"Quit Real Estate Investing!" That's What They Said Until I Showed Them My "Never Say Die" Investing System MD/DC/VA
Never Ever Quit.......Never Say Die........Never
Investors,
I know that many of you are ready to throw in the towel. Your mind says "Maybe this just isn't for me....I think I just missed the time to get into to real estate investing. Then your closest friends say "You are just wasting your time...it's time to move on....you gave it your best shoot...you can't say you didn't try" Does this sound familiar?
No matter what you decide to do in life, there are going to be obstacles, dry times, and times where it seems as though nothing is going your way. There is no way to avoid this. You must hold your position until you have the strength to move forward. Never go backwards. Now you have to be wise when you are a real estate investor or anything else. If what your are doing isn't working, try a different angle. Find another way to support your ultimate goal. This way you're not quitting. You are just taking a different means to an end. If you were flipping homes, master wholesaling. If you were wholesaling, master how to do lease options or shortsales. You must always be willing to increase your knowledge in order to move with the market demands.
If you analyze anyone who is where you want to be or anyone who you look at as a mentor, they have gone through major trials. If they had given up, you would not admire what they have accomplished.
There are certain things that you must do to remain on course through rough times in the real estate investing business.
1. Don't focus on what is going wrong.
If you focus on what is wrong with your business, that is all that you will see. Focus on the one thing that is positive and build on that.
2. Stay connected to a mentor.
I know that you have heard the saying "Nothing is new under the sun". We normally tell this to our children. Well, the same holds true with real estate investing. Someone has already dealt with the challenge that you are having. Learn as much as you can from their mistakes.
3. Education yourself.
Education is invaluable. Always keep yourself abreast of new terminology, new funding sources, new creative ways of financing. There are so many ways to do more than just survive in this industry. Commit to paying for some type of education on a monthly basis. It can be coaching, seminars, classes or tapes as long as you are always increasing your knowledge.
4. Pass it on
When you are doing well, always be willing to help the person coming behind you. There are so many shady investors. We need as many ethical investors to support one another as we can find. Helping someone else always ends up helping you in the end!
Everything has a time and a purpose. The sooner you figure out what the purpose of the time you are in - the sooner you will move on to a new one.
You Can Survive As A Real Estate Investor!
Blessings to your Real Estate Investing Career

Why Haven't YOU Invested in Real Estate? (DC/MD/VA)
Why haven't YOU Invested in Real Estate?
You always wanted to....You know that wealth is in real estate....so what is stopping you!
Well, I'll tell you what is holding back most new investors that I meet " I DON'T WANNA LOSE MY MONEY!"....Does that sound familiar? Everything is new for you so you are not confident in your decisions regarding what property to purchase. Well, that's what I'm here for so just sit back, keep reading and learning and when you are ready, I'll be here to guide you.
The first thing that you should know is that you don't have to have the perfect deal for a real estate deal to make money for you. Don't pass by good deals waiting for the perfect flawless deal. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret...."There's no such thing".
No one says it better than Nike "Just Do It". You will never reap the benefits of investing in real estate until you....invest in real estate.
The main blockers for new real estate investors are:
- afraid of risk
- afraid of maintenance and repairs
- afraid of vacancies
Let dissect these fears:
Afraid of Risk
"YOU WILL NEVER EVER FIND A RISK-FREE INVESTMENT!" Some of you want no risk. If this is what you want, you don't want to make any money anywhere. Just put your money in your ceramic pink piggy bank but watch out for Mr. Inflation because he'll eat away at that with out a sound. If you follow the advice that I gave you before about investing in Metropolitan areas, good rental market areas, stable market areas and low median areas, you are already reducing your investment risk. You also want to invest in fairly good neighborhoods. Pay attention to safety, schools, shopping etc. In decent neighborhoods, your tenants tend to stay longer, pay on time and take better care of the property.
Afraid of Maintenance and Repairs
Just because you own the property doesn't make you and automatic handy man. Hire a property management company. Your time is more valuable than touch up paint, plumbing and carpeting. We hire professionals for everything else. It's worth it!
Afraid of Vacancies
If you take my advice and invest in a good neighborhood in a good market, vacancies are very unlikely. Normally, if your house is not renting the problem is the owner. It's not that there isn't anyone to rent to...you are asking to much. Think long term. It better to occupy your property for a little less than to pay a mortgage on a vacant property. You can always gradually raise the price of your rent and end up getting what you want. Even if you have a negative cash flow at first, the tax benefits will offset this.
Hopefully, this has helped ease some of your fears regarding investing. It's time to start securing your financial future with real estate investing.
Blessings to your real estate investing,
Valarie Jacobs

ASAP Community Helps the Homeless in DC!
A.S.A.P. Community Solutions Helps The Homeless
Hello,
Being involved in Real Estate Investing is about more than just becoming wealthy to help ourselves.
We will participate in the Fannie Mae Foundation Help the Homeless Walkathon on Saturday, November 17, 2007 and would like to invite you to join our team for this important event. Did you know that nearly 12,000 people in the Washington metropolitan area are homeless? It?s true.
In fact, more than 40 percent of that total are families and one-third are children. One way you can begin making a difference today is by supporting the Fannie Mae Foundation Help the Homeless Program, which raises awareness of and funds for Washington metropolitan area organizations that are working to prevent and end homelessness, with an emphasis on programs that help homeless people return to independent living.
The program culminates in the Help the Homeless Walkathon on the National Mall, which will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2007. Please register and join us at the Walkathon.
If you are unable to participate in the Walkathon, please consider supporting the Help the Homeless Program by making a secure, online donation. The support you provide is vital to helping local homeless people return to independent living.
Thank you.
