Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for your invitation to join your panel. I am both honored
and awed to be in such distinguished company, and I will do my best to live
up to the amazing standards of excellence that you and the other panel
members have set.
Ever since I can remember, I've had an intense interest in the process of
communication - how to listen so as to really understand, what to say so as
to be really understood, and how to use technology to communicate more
effectively.
So over the years, I've wound up collecting experiences on both sides of the
left brain/right brain divide - marketing, sales, and writing on the high touch
side, as well as electronics engineering, computer networking, and web site
programming on the high tech side. Why? Well, mainly because no one
bothered to tell me it was impossible.
This dual process has eventually led me to three key revelations:
Real estate investing is the greatest wealth builder in history.
The Internet is the greatest cash flow vehicle ever built. And
Successfully combining the two must automatically create the most
powerful prosperity machine the world has ever known.
Impossible, you say? Only if you think it is. But nobody told me I couldn't do
it, so with the help of the awesome Michele Robbins (another member of this
panel), I bought my first investment property with no credit, no job, and no
cash of my own. We both remember it as the deal from hell, but neither of us
believed it was impossible, so we did it - and showed it could be done.
After several more much easier purchases, and happy with my dot com
ventures, I decided to practice what I preached and combine the two
systems. In my case, that meant turning my writing and web development
skills to the task of showing others how to deal with the Financial Trap
(see article (http://www.letsdodeals.com/index2.html)) that so many of us are finding so impossible to escape.
The result is LetsDoDeals.com (http://www.letsdodeals.com/), a huge resource site with a threefold
mission:
COMMUNICATE so people can wake from their confusion/fear/worry
and take action (content, links, ebiz consulting),
EDUCATE so people can clearly understand there is still a way to win
if they just get moving (library section), and
FACILITATE the process of actually doing deals, rather than just
talking about how to do them (forum, VREIA investor club, creating
ebusinesses).
As you've pointed out to me, Dan, our missions are in many ways quite
similar. I was delighted to see that your web site demonstrates the same
spirit of communicate-educate-facilitate that inspires me. And you're right,
together we all can make a difference. Impossible? Hardly.
I've read your book, Magic Bullets in Real Estate, and it is truly a one-stop
text for anyone wanting to get started - or get better - in real estate. The
common sense insights you reveal, (such as how to actually turn realtors into
allies), are invaluable and will save people tons of time, money, and stress
over the trial-and-error method. I refer to it constantly - in fact, it's at my
side right now - and I know others will benefit greatly from it too.
Now, for the further enjoyment of all MB Forum participants (and as a reward
for having read this ridiculously long posting), I'd like to make the following
ebooks available to you:
87 Jewels - Digital Real Estate Resources (http://www.letsdodeals.com/ebooks.html) - a collection of
extraordinary web sites and resources that should be on your desktop,
but probably aren't. Yours free of charge.
Got Knowledge? Get Paid! (http://www.letsdodeals.com/Spiral/cashflow.html) (aka Spiral Marketing; an Internet-Powered
Cash Flow System) - a complete course on the ins and outs of writing
or finding info-products, then selling them for huge profits on the web.
Sells online for $79.97. Yours for 50% off, if you're interested.
26 Ways to Buy a Pretty House Below Market Value (http://www.letsdodeals.com/26ways.html) - everyone
knows we should only be doing deals with motivated sellers. But how do
you find one, and how do you even know what to look for? Now, it
won't cost you hundreds of dollars to find out - I'm spilling the beans for
less than 30 bucks. (BONUS: I've also set up a joint venture (http://www.letsdodeals.com/26ways-affiliates.html) program so
you can make great money helping me spread the word with this one.)
Once again, I'm honored to be included in this active, energetic collection of
professionals. Invest powerfully, invest well, and LET'S DO DEALS!
