Friday was interesting in the news, DaimlerChyrsler announced its projected losses for 3rd quarter is to be around 1.5 billion up from the 600 million projected.

Ford announces the change at the CEO position and accelerates ‘Way Forward’ program which includes the lost of 44,000 jobs, close plants, cut costs totalling $5 billion by end of year.

On the other side of the coin is Toyota who is increasing its truck the Tundra by 200,000 units and placing them on the ground for mid February Launch. You got to start asking yourself basic questions like “What do they know we don’t” … Remember, go in the opposite direction of everyone else then you will achieve your dreams.

Gas prices are dropping where Bonnie bought gas for $2.09 a gallon. That is good relief for everyone … I don’t know about you but I travel lot of miles in a month and that is a nice raise to my bottom line.

On the Real Estate side …

While all that is going on, I’m negotiating with a soon to retire landlord on buying his properties. How we found each other is interesting. How I found him was not of my effort but of my network’s effort looking for opportunities for me to buy properties. One of the guru’s once said to put together a network of folks called ants who will run around their respective areas looking for pesky foreclosures, etc. I just don’t limit myself to foreclosures. I have found FSBO’s deals better than foreclosures and less work. So, I worked with my network and it has paid off this year alone with 5 great deals that would never show up on MLS or foreclosure. Go figure.

Keep the faith, and keep pushing forward.

This is Bob, signing off for now!
