I&#8217;ve always been a believer in dreams.

Write down everything about that piece of property that would make you deliriously happy! Don&#8217;t self-edit.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2.<strong>Find a good loan person.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Like any good advisor, this person can steer you in the right direction for your future investment. Make sure it&#8217;s someone who not only understands numbers, but has great communication skills and can advise you on the necessary steps to get your money in alignment with your dream.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Find that right REALTOR\u00ae\u00a0who believes in your dream.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This person needs to &#8220;get&#8221; you! It might happen right away, or take a bit of time with some ongoing dialogue, but ultimately you want to feel like they know\u00a0<strong>exactly\u00a0<\/strong>what you are aiming for (sometimes before <strong>you<\/strong> even do). \u00a0With their expertise, they can whittle down that wishlist into what you absolutely\u00a0<strong>can&#8217;t live without<\/strong> and what you can <strong>compromise on.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Share that wishlist with your\u00a0REALTOR\u00ae. Let him or her hone in on what&#8217;s &#8220;wish&#8221;ful thinking and what&#8217;s reality. Maybe shoot for a bit of both?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Create a clear vision together. More conversations \u00a0that you have, the clearer your dream becomes to your \u00a0REALTOR\u00ae. And sometimes it&#8217;s not just what you need, but what you\u00a0<strong>want.\u00a0<\/strong>Those intangibles are just as important as making the monthly payment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Focus on it like a mantra. Keep it uppermost in your mind.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Have a visionboard or you can write it down on a piece of paper and put it somewhere that is an hourly\/daily reminder of \u00a0what you are seeking. Write it in a manner that puts it in the present tense.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><em>I am buying a cabin on a lake now!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-center\" src=\"http:\/\/activerain.com\/image_store\/uploads\/agents\/gayleatfishhawklake\/files\/cabin%20with%20foxglove%20300x296%20%20IMG_1939.jpg\" alt=\"Cabin on Fishhawk Lake-Gayle Rich-Boxman \" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">\n<p>6. <strong>Open up a &#8220;Christmas&#8221; account.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Remember having to save to buy presents at the end of the year? In college, money was always tight,so I created a Christmas account through my bank and religiously put in money throughout the year. Maybe put a percentage of every paycheck in there. You can even get a big jar and put ALL OF YOUR EXTRA CHANGE IN THERE DAILY. You will be surprised at how it adds up! It is like a Christmas present to\u00a0<strong>yourself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAM.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If\u00a0you don&#8217;t,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><em>no one else will.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>8. <strong>Surround yourself with those who believe you CAN do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>If you are reaching for a star and just can&#8217;t touch it, there are those who care about you enough to give you a boost UP; that stepstool that gives you that extra heighth to reach that star!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>9. <strong>Write down a date to aim for.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Even if it comes and goes, you have a\u00a0<strong>target.\u00a0<\/strong>It takes practice to hit the bullseye. Don&#8217;t give up if you don&#8217;t get there in the time alloted. Create a new date.

If you\u00a0<strong>really want it and it feels right,<\/strong> there are usually several ways to get it! It takes thinking outside of the box. Selling stocks, an extra vehicle, writing a contingency, moving money, doing a trade, asking for a private contract, gifting&#8230;.there are myriads of ways to make that dream happen IF you keep the door of opportunity OPEN and tap into the other foundational aspects that you&#8217;ve put into place prior to this.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><strong><em>Now Get Out There and Dream BIG!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><strong><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-center\" src=\"http:\/\/activerain.com\/image_store\/uploads\/agents\/gayleatfishhawklake\/files\/Greasy%20Spoon%20sunset%20January%202015-01-08%2017.27.47.jpg\" alt=\"Greasy Spoon Sunset-Gayle Rich-Boxman \" width=\"642\" height=\"496\" \/>If you are looking for a cabin on a lake, let me help you fulfill your dream!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">\n<p class=\"center\">\n<p class=\"center\">Rain Silverhawk 208-610-0011<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">www.northidahosandpoint.com<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dreaming about owning property?
