Nik, I met a lady this past weekend who thoroughly convinced me that Rickson is right. Not that I doubted you Rickson email me you if you`d like to make contact with her. I believe she could help you a lot as she specializes in Arizona. I tried PMing you but realized you don`t have access...

Well done Carrie. Congratulations on your successes. It`s very inspiring. Thanks! QUOTE (CarrieKoch @ May 20 2010, 10:05 PM) Thanks guys !! I really did work hard and it was frustrating at times muddling through but we did it. We definitely learned a lot along the way and thankfully didn`t...

On the positive side, at least there is such a thing as safety and quality regulations now, if not always followed. There are thousands of miles of pipeline in the ground all across Alberta which were built with very little oversight. At least now every weld is x-rayed to inspect for structural...

Hi Mark, Yep, mine has arrived and I've started reading it. It actually didn't take that long, not sure why I thought it would be sooner, I think because I received the email that it was shipped very quickly after ordering it. Zander QUOTE (markl @ Jan 26 2010, 01:17 PM) LOL...

Will do. Thanks Mark. Zander QUOTE (markl @ Jan 22 2010, 07:35 AM) Zander I am hearing mixed messages on that front. I know Amazon has stock we did suck them dry last week. My suggestion is give Amazon a call and see where the book is. I spoke with someone who pre-ordered it and hadn`t...

Hi Mark. How long is the book taking to arrive at destination on average when purchased from Amazon? I kind of expected mine by now. Thanks. Zander QUOTE (markl @ Jan 21 2010, 07:14 AM) Mike H - I am glad you enjoyed it looking forward to hearing about your success. Mike M - When you...

Godfried, Great post. I always appreciate your genuine and level headed approach. I learn something about investing every time I read one of your posts. Something about understanding geological time perhaps. Anyways, I was thinking, perhaps we could package up the information on this post and...

I second that. Valuable info. Thanks for sharing. quote name=`gwasser` date=`Jan 18 2010, 09:57 PM` post=`76438`] QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Jan 18 2010, 09:44 PM) Hi Jim, First of all thanks for your valuable market research. Also, I wanted to respond so you don`t think you`re sending messages in...

Barry, Thanks again for all of your amazing work on behalf of us REIN members. Zander QUOTE (BarryMcGuire @ Jan 18 2010, 12:39 PM) I strongly believe the Certificate of Independent Legal Advice (CILA) is ultra-important for the lease-option strategy. Not as important for other strategies, but...

I agree with everyone here that the yellow letter campaign has to be modified, but the benefit of the handwritten and personally addressed letter is that people actually open the envelope. This does not happen with typical direct mail, which usually gets thrown into the garbage. I think there...

I`ve just completed "Man`s Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl. For those of you out there knowing your life has a specific meaning, but not totally being able to decipher what that is, this book is amazing. Enjoy.

Jim, All of your posts discussing your marketing findings have been incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing your information so freely. QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Jan 14 2010, 09:59 PM) What I`ve found most interesting is the difference between the contacts I get from the yellow letters and those I...
