Do Your Really Want To Do This?
You really have to stop and ask yourself that question before you even start to look for a home using no qualifying techniques.
If you just feel that maybe you would like to explore creative ways to buy your home to save some money or maybe just dabble in real estate part time to pick up a some extra cash, your chances of success are maybe 1 in 10. That’s on the outside!
It is not enough just to feel you want to do this. You have to be really, really motivated! You have to be fed up with the way you’ve been treated in the past. You have to be mad at the whole world that has kept you from home ownership. You have to want to own your own home so bad that you can’t think of anything else. It has to consume you!
If you develop that mindset, you increase your odds in this game tremendously. And your chances of success are close, or at, 100%.
But you have to keep yourself psyched up! You have to believe in yourself and ignore comments of the naysayers, no matter how well intentioned they may be. Remember, thousands of people buy real estate every day using creative means, with no qualifying and no credit.
You may have (I mean you probably will have) days when you’re sure you will never be able to find the home you’re looking for. No one will return your calls. Things are not going well at work. Family stress is taking its toll. But don’t give up! Every day will bring you one day closer to your goal.
Some days you just need to take a break - don’t let the situation break you! Read a good book. Take your spouse to the movies. Re-read, or read for the first time, "The Power of Positive Thinking". Or "Think and Grow Rich". Both books have been read and praised by millions for their ability to help develop a positive outlook on life.

Ralph Marston has a new message every day that is sure to pick you up. (No, I don’t get anything for the referral.)
Keep in mind that many people do this everyday. Mechanics, laborers, stay at home Moms, retirees, successful investors, new kids on the block, teachers - they all do it. You will not be doing anything that has not been done before by thousands of people. Nothing new. You will simply duplicate what someone else has already done.
You may not have the knowledge to do this yet. But that is why you are here, isn’t it?
Think about it. If this is truly something you want to do, check back for the next installment.
