Hey guys,
As you know, this weekend was Dean's live E.D.G.E. event and I must say, this surpassed any expectations I had by far, for his first live event it was first class all the way. Dean was not only a gracious host, he was genuine, down to earth, available and accessible to us. The event was held at a beautiful resort that had riding stables, a golf course, three water slides and much more... Very impressive! Dean's staff was as awesome as Dean, but of course what else would you expect, right? No surprise there, Dean only works with the very BEST and they held up to those standards! They were quite entertaining, professional, very nice, and just as genuine as Dean. As for the attendees, all I can say is I met the greatest group of people in the whole US of A! Rina was just as sweet as can be, Anita was as quick witted as she is with her knowledgeable posts. Chip and Andrea were the cutest couple, and so were Bob and Deborah by the way. Everyone was just as fantastic in person as they are on the site. No kidding! The weekend was packed with SO much great information that time flew by and the event ended before I knew it!
I learned a lot and renewed my excitement with the new knowledge I received. But I must say the Aha moment that I learned from the event was to go to several small community banks in your area, ask for the manager. Open a business checking account using your business EIN number and your corporate articles. Deposit whatever amount you can afford to your new account, then borrow it back on a secured loan. Take that money and do it again at a couple more small community banks. Make your payments in person and talk to the staff regularly, this will build your raport with the banks, but also build business credit and your paydex score quickly. Once you pay off the loans then ask for a bigger line of credit and do it again. Now I knew that you should do this with your personal credit, but it never dawned on me to do it with your business as well. I thought you had to apply for trade lines of credit to build your paydex score or pay D&B for their credit builder, NOT SO! I'd much rather use the $500 to open a checking account for my business and build my credit instead of paying someone to do it, not to mention having money from the loan. Thanks Dean! This event impacted me forever, I look forward to next year and seeing everyone on our anniversary.
God bless everyone and return them home safely,
Elena

Who is Dean Graziosi?
Are People Actually Successful?
Does Dean Practice What He Preaches?
What Deals Are The Students Doing Right Now?
wow!!!
I have never thought that would work!!! Nice! Of to the bank tomorrow!
LOL!
I know, right?
where?
All I have to say is where does Dean come up with all these strategies? It's like when one seems to expire working he finds another one.
I love the guy!
Thanks for the post Elena.
You're welcome....
Like I said, Dean has a top notch staff of the BEST people in the world working for him. I learned that from coach Nathan, he also posts here on the site. All the coaches were full of such great information on what's working today and they're more than happy to share it, so I'm happy to do the same.
hey girl!
You are MY idol...all of you. I had the time of my life there too. C U NEXT YEAR
Hey!
You guys are SO amazing!!! Still seems like a dream.
(posting from iPhone. Will Definitely have more to add when I get home tomorrow night) heading off to brainstorming session with Dean this morning!
This has been the most incredible weekend! Now we REALLY feel like family, huh?? Wish everyone could have been here. Thrilled that Dean is going to do it again next year!!!
Talk soon,
Love to all,
Rina
E.D.G.E. event
Hey everyone. I really enjoyed meeting each of you at the EDGE event this past weekend, especially those of you with your success stories in Dean's latest book, Profit from Real Estate Now! Meeting each of you at the event and hearing about your successes really brings Dean's message to life. Thank you for sharing and for being so open with complete Real Estate Newbies like myself. Thank you; thank you.
I had used the small community bank loan idea to establish a working relationship with three (3) local banks for an individual un-secured line of credit; but never took the jump to do that with establishing a business line of credit. I'll have to add that to my short term goals and begin working on that!
I am confident that employing Dean's techniques, like each of you have, that I too will be successful. I can't wait to return to the event next year and be able to share my success with other new investors.
Hey there!
Man, I miss you guys already... LOL! I swear I felt like I was hangin with my family all weekend, nothing but good times, good stories, good food and tons of laughs! I can't wait until next year, but I will definitely keep in close contact with you...
Sisters you are the BEST and I mean BEST! Gumby I know you'll do it because I'm gonna be on you like white on rice... LOL!
I keep looking at all the signatures in my book and watching the little videos I made, it's so surreal. I just chuckle at us and think what a fantastic time I had. Man, I didn't want it to end!
Love you guys,
Love the video!
Thanks soooooo much for posting that Lena! (I got kinda hungry watching Rina though!)
You all looked so good & relaxed!
I can't wait to hear more about the big event!

THE EDGE
Hi everyone, this is Ali, I just returned from the conference and had the best time. All the people that we met are fantastic, and the positive energy is the best. I can now say that I have the confidence needed to create my strategy and put it to work thanks to all of the inspiring people that shared their success stories.
It is now my goal to be sitting on the RED COUCH next year, so I can inspire those as you all have inspired me.
Thanks everyone
THE EDGE 09
Hello to all.
We just retruned from the conference and had to let everyone know what an amazing time it was. It was great to meet everyone and comforting to know that many were having the same struggles as us. Needless to say Dean was great, meeting him has just reassured us with our decision to become part of the DG family. Came home with renewed enthusiasim and ready to get those deals done. I think we may have been the only Canadians at the event and hope to meet more Canadian DG family.
Can't wait for next year to attend again.
Thanks to all the DG staff for their hard work to make this event so fantastic. It was seamless and great fun.
Thanks Greg!
I will contact you soon. I appreciate you sending me this! It was great meeting you and I look forward to getting to know you better.
God bless you,
Elena
Thanks for repeating the process
Hello Elena, Wow what a great aha moment. All the information learned at the conference was awesome For Kim and I, we too thought the strategy for business credit was priceless.
I know!
There were a couple of AHA moments for me. The business credit, the probates, the non-performing notes... WOW! I learned so much! I'm glad you were as wowed as I. I'm wondering how he's going to top this next year... LOL!
Any new aha moments ?
I enjoy reading the aha moments. There we so many at the Edge conference. My wife and I consently are discussing the conference and recapping the aha moments. Just reading the blog to see if there are any more new moments. Good luck with your deals. Believe and Achieve!
Thanks
Thanks for passing along the info Elena M!
Just to say Hi!
I purchased the book profit from realestate over two months ago and set it aside never reading it until today 8/14/09. Just want to say I wish I had read it weeks ago because there is so much information in it especially for the recorded message to save the home from foreclosure. This is what people need to know and they will not feel like you are trying to take their home.
I Love it thanks.
That's wonderful
Time to take notes....
Ha!
I appreciate you saying that Mike. I'm always glad to help, so if you need it just let me know, that's what it's all about. ;D
I have paid for at least 4
I have paid for at least 4 different gurus education totaling around $20K to learn how to wholesale, which in and of itself doesn't seem so hard, but what I have found in my area is; realtors have locked up all the info to reos and all the foreclosures are going back to the beneficiarys, I have gone to the auctions and found realtors are buying only a select few 95% are going back to the bank. If my buyers list is all realtors who can get info first how can I beat them? EVERYONE at the auction was a realtor they had a class for new investors i attended hoping to meet buyers,it ended up being a realtor group who had private & tradtional funding & hard money and does all the wholesaling for the buyers in town on a contract straight from the title companies and auction I am desperately needing to earn income and continue to hit block walls,HELP?? I already knew top private investor and hard money lender how can i top a company that has secured them with all the work done money verifeid titles searched and a in with the auction and beneficiarys and 100mil investor funds??
