And Then My Intuition Said, "Wait, Wait", Don't Apply for the Mortgage Yet

HI Everyone,
OK , we all know what it is like in real estate now. Ok, now, keep it clean!
I know it is painful. As an economist, and leadership expert, it hurts doubly to see the Fed
so far behind the curve and good folks like me who were not unrealistic and greedy get hurt!

So, what is a real estate investor to do? In tough times, turn to your intuition!

The sellers were pressuring me for a close date, but somehow I just did not feel right
about moving forward. My 2 mortgage folks were not responding quickly to me even
though they needed and wanted my business. They gave out little bits of info. but not all the
details I needed to decide. What to do?

I kept asking my intuition when I could get out of the upset and go into neutral, and I kept getting "wait." Usually my least favorite answer from my intuition. But I trusted it. So I waited.

Three cool things happened:
1 New mortgage guy showed up w/better deal and conditions.
2. The Fed lowered rates, saving me money.
3. A friend in the mortgage business gave me some industry information which put me in
a better negotiating position.

Thank you intuition! I will end up with a better deal!

Have a great month. Don't give up. This will turn around soon, and hey, if you are into
positive visualization or prayer, ask for and envision the real estate market turning around and values going up again soon! Thank you!

Wishing you the best of success and peace and joy at this holiday time!! Whatever holidays you observe, enjoy!

One of my goals or 2008 is to finish my Master Intuition System for Real Estate home study course for investors, agents and homebuyers!
