Hang In There Newbie's

[Michael Askew]

I just want to stop by and thank the bigger pockets community for giving me a plethora of advice which helped me close my first two deals. I am a wholesaler in the Charlotte, NC and I have been reading and listening to podcast for a while with hopes of getting the knowledge I need to close my first deal. I would like to encourage the new investors to never give up even if you are not getting the results that you expected. I walked away from corporate America to invest in real estate full time and to my surprise it was harder than what I expected it to be. The good news about jumping both feet into wholesaling is that it forced me to act on what I learned  asap instead of procrastinating because I did not have a plan B. I  I closed my first deal last month and I will close my second deal next week. Newbie's....you can do anything that you put your mind to. Connect with the investors in your area and find out ways to add value to their real estate investing business. If you do not have a lot of money to invest in marketing, find cost efficient ways to get your first deal such as driving for dollars, attending free meet up events, and informing everybody that you come in contact with that you invest in real estate. After I close my first deal last month I went to the bank to cash my check. After the teller found out that I was a real estate investor, she informed me that her father house was about to be foreclosed and she wanted me to buy it. That's it for now because I could talk forever about how real estate is changing my life but I will save that for another forum/day lol. I'll see you at the top Bigger Pockets family.
