Hello BP world
So, I've been studying the subject for nearly a year now, including nearly 3 months of pro membership. I was so gunho about leaping into real estate investing. I've studied some of the gurus via guerrilla tactics. I've analyzed deal after deal with the worse case scenarios still proving to be profitable. And my goodness has this month been good to me. I met a couple people from here. I even connected with a private lender who appointed me a local mentor for a mentorship for my first 10 deals. On top of my personal studies, I completed the real estate salesagent course this month for faster access and improve my personal marketability. I killed the general portion with REI knowledge, but my law is lacking. The class taught me a new respect for real estate law. The wrong words in an advertisement could potentially lead a wholesaler to a felony charge. Anyways, since that class and acquiring a mentor, guess how many offers I've made! A big fat ZERO. For some reason, I got everything set up to go and I froze. My current excuses are I don't have the fees to get the license, even though a broker could cover that with proper negotiation, which leaves me without an investor friendly agent. And I'm not sure which design to go with for my postcard for this list of properties from driving for dollars (a form of quality time together) with the wife. Anyways, I'm not sure if I"m still afraid because I lost a thousand dollars in the past due to a lack of education or if I'm afraid of my goals actually being attainable. This post went a different direction than I expected when I started it. Anyways, thanks for reading and the encouragement in advanced.
