BEV!

Dion, Sorry we hijacked your thread. (congrats on your new CA!!) Admin, No problem. We can fix this right now ..... Jason, thanks baron, you're welcome! And for Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe Love your email HAHA! BEV!

Baron, Here's what works for me like magic. I like to stand out from the crowd so I personalize every single email. For example (here's something that just came to mind to write as I post this) Let's see... ok, here's an email sample I would send to a FSBO (not an agent) right this minute. -------------------------- Hey Larry. How have you been? I just saw your "house for sale" ad on Craigslist. I must admit, the house looks amazing! Great Job. The area is desirable too. As a matter of fact, I'm in contact with several families whom are looking to buy a house in that same exact area. These families are even willing to pay full asking price for the right house. All they ask is for an open minded homeowner willing to sell the house to them on a Lease Purchase basis. Reply at your earliest to discuss the details. And if your house meets our needs, we will arrange for a viewing ASAP. My Name My Title ------------------------------- I have hundreds of different personalized emails I've used in the past with GREAT success. BEV!

Not sure about this but I've been hearing this topic on the news as well and am not very clear on it. There's also an email going around stating this also. Whether is true or false, makes you think, what next? Here's what the email says....CLICK HERE Here's the video.. CLICK HERE

Happy Birthday Stevie! Here's a shot of wheat grass Juice for ya

But u know what, all in all, WE also had it good back in the days.. Take for instance our schools back then - We had REAL cooked meals at lunch time, we actually had a salad bar and breakfast every day (These days, kids don't even know what salad bar looks like.. and if they're lucky they can have a frozen hot dog for lunch at school) - Our P.E class was mandatory or you wouldn't graduate. (These Days, if u don't want to take P.E you still graduate, just sign your parents signature on a excuse letter and we'll look the other way) - We actually exercised for P.E for a whole hour, we played sports non-stop, we would get a good work out every day ( These days, P.E is watching TV the whole hour while the coach goes check out the Cheer Leaders) - School Obesity was not a common thing back then. ( These days, all u see in schools is Obesity) Bottom line is, our inmates have better diet, better health care, AND the best fitness program available to them FOR FREE than our children (the future of this country) Imagine that!! BEV!

If you are 30, or older, you’ll think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways. And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids! But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today have got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but kids today don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents! Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick my butt! Nowhere was safe! There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and screw it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car and we'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished. Then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it! There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOODNESS!!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are. And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your avatar guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on TV! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to actually get off your butt and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! How did we survive?!?! There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait A WHOLE WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rats! And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that! And our parents told us to stay outside and play. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores! And car seats - oh, please! Mom t Dad threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place! See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before! Regards, The Over 30 Crowd

Thanks for the valuable information guys. This particular land is in Costa Rica and I did a Live Cam to Cam chat with my Auntie from Costa Rica last night to learn as much as possible about how things work over yonder regarding my situation... so far, she will be taking pictures of the land to send them to me with its dimension. She also said she will be faxing me the deed pronto along with all the paperwork. Oh, and she said she will hire an attorney to help me and see if we can do this without me having to physically be there. Let's see what the laws says over yonder first, if all else fails, I'll have one of you fly over yonder for me on my behalf (wishful thinking) BEV!

I've been so stressed out these past months over these lands. I'd like to know from any of you out there if when you inherit land (overseas), do you need to physically go to the land and take over the title or can this be done over fax.. I've found out I have inherited yet another land overseas and I'm being bugged to fly over there to take title or whatever needs to be done to take ownership (lands are all paid for free and clear) but the only problem is that I DON'T FLY and these lands have been sitting there for yrs. I will ask them if we can do everything online/fax but wanted to know first if anybody here can advice other options in case I'm told that I can not do it over the fax and HECK I won't fly either and there are no choo choo trains going there either. help!!!! .AAAUUUUGGGGHHHH Thanks, BEV!

Way to go Kimberly!! Great Job. Thanks for the information. It answered my question BEV!

Hi, I just have a question for those who know about "First time home buyers". ( I don't want to give the wrong advice so here it is) I have contacted a gazillion agents/realtors locally in my area to ask for advice but none are answering their cell.. why can this be? I've no idea! Anyway, here's my question. I have a prospect T/B who wants to buy a house through the "First time home buyers" program. But what she wants to know is if she qualifies.. she and her husband have never bought real estate before BUT they bought a mobile home back in 1985 here in California.. she said that 6 yrs later, they filed for bankruptcy and did NOT include the mobile home in it BUT walked away from the mobile home and let it go. Will she qualify for the first time home buyer program to purchase a home this year? Or is the mobile home considered real estate? Thanks, Bev!

Well, it appears he has lots of listings and is looking for buyers. I can't make out what the sign says on the picture but I know he specializes in first time home buyer program. He seems like a well educated nice guy with good vibes. (he puts his personal pic on every ad)

I've been seeing this ad a lot online from a Realtor (I believe), marketing his services. He has this parked in a parking lot it seems. I think is different, cool and I bet it turns heads. Soooo cute

6'6" and 28 years old... I'm gonna be rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How's that coming along, Mr. J?All kidding aside, there are many ways to raise money for those who WANT to. My favorite method is the so famous "Adsense". We all know and heard of them.. I make hundreds of $$ monthly with this alone. We all know that the money is in the niche.. and my niche is Real Estate but my highest paying clicks ($3 to $4 per click) comes from my favorite niche, credit repair. and I'm embarrassed to say that I am very lazy with adsense and don't even take it serious. I need to change my way of thinking ASAP!! BEV!

First of all, I can't imagine how anyone can keep a straight face with certain people here Bwaahahaa! I LOVE IT!!! Secondly, I just saw on the news this morning something shocking that people are doing to survive this economy. Maybe is not news to you, but to me it is. They said on this morning news that men are selling their sperm to make money and survive (pay their mortgage, etc) here in my neck of the wood. Banks are paying these guys up to $300 per deposit. The younger they are (under 35 yrs old) the higher the pay.. WOW! And if they're over 6' feet tall, young and healthy is even more money AND they're allowed to sell their sperm 3 times per week at the same bank.. and we have dozens of those banks every where. Do the math (of money, not babies). Just thought I share this as it is very unusual to me BEV!

OMG! HAHA!! Stop it, you're killing me.. go to your room, NOW! BEV!

Someone needs a "Love Modification" FAST before is too late

And I think the cost of the trip AND the $3K would be tax deductible? Or am I wrong? I thought the class was gonna take place in FL BEV!

You don't have to fly, that's why the airlines have pilots. BWAAAHAHA!!Jonathan, I'm with you 100% I gave up flying long time ago and even if they pay me $1 Million I won't do it.. I may however, take the choo choo train to go places or maybe even a NakedInvestor Cruise BEV!

Stevie, I had never been a big fan of "I Buy Houses" myself as most people really think YOU buy houses (cash) and when they find out the real truth, they get mad LOL I agree with you about using something different. That title is getting too old Let's put our heads together and see what we can come up with.. Lemme see.. Oh here's one I just thought of... FSBO " Need A House ASAP. Ready To Make YOU An Offer Today " ........(By Owner Only Plz LOL) And then offer them the CA or whatever you offer, Stevie. Heck, u can even send them over to me if you like FRBO (this one is easy) FREE Quality Tenants. EARLY Rent Payments (not a property management) I can go on forever with this one BEV!

Oh Yeah, this is part of the Novela. It has happened to me a few times. But later on I found out that most of those who changed their minds at the last minute did it because they were in trouble with their mortgage and did not want any commitments in a L/O as they were already determined to either sell asap or let the house go.Of course they never told me this (most families are embarrassed to share this type of situation). I found out on my own later on. So now when someone changes their mind or rejects my program, I feel GOOD BEV!

Ken, this very same thing just happened to me last night hehe. In my opinion, if the house is officially "listed" with a Realtor, then I move on. But there are some exceptions to the rule though - First I make sure is officially listed or is the Realtor just helping the owner by listing the ad on CL? This happens a lot in my area - Secondly, I test the Realtor to see if I can get past him/her so I can talk directly with the owner.. If he/she says "no" and to deal with him/her, then I run the other way and move to the next prospect.. that's just me... But if he/she says "yes", then I'm good to go and take control I applied all the details I mentioned above to a real case last night with a Realtor on CL (FRBO) and here's the email he sent me this morning... ---------------- Hello Ms. Bev, Please call Mr. Garcia directly to talk to him about your program. He is very open to the lease option. His phone # is 209-xxx-xxxx. --------------- Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna pick up that phone and give Mr. Garcia a call ASAP! BEV!

I love Google, always have. I've been visiting lots of my local places lately such as Ebay, Craigslist, Yahoo, FaceBook and Google. I spent the entire day in Google the other day and loved it, but has any of you actually seen what the Google's building looks like? Check it out.. BEV!

OMG!! IS THIS "THE" KIMBERLY?? What a great pleasure to see you again. You and Tony have always been my favorite on this board through the years. Where is Tony??? Hellooooo Tony, can you read me? Please Come In? I miss you. Lets stay in touch, Kimberly BEV!

OMG! What a load of drama this owner is.. I have tons of references and a portfolio of done deals, but if a prospect deal asks me for references, (which they did about 5 yrs ago) I tell them that giving out my past customer's information is a violation of their privacy (ph #, Address, Name, etc)... If after that answer they still insist then I move on. Usually that answer works 99.9% of the times though BEV!

By looking at our bank account BEV!
