OfflineDay one of my journal.
In May, 2009, I signed up for the Success Academy. I made one phone call to a coach and then totally froze. I was overwhelmed, scared, and had no idea how to start. But I'm still at it because last month I bought the Set For Life system and it came with a 30-day checklist - that helps me so much! I'm just a checklist kind of girl! So this is one of the items on the checklist and I'm doing it! I will come back here as often as I can remember, to keep myself accountable to you all and to myself.
Also, if there's anyone in the Seattle area that wants support or to team up, please feel free to contact me!
Thanks in Advance DG Family!

My step-sister and her husband have been trying to sell their condo for the past 6 months. I asked if I could help and I posted a generic ad on Craiglist for a rent-to-own. Someone responded! I will count this as my first entry on my Buyer's List! This is very exciting! How amazing WILL (not would) it be WHEN (not if) I help my sister and her husband AND help someone buy their home??
And thank you Walt for the nice welcome!
Wuhoo!!!
I met with the Sellers (in this case, my step-sister and her husband) and they are frustrated and done with trying to sell their house using an agent - yay for me! They're open to Seller Financing as well as Lease Option. The monthly cost for their place is high... but they're willing to walk away at a 15% discount from their asking price. Now I have to find the FMV based on comps in the area, does that sound right? Game on!
I studied and did a lot on Saturday (Day 1). Sunday (Day 2), I took the day off to spend with my boyfriend (pre-planned). Today (Day 3), I'm at my day-job with plans to do at least 1 hour of REI tonight. I'm struggling today as I don't feel well so I'm trying not to beat myself up if I don't do "enough" today. The challenge is that I still want to help my step-sister and her husband sell their home and I don't have much time to do it - so I don't have time to be sick! You hear that body?! I'm still really excited to be helping them so if I don't get "enough" done today, I can do a little extra tomorrow, Wednesday, and the rest of the week.
Well, my step-sister's house is upside down. The going rate in her neighborhood is $50,000 less than what she owes on her mortgage. In this Buyer's market, I don't know how to help her! I'm really disappointed.
On a fun note though, I'm going to my first REI club meeting tomorrow! I will print out some business cards tomorrow (at work) and then off I go to network, meet other like minded people and hear about REI! I'm very excited!
