Hey guys
My birthday is this weekend - I turn the Big 31!
You can’t believe it - can you…
Go ahead - and say it - you believe I’m 25.
Well, even though I don’t think it’s that big of a deal - my wife does. She’s planned this secret getaway where all we’ll do is ….

Anyway, I prepared another video revealing more of my real estate investing secrets. Have a look:
Till next week,

How to Find Motivated Sellers
October 5, 2007
Howdy,
Looks like today will be another day filled with looking at deals, following up on short sale offers, and just making things happen to progress my deals to the next level so that I get PAID.
Now, everyone knows that in order to find good deals, you’ve got to focus on finding and attracting motivated sellers with your marketing campaigns. Everyone has heard this, but too many investors still struggle getting deals in their pipeline. It’s time to stop begging people to accept your offers and realize there are sellers out there that would love your offer. It’s just a matter of….
Finding and Attracting Motivated Sellers!

Well, since this question keeps appearing, I prepared 2 videos for you revealing 21 ways for you to get more leads, more deals and Bigger profits, the 4 step approach to getting more leads, and why you should implement a strategy to target homeowners in Preforeclosure.

Who ya gonna call?
October 3, 2007
Today, I heard a yell from my wife - “DEREK- come here!”
Ugg ohh- what did I do now? is my initial reaction.
I stroll into the living room using my most innocent voice because I thought I was in trouble. Anyway, she was helping our oldest son, Devin with his homework. Both had a dazed and confused look on their face. I ask - what’s up?
Devin’s teacher had given them a problem involving dice. This problem had baffled my wife to the point she was ready to pull her hair out. The teacher had given them a set of numbers with the following clue:
“Polar Bears come in pairs. They sit around a hole in the ice like petals on a flower.”
Do what?
I thought for a second, then in my most confident voice, I responded - I know the answer as I headed to my home office. Both Laura and Devin followed my lead like blind sheep.
By the time, they’d followed me to the office, I already had the answer.
Now, I’m really not that smart when it comes to problems like this, but the answer was easy. So, you wanna know how I got the answer to the “what seems to be unsolveable” problem?
I googled it…
Yep. I typed in the hint the teacher gave and BAM - first website showed the answer revealed.
I made a point to Devin. You don’t have to know everything or be everything. Just know where to go to get what you’re looking for.
I need to take the same advice as I gave Devin.
Knowing everything there is to know is impossible. Focus your efforts on the most important task at hand and learn to delegate.
See, a lot of people believe in order to make money investing in real estate, you’ve got to fix up houses or you’ve got to know construction. Let me assure you - that’s complete BS. As a matter of fact, I suck at swingin’ hammers, painting and making repairs, but I do know who to call to get the job done.
That’s it for today,
Derek
