Donna's road to Success

Donna's road to Success

My husband and I have been on this journey for a few years now. We have some investing but limited to buying rental units. We have been stagnent for a year or so. I saw Dean infomercial and ordered the book, read it then I got the next book. Very Good! Dean made it seem easy enough that I could do it.So I am.
It is time to get started I met with our realtor today; investor "savey guy" I like him. He is interiged about us as we are him.
I am still scared. we put in 5 offers and will be doing 25 a month minimum. Oh Boy! I still haven't found my niche yet. We sent out 500 post cards and I have 4 ads on craigs list.placing more bandit signs and flyers out tomorrow. I get nervous about someone seeing me hang up the signs...
I want this to work so bad I can taste it, if you know what I mean.
It took a while before I decided what to do "fast cash" thats my game. Buy it cheap and pass it on.
I will try to stay on track.

OK lots going on. We have

OK lots going on. We have purchase 3 houses since the first of the year. Ob eis rehabbed and went on the market on Friday 3/20/15 and we got an offer less than 24 hours and agreed on a deal by 27 hours Woo Hoo!!!! WOW! And we are at the price we wanted. Now we have the inspection and the appraisal to get though Deal number 2 is a headache it was a board up... vandals cut wiring and plumbing.. costing extra time and money. We are at 60 days and still waiting on power. Deal 3 will be a piece of cake paint/flooring/decking its a light fixer.
Started a marketing campaign for our company... very exciting and expensive.

Bimal,
thank you I am glad I can help. I get busy and don't post for periods of time. sorry about that.

Right now we are working on financing and more private money. We have a few houses we want to finance.
Started a marketing campaign to grow our management company this is our "golden egg" and it need nurturing. My goal is 300 unit by 1/1/16 that 100 more units.
My daughter and I are getting system going so we are consistently making submitting offers. I had to let my assistant go she wasn't an a player. When she told me "well, you can take care of that yourself " it was over.... yeah that not workin for me...

The end to another week and it been a great one. It is nice to see progress at the end of the week.
Our inspection at our pending fix and flip house went well. All the dots are lining up.
We secure private money 2 times this week one for 100% financing of a purchase and rehab, and the other is a second position loan. I got a cash buyer for my wholesale deal, and have another property under contract.
Focus like a laser beam!

Dan and I have been super

Dan and I have been super busy I haven't even been on here for weeks. We wholesaled on doinker deal, we have 2 under contract, using our new lender (hedge fund company)and it is moving quick! found additional pm for the rehabs, oh we purchased a house, we have another flip hitting the market very soon. and 2 duplexes under contract. 2 rehabs in process.
I had to get rid on one of my main people, a family member at that. But that has been the best thing! I cannot believe the changes in the functioning of the office and the teamwork i am seeing, no more negativity,blame shifter, work avoidance or just plain bad attitude.... I waiting too long and I have to own that . Lesson learned!! It is just amazing. It has been just over 2 weeks and I am so close to hands off with the property management buz. I had just hired a new person and she is great. positive, up beat motivated go getter. the team is doing so well, I already have time on my hands. woo hoo!! Smiling I had been struggling so much just to find time to do investing... It is truly amazing how one person can drag a team down.
Other than all that, I am now able to get paid enough for the business that it totally replaces the income I made at the hospital! So all the deals are gravy!!! I am so happy that 1 year ago I took the leap of faith and quit my job....

Wow

Hi Hun
All this started from a contest to go to the edge!!! Funny how things in life can change so quickly. Roberta and I are so proud of what you an Dan have done and can pass on to others. Would like to talk with you soon about your hang out group as well. Keep on keeping on...Keith


Donna

This is exactly what my big goal is.. Create a biz that I enjoy doing that I can eventually quit the 9-5 and spend more time with family.

One step at a time.

Aaron


Thank you Keith and Roberta,

Thank you Keith and Roberta, All I can say is never give up!!

It has taken a while but we are now getting rewarded for all our hard work and dedication. I do appreciate all of the advice you two have given Dan and I.

Some decision are hard but this is a business not a hobby. We are truly blessed.

Yesterday we got 2 duplexes under contract after 2 months of negotiation. FMV 300k We negotiated 235k all rented. No repairs are needed a little sprucing up would help curb appeal. But these unit are in the hottest rental area here locally.

Hello everyone!!! It has

Hello everyone!!! It has been a while LOL
Where to start.... Earlier this year I changed our strategy to buy to hold and refi out and we have purchase12 properties in 4 months. Wholesaling just wasn't working so we had to adjust. My point being if it isn't working change it up a little. We started accepting 30%discount instead of 50% that is working well with this strategy. But the rule is still the same if you are NOT making offer then you will not find deals. Get out there and make it happen
