyone who has any thoughts, ideas, input... I'm all ears. Thanks, everyone, for sharing all these great experiences, thoughts and general support of one another... pretty unique group!

Warm regards,
Mark

Feel free to PM me... anyone and everyone.
