Nancy & Dave's Path

Congratulations on starting a journal! Keep taking action! Looking forward to your success!

Thank you, It was a very busy and wonderful day!

Merry Christmas and may you have a happy, healthy and blessed New Year.

P.S. I love your monopoly symbol!

Way to go you guys rock, It was so great getting to do the one on one with you guys, People like you two make it easy. I do know you two will make it to the top an ae the type of people that will always give back. What a honer to have you two as freinds.

5:40am Just watched Dean's weekly wisdom and loved it. Had to post to it and then check on journal site. Yippee! I got a message of encouragement. Thank you.
6:40 Completing punch list for today. Smiling all the way, because I love what we are doing, and I just know, really -just know this will work and we'll be able to put food on the table, not only for our family, but also to help others in need. I am wondering how long it will take to get our first deal, 4 offers in last week, this week will do at least 6. I'm smiling all the way. Can't say I smiled this much in my old J. O. B.

It was a blast getting to know you and doing the one on one! We can't thank you enough for all your nuggets of wisdom, guidance on our first aggressive offers, how to get to that point and how to get to where we want to go. You are awesome Randy! The honor is all ours. With lots of respect and tons of gratitude, your friends, Dave & Nancy

I talk about you two all the time. I will be sharing with the groups about how when we did the boots on the ground, When class was over you both went to the hotel computer and went to work. And yes these guys have not stoped. I bet it want take them 9 months to their first deal like it did me. Can't wait to read about your first closing. Anyone on here make sure you keep up with this couple. I know they are going to make it work.

Hope to hear more about your progress soon. Best wishes!

Dave and I have been making offers galore! They just seemed to not get accepted. We stuck to our guns, and followed our formula for each and every one. Our first Realtor moved on and politely bowed out. Shocked us what he said and why he did it. Our second Realtor after seeing many houses and also making many offers with him (none being accepted) but, when he saw them, was encouraging us, gracefully retired from real estate! Wow! Now both of our Realtors in 2 different MSAs where gone and we were now hunting for a Realtor instead of property. I was really discouraged. But Randy, our mentor, always had great words of wisdom and encouragement every time we talked. I felt so blessed to know him, much less he would take time out of his busy day to talk to us and help us.
Well it's a long, scary story that perhaps one day we'll tell, but suffice it to say, we made it. We just made our first deal on a 3/2 home that was accepted. We are using lots of borrowed money, whoops, investor's money to make this deal happen. It's a win/win all around. And the first thing we are going to do after we fix it up and sell and actually have the money in our hands (that's when the fat lady sings, and boy does she sound good) is give back. Right now we have only been able to give back a little and I want to do so much more. Our Catholic school needs a preschool and I really want to get that going for everyone, God willing.
It's 4:27 PST and I need to get more sleep. God bless you all and keep the faith. Randy said it took a long time before he landed his first deal! And he wasn't kidding, it took us a long time too, but...you must persist. Good things do happen to those who stick to their principals and wait:)
God's blessings.

Very excited for the both of you. Can't wait to hear all the details regarding the deal. The first on is the hardest.

Persistence is the key. Hang in there Nancy - this is a marathon not a sprint. I promise that it will pay off and you will look back at how much you learned through it. Remember, if this were easy, everyone would be doing it! The winners persist and never give up!
