Last night I ended up being at my mom's house until late because I was waiting to pick my oldest daughter up from a party.
Well, as you know it started to storm. My mom suggested that the girls and I just stay at her house. I told her that I didn't mind driving in the rain but I could tell that she really wanted us to stay. I decided to stay.
Well just in case you don't have kids yet...the grand kids come before all. All parents get kicked to the curb for the grand kids. So as they went upstairs to their resort style rooms and flat screen tv's, I got my spot on the couch.
My mom gave me nice cozy sheets and pajamas for the couch and I proceeded to settle down. I noticed all the windows in the foyer and asked about the sunlight that might come in. She assured me that "The sun rises behind the house."and that wouldn't be a problem.
I went to sleep and noticed that I kept hearing "tic tic tic" "tic tic" "tic tic tic tic" every fifteen minutes. So at first, I sat up wondering if someone was trying to break in the house. Then I thought it might be some kinda clock. I found out later that my youngest daughter had previously used the canopy bed upstairs as a trapeze and now it was broken so everytime she moved on the bed "tic tic tic tic"
My new thing is,"Don't sweat the small stuff". So even though "tic tic tic" every fifteen minutes...no problem. I finally stopped waking up around 3:30am and fell asleep. At 6:15am the sun greets me with a great gleaming smile. I can't believe it..."I thought you were gonna rise on the other side of the house...aarrggghh!"
But my new motto is..."Don't sweat the small stuff" I give up at 6:45am and decided to do some internet marketing. I get up and go upstairs to the computer room making sure to tip toe...don't wanna wake anybody you know. I turn on the computer. "MY MOM DOESN'T HAVE WIRELESS!!!" Are you kidding me? Am I being punked? I didn't even know you could still use dial up.
Ok Ok...no problem. I'll just wait. 645am...not online 7:00am...not online 7:15am...not online 7:30...not online
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, so I text my dad. He says "No...you just have to wait" Ok no problem. I'll go make a bowl of cereal. It will definitely be on when I get back.
So I go down stairs for a healthy bowl of cereal. Let's see what my choices are: Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Golden Grahams, Sugar Pops.... I found some Total great! I sit down with my Total Bran Flakes, fresh blueberries and ice cold milk.....yum...can't wait for my first bite. As the spoon settles in my mouth something isn't right....hey....yuck...omg I run to the sink. I immediately go and check the date on the milk. The date is June 3rd. "Why is that in the frig?!?!" (My mom told me later she uses it for cooking.)
I decided to just go back to the computer 8:00am...not online
8:15am - I'm online yippee.
8:20am Everyone wakes up bright eyed and bushy tailed from their wonderful refreshing sleep. My mom goes downstairs and makes homemade waffles with a choice of either blueberries, strawberries, nuts or bananas.
Why did I tell you this story?
One: Just to make you laugh.
Two: To encourage you to look at everything as a blessing. Look at this wonderful funny story that I can think about and laugh. Every experience that you have can be interpreted differently. Glass half full or glass half empty. I could have let all those things ruin my day and put me in a bad mood. Instead, I decided to write it all down so that I would not forget "The night I spent at my mom's" whenever I want laugh.
What experiences can you turn into something positive today?

| Kris Kirshner "The Brown Truck Millionaire" Is Coming to DC MD & VA to Meet You! Who Ever Heard of the “Brown Truck Millionaire?” If making over $15,000 a month, part-time buying and selling houses using none of your money or credit sounds good to you, then you’ve got to meet the “Brown Truck Millionaire” Kris Kirschner at our meeting on Saturday June 6th . Kris is a former struggling UPS driver who fast tracked from driving a brown truck to wealthy real estate entrepreneur. After a lot of trial and error, he devised a fool-proof autopilot® complete real estate system that allowed him to quit his job and become a bona-fide millionaire in just 23 months buying, selling and holding single family houses using none of his money and none of his credit. Kris is different. He's not a pretend expert who wrote a book 20 years ago and never did the business, or did it so long ago it no longer matters. He not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. In fact, at the seminar you can listen in as Kris calls sellers live for P... Hilton Garden Inn Greenbelt See the full event details at Kris Kirshner LIVE at DMV REIA. |
Check out what members are saying about DC/MD/VA Real Estate Investing and Training - DMV REIA: "Quality networking." - John Marion "Good information; it's not extremely large (yet). But expected when in a buyer's market. Personally I like the smaller groups because you get to know the players and meet most people (at least those that come on a regular basis). Past experience from other groups that started out like this one (say 1998) and then grew very large during the seller's market; those that you met when it was starting you are still in contact with over 10 years later and almost everyone from then are still in the business." - L Green "It's a good investment for the membership fee. There's a lot of good free information being shared and no pressure to buy something." - Eddie Bell "This was the first meeting I've attended and I really enjoyed it. You make a person feel comfortable and wanted. I look forward to attending more meetings and joining your bird dogging program. I began networking with other investors and got a lot of really great information and advice." - Ted Washington "They really try to help the small investor. They are NOT a bunch of pitch people. If you want to associate with a good group I would check them out." - Brian Ginter | |

Once you begin, you will not believe all of the business that has been passing you by.

Maryland, DC & VA Real Estate Investors Need Help Closing Deals - Valarie Jacobs, DMV REIA
Maryland, DC & VA Real Estate Investors Needs Some Help!
"I Have A Real Estate Lead Now What Do I Do?" Part 1
Real Estate Agents and Investors are saturated with "Marketing for Real Estate", "Internet Marketing for Real Estate Investors", "Marketing 101 for Real Estate Agents", etc. While marketing is extremely important, if you master the marketing and don't know what to do with the lead...You don't make any money! Many of you go from tape to class, from class to seminar, from seminar to bootcamp, from bootcamp to webinar, from webinar to blog... When are you gonna go to the bank?
Do you know why most of you have not done a deal or enough deals? You are afraid of this step right here! The rest of you are not afraid but you don't know what to do next or haven't been taught properly. So let's talk about what to do when you get a lead.
Many of you get to this step and lose the deal. What is your closing ratio? Do you know? Do you document when leads call in, where they call from and how many calls end with a deal? This step is not fun but it is very important. Again, I want to move past this step as well.
THE LEAD IS ON THE PHONE!
Let me get some very basic marketing key points out of the way.
You want your leads to find you. It is much easier to get a deal when your client has raised their hand and said "Please help me". Just imagine...when you are at your house and you hear a knock on the door. If you are not expecting company....you may be asleep, you may be afraid...most of us peek first or if you are like me I just don't answer the door; however, if you have invited someone over...you are dressed, the house is nice and you are happy and ready for their arrival. This is the same for your leads when you call them. Find a way for them to call you. I will give you ideas in a future note.
Ok, so you got the lead to call you. What do you want from this call?
The first step is to prescreen the lead:
Your reasons for prescreening are:
1. Ask the RIGHT questions
2. Get basic info regarding the property
3. Determine their true motivation
4. Determine your next step
Confidence is the most important characteristic to exhibit over the telephone. Confidence not cockiness. Many of the people who are calling you are ready to do something now. If they don't choose to work with you, it's because of one of two reasons:
1. they didn't like you
2. they didn't trust you
So how can you show confidence if you don't have it? Or maybe you do have it but you aren't organized so something just doesn't sound quite right to the client.
You need a basic property information sheet. Don't try to remember all the questions. It doesn't work. Veteran investors often get tired of this step but inevitably you forget to ask something. The property information sheet will keep you on track and in control of the conversation. If you don't have a property information sheet, call me and I will send one to you.
Now you may have to take a moment to build a little rapport with the lead before you dive to deep in the questions. Feel your client out. If they are more of a slow paced person, then take it down a notch. If they are spitting the information out to you, then write it down and then just go back and fill in the blanks. Remember in real estate you are in sales. You are selling yourself to sellers and hopefully as time goes on you will be selling the idea of creative financing, owner financing, taking a price less than they expect, etc...so this first contact is crucial to closing the deal.
The main thing that helps is to always put their needs first. "How can you solve their problem?"
This is why you must find their true motivation!
Is it debt relief?
Is it peace of mind?
Everyone is not selling their home because they need money right away. If you are suggesting solutions to the wrong problem, then you will lose the deal.
"I Have a Real Estate Deal Now What?" Part 2 will cover:
How to find true motivation of sellers
Different type of deals
The next step based on the deal

- Your investments won't get whacked 50% to 80% when the stock market turns down.
- You can actually make more money during a recession.
- You never have to buy any properties.
- If you end up with a property (and you hope you do) it's free and clear and can be sold for huge profits.
- It can be done from anywhere in the world.
- There's next to no overhead.
- You don't have to hire employees.
- There's no recruiting your friends and family.
- You don't have to fix leaky faucets, evict tenants or any other conventional real estate headaches.

Anthony Onwuanibe is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law in Baltimore. His practice focuses on the many areas of real estate, from settlement services, through his title company Golden Trust Title & Escrow, LLC, to tax sale and mortgage foreclosures. He has filed over 1000 tax sale foreclosure suits in the last two years and has worked very closely with local municipalities, individual homeowners, individual investors and corporate and non-profit investors.

We remember our motto "Where real estate investors work together for the success of us ALL!" whenever we are planning an event and we want our members to remember it as well when they are networking and looking for support from one another.

DC Maryland and VA Real Estate Investors Need to Focus!
Hello DC MD and VA Real Estate Investors,
Fous on what is the questions.
I received an email from one of my students today. She was talking about how she was depressed and felt as if this wasn't going right and that wasn't going right and she just doesn't have all the things that she thought that she would have at this point in her life.
Well, how many of us have had at least one of these thoughts at some point in our lives. The fact is that sometimes life seems to get in the way and doesn't seem to cooperate with what we have in mind. We all have daily challenges some larger than others. So, what do you do when you are feeling this way.
This is when you have to have control over your mind. Any and everything that you focus on WILL increase! So what have you been focusing on? If you want more stress and aggravation, then continue to focus on the unpaid bill, the failed relationship, the car accident, the burnt dinner, the pimple on your nose (lol)...you get the point.
I know this is so much easier said than done but you must master this skill in order to not only make wise decisions but follow thru with completing them.
When you feel yourself focusing on situations, people or anything that will not cause a positive outcome or stress free feeling, stop and intentionally focus on what will make you happy and direct you towards your goal.
Am I saying to forget about your responsibilities and just do what makes you feel good...of course not! What I am saying is that if you open your mind to positive thoughts and images, you will find solutions to things that you thought were once impossible to conquer.
This is your assignment for tomorrow. Let me know how it worked for you.
Valarie

DC MD & VA Real Estate Investing Club Grand Opening was Awesome!
DC Maryland and VA Real Estate Investors had and Awesome Time at DMV REIA!
Hello Everyone!
I am still so pumped about yesterday's grand opening. It was absolutely amazing! I want to thank all of you who came out and made this such a wonderful event.
We had over 125 real estate professionals show up and everyone who was there was ready to network, share and learn. From day one, all of you fully accepted the motto"Where Real Estate Investors Work Together For The Success of Us ALL!" People were sharing marketing ideas, rehabbing ideas, exchanging contact information, etc. It was as if, this was what we were all waiting for...an open forum to network, share and grow where everyone is welcome!
Dante and I may not have said it yesterday but we consider this REIA to be all of ours. We may organize it but everyone who was there made it the great event that it was. We want your suggestions, we want you to participate and share your deals, we want you to work with the DMV REIA investor agents. We want everyone to come to the meeting ready to support their fellow real estate professionals. If we all have this goal, the growth in our businesses and OUR REIA will be phenomenal!
If you were not there, you truly missed something special.....but don't worry....EVERY DMV REIA meeting is going to have this spark and energy.
I won't miss the next DMV REIA meeting!
We collected over 50 blankets for the Covenant House! Isn't it wonderful that DMV REIA members were able to help homeless youth and we can't wait to do it again in June?
We have 80 new DMV REIA members ready to "Work together for the success of us ALL!".
We received so many compliments from all of you. We are so happy that you were pleased and your needs as a real estate investor are going to be met. This is the only thing we ask of you. The more real estate professionals that we have in our network the more support for all of our businesses. We need you to spread the word about your new REIA...bring a friend or forward an email. When you receive the ratings email, let everyone know about the wonderful experience you had at the meeting in the comment box. Investors are looking for a place like this and just don't know where to find it.
We can't wait to see you next month. You can RSVP now by clicking the link below if you'd like to.

We need you to help make a difference and bring a blanket to help the cause of providing warmth for those youth...
5. Gain valuable knowledge: Our attorney, Michael Gross, will share with us valuable information about asset protection and creative ways to finance deals.
