Secret Online Anatomy Of A Property Deal 2007-05-08 06:15:30 I am going to share an Investment online secret with you that most people know about but are not using to the full potential, it is called www.zillow.com.
Yesterday I was driving to Fred Meyer, a local store close to my home, and being the astute Real Estate Investor that I have learned to be, out of the corner of my eye I caught a new listing sale for a property. I stopped and grabbed the flyer. Nothing in Real Estate shocks me anymore, because you never know what you may find. The house was this cute little quaint home that looked like a smaller low end home, perfect for a first time home buyer. As I was reading the flyer I discovered that they wanted $399,000 for the Property! This easily should have been in the low $200,00’s. I quickly began to scan the flyer to find the reason why. The property was sitting on a half acre, R2 zoned property allowing for two more homes to be built on the lot while keeping the existing home.
This was Prime Real Estate Property in my area and
This Story Has The Power To Change Your Life Forever… 2007-04-29 01:28:07 Remember earlier I spoke about Zig Zigler, a motivational Speaker whom I respect greatly. He shared a story in his ‘See You At The Top’ Series that will give you a whole new perspective on life. It is a story about fleas, yes fleas - you see, fleas have been known to make leaps of up to 12 inches&hellip
; about 200 times the length of their own bodies. Equal to a six-foot man jumping 900 feet!
You can place fleas in a jar with a lid on and the fleas will begin to jump, repeatedly hitting the lid in their attempt to escape their jar prison.
After about 20 minutes, something incredible begins to happen. The fleas begin to learn that they cannot escape and stop jumping as high as they did to begin with, to avoid banging their head on the lid.
They become convinced that jumping high enough to get out of the jar results in nothing but a big headache, they won’t jump out of the jar even though the lid has been removed. Why? Because they’ve been conditioned to believ Read more:Change

A Little Girl, A Cookie, A Fountain And A Dream… 2007-04-28 01:10:17 The other day I took my niece, my daughter and my mom to buy these famous cookies called ‘Cow Chip Cookie
’ (This is the same cookie I bought for Mike Filsaime in June at the Focus For Seattle Conference when he gave me some Invaluable Business Advice and he then bought the same cookies for the next group the following day). In other words, it is a very popular and sought after cookie because they are a really good cookie and became popular at the well known Western Washington Puyallup Fair started back in the 1900’s.
The Kent Station, an open Mall, close to my home, has a new ‘Cow Chip Cookie’ Store and it was a nice day and many people were walking around enjoying the sunshine. At The Kent Station, there is this little Fountain
that you can sit by and enjoy a quiet moment while enjoying the scenery (I took a Picture of the Fountain above for you). My mom, my daughter and myself sat on a bench to eat our cookie and watched as my niece, Kalia, took off her Read more:hellip

See You At The Top… 2007-04-26 19:37:23 Zig Zigler’s Famous words!
Ya Gotta Love him&hellip
;
I was recently perusing Zig Zigler’s Blog and I came across a very relevant story that many of us face on a regular basis and I wanted to share this story with you.
Often times when I am at a conference and I am in an important conversation, you know one of those moments that you have been waiting and hoping for all day with someone whom you wanted to connect with and you may never get that opportunity again and inevitably an interrupter will come and steal your thunder or your moment. Being the nice person that I am I let the interrupter speak and I may lose that tidbit of success that they might have imparted or that future deal I could have created in only a flick of a moment.
When I was reading Zig Zigler’s blog today he had such a wonderful story about dealing with an interrupter in a positive, poised and sophisticated manner that touched me in a way that encouraged me to be able to stop the interruption while
Pay It Forward - You Will Want To Meet Coach Deb & Her Husband JP 2007-04-25 09:10:05 Real Estate Investing is a vehicle to allow you to pursue your dream. It will give each of you who chooses to step out of the box the opportunity to reach your dream and in your pursuit you will run into many obstacles along the way. Many, many people will try to stop you on your way to the top. I am a lifetime believer in motivational speakers and personal coaches, not that they will, in and of themselves, get you to the top, but they are sometimes the glue that seals the deal as we go through the gamut of up and down emotions, disappointments and picking ourselves up just one more time than we fall on that walk up the ladder.
I have had the honor and the pleasure of meeting an amazing couple at a conference that we both attended in September 2006 and I was so impressed with their style, their hearts and their growth that I took a picture with Coach
Deb and verbally let them know that I would love to do business with them in the future. I have included a link to one of their blog pos Read more:Forward

Thought For The Day 2007-04-22 17:03:32 “Everyone who’s ever taken a shower has an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off, and does something about it that makes a difference.”

The Six Magic Words! 2007-04-16 04:02:12 “Will You Take What You Owe?”
Do not, absolutely do not be afraid of those Six MagicWords
- they will make you a lot of money and help a lot of people. Many, many people are facing foreclosure’s, bankruptcy, probate or a sudden move and you, the investor, are their knight in shining armor who can swoop in and save them from a potential disaster. Don’t worry about taking advantage of anyone’s situation, there are so many desperate homeowners out their waiting for someone to solve their problem and they are grateful to have someone like you who will take on the debt that they cannot pay. If they do not want to sell their property for what they owe they will say no.
Your first question is, “What would be the least that you could take?” “Is that the best you can do?” “Will you take what you owe?” “What is the least you would take if I took over your loan quickly?” or “How much over what you owe will you t
How I Made $30,000 With No Money Out of My Own Pocket 2007-04-08 21:33:24 I have been investing in Real Estate for over seven years, and before that I was a Real Estate Educational fanatic. In essence, I was a Real Estate Investor wanna be until I took that first plunge and dived into my first deal.
I didn’t know much back then and in my quest to locate an investment property, I stumbled onto a house that a friend of a friend needed to get rid of in a hurry. (Paul, the friend of the friend) was offered what he believed to be an opportunity of a lifetime to move to Alaska to run a restaurant as a co-owner. Paul owned a 3 bedroom 1 bath home with a big back yard, he had a 2 year early payoff penalty on his loan, he didn’t want to manage a renter long distance and he was worried that he would be stuck with two mortgages each month, and he just wanted out.
I purchased his property for $5,000 over what he owed without any money out of my pocket or ever qualifying for a loan. Then I flipped it into a Lease to Own with a buyer who was in the middle of Read more:Money
