Family
I was recently married to the love of my life, Holly.  She is everything I have ever wanted in a life partner.  Pretty cool to find that person, huh?  Yeah, I think so too!

By the way,  my real estate investment business is the reason we were able to get married in Fiji, at sunset, on the water, by a Fijian minister.  This business DOES work, as long someone puts in the work required.  It is not an easy road to haul, but I can assure you, it is well work all the blood, sweat and tears.

About Darren
Darren Dicke is a Real Estate Investor who specializes in wholesaling.  Over the years, Darren has completed rehab projects, subject-to, lease options, land contracts, short sales and lots of contract assignments, thus making him a bona fide transaction-engineer.

2007 was the year that changed the direction of Darren's business forever.  Besides taking more consistent, daily action, Darren hired a business coach.  "My coach changed the way I do business, forever.  I could listen to everything he says but if I don't take action, I'm just throwing money down the drain."

     !The key to this business is taking action!

Boot camps and real estate trainings are chock-full of people who think that if they just learn one more technique, they will be able to get out there and make it all happen.  BULL!  I didn't even know what a mortgage was when I got started in this business.  Heck, my first deal was a subject to and I literally followed step by step out of a book, how to complete a sub-to.  All I knew was that I would be making payments and he would deed his house into my trust. 

   ?Are you a gamer? 


Analysis paralysis is a stone-cold killer.  There are potentially so many angles to look at every deal from that a lot of times "thinking about it" leads to inaction.  Understand me here, due dilligence is absolutely necessary but most of it can be done after you have a property under contract. 

  * Hire a Coach *

If you truly are not afraid to bust your butt and you absolutely desire to succeed in this business (or any business for that matter) HIRE A COACH.  I am living, breathing proof that a good coach will make you bust your butt, ask you to do things that don't make sense and probably piss you off from time to time.  Guess what?  After following directions consistently, things start to change.  The bank account gets a little bigger and all the hard work starts to pay dividens.  My coach is directly responsible for an over $50,000 increase in my business revenues, this year alone. 

  Get off your butt and find some deals!

When you do, email Darren.  HomeBuyer3D@yahoo.com.

Thanks for your friendship. I have sent you a request to join my group, Residential 2 Commercial Investing. We have compiled a collection of blogs and discussions that pertain to everyone transitioning or desiring to transition to Commercial Financing and Investing.

I would like to encourage you to use us as a resource for all of your Commercial Financing and Investing needs. We offer fee based Commercial Loan Packaging, Underwriting Services and Loan Placement Services.

Our services benefit Investors purchasing or selling Commercial Real Estate in many ways. Here are a few:

BUYERS:

Our clients don't risk any earnest money until they have pre-approved financing.

Our clients negotiate better prices and terms based on the pre-approved financing they receive. Sellers consider our buyers more serious and professional b/c of the third party analysis.

Our clients close faster because the financing is in place because of the pre-established lender relationships.

SELLERS:

Sell your property with FINANCING IN PLACE before offering your property for sale.

Your buyers will close sooner because the financing contingencies are removed.

Only enter contract with qualified buyers who can meet the lender conditions to close.

Avoid price negotiations with interested buyers based on the financing available.

Find out more at 800-296-2388 or TheMoneyFinderLLC@GMail.Com

Hey Darren,

It was great seeing you at the REI Connect. I definately had some "ah ha" moments during your question/answer sessions and have made a decision being new to this that wholesaling will be my first priority no matter what kind of deal crosses my desk.

Thanks for sharing,

Steve

Darren,

THANK YOU for being at REI Connect....your down-to-earth, REAL style and manner are such a draw amongst the more flamboyant and flashy presentations/entertainers. 

I'm so ready for the coaching to start that waiting a week for our first call is already making me antsy!

Thanks again,

Leanne in Phoenix.

Darren,

I've been watching your videos and I'm impressed at how you wholesale. I'm just starting and would like your help with the process. I do have a program I ordered and I know how it works, but I'm not sure about the contract details. I have several I can use, I just want to make sure I do it right. I have my lists and I'm going to start offering, will you help me if I get stuck or go blank? I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to team up with people nation wide where we can all help each other out and profit (like a MONEYTRAIN).

Darren,

Your above comment is spot on. I am a new investor and I have not closed any deals, but "analysis paralysis" is what I sometime feel setting in for me with everything I am reading and studying. I feel as though I need to get out there and make it happen. I am going to my first REI Club meeting tonight that I am really looking forward to.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Nick
