"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

Caution: Read This Before Investing In Real Estate!

Caution: Read This Before Investing in Real Estate

Many investors are hesitant about investing in this market. If you watch the news or read the paper, reports would have you believing that the sky is falling. Well, the sky falling should be the ONLY reason why you would be leery about investing in real estate. The question is not "Should I invest in real estate right now?" it's "Where do I invest in real estate right now?"





There are four key factors when deciding where to invest in real estate:

1. Metropolitan Area


2. Good Rental Market


3. Low Median Price


4. Stable Market

Let's look at each of these key factors a little closer.

Metropolitan Area

A metropolitan area offers a wide variety of possible tenants. The last thing you want is a great VACANT property. Small towns often only have one source of employment. If that company closes, so does your rental market. Larger areas also offer a great selection of property management companies so if you are to busy to play landlord you have options.

Good Rental Market

A good rental market has single family homes that keep up with or surpass the amount of the mortgage payment. This does not mean that a property with a temporary negative cash flow doesn't still make a good investment in the long run.

Low Median Price

You want to purchase most of your investment properties in the median range. This should keep you mortgage payment below what you can reasonably ask for in rent. You also want to avoid jumbo loans. Jumbo loans ask investors to put down 25% on non-owner occupied homes. This can tie up to much of your cash that you could be using for another investment.

Stable Market

Believe it or not you don't want to invest in a booming market. During a booming market, there are many offers being made on one property. You have to compete with to many buyers. This drives up the prices for the houses and you don't get the best deals. You want to buy in an area that simply has a steady rise in market prices. It doesn't have to be rapid.

Blessing to Your Real Estate Investing,

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.
