GETTING A STRONG BUYERS LIST

The sites I mentioned tend to have to direct people with money or know someone with money, so use them just as much

I know what you mean. It seems that in order to do any of the steps, you need to already have something else ready. I want to go to some meetings or put some ads in to get the investors, because I think I need them first. My problem is when I meet them, won't they expect me to already have some properties or at least have past properties that I've sold, before they would want to give out their information? Do you have to be a member to attend a meeting? The membership fees were high for the ones I've enquired about. My point I guess is that it will be obvious that I am green.

I am very new at this but when I saw your question it just reminded me of what one of Dean's success stories said. I just can't remember which one said it. Anyway, he wanted to live where he grew up, so he traveled there and looked for deals there and placed ads there. So what I'm suggesting is, do some research on surrounding areas that would be worth the drive, to find areas that do have a strong market. And remember that you can't go by what a real estate agent thinks of the market. We are looking for people who are ready to sell (for less) and people who are looking for an investment. We just work a deal that leaves us something in the process. Real Estate agents don't see the market in that way. Hope that helps.

Where in california are you located? We Are in Castaic and would love to connect with local investors to share ideas and brainstorm.

Question: Isn't that called 'bait and switch' when you advertise something that doesn't really exist --- and then try to hook the responders on something else when they call? Big-time illegal. Or correct me if I'm wrong wrong wrong. (Cause, what do I know after 8 little days?) Here to learn. Ghost ads and all ...

you and I are in the same situation, I am confused and don't know where to start; my husband and I have 5 properties we bought a the auction (Tax Lien); but because we are not educated the houses are not working for us, we have one in need of total rehab and cannot get funding; so I am like in a maze with bill piling higher than a mountain; I sign up for the three course with DG in June in my area CT Hartford; but I need some advise now to start pushing forward.

I am also in CT, and its not bad once you have some knowledge; leave that real estate agent alone and go scouting; I haven't made any deals on Deans program as yet, but I do have a few properties and not using them the right way; and this is the reason why I went to Dean seminar and I will be doing the three day course in June. My husband and I visit the auctions frequently and we drive around and look at properties. You can locate buyers and seller online. I just when to the seminar one day ago and already have 7 buyer on my buyers list, by going online, what I notice is that you have to be proactive and think outside the box; you have to get rough and dirty and pound the pavement do let anyone tell you different if your gutt feeling is telling you that you are making the right move; there are investments in CT, foreclosures like crazy. We use all our cash buying what we already have and now broke, because we do not know how to use the properties, we hav tenants but its not enough. Keep postive.

your the guy huh?!=)...i have to say that the advice you give is direct and to the point and I thank you for that. i've been such an idiot and i'm slightly kicking myself on how easy i can be sold by some individuals thinking that their programs would work better than Dean's =/.. what the heck was i thinking??!.. So i'm just gonna man up and gut this out and glean from everyones experience and never look back.. but hey..thats why success exist..=) cuz failure had to take place..

is just keep picking away and things just pop up =).. resources are awesome..thanks

ma'am =)..it is on my 'to do' list tomorrow!!!.. I'm tired of the sun and the moon going up and down, up and down and yet i still haven't closed a deal.. thank you thank you.. the light is getting brighter

I'm a planner, so I planned,did all the homework,did the research over & over. Procrastinating I guess,thinking myself out of taking action but no more. I'm ready, tired of hearing of others success & getting inspired just to wake up another day & do nothing. All the successful people did something to reach their success they took action. Now its my turn ...Just do it. I'm ready in Hampton Roads Area of Virginia for those of you who don't know where that is Norfolk,Va.Beach area prime location.

My favorite quote is from Dr. Tom Barrett,
He simply says,

Hi:
In Texas for example, rent to own is the same as a lease purchase. I am almost certain that in many states it is the same.

I have done two of these so far and it has worked out fairly well. I would advise you to make sure that your lease purchasers are aware that the arrangement they will be entering into with you is not the same as just being a tenant. Reinforce that this is an arrangement where they are working toward ownership through their monthly payment obligations. If they do their part, you'll do yours.

Some people who are not real estate savy, have to be made aware of what it means to be in a lease-purchase arrangement. Many do not see a difference, but you and I both know there is.

As always a grreaat site for fabulous info. Thanks for everyone's input.
Hope to be able to help someday myself. In the meantime, I'm making voluminous notes. Happy "Saleing". Semper Fi D-LO
P.S. Also taking baby steps for ACTION..following dean's instructions i n his books. See y'all in the Conference Call tomorrow night.

I just starting and was wondering if anyone knows if the lease option is legal in MD

Didn't even realize it but after seeing one of those boarded signs on the road today, I took down the number & had a short conversation w/ the company that posted them. At the very least I received valuable info & more avenues to explore.
Now its time for the 800#.

This site has been incredible!! Everytime I have a doubt or question, there's usually an answer on this site.
Does anyone have any experience w/ the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, NC area? Eventually I hope to expand to S. Carolina & nationwide!

Onward & upward!

I remember thinking that this is probably something that calls for a lot of experience, and savy. There is a wealth of information on this page alone and I thank all of you for sharing it with those of us who are beginners.
