YOU GOTTA BELIEVE

Thanks! I have been absent too long, and its great to be active again! Interacting with everyone on this is such a boost! The excitement is infectious

Hello, and thanks for reading the thread and making a post. Its wonderful how we all inspire each other here!
As far as your deal question, I would first suggest you post the question in an appropriate forum area since its going to be buried in this thread and not many people will see it to respond. That being said, I will answer as best I can. From what you explained it seems you have two options. First, if the investors contract is assignable, they can assign it to you. If you wanted to then re-assign it to your end buyer, you will have to be careful with wording and verbage in the contracts as it changes hands. And everyone who takes the assignment needs to honor the terms as they are not negotiable - the down payment, closing date, etc. I have actually not heard of a 'double' assignment, but it doesnt mean it cant be done. More likely you would do a double close - where you actually close and then simultaneously sell/close to your end buyer. I have never done either so I would suggest digging into the forums for more info on this.
The other option is to refer the buyer to the other investor and get a bird dog fee.
Either way you are in a position to get a deal done! Good for you !

I really enjoyed your entry. I recently bought Dean's book and really just need to take the first step. I have really learned a lot from all of the people on dean's site. Now, it is time to take action. Your words are just what I needed.

God bless,

Lori

Thank you for the advice and I will check other forums for the details Again your story really is encouraging...sometimes you need to hear other ppl success stories to keep the faith and motivation for yourself. Just to know it's possible and can be done... because people nowadays are so eager to crush your dreams and show negative attitudes because their prob not happy with self. I'm gonna keep educating myself and striving for better because I deserve it....can't wait to be able to share my success story

You sure have come so far. I'm glad to call you a friend, you really have inspired all of us. It's great being your own boss. Keep on rocking.

Congrats on getting started and joining this great DG family! In case you didnt read the entire post I have some great first action step ideas in post #24....I cant stress enough the importance of writing down your daily goals and sticking to them! Even crossing off the smallest action item will give a great sense of accomplishment! Keep me posted on your progress!

You will find tons of info here to help you for sure! And stay tough and dont let anyone steal your dreams. I cant put into words how amazing it feels to have known nothing about real estate and yet I made it happen against the odds. Its so empowering since I really had no other opportunity to create this kind of success for myself. Thats what attracted me in the first place - this is a chance to make a true career for yourself and you dont need a degree to do it either. Just will power, determination, a willingness to put in the time and effort and learn and take action! I love being a role model for my own kids to follow their dreams too! Doesnt get much better

How the heck are you my fabulous friend? Miss joking around with you and Jan! He mentioned your new RE ventures - would love hear the details sometime. So many avenues to explore, right? Will you be at the EDGE this year??? Hope so! Keep make deals!

great posts. so glad to "see" you back again. thank you for remembering us and coming back to lend that support and encouragement. would love to hear about the deals you have going on.

Nice to see you too my DG sister I will take the time to post in more detail some of the deals I am working on - promise! I have been spending a ton of time "lurking" in the background, reading and catching up with everyone (old and new!). Its really amazing to me how many new people join this site every day - what an incredible movement. And the beauty is that there are enough deals out there for all of us!

glad to see you are rockin it still.great advice and keep up the great work !! see you at the edge !!

Thank your for your honest, open and fantastic post about your journey in REI!!! I hope you really know what a true inspiration you are!!! I love your story. Thank you for sharing.

((((HUGS))))

Your DG Sister,

Lea

Nice to hear from you, and thanks for your kind words! Hope all is well down there in the land of sun and fun

What can I say you are Amazing! We'll let you know when we make it to KC sometime. Chip has some family there. Wish you all the success in the world!

~Andrea

How goes it my friends?? I would LOVE to see you guys here in KC. You could probably show ME around tho haha...kickin it in real estate but still learning as far as the social end goes

Hello Laura
I don't post many comments but yours reminded me that I need to work harder and keep moving forward.

I liked the #24 post and your suggestion to make goals and move them to the next day if I don't get to them. I don't know how many of my own lists I've stumbled upon days or weeks later only to realize that I didn't get that task completed.

Best of luck to you on your future endeavors! Thanks for the motivation!

Whats going on?! Well I should even have to ask that after reading about your upcomings in REI. I am so happy for you and could not think of a more deserving person. I just printed out #24 entry. I will use this like a boost to try and get this real estate engine of mine cranking again. I could kick myself in the butt the same way you kick a car when its not acting up to par.
I will get back to the actions I use to take and more. Im like the lil engine that could right now, " I think I can, I think I can!!"\

Again I am so pround of you and your accomplishments and I so yearn to be in a position in life similar to yours. Keep up the good Works and I will See you at the TOP!!

Well, Anyone that was at the EDGE this past weekend and got the chance to meet Laura you realized first hand how AWESOME she is Thanks for being such a great friend and inspiration to all of us!

It was nice to finely meet you in person. Thanks for speaking with us at the Edge event. You are a REI Rock Star.

Steve and Veronica.

great to see you and hang out at the edge ...we had an amazing time learning and some serious rei sharing at dinners and table talks .you are def an inspiration for us all.see you on the cruise ??

Laura,

Your posts are so inspiring. I have been reading and taking notes for a long time, and now feel like I just need to take some action. If I fall down, I will pick myself up - having learned from my mistakes. I want this so bad I can taste it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your encouragement!

Denise

A bit of a delayed response to your post - but thanks! I wish you all the best - real estate is super exciting, challenging, fun and REWARDING !! Make it happen!

My heart is so happy to see you still posting!! You DO have it in you to be successful! I knew it the minute I read your journal my friend. I hope and pray that you find that key to open the door to your first deal. No doubt you have worked so hard for one so far!!! But remember the difference between those that are successful and those that arent is that the successful ones never quit!!!

Gee guys, you got me blushing here And I say the same about you guys!!! You have been an inspiration to me along my journey, and I'm honored to call you friends. I sure wish we had more time together at the EDGE...but dont forget Andrea - you're in charge of that girls getaway weekend

So great seeing you folks in person and sharing some time too! Wasnt it exciting and motivating and so many other things all rolled into one I dont really know if I deserve the REI rockstar title, but I will use it as a motivation to live up to haha

SOOO great seeing you and your family too. Its so cool your son was there and getting into real estate. Like a young Dean!!! It made me jealous and wished my youngest would do the same. I have tried to inspire him, but you cant force it right? Thanks for all you shared over the weekend, and the cruise is on my 'to do' list

Thank you for the kind post! you definitely sound like you are at the point where you have enough info and its time to pull the trigger!! I know that step is full of both excitement and fear - but if its fear let that MOTIVATE you, NOT paralyze you!!
There a comes a point where the book knowledge maxes out and you need the knowledge that action gives you - by both successes and so-called failures and mistakes. Remember there are no real failures - just lessons!!!! So go out there and take some action!

Ok, since coming back from the EDGE I havent had a spare minute but I love it. Havent even unpacked my suitcase - its true! I've been slowly unpacking as I dig and get things I need lol! Well - I think I'm going to move over to my journal, since this thread was more about inspiration than my deals. So if anyone wants to follow along heres the link:
