Getting Started

February 7, 2011

Hello,

My name is Mark Edward Ethier. I purchased Dean's books and I'm reading everything I can. What I come away with in all of this is positive.

I what to maintain good documentation on what I am doing and where I am going. Slowly build a detailed journal of this venture. Kind of like a before and after picture.
First off I will say, it's been a very brutal and hard slam into the concrete due to a number of reasons; some of which was due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of real estate, but most of which because of the unscrupulous, dishonorable nasty people out there praying on honest good people just trying to make a better life for themselves and family. It is my ambition to be successful in real estate, give back and have the ability to educate people so they will not fall victim to the many perils out there.
In making a promise to myself: I will maintain a positive perspective and take the position the it's good that concrete is hard, because I will have a strong bounce back up! LOL!
Second, I can barely wait until I can start striking some deals. As I read more and more and become more involved the excitement level continues to grow. It's hard holding back and just learning because I just want to explode into the real estate market.
In closing,
I believe that Den's business is one of integrity and that he is a good man. Further, as a note, I will be practicing the ideas and techniques taught to try and be successful in real estate investing. The reasons are simple; I want to gain wealth and I already have great causes ear marked for what I will be giving back.

Warm Regards,

Mark Edward Ethier
