About Me: 

Well, its been an exciting journey since I got the book in April 08! I have bought, fixed and sold my first 'flip' and made 21,000+ profit! I have invested in land in Maine (now worth 20,000 more than when I bought it!) and am actively searching every day for my next deal! I absolutely LOVE real estate investing! This has changed my life and opened so many doors I never dreamed possible. While I dont want to rush time - I also cant wait to see where I am a year from now! For now I am continuing my secretarial job at the local hospital, but my goal is to due real estate full time asap!
UPDATE AUG 09: Have bought an income property on assignment from Rina in Wisconsin, just finishing my second flip house in Jersey and scouting for my next deal.
UPDATE NOV 09: Closing on 2nd flip next week! 25k+ profit. Buying 2nd investment property assignment from Rina Smiling Buying investment assignment in Pa. Possible flip deal with Richie. Wow - can I pull it all off?!?!

Hi Laura, I just wanted you to know that when I saw your story, how you just jumped right in and made money, I thought to myself I can do this too! I was wondering if you joined the acadamy? is ITS the acadamy that I hear people talk about? well thanks again keep going forward. Diane

I apologize for not answering sooner....I really have never looked here for messages - I mostly use the private message funcion. But anyway - you are so kind. I am truly honored to be an inspiration! It still amazes me how I did that first house! Wow, there were alot of sleepless nights, but deep inside I knew I had done everything the right way thanks to Deans teachings and it turned amazing! Now I have a rental in Wisconsin and am working on my next rehab here in Jersey right now. Yes, I did join the academy. They are wonderful coaches who are there for you whenver you need them. Best of luck to you - and YOU CAN DO IT TO! Its so exciting! Let me know of your progress. Again, thank you for making my day with your kind words.
All the best,
Laura

Oh my gosh - I apologize for not answering sooner! I have never checked this area for messages before! I am so honored and humbled to be an inspiration to you and others. What a gift that is! I am blown away every day with what I've done in real estate since getting Deans books. I've dont even hold a candle to most people on this site - but I love it, and am so empowered by Deans teachings. They have brought me the success and self confidence I needed to jump in and make this happen. I look forward to really breaking into it this year and hope the best for you to! Let me know how you're doing along the way!
Heres to success and happiness!

How is it going with the REI? Since we're both in NJ, do you know where I can get a NJ RE purchase agreement, I look on www.nj.gov & didn't see anything there under RE. Also do I need a investor & finders fee forms.

Thanks a $Million & wish you nothing but the best on your deals.

Your neighbor in NJ,
John A.
