Hello,

You are an Inspiration to All of us!

Welcome to the DG family.
May you have Great Success in your Journey!

Wow, it sounds like real estate has been treating you well! I have family that lives in Crystal river florida. Its such a small world. Anyway I keep seeing cheap properties for sale in the 55+ communities. Can someone below the age of 55 purchase one of these properties and rent it out to someone that is 55 or older?

Also if the person living there is 55+ can they have someone living with them that is below that age?

Just curious to the rules in those communities. Kinda seems like it might be a profittable niche.

Thanks!

Can you please mentor me and give me some guidance... I know if I had someone like you to submit my questions concerns and comments to, I would really move forward. Keep the good stories coming.

I've done a few deals in Canada myself so I'm an Old Hand at this. However, I am branching out to Florida where the Bargains come to you.
I bought one REO already and have a second under contract. Others come to me from a very good Realtor source....
I need help with the refinance. As a Canadian, I cannot get a US Bank Loan.
I need to get my Cash out of these deals since I don't plan on two deals only.

How could we work together on more North Florida REO's so we all win?

We have bought several REOs here in Fl. If you have any
suggestions let me know.

Welcome to the board and we are so glad to have someone with both of your experience. I look forward to reading your posts and look forward to having you as my new REI friends.

I am not sure if you told the owners you wanted a lease with option or if you had the property first and the buyers wanted a lease with option. Maybe you can PM me and help me to better understand, I feel like I am missing something. You must have perfect credit also, with the both of you doing it together I guess that helps. Hey, I love horses too!

Mr. & Mrs. Ceriani I want to thank you all for being on this site and open to helping people-that's what REI is all about and definitely what the site is about. We young investors look up to you and other with your knowledge and experience. I hope as I continue the path of REI that I can continue to come to yuo for a little guidance. Stay blessed.

Hello,

I read your post on probates and wanted more information can you please list your how-to with probates. It seems like a very viable option and we are interested in going forward with this. I would be grateful for any advice. If you have a letter that you use would you be willing to share it or even a script you use to talk with the heirs on the property.

looking forward to hearing back from you.

Gary and Jill,
I want to do this and be successful, but here is my first question?

I am 48 years old. Bought some of Dean's books and Foreclosure package.
Now I have this Professional Marketing International(PMI)banging on my phone wanting me to give them $319.00 to start and sign-up for about $5K of coaching etc... Thay claim to be partly owned by Dean. Scammers? what say yee?
Respectfully,
Brian

My name is Gene and I just recently purchaced Dean's books and am currently reading them. I really want to get started making money for my family, as I am not currently working and have quite a bit of time to invest in finding homes and findiing buyers. If I could be of help please contact me and lets get things rolling.
Thanx

Just kidding...my husband and I own a home heating oil company in Cape May, NJ. His grandfather started it in 1938. I want to be doing what you are doing!!! We actually just sold our 40" diesel pusher...we are used to taking the summer to travel a bit. I read your story in Deans book and I was like reading our story. I read it to my husband and put our names in place of yours, "Chuck & Barbara" we were cracking up..The rental property we have now, conventional purchase, is not cash flowing. The property taxes have doubled and I have it rented for 2100.00 I keep telling my husband we need to sell this company and do rei full time! He keeps saying yeah yeah yeah, but I am serious. Maybe your story will finally convince him. The Oil business isn't getting any easier thats for sure. Maybe send him some words of wisdom from a successful rei. He needs to know we can actually make money like the oil company brings in. I too, also purchased the SFL system and I really need someone to just get it set up for me. I had no idea how complicated it is. I also am not that computer savy. Well much continued success and maybe we will meet some day!
Barbara

HI THERE I SEE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR QUITE A WHILE. SO I HOPE THAT YOU DONT MIND ME ASKING A FEW QUESTION. I JUST STARTED MY READY OF DEAN'S BOOKS. I HAVE A BUYER AND I HAVE A SELLER. THE BUYER WANTS ME TO E MAIL HIM 3 SOLD CAPARABLE HOME, NO FUTHER THEN 6 MONTHS. WHAT IS THAT? DOES HE WANT 3 HOME THAT I SOLD? CAUSE IF SO THIS IS MY FIRST ACCOUNT. I WAS TOO ASHAMED TO ASK HIM. IT MAY SEEM SILLY. ALSO HOW TO I GET THE DEAL LOCKED WITH THE SELLER AND WHAT DO I DO AFTER I GET THE DEAL LOCKED? I HOPE YOU CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

FROM HAWAII

Gary:
I never heard back from you about what we discussed on the phone a few weeks ago.

Did you decide against working with me?

I am a driven person that have seen the world. I purchase this book to better my future. Therefore; I am so ready to know the next step Dean has for me to do, should I Post ads, check the website, and tell my network of friends, or post up signs around town. My question is: When I do this should I be doing more to generate more buyers, contacting sellers, and realtor groups at the same time. Help! The book gives me awsome tips instead of Detail steps, if I would like to do "No money down"?

Hi Do you know any good property managers or RE agents near miami ?

I'm new and really trying to absorb all of this. Your post allowed me to link over to your story. I hope it can work for me one day. I'm out of work and feeling a bit desperate.
Thanks for your enthusiasm.

I am aggressively searching the SW florida market as well as Palm beach co. on the east coast.

I see a lot of condos in the west palm beach area with great cap. rates and high Potential ROI... Just scared I guess cause I am still in NJ where all my contacts are.

Also...What is your guys opinion of the Cape coral / Ft. Myers area ?

And would love to partner up on a property with you guys if you are willing to mentor a Newbie ! : )

ttys,

Marc

Lets say i have the property under a flex option, and i find an interested buyer ready to purchase, how do i go about going through the final process so i can get paid? im stuck, anyone able to assist me on this one? i think im just missing a few pieces to make this puzzle a full picture. Im also a little confused as to who will be paying me buyer or seller?

Just stopping by to sign in your guestbook!

I have been following your posts on your deals, which have been a great source of inspiration!

Wishing you even more success,

Valerie

Hi, my name is Derrick D. Burns and I enjoy learning all about real estate and the rewards that comes after. I read your story and I have to truly say that it inspires me to do and be much better in real estate investing.

What are some things that you may think I should know and how can I apply whhat is in Dean's books "Profit From Real Estate Right Now" and "Be A Real Estate Millionaire" to get out there in the world and taking real action?

Best Of Luck,

Derrick D. Burns

I'm currently in Afghanistan and will be moving to the Tampa, FL area to attend school, and achieve my dreams of doing my Real Estate Investing..I remember reading about you last year, I had bought my first property in 2010 and then faded away from the DG life due to still being stationed in Hawaii and it's just to expensive to buy properties left and right, and I never found anyone to do business with that were willing to be humble and help each other out, first person I decided to trust, kept $10k from me, and moved away, it's long story, but I lost trust to do business with locals here in Hawaii..I'm willing to open up again, and would love to meet you and learn more of FL from you..do you think this would be possible?hope to hear back from you..

Tho I have been healthy all my life, the last year and a half has made up for it. I am just recovering from a heart attack..I refused open heart surgery and had 3 stents implanted instead. Doing fine,,just tired all the time and sleep a lot. I have kept up with dean's books and ordered The Edge 11 c.d.s (my son bought me The Edge 10 c.d.s.) and his latest book 30 Days to RE Cash..so will be needing a Mtge. Brkr. on my Team!! How generous of you to share..I was wondering how I could manage to find one as good as yours here in West Palm Beach, FL. Your success in RE is awe inspiring and I'm hoping 12 yrs from now I will have an equally inspiring RE busines.
I will be whlesaling my first 6 Deals and then hope to have enough money to Nuy and Hold a deal..I would like to have 3 amazing deals to leave for my children and prove to them they can do this, too. Thanks so very much for your help! D-LO

Enjoyed reading your latest post. I am waiting a short sale myself. It will be our first deal. Unless our continuous flow of offers yields another one first. We have been studying DG, and have been to a few seminars as well. It is a great learning tool and will keep on pursuing that goal. Thank you for your story,,,and happy investing
