•How I Went From $30,000 In Debt, To Debt-Free In 36 Months
Three years ago I was $30,000 in debt. I was making $35,000/year. Today (Oct. 2006), I am debt-free. I paid off all of that debt by changing how I looked at debt, by making the hard choices, and by doing “whatever it took” to get out of debt. I don’t work in the financial or lending field. The only reason I have put my thoughts into writing is to try to help other people. I am 46 years old. This is my story.
Three years ago I was $30,000 in debt.
I had $15,000 in consumer debt (credit...
•How To Make $25,000 And More, By Creating An Offer That Home Sellers Can't Resist
Once upon a time a King sent out notice that his daughter, the beautiful, “Princess Profit”, was looking for a knight to wed.
Well, after the announcement, Princess Profit waited for her “knight in shining armor” to come and sweep her off her feet. She waited and she waited. And then she waited some more.

•How We Made $45,000 Fixing And Flipping A Mobile Home
In April of 2005, my Mom (who, like me, is also a real estate agent) was looking through our local “Thrifty Nickel” weekly classified ads newspaper. She saw a very interesting ad and brought it to my attention. The seller who placed the ad offered to sell six mobile homes, all on their own lots. The mobile homes were real property, not mobile homes located on rented lots. They were all being offered with seller financing.
The seller lived out of town and when we called him, he told us the...
•Model Home Secrets To Getting Your Empty Home Sold In Six Weeks Or Less
If you are trying to sell an empty home, you may have found this to be a blessing and a curse.
An empty home is easy to show. Buyers might like that fact that they can move right in. Potential buyers might even have an easier time seeing themselves in the home.
On the other hand, an empty home may feel cold and impersonal. Buyers are looking for a home that they can fall in love with. Even if your home is the nicest home that they buyers look at, if they don’t “feel the love”; they will...

•The Powerful Benefits Of Negative Cash Flow
I recently worked with an investor who withdrew from buying a great one bedroom condo that he was going to use as a rental. He withdrew because he was going to have negative cash flow the first few years that he owned the property.
What really surprised me about the situation is that the investor was buying the condo with a no-money-down loan and despite putting none of his own cash in the property; he still expected to break even right from the start!
This is kind of like buying a cow for...
•Top 10 Critical Mistakes Homebuyers Make And How To Avoid Them (Part One)
1.Using an out-of-town lender. Getting a mortgage in a timely and hassle-free manner is the “key that opens the door” to your new home.
