Joe Crump and Katie flying
a kite from inside the van in February
(it was very cold outside).
I have been a real estate
investor and a real estate agent since 1986. During that time I have
helped many hundreds of people buy and sell real estate and
sold a ton of it for myself.
I've been married to my
wife, Nancy for 10 years. I'm a dad to an 8 year old boy named Alex
and a 4 year old girl named Katie. Alex wants to be an inventor and
Katie wants to dance and be an explorer. We live in Indiana now...
the town where I grew up. I've come full circle.
I have very few complaints
about my life at the moment. I've found some excellent ways to make a
living that don't take up all of my time (it hasn't always been this
way). I don't miss any of my kid's soccer games or music recitals.
Nancy is a stay at home mom (that's the way she wanted it too). I
spend Sundays with my family. I love what I do and I don't ever
intend to retire.
I graduated from college
in 1981 with a degree in Film Production (making movies) and promptly
moved from Chicago (were I went to college) to Los Angeles. I worked
in the movie industry for the next 5 years as a "Grip."
"Grips" are the
guys that rig the lights and camera to prepare for a shot. It wasn't a
bad living. I made good money and I had half the year off (it was all
freelance work). But I wanted to be a script writer... (they
say everybody in L.A. has a script)
So, over a 5 year period,
I wrote 12 feature length screenplays until, finally, some executive at
20th Century Fox gave me a call and told me they liked one of
my scripts and wanted to develop it.
Hooray!... I was
going to make $350,000 and begin my real career! Or so I
thought. Well, after about a year of "development" and
rewrites, it finally sputtered and died.
I said, "enough of
this garbage," (but not in those exact words) and decided
that I would make enough money to make my own damn movie. I thought
that real estate might be the right way.
Real estate *was*
more fun than being a grip. No bosses... no regular hours... good
money (better than gripping) and lots of freedom.
I didn't make enough to
make my movie, but I did make it to the top 1% of all Realtors in the world
in the last three years with my production and income.
I've been involved in over
$30,000,000 in real estate transactions over the years. There
have been lots of headaches and I've been stabbed in the back a few
times, but overall, it has been a blast.
During this time, I've
helped many people buy their first investment property. I've also
worked with big investors.
Some of them had money and
good credit, many of them did not. I've dedicated this book to
the folks who had NOTHING to start with and built a money-making real
estate business to be proud of.
I put my first venture
online in 1998. It is a book that I originally wrote for my clients
with bad credit titled, "How To Clean Your Credit In 60
Days!" You can find out more about this book and download a FREE
trial version at:
www.cleanyourcredit.com.
Then, I started a real
estate investor newsletter called "The Real Estate Money Maker
E-zine!" It's FREE and gives tips about how to buy and
sell real estate with little or no money down, with bad credit or no
income. I've got over 7,000 subscribers and it's growing every day. You
can subscribe by sending a blank email to:
joecrump@joecrump.com
It's free and you can
unsubscribe any time you want.
So that's it. Probably
more than you ever wanted to know about Joe Crump.

I wish you and your family
the best of all good things.
