Michigan Foreclosure Report by Mark Ijlal

“ You know Mark what your problem is… you are a chicken. You don’t want to take any risks. The money in the world is made doing big deals. Forget doing these single family houses that bring in $20,000 checks. The real money is doing million dollar flips in Bloomfield Hills. Do ONE flip a year and just chill. Stop wasting your time doing these little deals – the million dollar market in Michigan is HOT.”

I have a confession to make.

I am extremely conservative when it comes to politics and money.

I like my money in ONLY one place – safe in my bank account.

I like my credit the way it is – good and up there.

I am in no hurry to get what I want out of my business and life. I enjoy every day. I took Nora out to lunch today. It was a late lunch / early dinner – around 5:00pm. We were sitting in a cozy Italian restaurant in Novi, relaxed after a busy day, enjoying very hot bread and extra virgin olive oil and all of a sudden I looked up and said , “ Hey do you know what time it is? Or more importantly do you remember what you and me were doing seven years ago at the same time?”

And then we both burst out laughing.

Dolly Patron, the famous singer and actress was working on a movie set, when a construction crew digging some ditches in sweltering heat outside the studio, drilled a hole in a pipe and disconnected the electricity to the studio.

As people scrammed in very hot weather inside the close door studio, tempers rose and soon everybody – director, producer, actors and extras were screaming at each other.

Dolly on the other hand relaxed, smiled and kept on chatting.

Somebody asked her surprised, “ Hey how come you are not swearing up and down because of the heat in here?”

Dolly smiled and said, “ Honey, you know I could have been out there, digging ditches, so THIS does not bother me.”

Once you have cleaned bathrooms (check), worked for $5 per hour (check), took two buses to work and back (check) drove a car with duct tape (check) been broke like a joke (check) – like yours truly,

Then you enjoy every day of your business, life and family.

I am in no hurry to be where eventually I want to be in life and business.

Apparently these people are.

Read what happened to Fifth Third Bank and to people who are in a hurry to get rich in Michigan real estate.
