Cheers

Richie you are fire. I am so happy for you. Sounds like this could be a big money maker. Awesome.

Congrats Richie/B.C.!
I know you have been working very hard & are one of the few that kept going until.
See you on top...I heard its not very crowded up there.

Thanks every one. Could not have done it without all the support from people on this site. I may reach my goal of 5 props before the end of the yr after coming back from the edge I knew it was a high goal to set from scratch but I felt I needed something hard to shoot for lol.
good luck and Never EVER give up!!!

Richie.

more congratulations are in order! once you really got going, now you can't stop. i hear this is addictive. i bet you will surpass the 5 deals! have a great weekend celebrating!

Hi Linda, thank you for the kind words. It really is addictive! I also think in my case its the fear of stopping. I probably wont get that feeling of satisfaction because I did one or two deals. I get hungrier to accomplish more to reach my goal to retire within 4 yrs. I want to be like Matt, Laura and Rina, where I can live nice and my family is secure financially and do as I please while concentrating on REI only. That is a very high goal I set for myself but I have a plan and hope to follow it to get there. It will get easier the more deals I do.
Never EVER give up!!
Richie

CONGRATULATIONS on deal #2!! Pretty soon a street will have to be named after you LOL!

Lea

Thanks Lea!! I am hoping it comes to that
I am really trying to get as much done as possible before the next yr is out.
As soon as I get the rest of my system in place I will start to pick up steam. It seems like each deal just makes me hungrier to get to where I want to be.I cant thank Dean enough for opening my eyes to this and giving me that light at the end of the tunnel to aim for.

talk soon.
Richie.

Richie; Way to go! Where was this home located?

Andrew

Hey Andrew, my properties are in Fort Pierce FL. Not the best of area's but not the worst. great cash flow if done right.

thanks for the comment.

I don't know how you got this post by me. But I am caught up on it now. Hurry up and get deal 3 I know you can.

Randy

Hey Randy, thanks. hopefully# 3 wont be far behind. I may have found a guy who will refi me asap so I can pull out my money and reinvest it. I will find out today.
FL is a tough State to do things in. I am finding out different things as I go along. But its all good, just a learning experience.

good luck in KC.
Richie.

Waiting for the closing date to come from the agent, PML is ready as always.
The house needs a little more TLC than we thought ,but we'll get around it. Still a great deal and good cash flow after all is done.

AWESOME MAN !! way to go brother, way to take action and make things happen !! i am sooooooooo happy for you.i knew after talking to you after the edge that u had a mindset that would not be detered !! great job and keep motivating and inspiring others with your rei drive!!!!IT IS ADDICTING!!

jay

Hey Jay, thanks. It really has been an amazin ride so far. I actually have bank execs e-mailing ME!! How crazy is that
I have to give credit to Dean and all the speakers at the EDGE. I already was taking action but I picked up some things that has sent me to the next level. Talking to Matt ,Laura,Rina ,Randy, Carol and Dean and a few coaches on their lunch time was just awsome and they gave me great advice. I think I chose correctly when I chose to attend the EDGE over joining the academy.
I am working on some things with the bank REO managers but wont post anything until I know its a go.
keep doing what your doing, You are making some awsome moves up there.

Richie

I guess we all have to be happy for each other, so am just "hollaring"

I'm happy for you keep the deals coming.

You've certainly inspired me to put The Edge in my Day Planner for next year! But YOU deserve all the credit..because you took what you learned and put it into Action. I live in West Palm Beach Fl..can't drive up to Ft. Pierce, but if I can be of any help to you here let me know. I'll do my best. Now on to #3!!! Semper Fi D-LO

All this good stuff couldnt happen to a better guy Having been on your journey from the start I am just so excited to see all your hard work paying off for you. Obstacles along the way - yep - but thats all part of the learning and growing path to success! Really happy for you - keep on making strides forward

Thank you Laura for being there from the beginning and for the great friendship even more so.
It is beginning to come together and once I get that last piece in place I will be flying along.
You have been an inspiration from the beginning and are always there to lend a hand or a piece of advise.
Cant tell you in words how happy I am for your success, You deserve that and the rest thats coming to you.
And I know lots more are coming your way, people like you dont come along very often in life, your heart is tremendous and your courage is more.
keep going my friend and always reach for the stars.
Good things happen to special people like yourself.

Richie

Way to go Richie! I'm so proud of you buddy and keep it going my friend!

Lloyd

good job richie new to deans program .but he seems to be the real deal. again good job . big marv.

Hey Lloyd!!! Great to hear from you, whats happening bro! How did Karls induction go?
Hope all is well for you. Can you believe this, Things are coming together like I never dreamed of. I mean I really do work hard and put in as much time as I have available in order to be successful,but I cant believe that I got two deals in a months time!!
Working on a few things besides these two, like the SS i have going, but that wil take some time to complete. The funny thing is I jumped into these deals in another State scared as hell because I didnt see a thing but was lucky enough to have two great DGers help me and beyond. They are now great friends of mine and we havent even met in person lol. I couldnt have hooked up with better people
I will have to give ya a buzz one day to see how your doing and get caught up on how your Family is doing with the rebuilding process.
good luck on your future deals my friend.

Richie.

Hey big Marv! welcome to the DG family! thanks for stopping in and for the well wishes. I hope to be writing congrats to you in the near future
Work hard at it and you will succeed. Never give up, and keeps your dreams alive.

Richie

Spoke to the agent this past week. She said she thinks it will take atleast 30-60 days to get the paperwork back from the bank.
I know they ( the title co )already cashed my earnest money because i saw the check in my statements.
I have to re read the contract because I thought it said we had to close 15 days after acceptance. But I am in no hurry anyway because I would like to get the duplex up and running first before I turn my attention to the other house next door.

Never EVER give up!!!

Richie.

SO VERY EXCITED FOR YOU ON THIS!!!

Just catching up here....can't tell you how thrilled I am for you.

You are on a roll! Isn't it nice after all the hard work, planning, thinking, doing, thinking some more, watching others, working hard again....such a cycle, and it's nice to see the fruits of your labor pay off!

Cheers!
Louisa

How do you find a buyer for it?

I like that!

To answer your question, I am not selling these homes. I am keeping them for rental income. I had decided a while ago that I wanted to go the buy and hold route.

Thanks for stopping in and good luck!!

Richie

Today I recieved an e-mail from the agent handling the sale. She said that the bank now wants another 1k before they even look at the offer. I looked over the contract and found out I made a mistake. I had put in writing that earnest money due 10 days after offer is accepted, but I didnt think about the owners being the ones accepting my offer, I was thinking along the lines that it was the bank I was dealing with. I made the mistake thinking it was an REO and not the SS that it is. So the owners accepted but the bank has not. The agent said she has never seen a bank do this before. So I replied back to her that I want her to tell the bank I am now offering 9k instead of 10 because after I sent my first offer in we realized that the house needs shingles. I told her to let me know their answer and to let them know that I have no problem getting my earnest money back and moving on to the next house.
Lets see what happens, will they walk away from a sure deal or will they do business
Never EVER give up!!
Richie
