Goals: Setting, Planning and Accomplishing
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. People with goals succeed because they know where they are going. They have a clear destination in mind, and have built a roadmap for getting there, along with what they have to do along the way. The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them.
If you don’t know where you are going, you might not get there. Yogi Berra

Vendor/Seller Financing – Vendor Take Back (VTB)
Vendor or seller financing, or VTB (Vendor Take Back) for short, is an underutilized source of financing for real estate purchases. This short video discusses VTBs and gives an example of how vendor financing allowed for the sale of property that would not qualify for conventional financing options. The key is understanding the vendor’s problem, and working with them to develop a proposal that addresses those problems, while providing the buyer with an opportunity to finance the purchase outside of the conventional lender space, like banks and trust companies. The goal is to create win-win scenarios.
