SO MANY NEW NAMES AND ONLINE USES ( WONDERING WHO WILL BE THE NEXT SUCCESS STORY

I just wanted to add one more thing for all the new ones on line. When I started out I new no one and had just filed bankruptcy. The first 9 months I did nit do a deal. WHY FEAR. Oct will be my 2 year anniversary and I will have over 50 deals. Now I am friends with a lot of the people you see on Deans tv shows and the one he talks about. Matt, Rina Carol Joe and Stacy, Chip and Audra Laura Jerrome Jan Richie Jay and this is just a few. And all of them are just everyday people like you. All of the names I mention I have met in person. I know when i started all of this the big thing was is this a scam. I am sure glad that i got past FEAR and took the first step. And in closing all I can say is all I have that no one can take from me is my word. So everything here is the truth. GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Randy

Thanks for the post Randy. We hope to be the next success story Randy. Our past has been more of the buy and hold and now with this new program we hope to do a lot more wholesale deals.

I have said before in a post that we don't post every offer that we make on a home but we are working on deals all the time. Some times the banks hold us up some times during the inspections we find things that we can't work with and so on. Any how we hope to be there next to you Randy and all the other names you said in your post.

Much success to everyone.

You know what you said may be part of the reason some people do give up; It does take time and yes other people do hold the process up. But anymore i just take it one day at a time and not get upset over it, I have to always remind myself that I don't have control over other people good luck.

Randy

Thanks For the encouragement, it is sincerely appreciated

WOW! This is our 1st deal and it just kinda of fell in our laps.My husband and I had been watching this 100 acres for about a month so finally we called and she wanted $1500. an acre. (This is $2500. acre land). We talked a couple of days about it. My husband called her back and asked her what is her bottom dollar on this land. We have signed a contract on prime raw land for $1000. an acre. Instant $150,000 equity.
We could not have done this without the help of you all and Dean's books to coach us alone.
I just want to say THANKS A BUNCH. This website means so much to my husband and I. You folks are great!

Hey Randy,

Its so great to hear your personal success story, and I with you the best in achieving your goals.

Im still a baby here & slowly but surely working on my first deal. Today actually im going to be placing my first round of offers on some homes here in Phoenix... I ended up getting with a young Realtor who is also an investor, He and I found about 25 local homes with hopefully pretty motivated sellers and varying degrees of rehab work to be done. We went through them line by line looking for areas to heavily negotiate on price... After doing all my research on these properties, I think im ready to make some good offers & hopefully a few get accepted... On the back end ive been building my cash buyers list, and have some people salivating over throwing some deals their way.

Although Im confident in my abilities Im still soo nervous because I haven't been through the process before & want to ensure im doing everything correctly and legally

If you or anyone else has any tips when making offers to give the best possible results, Please feel free to shoot them my way

thanks so much we all really appreciate it more than you know.

Gee, Jeremy and I feel blessed to be mentioned by you in one of your posts!!!!!

All kidding aside, It is a pleasure to call you our friend, Truly.
You know I don't hand out compliments like that just any old time...Jan

Glad to here from you. you are really missed on this site. Hope all is going well.

Randy

Could someone tell me how to intergrate these two systems. I have them both and would like to use them both.

Thanks

I bet it will be the one who really wants to change their life so bad they can taste it. The person who will step off the ledge of fear without really knowing where they will land. I believe that is how it happened for us.

good luck to everyone!! Get past that fear and jump into it.

Another great post by my friend Randy!!!

You can have anything you want in life, as long as your willing to work for it.

Richie

Thinks for posting your first deal, this is a big plus to let people know it can be done.

Randy

I read your post, I just wasn't sure at what you are trying to do. Are you going to assign are you buying and then selling to a end buyer are you trying to get them cheap enough to wholesale.

Randy

It is always such a positive impact to here from you. Isn't it amazing at all the new names that pop up daily.

Randy

Hey Randy, IT IS really great to see all the new people posting, I kind of enjoy reading some of the posts because some of the questions remind me of when I first came to this site as a newbie wondering if I can do this. I remember reading posts from Anita and sissy and the first pm I got back from Rina. Matt was active at that time also. I was like a kid in a candy shop! There is so much info in these forums that its crazy.
Everyone please take advantage of the forums. most answers to your questions are in them.

best of luck
Richie

Almost all of these properties have been on the market 365+ days and 90% need some serious rehab work... so what I have been doing is going through each one & estimating repair costs then coming up with a reduced offer, 30% - 45% off Market value. The growing list of buyers that I have are are mainly looking for discounted & rehab properties, so Im planning on just assigning most of these deals to them

I've been reading alot of your posts, and you are very inspiring. I'm new to this and scared to take the first step. I've started building my buyer's list, just a handful of names at this point and am looking at distressed properties. Some of the people I have talked to are warning me about making sure I'm doing everything legally. Should I have an attorney look at the sample assignment agreement before stepping into this? I live in PA and was talking to someone who said they couldn't pay me a referral or bird-dog fee because I am not a licensed realtor.

I have been considering bird-dogging to get my feet wet, and then assignments. I like the assignment concept much better because of the larger profit possibility.

Any advice?
Thank You!

Hi Randy,

I'm just getting started with the Sucess Academy!

I'm scared too!

Mary

You could always try the REI groups in you area and this is also a great place for net working. And their is always Deans success academy and hot line. This was the best money i ever spent.

Randy

When I first started I was to, And I had just spent every dime I had. I did go in with a open mind even though everyone thought I was crazy. And yes I did do what the coaches told me to do and I did use the hot-line alot. And the more i did the less fear I had.

Randy

It sounds like you are on your way. bu when I am doing this, I make sure that I am at 65% of fmv after the arv. And I really like to be at 50%. Just keep taking action.

Randy

I appreciate the encouragement! For you to share that you had spent every dime you had and what you did to overcome - it means a lot!

I'll be sure to let you know when I hit my first pay-dirt or deal, which ever comes first.

Mary : D

I have read a lot about Hard money lenders and also using credit cards to fund
deals. I would like to know which in the long run is the better way to proceed
where you won't exactly get yourself backed into a corner.
If (especially) you are without a lot of capital, which is the better way to
go? Any advice? Thank you .

I have no doubt my friend that you will accomplish your goal of being Deans most successful student! You are determined, driven, passionate, creative and most of all a very SMART investor, and I am honored to know you and work with you! Thanks for always taking the time in your busy days to post on the site and share and inspire us all.

I have never used hard money lenders are credit cards. but if the deal is structured right their is no way you can lose.

Randy

To get a compliment from some one like you is a honer that no money can buy. All I am trying to do is give back what was given to me..

Randy

Thanks for all your great posts!

I think you are the next most successful student. As a matter of fact I think you are already there!

Keep up all the great work and inspiring others to do the same.

I was curious, when you started did you use a Realtor to find any of your deals?

Most of the properties I spoke of in the above post were found through a Realtor... Luckily though he is only about a year in ( So No bad habits yet ), and an investor himself, so I'm able to be very transparent about my intentions.

I think though if I were to go out and find sellers on my own that weren't already listed on the MLS I could probably come closer to the 50% - 60% mark... Thats gunna be my next step

Hay Randy, you said one WORD that really kept most people from making it and that included me . "FEAR " I had to get over it fast myself. I heard Dean mention it and a list of other that kept talking about fear holding you back. You just have to over come one of the real reason most people dont get started, or move full steam head to reaching there goal. It sound like you are saying your big step came once you join the success Acdemey and along with there coaching and the DG family it gave you that extra support and confiedence to step out of the fear factor and not to mention the knowledge to understanding the "how to" invest in realestate. It took me 10 months to decide if I was just going to let my life go by wounding if I could become a investor or pick up that 2000 pound phone and make it happen. Anyway I enjoy reading other peoples post so I can stay focas. I'm Happy to know things are going great for you and much more success to come. Matlock

I will take your advice and keep reading your posts. I will check into the RE Academy - not sure if I can spend that money right now. Thanks for being so inspiring to all of us!
