Wholesaling Basics 101

Wholesaling Basics 101

Ok folks, now that you have the right mindset it's time to step out and take real action!

Note: Wholesaling can be done with NO credit and NO cash out of your pocket.

Here's the basics of wholesaling:

Find a motivated seller and negotiate a sales price around 40 to 75% of the after repair value (the value of the house if it were in good or live in condition). Of course, the lower the better. Put the house under contract (put your name and/or assigns) with as long an inspection period as you can negotiate. (45 days or more, the longer the better, you need time to market it.)

Take the price that you agreed upon and mark it up anywhere from $1,000 up, depending on homework you've done to get the appraised value of the home, comps in the area, etc.

Market the property to your list of buyers. You should constantly be building a database of them until you have a few hundred or more.

Then once you find your buyer, you assign the purchase contract to them. Then you do an assignment contract with your buyer for your 'fee'. You pay no money out of pocket. (The buyer pays the earnest deposit and any down payments.)

Take both contracts to your title company and they will call you when your check is ready. At this point you're out of it now (till closing.) Make sure you tell them to contact the seller and buyer directly and provide their information.

Summary: You're simply the connector between buyer and seller and getting paid an assignment fee for doing so.

The more you do, the more money you'll make... SUWEET!

Are you ready to try it?

It's not true. You're not representing the property as a Realtor, you are holding the contract and turning over your interest to another buyer for a fee, there's a difference. Hope this clarifies it.

Hey thats my saying! SUWEET
Hello Elena,
Thats funny i just posted that question or something like it, so i am having the homeowner or owner sign a "agreement to purchase" from deans documents now are you putting up the earnest money and down payment when you sign with the owner? Now the only paper that needs to be filled out between me and the buyer is the "Assignment of contract" in deans docs, now any leagal people in this process between me and the seller or between me and the assinee? sorry if this is confusing but i just need to know. and what about any issues on things like mold or on site septics failing or stuff like that.Looking forward to your response

You don't have to put up earnest money, your end buyer does that. You can negotiate the amount and when you pay it. It's ALL negotiable my friend, that's the beauty of investing. It doesn't hurt to ask, all they can say is 'no'. Legal people depend on your state, Arizona uses title companies, other states use lawyers. What works in your state?
Best o' luck! ;D

Elena thanks!

Thank you for your encouraegment again...

We have been working on trying to do assignments...and I think we found a possible deal last night. The owner lost her Mother 3 months ago and is motivated in selling and closing. Homevestors contacted her and offered her an extremely low offer (50%)that she would not except. She told me she was insulted. We think we can possibly buy her house for 30% below FMV. The house needs minor repairs, mainly new carpet. We already put an ad on craigslist for the home looking for investors. The problem with us is we do not have many investors right now. But we think we can get some fast by doing the ad.

Do you have any advice what our next steps should be?
We will look at the house in a couple of days. And make the offer.
We would like to make it contigent on an approved inspection. And also have the buyer pay the earnset money, but were not too sure exactly how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Gary, Jen & Noah...

Gary, Jen & Noah...

Also put contingent upon financing. Call all the we buy ads in the paper and smaller papers like pennysaver. Call for rent ads and ask the landlord if they're looking for anything. Did you also put an ad on backpage? You need to have a few buyers lined up. If you're able to attend an REI meeting go and find investors there. Use Dean's contracts they're great. Hope this helps, best of luck!!!

First Conversation with Investor

Elena, this is a great thread on assignments. When you first talk to your investors that go on your buyer's list what is your first conversation like? Is this after they respond to your ghost ad on Craigslist or backpage?

Also, you said you made $17,000 on one assignment. Wow!!!!! Do you ever get any negative reaction from your end buyer when they see how much you're making on the deal?

We're interested in Wholesaling Properties with Assignments as well. Any one who wants to share insight or experiences we'd love to hear them.

Let me see if I'm getting

Let me see if I'm getting this assigning deal thing right..(Let me know if I'm not right! Smiling)

1. Build a buyer's list.
2. Search for deals based off of what your buyers want.
3. Lock up potential deals with sellers below market value with $50-$100 earnest money(Using the "Agreement to Purchase form").
4. Do a title search.
5. Find a buyer for your contract.
6. Assign the contract to the buyer/investor.
7. Get paid!

Right? So, how do I make sure that I will get paid? And that they won't just take my info and run with it? Laughing out loud

Great advice everyone

thanks for all the info

Found my answer!!

Wholesaling 101

Hello Elena,

I know I am really late. I am a new investor and I had a few questions.
When assigning properties, is a Disclosure Statement necessary? Also you mention the escrow money being paid by the assignee, how is this done? Two more questions. You say to take the signed documents to my title company, what if the seller and assignee use their title company? And is a title company necessary? Thank you for your help in advance.

cash or loan ?

this thread is awesome, I've found so many answers to my questions just by reading this.

However, I think I might be mixing things up, I'd appreciate it if someone can help me out.

1)Are we mainly talking about cash buyer deals?
If not, how do you put an offer down on an FSBO when you will be assigning over to a buyer who needs to either finance it with the seller or get a loan?
[I'm assuming that you would have a cash buyers list and you would only market to them?]

2)If it is an REO deal, will you be dealing with the bank's real estate agent? Would you try to make a cash deal at a certain percentage lower than the FMV as you would for a FSBO or other type of seller?

This is very exciting, I never thought I'd be learning so much and wanting to apply it. I've always been scared of real estate, and intimidated by the idea of the typical schmoozing fast talking deal making persona of real estate investors. I think I watch too much TV!

Great Conversations

Hi girls,

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it great to get in on all the conversations.
I have taken on your verses, all encouraging stuff.

Have a wonderful weekend.

What is the difference betweeen Assignment deals and wholesaling ? I just finished reading your first post and to me it really just sounds like an assignment. Please someone explain to me the difference

Thank you!

Wholesaling and Assignments

This is a great thread. We are using some of the steps described here and in the information from folks like Carol Stinson and Greg Murphy.

Good stuff.

By the way, we met with an owner in a town 30 miles away, did a walk-through of two properties he wants to sell and are working on a proposal to put them in our "basket." It was challenging and exciting.

$500 Earnest Deposit?

I read the question Sully asked about the earnest money deposit out of pocket to lock up a property... Will i need an earnest deposit out of my pocket to lock up a property or can i do without it?

$500 Earnest deposit???

I was reading these posts and i read that Sully asked "you mensioned in your original post that you didn't put down ANY EARNEST MONEY out of pocket, ssooo, how did you "LOCK UP" the property then?"

Well my question is, is Earnest Money Out of My Pocket a must or can the Earnest Money come out of the seller or buyer's pocket?

How do I start wholesaling properties?

I'm brand new to the forum. I do not have great credit and wholesaling was where people suggest I start. So how do I start?

Welcome to DG.com. Have you read Dean's book? I would first suggest you start there to get an idea of how to wholesale. It's basically finding a good deal, locking up the contract and then assigning that contract to an end buyer for a nominal fee. You don't need credit OR cash to do it, you DO need to be a good bird dog and find those deals, or have good bird dogs bringing them to you. If you have bird dogs pay them well, there's a lot of investors out there! Hope this helps you, feel free to come here for help, suggestions, tips AND motivation. Eye-wink

locking up deals

I need Help!
I have located about 250 great forclosure deals(reo's)
My only problem is locking up a deal to assign because every deal I present to my buyers, They have already seen. I've been told that they already have the mls being scoured on a daily basis. Then I've been told they are looking for good off market deals that are out there.
They say"they are out there you just need to look harder"
Besides realtors and mls, where else do I find deals to present?
Now my buyers are giving up on me because I haven't been able to give them anything.
At first, 2 or 3 were E-mailing me asking where are the deals? Now they don't even ask or E-mail me any more. They treat me like the boy who cried wolf.
I have also been working with a couple of FSBO's but I can't get them cheap enough to interest my buyers. I am getting very discouraged.
Even if I am able to find a deal? how am I supposed to lock it up with no money? Now I am hearing stuff about promisary notes or iou's for earnest money until you can get it from the buyer. I'm just getting more and more confused and discoueaged.
I am not a quitter, I just need tips on finding a deal and locking it up without having money. Is it REALLY even POSSIBLE?
I know for a fact that if I can get just one good deal locked up on contract, I can assign it.
Now I'm reading all about certain formulas to follow to assure the buyers will find it to be an attractive deal and that all makes good sense. So I know what I need to find I just need to know where to look and how to lock it up.
I guess if it were that easy, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't be worth it , HUH???

Did you read?

Have you read any of Dean's books? What *have* you done as far as educating yourself with this? You must be doing something wrong, I would suggest reading at least one of Dean's books, and then read it again. Then, search through all of this site. There is TONS of information here at your disposal, and for *free*.

I will try to help, but you may not like what you hear.
First of all, from reading a couple of your posts, you have not done enough study, reading and learning. You don't have a clue. Here are a few things I think you need to do or learn about.
1. REOs are not assignable 99% of the time. How can you get a REO under contract? You will need a POF letter and copy of your earnest money check to make an offer. If its accepted you usually have 48 hours to supply the actual earnest money, sometimes in certified funds. How can you overcome this bump in the road?
2. No buyer is going to buy a property from you that was listed on the MLS unless you have it under CONTRACT for a lot less that it was listed on the MLS for!
3. Learn how to control properties yourself, showing buyers properties that are listed and you do not have a contract on is a waste of time.
4. Realtors and the MLS are only one source, in fact, I only use them for REO offers. Dean's books go through multiple strategies on marketing to motivated unlisted sellers. Pre foreclosure, probate, absentee owners, tired landlords, expired listings, divorce, job loss, illness and need to move are only some of the areas you can research and market to.
5. Do you belong to a REI club and attend their meetings?
6. When dealing with a distressed home owner, you can lock up a deal with as little as $10. I just did a $10,000 assignment deal that I put down $100 as earnest money.
7. You state you have done everything you need to do but you are mistaken. You have not done the most difficult part of this business. Learning where and how to find a REAL deal. How to evaluate it, get it under contract and make a professional presentation to your buyers. Right know they don't want to talk to you because you have brought them nothing.
8. It is time to study, read, study, go to every REI meeting and event you can find, meet people actually doing business in your area, learn how to determine what a house will actually sell for today, what rehab costs are, how to get properties under contract, get out and make offers, follow up on your offers ETC ETC. You have not even scratched the surface of what you need to learn and do!!
9. Quit whining and take action. HELP YOURSELF!! No one can do this for you or show you the magic button (there is not one)You must get out there in the real world and learn this stuff. Sure you will make mistakes and say dumb things, we all have!! Take action and use everything as a learning experience and don't repeat your mistakes.
10. Never stop learning.

The flipping/assigning dilemma

The key to this process is finding properties at very low prices and getting them under control. Then if the buyer is really, really interested in that particular property you have some leverage.

Another alternative is to find the real nuggets - homes that are not listed and have no for sale sign attached yet.

If you can gain control of these properties you have some bargaining power.

One more key - numbers - 25 or 30 possible acquisitions to make one or two deals.

Letter To Me

I’m 42 and I still don’t have a clue.
I don’t have a goal.
I don’t even have a motto in life.
I really don’t.
I can’t say that I’m lost, though.
I got enough money stashed somewhere.
I have a job that I don’t hate.
I travel around the world.
I don’t feel empty.
But I don’t know why I’m here.
Do I have a purpose?
What motivates me?
I am at my happiest now.
Yet somehow I feel undeserving.
A woman, I met, changed me.
In a lot of ways, she changed me.
She changed my life.
I may not know a lot about stuff.
But I do know that I am appreciative.
I am grateful for life.
I am grateful to be alive.
I am grateful to her.
Still I wonder.
Do I deserve happiness?
Do I deserve her?

It’s weird, huh? That’s not a typo.  You read that right.

Raft3r.  Marriage.  In one sentence.  Apparently, miracles do happen.

This pretty much puts an end to the adventures of the single guy.

On February 16, 2019, I will be saying “I do” to the most awesome girl on the planet.  This will take place in scenic Batanes.

For years, I have ranted about commitment and relationships.  Wanna relive them?  Read here.

How I fell in love is a whole other story.  That will be told on our wedding day.  Be there.

Island Of Desire

Who knew this day would come?

One of Raft3r’s writings has found its way to the top news website in the Philippines! This is probably the closest thing I’ll ever get to being published.

Full and unedited text is below.

Online article, on the other hand, appears here.

Confucius said it best: Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. I adhere to his philosophy.

My job has taken me all over the Philippines, most states in America and even to some remote parts of the Pacific like the Marshall Islands. Yup, I’m one lucky bastard.

To say that I love my job would be an understatement. Getting paid to travel is every adventure seeker’s fantasy. The travel bug in me screams in delight every time a new assignment is given.

Recently I went to Siquijor with my American boss.

Ah, just the mere mention of its name can send shivers down the spine of many. I’m not one of them though. Being a huge fan of horror movies and all things scary, I immediately welcomed the opportunity to visit a place known for black magic and the supernatural. Besides, getting lost in a mystical island with a foreigner would make an excellent bedtime story for my future grandchildren.

I heard so many cool things about Siquijor: pristine beaches, the enchanted Balete tree, waterfalls. I was excited to see them all.

The most thrilling part, of course, is the so-called dark side of Siquijor. After all, it wasn’t called “Island of Fire” by the Spanish colonizers for nothing. I wanted an encounter with the occult. I knew it was a business trip but I still wanted to satisfy my craving for an adventure with the unknown. I was excited as hell.

To get there, we traveled by air (Manila to Dumaguete), sea (Dumaguete to Siquijor), and land (Siquijor Pier to Coco Grove). Pretty cool, huh? The private yacht was just an icing on the cake.

When we finally docked in Siquijor, we were immediately captivated by its beauty. Just look at the majestic scenery that greeted us. It took us almost a half a day of traveling but it was worth it.

Prior to the trip, my dad and a few acquaintances kept warning me against accepting food and drinks from strangers while in Siquijor. I don’t know if the warning was because of my insatiable appetite or the fact that people still think that Siquijor is one big spooky place.

Beware of the mambabarang (local voodoo doctor), so they say. I certainly did not heed their warning. In fact, I came looking for the mambabarangs of Siquijor. I was on a prowl.

Our driver cum local tour guide was quick to say that voodoo is no longer practiced in Siquijor. That bummed me out, big time. He went on to say how the young Siquijonons are not interested in black magic and the supernatural. Kids are now more fascinated with modern technology. I mean who can blame them? Texting is awesome. Yes, I am being sarcastic.

Without the mambabarang, we settled for the next big thing. Our tour guide took us to a healer with the American as the willing victim. The healer was a young lady in her early twenties. She claimed her gift of healing was inherited from her lolo (grandfather). Healer asked which part of the American’s body needed some fine tuning. “The back,” said the latter.

Armed with warm water, a bottle, a straw, and a mysterious black stone, the healer began to work her magic on my boss. She started rubbing the bottle with warm water against the American’s back. This went on for about five minutes.

The American looked very uneasy. At that point, I was just glad I wasn’t the volunteer. I had the entire ordeal videotaped. I kinda figured it would be good to use for blackmail, at some point in time.

When it was all over, I asked my boss how the experience was. The American said it felt more like massage than a healing.

There goes your black magic.

It Could Happen To You

FACT: I have been a loyal Globe postpaid subscriber for the past 12 years.

FACT: Globe’s customer service sucks BIG TIME. Read this.

FACT: Globe once gave me a second hand mobile phone under their loyalty rewards program.

FACT: Globe failed to deliver my iPhone 3G because they don’t know where the US Embassy is located.

FACT: I don’t recall any Globe mishap with my iPhone 3GS. But I had that phone for only a very short period of time.

FACT: I waited for almost 6 hours in Globe Park Square 1 to get my iPhone 4.

FACT: For the iPhone 4S, Globe gave me 2 claim stubs - both for the same day but different pickup centers. When I called their hotline, they couldn’t confirm which claim stub was valid.

FACT: Globe has already introduced 4G technology when it hasn’t even addressed several 3G loopholes.

FACT: Globe gave me a claim stub for the iPhone 5 in a mall in Davao.

Soldiers of the Great War

Soldiers of the Great War, published in 1920 and compiled by William Mitchell Haulsee, Frank George Howe and Alfred Cyril Doyle, was an official attempt to identify with photographs all of the members of the U.S. armed forces who gave their lives in World War I.  Searching for an individual in the 1920 book is difficult, since there is no table of contents or index, and individuals are not shown in alphabetical order

Ned Benton, a Larchmont Historical Society member, scanned, indexed and posted online all pages of the book that include fallen soldiers  from New York State, which makes it easier to find images of local individuals.

Using the Search Tool to Locate Individuals

The images are stored and displayed in the Larchmont Historical Society’s digital Photo Archive, which can be searched by the soldier’s name – example “Jones” –  or residence at time of joining military service – example “Albany.”

The search text field is in the sidebar menu next to this page.

All corresponding records will come up. These will appear as scans of pages from Soldiers of the Great War. Clicking on any small image of a page brings up a full-page display. Each photograph contains the name, community, and cause of death or injury:

K.A. Killed in action
D.D. Died of Disease
D.W. Died of Wounds
D.A. Died of Accident
W.A. Wounded in Action

The scanned pages may be downloaded at no cost. See Download a Page for a list of pages and instructions.

Limitations of the Soldiers of the Great War: Additional Search Strategies

Completeness: Please note that Soldiers of the Great War does not include all names and pictures of fallen soldiers in World War I. As described in the book’s introduction:

“We soon learned it would be impossible to obtain the photographs of all the soldiers who died in the great war. Many left no photographs, the relatives of many others were reluctant to part with the picture they had, and in some cases conditions were met most unfavorable to the enterprise, but with an abiding faith in the value of this record to the relatives and friends of the departed soldiers, and to the public as a historical record, the association continued its labors with an increasing degree of success. The collection of materials continued for the period of over one year, during which time they were made ready for publication.” (For more, see Author’s Introduction (1920)

Hometown vs Residence at Enrollment: Please note that the soldiers’ communities, as listed in Soldiers of the Great War, are where they were living when they joined the military, which may not be where they grew up or are memorialized.  Thus searching here only by residence may miss some individuals whose photos are in the archives. If you have a list of names from a community’s memorial, a search by name may bring up the missing images.

Watch those hands: sending energy healing

Lucy crystal classIs it ethical to send energy healing to a person or animal without their permission? This is a very sensitive topic for some healers. No matter where you look these days, you will encounter stories of people and animals who are suffering, hurt, in harms way or passing.

It is natural for a healer to want to send healing during times of suffering. This is a compassionate, empathetic response that is normal. Good intentions are admirable and much needed in this world. But it is important to look to your energy healing training on any ethical guidelines that you received. For most modalities, permission from the energy healing recipient is required. It is actually considered a violation of our ethical standards to send healing to anyone (person or animal) without permission. Why? A doctor, accountant, or other professional would not provide a service without permission, right? The same goes true for energy workers. But most important, the energy that you send could end up interfering with any healing work that they may already be doing and may not be in the person or animal’s highest good.

So how do you ask permission?

  • If the person is with you, just ask!
  • If the person is at a distance and you can contact them, ask for permission!
  • If the person is at a distance and you do not know them to ask permission, meditate and quiet your mind, look at their photo (if you have one) and mentally send them a question asking if they would welcome some healing energy. The first thing that comes to mind is their answer. If the answer is no, it must be respected. But you can certainly ask again another time.
  • If it is an animal that is with you, follow the same procedure above. Quiet yourself, sit with the animal, ask them (out loud or in your mind) if they would welcome healing. Listen for an intuitive answer or watch to see if they move towards you. If they move away or give a clear signal that they do not want healing, always respect it and stop. You can always try again later. Never ever force energy healing on an animal … that is absolutely an ethical no no!
  • If the animal is at a distance or you do not know, quiet your mind, focus on their photo (if you have one) and follow the same procedure above to see if you get an intuitive answer. Only if you get a signal to proceed should you offer healing.
  • If any any point you do not get a clear answer or are uncertain, be cautious and do not send healing.

In some modalities, such as Integrated Energy Therapy (an angelic healing), you can send healing without permission and the energy will be stored for the person or animal and when they are ready to receive it, that is when it will arrive for them. Permission for energy healing

We all want to help and it can be heartbreaking to watch others in pain. But we must avoid sending energy when it’s not welcomed. So before you activate that glorious healing, stop, ask permission, and only send if you receive a clear verbal, physical, or intuitive message to proceed.

Happy Healing!

Why do we wait until all else fails?

Which camp do you fall into:

(1) I have never tried any natural healing method;
(2) I tried natural healing after traditional medical methods failed; or
(3) I found natural healing methods before I felt ill or too stressed and it is now a part of my life.

Natural healing means any modality that typically does not include pharmaceuticals, surgery or invasive procedures (such as chemotherapy). It can include acupuncture, affirmations, crystal energy, energy healing, essential oils, exercise, herbal supplements, meditation, yoga, and more to help balance the body/mind/spirit. Natural healing js complimentary and works alongside traditional medicine.

So let’s back to the questions above. If you fall into Camp #3, good for you! When you embrace natural healing, you may prevent a serious ailment and may find that you are more balanced to handle the stress of everyday living. When you take a break from natural healing (due to travel, or over working) that is when you usually notice that you feel worse. That has certainly happened to me. That’s when you know that it is working.

If you fall into Camp #2, do you wish that you had found natural healing before something happened? I meet too many people and pet owners who wish they had found natural healing before it was too late. Too often the ailment has progressed too far to turn the situation around. Natural healing at that point simply provides comfort and relaxation.

What if you fall into Camp #1? What is stopping you from trying a natural method to keep you healthy and well? Here are a few reasons that I have heard over the years:

  • Insurance won’t pay for it. Most insurance does not cover natural healing right now, but the more people that are using it, the more likely that could change. When you invest upfront in your health, you spend less on medicine and doctor’s visits in the long run. And when you can replace some or all of your medicine cabinet with natural remedies, you may find that you save money too.
  • I want scientific proof that it works. There is a growing body of research supporting natural healing methods. But I often wonder who first decided that we should have proof that something works? Why would we allow a complete stranger to tell us that something works (that’s giving away our free will). Our ancestors did not need federally-funded National Institutes of Health studies over a 10 year period telling us that meditation reduces stress. So take a leap of faith and believe that something without requiring proof (and you will be pleasantly surprised then when it does work).
  • How do I know it will work? Well, it won’t work if you do not believe or even try it, right? And with traditional medicine, there is no guarantee that it will work either.

We live in a world filled with toxins, pollution, chemicals, technology, and depleting natural resources. We are surrounded by junk that our bodies were not built to defend against. It’s easy to enter the blame game and point fingers at the government, big industry and others for our failing health. But our health is solely in our own hands. Now instead, imagine that you begin to flood your body and mind with natural remedies: meditation to relax the mind; Reiki to relax the body; essential oils to penetrate the cells, awaken and soothe the senses; acupuncture to release energy blockages; yoga to gently energize the body, and so on. Now how does that feel?

We are all responsible for our own health. Limiting your options or intentionally putting on blinders to something “new” or “different” will only harm you.

Just one more question …. what are you waiting for?

Natural Balance Foods

I am so excited today! Last week I was checking my email and had an email from Natural Balance Foods ( I love nak’d bars (especially cocoa loco, apple pie, gluten-free gingerbread and gluten-free cocoa orange) and more recently discovered trek bars; the peanut trek bars are amazing (and great as pre or post run snack)! Plus the website does free delivery- bonus!

 Anyway, I was trying to decide whether to order some more when I noticed they had an easter egg hunt. You had to look on the website for 3 different coloured Easter eggs hidden all around, and after a lot of browsing I found all three. I emailed them with the locations, and found out today that I have won! I am so excited! I do not think I have ever won anything before! I cannot wait to receive my goodies as the food they make is soooooo lovely.

If you have never had one before I urge you to try (on the website they do a little trial pack of all 4 gluten free bars for £3 I think, and you can get them in Boots, Tescos, Sainsburys and Morrisons). They are made of dried fruit, nuts and spices, the non gluten-free ones also have oats, they all have no added sugars or syrups or vegetable oils or anything else weird that is normally in cereal bars. A small bar is 100-160 cals, and a larger one is around 220 cals, so not bad compared to other less filling and less natural cereal bars.

The Trek bars are either bars or flapjacks, and again have much better ingredients than a “normal” shop bought flapjack, around 230 cals per (big 70g ish) bar. I love the peanut trek bars as they have peanut butter in them and are sooo tasty; moist and a bit chewy, filling and also delicious. Yum. If I wasn’t already full I would have one now! I may well take a photo the next time I have one just so you can see too.

I am so excited about winning! I will take a picture once it arrives! Hooray!

Rachel Allen’s Chocolate Cake

Rachel Allen is one of my all time favourite chefs. I have most of her books (Bake
of course being the most-used one!) and also love watching her TV shows. This afternoon I have made the chocolate cake from her Bake book. It seems like a fairly rich cake, with melted chocolate incorporated into the mixture (more like a cross between a brownie and a cake which can only make things better if you ask me!).

It didn’t take too long to make the mixture, and it only baked for 25 minutes (not bad for a big cake- well a cake baked in two tins).

Last time I made butter icing by hand, which was rather hard, so this time I am cracking out the hand-held electric whisk to make it nice and smooth. I also had some mini eggs left over from Easter to decorate! The icing went ok (I had to use 1tbs milk as I didn’t have cream and it seems a waste anyway to buy a pot of cream only to use a tiny amount)- lovely and smooth by the time it was ready. I used Green and Blacks cocoa powder which is so rich and chocolatey- I am sure using this makes a difference (plus it’s fair-trade- bonus). I put the eggs on top, and then (using my brand new mini grater) grated over some white chocolate. It looks so pretty (even if I do say so myself). After dinner no doubt I will be sampling it (the 9 mile run will be worth it I am sure!).

A lovely run in the sun

I managed to get out today for a lovely run. Due to various things I missed my midweek run, so the last run was that hard 4 mile slog on Monday. I have worked out the length of all my long runs leading up to my half marathon, and today was 9 miles. After a lovely breakfast (Dorset cereals simply delicious muesli – it is indeed delicious- and half a banana) I planned my route on and then headed out the door. The weather was lovely; it was quite breezy which is usually nice as it cools you down, it was also a little bit overcast to begin with but about half way round the sun came out and it was lovely. This time of year is such a nice time to run; there is blossom on the trees, daffodils by the roads, plus I pass a lot of people (walking dogs/ cycling/ walking/ running) and people are always much more friendly when the weather is good. Lots of “hellos” today!
When I got home I had the other half of my banana and a lovely nak’d Apple Pie bar (they are soooooo tasty- full of cinnamon and apple and other good stuff!) plus lots and lots of water!
Later on this afternoon I am going to make a chocolate birthday cake- I will try to remember to take a picture.

Yummy nibbles from Graze

I am looking forward to my Graze box coming this week. I signed up to this a while ago and now have a box every fortnight. I love the range of nuts and dried fruit that they have (check out the website- they do so many yummy mixes- a personal fave of mine is “dark rocky road” which is a mix of pecans, dried cranberries and dark chocolate buttons- heaven!). If I bought the same ingredients on my own I think I would get bored before I ate the whole pack (plus to get the variety I would end up with an overflowing cupboard looking like a shelf from Julian Graves or something!). I often have a pack (or share one) after a run as they make a good snack (in my opinion); the mix of nuts (protein to repair muscles) and dried fruit (sugary carbs to replace the lost energy) make me feel better especially after a long run. The other week I had a punnet called “tropical praline” with dried mango, mini chocolate coated hazelnuts and green raisins (which tasted fairly similar to normal raisins but still very tasty!).

Their customer service is also great; I have emailed them several times and they reply very quickly and always sort any issues out really well. If you want to try it for yourself you can go to and enter code KKJX34J at the checkout and get yourself a free box and your next box half price (and then you can cancel if you don’t want any more).

Beginner runners

Beginners starting out

So while on my run yesterday I got to thinking about when I first started out running. Just under 2 years ago I signed up to do the Race for Life, and decided that for myself I wanted to run it. I had done it before and walked the course, raised money and so on. But for myself I wanted to see if I could run it, having never been a runner before. I am sure I am similar to many other runners in that I didn’t like PE at school (although I was active, doing cycling, tennis, walking and swimming with my family and friends); I even walked the cross country when I was 11 as I found running so hard. At secondary school I was the person who “filled in” at sports day and did the ones that no-one wanted to do (shot put anyone?). I am not including this for sympathy or anything like that, just to show you where I started really. I followed a training plan which I cut out from a magazine (not even sure which magazine, Zest maybe) and followed it to the day. It involved 3 runs every week, and I stuck to the plan to the letter, getting up at 6am some days to have a run before going to work if I knew I could not fit it in the evening. Each week the first run would be hard (the first plan was to run for one minute and walk for 1.5, and by the end of the first minute of running I was gasping for breath- I have since learnt to pace myself!), the second one would be ok as I knew what to expect, and the third run would be great as I would know for sure that I would be able to complete it. Then the following week I would worry about not achieving the new distance, and be so proud of myself when each week I would manage it. I had given myself a few extra weeks so that if I needed to repeat a week then I would have the time, but in fact the training plan was great and to my amazement I made it. I was so proud of myself for completing the 5K (3.1 mile course) in around 35 minutes without walking once!
I did think that I would train for the race, do the race and then stop. But I had found that I really enjoyed running! I loved to load songs onto my mp3 player and head off with music to listen to, and my thoughts all to myself. I kept up running all through the winter, and now cannot imagine not getting outside and enjoying the fresh air.

For anyone that is tempted to start running I would say go for it (with Doctors permission etc)!
Below is a simplified version of the training plan that I followed:

Each week do 3 runs.
Week 1 Run for 1 min, walk for 90 seconds 8 times = 20 minutes
Week 2 Run for 2 minutes, walk for 90 seconds 7 times = 24.5 minutes
Week 3 Run for 3 minutes, walk for 90 seconds 6 times = 27 minutes
Week 4 Run for 5 minutes, walk for 90 seconds 4 times = 26 minutes
Week 5 Run for 5 minutes, walk for 1 minute 4 times = 24 minutes
Week 6 Run for 8 minutes, walk for 90 seconds 3 times = 28.5 minutes
Week 7 Run for 10 minutes, walk for 1 minute 3 times = 33 minutes
Week 8 Run for 15 minutes, walk for 1 minute 2 times = 23 minutes
Now you are ready to run a 5k race!!!

Rotator Cuff Stabilization

I really like this video of an easy exercise that provides stabilization and centration to the humeral head. What do you think?

Let’s create world peace one shoulder at a time!

The Slippery Subscap – Palpation Tip

Subscap can be a tricky muscle to work with. In my workshops I’ve discovered that approximately 80% of therapists thought they were on subscap, but were on latissimus dorsi/teres major. It’s an easy mistake to make and easily correctable. The reason for this common error is that therapists attempt to enter subscap too far inferiorly. If you do that the ribs will block you and you will mistake the fat lat for subscap. Watch this video for a “out-of-the-box” palpation tip. Also, for those of you who are ABMP members, check out my article, “The Slippery Subscap” in the January 2020 issue of Massage and Bodywork Quarterly. As a thank you to my wonderful readers, I’m offering a $25.00 discount on my Releasing the Rotator Cuff package (book and DVD) – your price only $40.90.

Iliopsoas anatomy: Amazing 3D video

I love this exceptional video and show it in my Releasing the Iliopsoas workshops. The Claude Bernard University University in Lyon, France has gifted the world with their fabulous array of anatomy videos. You can really go down the YouTube hole watching all of them!

There are some things I would add: the iliopsoas’s job as a stabilizer of the pelvis and low back; its role in centrating the head of the femur in the acetabulum; and that the upper psoas fibers create lumbar flexion while the lower fibers create lumbar extension.

Here’s the You Tube link – there’s lots more videos from this fantastic project of the Claude Bernard University University in France. Enjoy!

This is a bit of a departure for me since I usually write about techniques. But we need clients to do those techniques on! I’m knee deep in a brand new venture, “How to Create a Waiting-List Practice” which is being beta-tested right now. Here’s an excerpt from the training manual.

Recently I had a “sales” conversation. It was a serendipitous chance encounter with an acquaintance of mine at the gym. I was having a knee issue and my PT suggested I use the stationary bike instead of the treadmill. On the bike next to me was a man I know socially. We struck up a conversation. I said that I don’t really like the bike but I was obeying my PT. Commiserating with me, my acquaintance said that he thought he had a rotator cuff injury.

I asked him to tell me more about his symptoms. He did. I then asked him some direct questions: “How is this impacting your daily life? and “What is the one thing you’d like to be able to do that you can’t”. I gathered information.

After hearing his answers I concluded we were a good fit. I explained that I was a massage therapist and specialized in rotator cuff injuries. He jumped on it and asked if I had any openings that day. One of my clients had canceled so I was able to fit him in. He bought a package that day!

Notice that I listened deeply before I ever mentioned I was a massage therapist and have a strong skill set in treating rotator cuff injuries.

Below is a guideline to effective communication to prospective clients. This heart-centered approach is a perfect match for LMTs! (Adapted from Tommi Wolfe’s Top Business Coach Training.)

  • Mindset: Approach the conversation with a spirit of partnership and wanting to help your potential client. You are the professional. You are there to help your client, not to sell. You are not there to be tested, to be affirmed, or to offer a “try before buy” session.
  • Listen: Spend ten minutes deeply listening to understand the prospect’s situation before you even dream of talking about what you can do for your prospect.
  • The Gap: this is critical! You need to help your clients see their problems and what is not working. This is probably the most important step because if they see the gap and know you are the solution the rest is easy. So many people walk around for years with limited range of movement and pain and never seek treatment. Ask questions like: “How is this impacting your daily life?”; “How is your sleep – are you able to get enough rest?”; “What is the one thing you’d like to be able to do that you can’t”; “How long have you had this condition?”.
  • Imagine: Turn the conversation to an upbeat, positive place. Help the prospect envision how awesome their life will be after their injury/issue has been addressed: “Tell me what your life would look like if you were pain free and full range of movement.”
  • Can you help?: Be honest with yourself. Is this someone you can help? If you can’t let them know.
  • If you can help: Tell them, “I think we are a good fit. When would be a good time to get started? I have openings (suggest some dates/times). Then be quiet!!!!
  • Remember: this is NOT about you and whether you are good enough. It is about the prospect and whether they are ready to make the investment. This mentality will help you stay detached and not pursue. You will stay powerful.

Super Simple (and fun) Guide to Increase Range of Motion

I’ve had the honor and privilege of teaching creative movement and writing in women’s prisons for the last twelve years. (Wondering what this has to do with massage therapy? Read on!)

One of the units I volunteer in is the Female Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP). Yes, there are female sex offenders. When I first learned about SOTP I was immediately drawn to facilitate workshops there.

I approached the program director and she loved the idea. Since most Texas prisons have a strict “No Touch” policy, The SOTP program is strictly cognitive based therapy. The program director knows that these women hold tremendous trauma in their bodies and fervently believes that creative movement classes allow their bodies to speak. . (Nearly 100% of female offenders have been sexually abused in childhood.)

I always start my classes with fun icebreaker exercises. I put on some fabulous African drumming music and have them write their name with their tail bones, their belly buttons, elbows, nose, chin – anybody part will do! Before long, everyone is smiling and laughing and magic is happening behind bars.

Create some magic in your office/clinic! Encourage your clients and yourself to move in novel ways like I described above. The body loves circular and spiral movement which stimulates different parts of the brain and gets us out of linear, sagittal plane movement. When we move in a variety of ways different parts of our nervous system are stimulated, giving us a new sense of ourselves, a fresh identity.

I regularly suggest to my clients to put on their favorite music and imagine there’s a paint brush attached to the body part we’re working with and do the following:

  1. Rotator cuff/shoulder injuries: write your name in script with your elbow. Bend elbow and Place fingers lightly on shoulder. For those with limited ROM, start in the pain free range (example 30 degrees of abduction).
  2. Neck: write your name in script with your chin and top of head.
  3. Hips/lower back: write your name in script with your belly button and tail bone.

  • Stay in the pain-free range until the body feels ready to perform the movements with more volume
  • If it hurts, make it smaller. Micro-movements are a great start.
  • It should feel good and be fun!

  • Increases range of motion
  • Introduces novel sensations in the body
  • Increases proprioception
  • Releases endorphins
  • A wonderful alternative to traditional exercises

Super Easy Guide to When NOT to stretch your clients!

As passionate as I am about the value of skilled stretching, I’m equally zealous about when NOT to stretch. A common misconception in the bodywork, fitness and yoga fields is “All muscles should be stretched”. Let’s put that to rest right now. All muscles do not need to be stretched.

One of my clients came in last week with severe rhomboid/middle trap pain on her left side. When I asked her about what she thought caused it, here’s what she told me:

“My mother gave me a gift certificate for a relaxation massage which I used last week. The therapist had just taken a Thai*massage course and wanted to do some stretches before the massage. She did one where she pulled my arms away and across my body, one at a time. When she did my left, I could feel something give and it started hurting about an hour after the massage. I could kick myself for letting her stretch me!” (*I am not dissing Thai massage! I love it and get them often.)

This client is quite savvy and educated about her body. She has weakness in her left scapulae retractors (rhomboid/middle traps) because of an old shoulder injury. She manages it with regular bodywork and carefully chosen stretching and strengthening exercises. Her scapulae retractors do not need stretching. Most people’s do not. Most of the time they need strengthening.

Let’s take a brief and general look at postural and phasic muscles:

Postural muscles: also known as tonic or local muscles have an anti-gravity function – they are heavily involved in the maintenance of posture. They tend to be shortened and tightened. Another way of saying that is they tend to be overly-activated.

Phasic muscles: also known as global muscles have primarily a movement role. They are usually more superficial than postural muscles. A shortened, tight postural muscle generally results in inhibition of its associated phasic muscle which becomes weakened as a result. Think pec major and rhomboids.

Let me emphasize that this chart is a general guideline of common muscles that usually benefit from stretching (postural) and those that do not (phasic). Like everything in life thee are exceptions.

You’ll notice infraspinatus is considered a postural muscle because it’s part of the rotator cuff –a stabilizing structure. Infraspinatus is notorious for being weak, inhibited and locked-long. It rarely needs stretching. You’ll notice I do not include a stretch for it in Stretch Your Clients.

Another example is the cervical extensors. With everyone on their devices these days, do those extensors really needs stretching?

I hope this article helps you make informed decisions when to stretch and when not to stretch. Let me know what you think!

The proper way to cough!

I was teaching a Stabilizing the Core and SI Joint seminar recently and learned a valuable cue from a pelvic floor specialist. In the MET correction for and upslipped innominate (when the ilium slips out of the SI joint), the client is asked to perform a hip-hike for eight seconds and cough and let go of the hip-hike. Why the cough? Good question! There are a few reasons: coughing activates the pelvic floor muscles, the transverse abdominis, the anterior multifidi, the diaphragm and the attachment of the quadratus lumborum to the 12th rib. The QL stabilizes the 12th rib during forced exhalations, such as coughing and sneezing. Ever had a client with low back spasms say “I bent over and sneezed!”?

The pelvic floor specialist noticed that the model’s belly pushed out when she coughed. Allowing the belly to push out weakens the pelvic floor and abdominal group. She suggested to cue clients that when they cough the belly should go in towards the spine to properly activate all the core muscles.

This is one thing I love about teaching for PESI REHAB – the interaction with professionals from other disciplines.

Hope this is useful!

Massage therapists and physical therapists come together!

Just back from an amazing teaching tour in freezing Michigan. One big thing I love about teaching for Pesi is the community that is formed from having PT’s and LMT’S in the same class. A gap is bridged, community is formed and we have more in common than we thought!

True story – I was teaching my Releasing the Iliopsoas seminar several years ago in Baltimore. An occupational therapist approached me at lunch and told me the following story. Several years ago she had severely injured her low back during a transfer of a patient. She had back surgery, which didn’t help much. She could not sit for more than five minutes for over two years.

For over two years she went from doctor to doctor searching for an answer to her chronic pain. Finally, in desperation, she went to a massage therapist, who immediately zeroed in on her iliopsoas. That night she was able to have dinner with her family for the first time in two years! She went on to get her massage license and still is a practicing OT.

Finding Your Body’s Mind

Finding Your Body’s Mind

By Peggy Lamb, MA, LMT, BCTMB

“The mind is like the wind; the body is like the sand. If you want to know which way the wind is blowing, watch the sand.” (Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen)

Even when we are still, we are moving. Blood circulates, lymph flows, the heart beats, stomach juices swirl, cerebral spinal fluid pulses, cells migrate, rib case and lungs expand and contract. There is a universe of silent movement occurring inside us every second. There is no conscious effort to these movements. We do not have to decide to digest my food. If we eat something our digestive systems, governed by our brain, takes care of it.

In contrast to these involuntary movements are the movements we decide to do, or voluntary movements. Voluntary movement is active; it requires consciousness, intent and will. When we decide to brush our teeth we must first have the intent and the will to perform that activity before we can reach out with our hand to grasp the toothbrush, put toothpaste on the brush and bring it to our mouths.

Like all positives though, there is an inherent negative in this advantage. If I am thinking about my idea for a new dance or planning my day while I’m brushing my teeth, I cut myself off from much of the sensory information I am receiving from my movement. The skin, joints and muscles have sensory receptors that telegraph information to my brain about pressure, pain and the position of my body, among other things. These sensory receptors, our proprioceptors, are the internal eyes of the body. They transmit a continuous sensory flow from the movable parts of my body and have been called our secret sense.

In his book “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat”, the late, great Oliver Sacks tells the story of Christina, “The Disembodied Lady”. Christina lost all proprioception through a rare nerve disease. In her despair she once cried to Dr. Sacks: “If only I could feel! But I’ve forgotten what it’s like. It’s like something’s been scooped out of me, right at the center ..”
In a most fundamental and profound way my proprioceptors let me know that I exist for they allow me to “feel myself”. In fact, Dr. Sacks states in his marvelous book, “A Leg To Stand On”, “…. if Descartes only knew about proprioception, this mind-body split would never have happened.”

Movement activates our proprioceptors and it is the feel of our movement that offers us a view into our body’s mind. Increased awareness of our movement and postural patterns comes from attending to our sensory systems. We can use this wonderful and exquisite sensory system to enhance and deepen our ability to find and communicate with our body’s mind.

I believe that my mission as a bodyworker is two-fold: to perform manual techniques that reestablish function and relieves pain and to facilitate my clients “re-membering” their bodies through simple movement exercises that use visualizations and images that directly communicate with the central nervous system. These exercises are designed to restore proprioception, hydrate tissue and increase kinesthetic awareness, allowing the person to reclaim forgotten body parts.

Using sensations and images is a more direct, powerful, pleasurable and playful way of communicating with our bodies. Our nervous system has a beautiful and innate wisdom and if given the chance, it will engage the best neuromuscular pathway to produce my movement goal. This manner of communicating allows me to engage myself fully and change habitual patterns from the inside out.

One of my favorite exercises to give is “Write your name with your tailbone!” The pelvis needs and wants circular and spiral movement but too often all it gets is sagitally based movement. I give this exercise as homework to all my clients because I believe that restoring awareness of the pelvic girdle is a key component in healing most injuries and chronic conditions.

Do it yourself many times before teaching it to a client. When you’re ready to teach it to a client, I promise you, even the most resistant client will have a smile on their face when they have done this silly, slightly zany exercise.

1. Pick out your favorite music (this is super important since music activates our sensory system)
2. Stand with your feet hip width apart or slightly wider.
3. Have a generous bend to your knees
4. Imagine a paint brush growing out of your tailbone with the brush side down facing the floor.
5. Write your first and last names with your tailbone in script. Cross your T’s and dot your I’s! do it at least three times.
6. Have fun!

I’ve taught this exercise to many different populations including people with Parkinson’s disease and incarcerated women (it’s a BIT hit there and I dream of a class where I teach the warden and the guards!)

For those clients who can’t stand, not a problem. I’ve taught variations of this exercise this in nursing homes to wheelchair bound populations and to clients lying in supine. For those people I ask them to imagine their tailbone is covered in their favorite color and to draw tiny circles with it. Create your own versions. It’s all about reconnecting with the core of our body, the core of the matter.

I currently have a client who has a right frozen shoulder and a bulging disc that sends pain and tingling/numbness down her right leg and foot. By her own admission she says “I got so caught up in writing my book I forgot I had a body.” She loves doing the tailbone dance and it brings her temporary relief from tingling/numbness down her right leg and foot.

Why do negative harmonies sound worse?

Music theorists have worked for hundreds of years on what constitutes harmonious music. This theory helps explain why smashing your fists on a piano will not sound nice, but pressing the black keys in any given order will.

They discovered that we can group note-relationships into different scales. Our culture determines the way we perceive those scales. Western culture perceives the Minor-scale as sad and Major-scale happy. Rampant overuse of the Double harmonic scale in movie-scores for scenes that are set in the middle-east, has turned it foreign and scary. Likewise, a movie about feudal Japan is not complete without a Hirajoshi Scale.

So what happens if we change a song’s key rewrite a song from one scale to another? If we change a song’s key from major to minor, does it become sad? Kinda. Unfortunately there is no algorithm we can apply to change a songs key without creating disharmony that breaks the music theorists rules for what constitutes harmonious music. We are forced to change some notes to make it abide by these laws. The resulting music tends to adopt the qualities of whatever scale you rewrote it in. A song rewritten to the minor key becomes sad and vice-versa.

There is another algorithm we can consistently apply to any harmony which does not result in any broken rules. An explanation of the algorithm can be found here.

If the original music was harmonious, the negative harmony will always be as well. But weirdly enough, it never sounds as good. Why is that?  What is the quality that the original harmony possessed, which its negative harmony does not?

To give an example of this, Stairway to heaven’s negative harmony, is bland and forgettable, whereas the original is widely regarded as one of the best pieces of music ever written. What changed that made the song lose its beauty?

Wherein lies the magic that makes a song go from merely harmonious, to beautiful?

Joanne Tallarovic taught a class to the Las Vegas Fiber Arts  Guild on September 16-18, 2011 on Rep Weave.  I told Joanne that I would make a doll and dress her in the fabric that I  wove using the techniques that I learned in her class and I would name this doll after her.

The weaving pattern for Joanne's dress is called "Desert Rose".   She is an all cloth doll with a needle felted face.   She is carrying a basket filled with fleece.
LOVE IS FOREVER -  I needle felted this senior citizen couple.  They have been married for many years and are still very much in love.
"Diana" is a 31" cloth doll that I created.  I wove her blouse on my loom in the "Krokbragd" weaving technique and then needle felted her head.
I took a class with Nadine Sanders called "Rumpelstitskin Delight - Double Warp Overlay for Rugs and Table Linens" on October 19-21, 2012.  We learned how to weave three layers on the same warp - an Upper Ground, a Lower Ground, and a Pattern Inlay.

Since I usually turn my samples into clothes for the dolls that I create, meet "NADINE".  Her green blouse shows the pattern inlay that I wove.  I sewed her body, needle felted her head and crocheted her hat, bag, cuffs on her legs and arms.
"Pearl" is a needle felted doll holding a bouquet of needle felted flowers.
This is a picture showing my "Love Is Forever" couple and the blue ribbon (1st place winner) that it received at the "Quilt Las Vegas 2013" show that was sponsored by the Desert Quilters of Nevada.  It was held at the Henderson Convention Center on April 26-28, 2013.

Our doll club, the "Las Vegas Silver Doll-ers", always has a table at the quilt show.  The quilters tell us that it is a huge hit with the people who come to see this wonderful show and the over 300 entries that they have each year.
I love needle felting because I can change any part of the body that I want.  I changed "Diana's" eyes from brown to blue, took some of the rouge off her cheeks, needle felted on top of her original all cloth hands and re-touched other parts of her face.  You can say I gave her what you would say to a human being, plastic surgery.

Grating at MTZ

…is where the train terminated this morning.

A Union Pacific train derailed between Richmond and Martinez. Consequently, I spent part of my morning commute waiting for a bus to leapfrog the train stoppage between said two stations. Overall, the bus wasn’t too bad, it just added an hour to the trip.

Blossoms at MTZ

Here’s to hoping getting home won’t be as delayed.
