About Me: 

I'm originally from Sta. Monica, Ca. but I've lived in the S.F. Bay Area for the last 20+ yrs; moved here from Austin TX where I lived for 8 yrs; however, I grew up in Mexico City my grandparents... I became a civil engineer while a single mom to be able to earn an income to support myself and my son; but my heart has always been in Real Estate; just didn't know where to start, or how to do it...
Then, last summer, after watching Dean's infomercial, I bought his book- I was so inspired by the stories of his students! so, I thought that I could learn how to become a Real Estate Investor too... and here I am today, enrolled in the Success Academy, studying the lessons, learning every day from everyone on this forum, and most importantly, taking action! I'm hoping to one day be able to mentor other people, like many of his students do. I do believe that everything Dean teaches does work, and I will not stop trying until I achieve success.

Interests: 
Real Estate, Travel, Gardening & Landscaping, Reading, Scrapbooking :)

Hi Lady

Thank you for droppin by my profile and for your kind words. Yea I talk "purty" good but need to get my walking up to speed. Course Im 64 and dont walk too fast anymore, like Tim Coney's old man walk. Smiling But Im getting there.

I hope you have been able to move those 2 props you mentioned in your bio. Good strategies here...I guess you are a motivated seller Smiling, but seriously, owning non productive RE is very stressful.

I hope your REI is goin great...and with a eng degree the numbers should be a snap for you. Keep us updated on your progress.

Best of luck to you in your pursuit of the dream. I expect it to be a wild ride, but I'm hanging on.(:)>

Any sound Advice?

I am a rookie student that ordered Deans two books for $19.95 just last night. Long story short, I have a friend at work that has given me the opportunity to sell his house if I can lock-in a buyer. His house has been sitting on the real estate market for 7 months and counting. How do I do this seeing that I have only been a member for a little over 24 hours? I didn't get rush delivery on the books so it looks like I have to wait, right?

Hi Val,

SouthsideJohnny's picture

Hope you are doing well and I'm glad to have you stop by my guestbook.

I'd like to let you know that your words of encouragemant and motivation are VERY much appreciated and WELCOMED! I'm really excited about amping up my efforts recently and hopefully the "BIG 1" is just around the corner!

Oh and BTW, my dad was a civil engineer (surveying/construction) who never graduated high school, but taught himself trig, etc. Thought that was interesting when reading your bio.

See you later; here and on the other side (5th St).

To your success,

John

Mark K's picture

and the kind words of encouragement.
I can feel it in the air that everything's building up and, like you said, when that first deal goes through, the dam will break.
Can't wait for that to happen!
BTW, I keep bumping into your replies too, we really have to stop meeting like this, it can only lead to trouble. lol jk

Valuni's picture

it will happen before you know it... you've been working hard at it- the trick is to not give up, ever!

regarding bumping into each other - 'great minds think alike!'; it can only lead to success! Eye-wink

Hey Valerie

Were you looking for buyers or sellers in PA?

Mentor

Hi Valerie!
I have been a fan of Dean for over a year. I have read his 30 day book. To be very honest, I am terrified to make the first move. All the the information offered is so overwhelming. That beeing said I am looking for a mentor. Please contact me if you are interested. I live in the East Bay.

Thanks!
Valerie

Welcome to this site!
I know what you mean when you say it's overwhelming-I felt the same way when I started, but the more action you take, the more comfortable you will feel being a re investor.
Dean said in one of his blogs 'if you talk the rei lingo often, before you know it, you will be doing it without even thinking about it', and it is very true!
If you can, I recommend you read Dean's book 'Profit from Real Estate Right Now'-that was the one that inspired me to take action!
wishing you success,
Valerie

Hi Kim!

Valuni's picture

thank you for your kind words... I became a civil engineer when I was a single mom as a way to find a job that would provide a decent income; I've always been a determined person, and I like to set goals for myself and accomplish them.
This is an amazing site! The good energy is so inspiring! I could not have accomplished what I have in rei so far without everyone's support here!
Wishing you much success as well!
Valerie

Wow my mom would be glad to be back in san francisco. Just surfing alittle tonight getting my barrings on this site. Only been at it six weeks.
I cant figure out all the icons and points the top users get. Is it a participation thing and then you earn them. Well I'm from southern calif and part of the family is up there. Hope to have my first deal under way in 90 days.

Thanks!
