I want to share you someone’s story, MUST READ

First off, age has no barrier, nor credit, money, net worth, or your job. You have to know what you are doing in order to succeed. A little persistance and perspiration help also. Don’t give up!!!

I went to a Robert Allen seminar in the month of (Feb,03), and out of 200 people that paid $2500.00 for the course, i would say MAYBE 10 will make something out of it.Probably 5 will succeed to the dreams. What it boils down to is NOT giving up, never.

The deals are out there. It is up TO YOU to find them. They will not come to you. If they do come to you, it is up to you to structure the deal so that it is a win/win transaction. Real estate investing is a “PEOPLE BUSINESS”. You have to care more about the people then the property or the money.

Lets face it, What are you buying…?Property. When are you buying…?NOW. Where are you buying…? Your target area. How are you buying…?As little as possible down. Who are you buying from…? People. The most important question! WHY ARE YOU BUYING?…… YOU NEED TO ANSWER THIS. This answer will be the motivating factor behind you success. If it is not STRONG enough, you will not succeed. You will give up before you succeed.

It took me almost 7-8 months of persistance before i found my first deal. Now i find about 1-2 per month, with very little or no money down. Yes I said… NO MONEY DOWN.

I got started by re-habbing with a man that i owed over 8k to for a business he help me start. He owned a building that needed about $100k worth of re-hab (commercial building). It took us about a year. I got 5 dollars per day to learn the business. I was 39 years old at the time. This taught me the value of money, plus this forced me to keep expences to the bare minimum. I received an apartment, (to which i am in the process of buying the building from him), This was in exchange for learning and payback. I felt humiliated for being 39 years of age and making $35 per week. But i learned a lot from him (remember rich dad working free at 9 years old for learning). He recived free labor and i received KNOWLEDGE, VALUE OF MONEY, DISCOVERED MY WHY, A CURRENT PARTNER, RESPECT FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE MONEY, But most of all I received The gift of knowing that this is a PEOPLE BUSINESS (PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE).

If you will remember this then the money will naturally follow. Your main goal in investing is to know that you are dealing with real honest to goodness PEOPLE that have become victims in life. It is your JOB to help these people out of their pitfalls by structuring win/win deals and to help them get back on their feet again. When you accomplish this, you will have an inner peace(an enlightenment), to see a smile on their face and perhaps a heart felt THANK YOU. When you can accomplish this, The money will NATURALLY FOLLOW.

You REALLY do not need your own money. Start now instead of later. You are not getting any younger and why waste your youth waiting and wanting when you can be financily free at a young age and then the world will be yours at a young age.

I’m 42 and didn’t start until i was 39 and now, in 3 years, i have escaped the rat race and now working on the freedom part (no worry’s of money). If i stop now i will live quite well but this is not my goal. financial FREEDOM is my GOAL. I figure about 2-3 more years and i will be there.

Don’t let any one tell you that no money down isn’t possible. I have bought everyone of my properties with none of my own money. I’ve used banks, partners, sellers, realtors, buyers, and investors. This is all possible. Whatever your REALITY is is what is possible for you. If you SAY i can’t do it, Guess what… YOU CAN’T DO IT. You have already made your own REALITY. Instead ask yourself… HOW CAN I DO THIS? At that time your mind will work to figure out the answer. Don’t shut it down with negative thought or saying I CAN’T.

If i would have listened to my brothers and sisters or my parents, I WOULD BE LIKE THEM… Complaining about how much money they lost in there retirement account. I lost none as my money is in real estate getting a return with velocity. I need not one person in this WORLD to tell me that it CANNOT BE DONE. My parents can not believe that with then my horrible credit, no job, no money, and not even the ability to get a loan to PAY ATTENTION, i was able to accomplish what i have accomplished.

Please, as NIKE says: “just do it”
Hope this helps out a little.
