John A

I just read your comments on my account page and you really seem to be seriously motivated, I found a link that I think might be helpful to you. It is for REI clubs in Jersey. FInd one or two or three close to you and go there (with business cards if you have them, highly recommended) and talk to the people there, you will find at least one buyer for sure.
When you sign in, ask if you can sit in as a visitor ... (ie for free), my local club charges $125 to join! I did not pay it, I got a lot out of my first meeting with them. I will go back and I will pay the dues, I have just been too busy with personal things lately and just could not attend. I know that many of the people in my group, attend many meetings in the county. I suggest you find a few close to you and attend them all this month ... I would guess that you will run into the same people over and over. Those are the ones you need to hook up with, those are the ones who are serious and are putting in the time and effort to meet other investors in the area.
Look into it, go check out a couple of meetings, take a deep breath, take a leap of faith and talk to 2 people in each meeting (for me it was tough, but I met wonderful people and have 2 great contacts because of it - one buyer, one realtor)
Let me know how it goes.

P.S. Do you know how to post a pic in the profile?

I do not know how to do this, start a new thread and just ask the general DG community, someone will let you know. Honestly, I have never even tried to find out how to do it. I am sure it cannot be too difficult though.

P.S. I'm originally from CT, the great Hartford area......what of CT you from?

John A.

John,

Great picture!

Now then, who is that cutie in the red shirt? (I am guessing that this little person is one of the reasons that you are persuing RE success!)

Angela

Thanks Angela, now it's your turn on getting one up there. You did hit the jack pot on the guessing quiz

Take a look at the post in my page entitled "Possible Investment" & tell me what you think of it. I did what you said & posted a new topic on out of state buying, also to avoid scams from other investors who claim to be lenders.

I am in right on next to the border of Mass...In Somers...Which is right next to Enfield and Stafford...Dunno if you know where that is

I know that area, you're in a good quiet spot in CT, and I know a friend that lives in Enfield which I haven't spoke to in a while. I have fam that still lives in CT whenever I go & visit we can hook up if you like. I hope you get some awesome deals in your area.

Have a good one,
John

thanks...Def let keep me posted if you are making an appearance...It is good to stick with people who are doing things...

def a quiet area...which I like...There are some good stuff around here...Just a matter of getting things working the way ya need them too...

I actually have a couple friends in Jersey too...And Pennsylvania...The poconos PA, and netcong NJ...

The Poconos Resort is a place I def gotta check out, I'm not too familiar with Netcong, NJ.

Thanks for stopping by......and I can actually use you help.... i just finished building my website (teinvestment.weebly.com) and i would love to hear your opinion on it... should i add anythiing? should i taking anything out? should i switch something around? is it understandable?

i would also like to know how to promote my site... all ideas and suggestions are welcome.

the problem i ran into... when i tried to google the keywords on my site it didnt come up... does anyone know how to get your site at the top 5 website on a google search engine or any engine...

My website is Teinvestment.weebly.com

I did click on your site but it says it's not published, so people can view your site you would have to publish it first, let me know once you've done that. In order for your site to be searchable it has to be published first then you can fwd your http link to anyone, let me know if you got that. What exactly does your title mean "rehabilitational specialist" I curious to know. Don't give up & keep pushing!!!

I just got Deans Books about a month ago. I just need some directions on getting started in wholesaling since that seems to be a good way to get started with no money and bad credit. I have spent hours at my library looking for this info. If you dont mind tell me something about it or point me to someone you may know who can. Or anyone reading this please help. I need to make a better life my daughter. I am serious as a heart attack on doing this.

things are going pretty well...should be closing on a multifamily home fairly soon...few other things in the works as well...

How are things on your end?

Just wanted to stop by your guest book and wish you success on your real estate journey. I know you are working hard and learning a lot of great information in Dean's books and on the DG website. Good luck on all your future real estate deals. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

With you as being one of my awesome mentors it will come to pass, to achieve my goals & that I am eternally thankful for, paying attention to my questions.

Faith will take you through that extra mile that you plan on reaching & once you're there you will know it was all worth the hard work & devotion.

Best of luck to you also on your deals!

Your Friend,
John A.

how are things going for ya???

Sorry for the delay, it been like a roller coaster ride with REI, but I'm loving' it! I'm waiting for a deal to come through on a house offer I put in. Got more homes to look at with my agent tomorrow, but I been looking at properties FSBO, either their mortgage is higher than the equity which I had a few of those or the owner was just curious & wanted to know what they can get out of selling right now, the funny is that they showed themselves motivated from the beginning than it totally changes once they find out the results about their property & decide not to sell. How is your adventure coming along, how many deals you made so far?

things are comming along...

in the process of buying a multifamily that is in the waiting process till bank gives the yes again... should be closing in 2-3 weeks...

another deal popped up today, that going to try to assign...seller already said yes, so putting a formal offer in, and hopefully getting it done...

and another offer in on another house that has a pretty decent chance at getting accepted...

So technically no deals, but close on a few...but close don't count in my eyes

Where do you live? Thanks for the message and let's keep in touch ^^

I currently staying in South Jersey, doing some deals down here, but I'm still not far from NY, what u from?

How is it going w/REI for you.....

John A.

Sometimes it could be a slow process but your seeing some results now, I hope you get these coming up, are always putting in on your offers 30% below the asking price, or do you sometimes go over 30% just to get the offer accepted?

Thank you for your interest in my progress. I post most every move I make in my journal. I update it daily. Unfortunately I havent made any "real" progress. But im definitely motivated and with continued support and inspiration I know im destined for success!

Thanks for stopping in! You're not alone in your progress, as long as you don't give up & just keep on getting closer to the break through because it's coming your way in no time. Myself & others here are cheering you on all the way, can you hear it.....go Tracy, go Tracy!!!

John A.

hey John I like how your so encouraging hopefully everyone can strive off you positive attitude!!

Best of Luck!!!

Man, I really do appreciate your positive note on my page, and it's good to know that a person like yourself pays attention to what I write & applies it to their own life. I hope that my words of encouragement will always up lift you & everyone else on Dean's site. You are starting out on the right age, I wish I was thinking of RE investing during my 20's but I'm glad I'm doing it now & it's forever, thanks to Dean & many of the DG family on here for the daily encouragement. You are definately on the right track to achieving your goals so never give up & may you succeed at it 100%!

Everyone Can Make A Difference!

Hi John

Sorry I havent written back. I just checked my account and found your post. I am in a very hard time in my life, I just had an open house today (FSBO), poured rain no one showed. I have had an investor (ex friend and her husband) offer me $140,00 for my house. I have it listed for $249,00 (realtor advised me) I have to say I was very into doing investing (even though at this time I cant get started at it with a job search going on, trying to do some minor fixing up on my house to make it more presentable for selling, and selling it for enough to pay the mortgage, credit cards, and a little ($5,000) to buy a used car, mine is shot, and still walk away with enough to start fresh. After the incident with the investor, I have a different perspective of looking at this investing thing, (from the side of the homeowner who was offered a rediculously low price) and was offended at the prospect of someone profiting from my misfortune. I still want to become an investor, but I now have a hard time thinking of offering rock bottom prices to people who are in the position like mine. It doesnt feel good from this side. I suppose I could get into REO's I would have no problem with low balling banks. Anyway at this time I have way too much on my plate to start investing, cant think of much else, although if I could make money it would be an answer to my prayers, but its too late for me to save this house now short of winning the lottery.
Keep in touch, thanks for the welcome, I may not log in much right now due to time constraints of job hunting, house selling, packing and trying to keep my head on straight (which is extremely hard).

Sue

how are things going for ya?

Send me a PM with your number & I will help you with some options to take on getting you pass this faise.

John A.

Always good to hear from you, what's new with bud? I about to close in on a deal in 2-weeks which I will post it up after for the whole world to see Just been having fun trying to find end buyers that's really the kicker. Finding good deals is not hard to find these days it's finding buyers to assign it. Thank God for advertising it does work thou, so I have 2 motivated buyers right now interested in the property. I will keep you posted on it. Get ready for another cold front it's coming, I can feel it already!

lots of crazy stuff...a few deals in progress...Should be closing 1 of them VERY soon...So that is great...looks as if both of us are moving along which is great...

deals usually aren't a problem...I agree...its more of finding the buyers who want what you find them...but if the numbers roll, you will eventually find a buyer I think...so Ill keep plugging away at that like you are...

as for the cold front, oh yeah...can def feel it coming...lookin forward to that posting...Good luck and hope it all goes according to plan...

Hi John,

I think I'm beyond help at this point, short of winning the lottery. Im having another open house this sunday, I hope people will show and I sell it soon, my brother is floating me for the mortg and told me yesterday he doesnt know how long he can do that. I feel under pressure more than ever, i may have to go with a realtor, (another way to lose more money on this house, I may have nothing to start out fresh with) Any way my email is i dont know how often ill get to check it right now, I am going crazy with last minute things to get ready for the 2md open house, but feel free to email me.

Sue

Just hang in there things will work out for the better. I will contact you by email & help you out to see things moving in your favor, don't give up....

John A

Hey John, just stopped in to welcome you to the family, Anything i can help you with feel free to ask.
best of luck.
Richie.

What is the 'success Group' you said you were on? I have'nt been on here for awhile, lost motivation, still have desire, can't seem to get going on anything. I think I need a little guidance. I feel that I can't get anywhere without $, no one wants to even talk to me about creative finance, they say it is 'dead'. I may be one of those people that need a hand to hold on to to get going. thans for your time. Rick

You're not alone so now is not the time to quit. I encourage you to always come on DG site on daily basis to read all the info that is given to all of us for free, you can't beat that. I always encourage new starters to start with assigning so you can build your income faster then go with other options that Dean mentions. We are all a family here so don't hesitate to ask questions & your a step ahead because your also part of the success academy to help you with REI. Always stay connected here, go out there with your wife & make it happen this week with REI.

John A.

in response to your question. I am sure I can find an investor who invests in Vineland NJ. Lets get in touch.

mike

I will send you a PM about it.

Hey John,
I'm new to REI and I was wondering with the Success Academy, is that an encouragement program by phone?
Are the teachers in the inner circle?
Tell us your thoughts on the program.
Thanks.
Patty-K

Joining the success academy, picture it like a walk in the park. You have highly trained coaches that will answer all your REI questions no matter how silly it may seem to you. They will walk you through your next step in detail that way you can go do it after with confidence, plus you get other tools included to teach you better about REI when your part of the S.A. It's just another great investment that anyone can do when applying Dean's techniques to your REI. It helps you to be ahead of the game, so I do recommend it to everyone not because it's from Dean , but Dean makes sure that he's giving you nothing but the best when your part of his advance program. When your speaking with a coach they are also doing REI not just coaching you on the phone so you can rest assure that they are on top of what's going on in the market today. Let me know if this answers your question & much success to you!

John A.

Hi John ,

Leslie
