Am I the worst blogger ever!!!! I have not got my computer back yet and completely unable to keep on top of things without it.  Although no much happening either.  The agent on my 17 units has not provided the info the lender needs yet - says he'll do it this week - so nothing moving anywhere.  Its soo frustrating.  I have now started looking in Memphis also.  However, I was on Zillow today and found out that the market is dropping for the 2nd month in a row.  Ooh maybe need to sit tight and see what happens over Xmas before making my move anyway.  Also from Zillow able to figure out list price to sale price in Ft lauderdale drops 60K!!!

I don't know if anyone's reading this or the hits are from those crawling sites but if you are your'e feedback would be appreciated.  I gather its pretty boring so I was going to include some quotes - anything else?

Hi out there, well still haven't got the computer back and running on this mini one is crazy.  I can't load up my webinars, the screens so small to read and type!!!. Watched one last week and it was great - learnt a few new things. Anyway I'm still plodding along.  My deal has stalled as the owner/broker has not gotten back to me with the paperwork - interesting. Went to try and do a deal with a store for an ATM today but it was a definite NO NO No no no.  Oh well, I did up a proposal and all. Still happy I got off the lounge and DID IT instead of thinking about it.  Will try another one.

Ok, I have a finance company willing to look at lending me 400K now just waiting on the seller to provide details.  Have lined up a lawyer in the area, so building the team.  Will wait to see if finance approved before getting anyone else involved.  This is much more fun than monopoly.

Hi People,  sorry no posts computer died!. Hope to have one tomorrow.

OMG I have a response!! I already have a no but I have a maybe - I'm asthouded excited and nervous all at once111

I can't believe I last posted on Monday - time flies doesn't it.  Sitting tight on the small deals at the moment.  An agent in North Carolina gave me some info about being hard not being USA citizen which I expected.  And I've researched recent sales in the Concord area and there isnt much.  This suggests to me that the market there is really stressed (I had another agent tell me it was), and that people just aren't buying which makes me think they will go down even further. On my big deal I applied to 6 commercial lenders have had one no so far so wait and see there.

So much info this weekend. Anyway emailed USA on Monday here and got replies today.  Not necessarily what I wanted on the big one but negotiations begin! On my small deal of 70K I could not get positive cash flow so feeling bold after my revelations this weekend asked if open to offers - guess what yes so crunching numbers again on what I WANT to offer and will do that. This is great fun.

Ooh I had more also which I havent sent to my coach. Am looking at 17 unit apartments for 780K and know I really dont have the cash.  Anyway after my coaching on Saturday wee were discussing what the sellers needs are.  So I was looking at my paperwork and realised the seller had loans of 350K. BING! Offer the seller the 350K and try and get seller financing on the rest.  If so I can afford it! Awesome

Just had another revelation (champers helps me think!) It doesnt matter at what price you buy stock as long as it goes up! I mean if the range is 5 - 40 and you buy at 10 and sell at 20 you've doubled your money.  So if you buy back in and 20 - ok its more that when you originally bought but if it doubles again it just the same!!! And you had the use of the CASH inbetween. WOW I love Robert and his wisdom. Thanks again

Just sitting here playing Cashflow 101 and realised its all about the Cash (Der or Doh!) If you have the cash available you can make the deal to your liking, otherwise you have to negotiate. And paying in cash increases your cashflow!!!!! So off to save and stop spending on Doodads

Sorry guys - meant to post these on the weekend  sent them to my coach via email but forgot about you guys (must have been that one champagne too many Oops).

Sunday morning had coaching - went Great!  We talked about the options and I understood how it works..  Its still mind blowing to think there are so many different ways to do a deal.  Here in Aus there aren't really many options other than have a deposit get a big mortgage.

Spent Saturday reading about USA financing - so many different options.  Couldn't quite get my head around all of them

Work today - but still sitting here learning about different financing options. With the champers of course! Feeling a little frustrated at the slow pace.  The whole research at the beginning (which you guys missed because I hadn't started the blog yet) was intense and fast paced and obsessive!  it was like I was addicted to the chase to find the DEAL.  I still am but still  having trouble with the financing. Hence the take a step back and learn some more.  It'll all be worth it and I can get back to the addictive and FUN stuff.
