UDW makes front page, Cat becomes famous!

We got off the plane in Detroit (returing from the Las Vegas Conference, turned our phones on and they exploded! (with messages and texts….not like a bomb). I thought this was all a joke.
We went to the newsstand that there we were …..on the FRONT PAGE of the DETROIT FREE PRESS. Yeah! The facts and numbers, as usual with journalism pieces, are not quite right but the spirit and overall message is! The picture…well that is a different story. The photographer was quite a bit early and I was not dressed yet. Of course the one picture she took in the 45 seconds I was downstairs before going up to out on my sweater is the one that makes the front page. Blah! Oh, well – I have seen better and worse days. I have a PDF of the article but it is too big to put here...below is the email we sent out to almost everyone with a link to the article online……Yes – our cat made the paper but our UDW partner Jared did not. Hmmm……

My wife and I just got back from the annual Creative Real Estate Online conference in Las Vegas. We met some great people and as always we came away with some fabulous ideas. Every month we travel somewhere to learn something new and promote our business. It is always interesting how people react when they hear about what we are doing in the city of Detroit. There is a very negative impression about what is going on in the city. Most think we were lucky to make it out alive! These myths are not easily dispelled. Events that happened thirty years ago are still dictating most
peoples conscious thoughts about Detroit. I challenge everyone to go to our website at www.WholesaleMi.com and look at the pictures and video walk throughs of the houses we are buying. Do they look like war zones to you? Do you see anyone with an uzi or an ak47 shooting at us? Of course not. What you will see are great looking houses in great neighborhoods. I would say that most of the houses are nicer than the home you are currently living in! No joke! Look at our latest purchase on Woodingham St.

It truly is amazing the quality of the house you can buy here and how cheap you can buy it. Before the 1970's, Detroit was one of the richest cities in the world. The housing stock built in this city was built for the rich and very well to do middle class. These are very well built houses with a replacement cost in the low $100,000 range. I am quoted as saying these houses are “diamonds” and I truly mean it. These houses are bargains and you can buy them at a 70 percent discount to their current value. Compared to their replacement cost, you getting an even bigger discount. Sometimes it takes an outsider to bump your brain in a different direction and see things from a different perspective.

I'm driving through a field of diamonds shoveling them into the back of my truck. Come join me and get your diamonds. Having started as an out of state investor, I have a unique perspective.

Motivational Quote
“I’m not successful because I’m great. I just fail faster than everyone else!”
Rachel Young

I know there are a lot of people out there who are to afraid to start because they might fail. I'm here to tell you that you will fail regardless of how hard you try not to. I'm also here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with failing. You should fail as much as you possibly can. Because if you are failing and learning from your mistakes each time, you will be successful. The people who are the most successful didn't make the least amount of mistakes, they are the ones that got back up after the mistakes were made

Happy Investing,
