I love the title of today’s show for several reasons. The first is that it just came to us during the episode which is always fun but also because it’s a reminder to me that you’ve always gotta have hope and dreams mixed into your business. When you get started with Real Estate Investing you’ve gotta have hope that it’s going to work out and then dedication and focus takes that hope and turns it into a reality. You’ve also gotta have dreams because without those you have nothing to strive towards. Those dreams don’t have to be crazy but you still need a vision of where you want to take your business. So we talk about all that today and ofcourse we try and have a little fun too so join us and let us know what you think!

Not every accepted land agreement you get back from your direct mail campaign is going to be an amazing piece of property. The access will be sketchy at best, the topography will be weird, the surrounding area could be less than desirable. So what do you do? Do you let it go and only focus on the best ones? One of our host does, well at least he did until he talked it through on this podcast. The thing is, even though the land might not be worth your original offer it is worth something to someone so you just need to find the right price to make it worth your while. It all comes down to what you’re comfortable doing and if that means only working the good deals that come back then do that but if you’re afraid you’re missing out on money making deals then you should definitely be thinking of renegotiating.

You ever see those ads or hear those stories about people who make $100,000 on their first deal? Or what about the ones where someone does over 100 deals their first year in business? Those people and stories are definitely motivating but let me assure you that if this didn’t happen to you and you’re still working on smaller deals or maybe only doing a few deals per year, you’re still doing great! The fact is that you’ve taken steps towards a goal that many people will only dream about. Creating a business and building the future you want takes time and as long as you continue to put one foot in front of the other and make progress you’re going to be okay. Just stay focused, keep working and we’ll see you at the top!

How much profit is enough? Does time on market determine how much you should get for a property? Are you being greedy? These are just some of the questions we’ll answer today when we discuss a deal that one of our own has been working on. This is an important episode because we know, without a doubt, you will deal with this conundrum at some point in your career. You’ll get a great property at a great price and you’ll want a home run when you sell it. Then someone comes along and offers you a fair deal (where you still make a huge profit) and you can’t decide if you should take it or not. So join us today as we dive into the topic and as always have a little fun in the process.
