It's a Tough Market - So What Can You Do?

Dear Friends and Fellow Investors,

I know it has been awhile - two other books were put ahead of this system by my intuition, chose to go with that, of course. See details below. Meanwhile, what can you do about real estate? The Fed is behind the curve on what it is really like for us outside the beltway, so these are tough times for us.

In recent months the media have made a bad situation worse for real estate. Sure, you can get those foreclosures every real estate expert is exhorting you to buy. But what is your exit strategy? How can you sell the properties? And how can you get credit? This is crunch time!

Actually, this was the situation when I sold my first house in the early 1990's. It was a really down market. Neighbors were losing tens of thousands of dollars on their homes, which sat on the market for 7,8,9,10 months. The entire neighborhood was depressed!

So how did I get a contract in 6 weeks and make a $50,000 profit?

I had no experience selling real estate. There was no internet. I had no idea what to do. My intuition said to sell it myself! I said to my intuition, "You gotta be kidding." When you live intuitively, your conversations get really interesting! Yet since I was raised to trust my intuition, I could not dismiss this. I had already started my Master Intuition System for Leaders. I had to walk my talk.

So I did two things, my usual Intellect-Intuition partnership.

1. The intellect part: I did what I knew how to do, research! I went to the library down the street and checked out every book on how to sell your own home, spreading them out on the dining room table and flying low through every one. I went to a seminar on the topic. I made a master list of everything that experts said needed to be done in every room and outside, hired the daughter of a neighbor to help me and we went through the list and did the work.

2. The intuition part: I checked to make sure it was OK to sell and move. My intuition said yes. I asked my intuition the best things to do during the fix-up stage, like should I put in a new stove. Yes. I did.

When a potential buyer came who seemed too pushy, I asked if this was the best buyer for the house. A clear strong yes. While holding to my reasonable requirements for price and all, I was willing to deal with this buyer even though he was not my choice for this beautiful healing home. Intuition said yes, though, so he got the home.

Otherwise, I would have priced him out and waited for someone less arrogant and more caring. Looking back later, I realized that he needed the healing of living there, so it was a good thing.

And that dear friends is how I got my house sold in 6 weeks in a really bad market and made a $50,000 profit! So don't give up on your dreams and goals. Just shift strategies!

Want this level of intuition, so you can rely on it for major financial decisions? My Master Intuition System for real estate will come out in 2008. Why the delay? My intuition guided me to finish two books first and they are just now going to print:

1. To shift leadership into a more positive place: From Old Power to New Power - Which
Leaders Will Survive?
2.
To strenthen marriages: Appreciation - The Secret Key to a Magical Marriage

Wishing you the best of deals, profit, and peace of mind!
