Problems Purchasing

If you haven't gotten Dean's latest book, I would reccomed it. You will see that you can "wholesale" without spending one dime. Basically you are the person who finds and locks up great deals then wholesales them to other investors who want a property to flip or hold. You can make up to $10,000 on each deal depending on the property and the market in your area.

Read everything and ask questions. You will soon be on your way!

I do have the profit from real estate RIGHT NOW book but he says he wrote it a little while back and I have tried through 8 different companies to get pre-approved and they first said my credit wasnt good enough because my identity was stolen while i was in iraq but i got most of that handled and spent everything i have to pay off the rest, then i got layed off and now i cant get pre-approved without a 2 year work history at the same job. I make enough to pay my bills with my v.a.disability and they dont use that as income. If anyone has an idea to help me get the first deal I will greatly appreciate it,

Thank you in advance
Robert

The best way is doing assignments or bird dogging or double closings. Using these techniques your credit or cash wouldn't be an issue. In the book chapter 8 talks about assignments. You can also use the search engine on the home page to read older post on these topics. Much success to you..........Lubertha

Things happen for a reason. You are already an investor without knowing it. You have sign on to the DG website, and rented out your home (hope you factored in extra money for cash flow). Like was mentioned before, you need to purchase Dean's books, join a REI club in your area, choose a mentor on this site, knowledgeable about the business and put your plans into action. You have life and that is your greatest asset right now. It is time to obtain your material assets. It is important that your acquire as much knowledge as you can on the business of real estate by reading the various postings on this website, viewing the collection of forms and networking with individuals in the business. Fire all the negative people around you who will get you nowhere, and do not let anyone tell you, that you cannot realize your dream.. God Luck and God Bless.

Anyone can invest in this market. There are amazing deals out there, you can start with assigning contracts, you can look for a private hml, you can go for a property and get seller financing where they hold the paper, that will give you time to establish credit until you refi. Don't stop, you CAN do this!

Hello,
doniwhatyoucan i wish, I had words for the replys you received,You name what just happen!You are in good hands...I hope you know, you will have to take action on your info for it to work!

I didnt mean i was renting out a house i meant that the house i live in i pay a landlord not the other way around sorry. And the name is my email wich is from the army sorry if that was a bad name to use it is just easy to remember

Like many, deciding how to start is difficult. I have a home in VT but work in MA where I also live most of the time. I have a real estate connection in NYC and a conciere service connection in FL. I should be able to make some money, right? I was thinking that assignning REO's or preforclosures would be a good lace to start. My concern with preforclosures in that the sellers may persive that they are being cheated even though they are being saved from forclosure. How do you buy their home at 30%-50% off the FMV and still make them feel good about it?

Thx,

David

Check out CraigsList. There are sites of investors looking for properties. Thank you for your service to our country. Good luck.

Firstly, as said above - thank you for your service to our country. Second, the best advice I read here is to bird dog and do assignments. They do not require anything but your time to get you started. This way you can generate some income and begin to repair your credit as well. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to be reading about your successes in the near future. Also - see if there are any good real estate investing clubs near you. Perhpas then you can netowrk with fellow investors and explore new avenues. Dont give up!
And read, read, read this site. There are so many topics and threads that will teach you all you need to know in addition to the books.
