  James,
  
  Thanks! I hope that is the $189 version. Ha! Does John's course include contract/letters, etc...
  
  Have you purchased it? Have you bought any Sub 2's with it?
  
  Thanks again!

  Yes I have bought it and yes I have bought houses sub to using his manual. You get what you need but you will still need to make it state specific. Make sure you use this site as well.
  
  One other thing he will help you, you get his cell number and he answers it and will talk to you and help. It was the best money I have spent in my investing. Of course that is my 2 cents. Wish me luck have another appointment tonight 3rd one this week.

  James(Fellow Midwesterner),
  
  GOOD LUCK on your appt. tonight.
  
  One more quick question if you do not mind. How is the topic of finding sellers?
  
  Thanks

  Paul,
  
  The appointment was ok. They believe they have about 30,000 in equity and were not very motivated. Will let them sit on it for a while.
  
  As for finding sellers I just run my ads 24/7. It works.
  
  Where in the Midwest are you from?

  James,
  
  I'm from Michigan, but live in LA now.
  
  That's good about the ads. That seems like the area to REALLY focus on for me.

  RE doesn't always take $$ I know personally several people that have bought millions with jobs that paid in the 20K a year range. There is a lot available no money down. It is however easier if one has some $$ and I love subject to as a concept. Locke's book is well worth the $$

  You are so right. My very first Sub to deal was a $10 buck deal. So you are right this is the way to go.... However not all deals are so easy. Talk at great lenght today with John today. had a deal did my DD and wow the bank had file for foreclosure. The seller had told me point blank they were current. Just got off phone with her. Deal may fall apart. Not sure if I can work with someone who lied. John said it best . A deal that starts off bad ussual gets worse. Open for 2cents anyone?

  KnowledgeJunkie,
  
  The Road Not Taken
  
  Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
  And sorry I could not travel both
  And be one traveler, long I stood
  And looked down one as far as I could.
  
  To where it bent in the undergrowth;
  Then took the other, as just as fair,
  And having perhaps the better claim,
  Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
  
  Though as for that the passing there
  Had worn them really about the same,
  And both that morning equally lay
  In leaves no step had trodden black.
  
  Oh, I kept the first for another day!
  Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
  I doubted if I should ever come back.
  I shall be telling this with a sigh
  Somewhere ages and ages hence:
  
  Two roads diverged in a wood, and
  I took the one less traveled by,
  And that has made all the difference.

  You should pick one and move forward with your career.

  Thanks for all the encouragement. I can't belive how great this site is. I look forward to sharing my first deal with all of you.

  At times perseverance is the key to victory but... I agree with John, most deals I have done that started out bad generally I figured they cost me more than they were worth in stress, time, and hassle.
