Positive Feedback From One Of The Reipients Of The Letter We Sent Out!

John just got a phone call from one of the recipients of the 12 letters we sent out from the Profit Grabber software.

The caller said, "You're just one of those realtors aren't you!?"

John answered, "No, it's just my wife and I who buy properties and try to help people if we can."

This helped the man relax and share information about his own home which is in the process of loan restructuring, but is still behind in payments and in risk of foreclosure. At this time, the caller just wanted to talk and is hoping that he can keep his home.

John congratulated Laura for getting the Profit Grabber software loaded, working, and producing results. Laura happily accepted his compliment.

When trying a new strategy,
it is rewarding to see the first fruits of your labors.

Great complex with 6 Units in Scapoose OR

John and Laura looked at a 6 unit complex in Scapoose Oregon on their Christmas day travels. They are preparing an offer to buy it. They are hoping the owner will carry the contract for them. This is an owner that John has known for many years, in fact, it was one of his high school teachers. That is something to keep in mind when considering people you may know that you would like to invest in. Some contacts go way back, like this special person to John.

STEPHEN AND RACHEL 1ST HOME

Stephen and Rachel bought their first house. They were pleased to receive the $8,000 government credit (plus interest) on the purchase of their home. It's great to see the kids buy their first home, and in time to settle in before their little one is born in the spring! CONGRATULATIONS!
Now lets get the other kids into homes while the $8,000 is still available! And anybody else who is a first time home buyer, now's the time!

Mailed 12 Letters, Our First Letters Using Profit Grabber ...

Laura and John mailed out their first 12 letters today offering help to people whose properties are in the foreclosure process, but not completely foreclosed,  using the Profit Grabber Software. Laura created a notebook for keeping track of letter responses and for compiling information on real estate deals. This is an exciting step, they have done a lot of real estate transactions in their lifetime, but this is the first time for this approach.

Busy With the Holidays, But Still Doing Business. Hoping to Help Home Owners

Even though John and Laura are getting ready for Christmas like so many of you, they are taking time to continue doing their real estate business. Laura just prepared 11 letters to be sent to home owners who are distressed. The homeowners were located through a list of properties that are foreclosing.
John and Laura are hoping to help these homeowners from going into full foreclosure by working with them, possibly helping them catch up back payments, and discussing options that would avoid foreclosure.

Mobile Home Park in Oregon

John is looking into putting an offer on a mobile home park in Oregon. He's wanted to own one for a long time now, and it looks like now is the time.
A few obstacles:
1. The zoning has changed since the former owner had it running as a mobile home park. This is an obstacle John is working to overcome by communicating with the city. The zoning is now "commercial".
2. There are no mobile homes there anymore.
John responds well to challenges. He's got his sleeves rolled up and he's going to work on it.
