Military Newcomer from San Diego, CA

[Jose Torres]

Greetings!

My name is Jose Torres, and I am a newcomer who has become deeply intrigued by the prospective gain of Tax and Lien Certificates. It is my sincerest desire to achieve a prospective gain of 50,000 USD in the first two years of starting in this business venture.

However, my situation is substantially different from the average newcomer. I am serving as an active duty military member who is currently deployed outside the United States. This means I cannot physically investigate properties, attend seminars or network in person. To further complicate my situation, my hours are long and unpredictable, and my internet capabilities are limited.

They say time is money and that if you have both, you can turn a profit, but this appears to be an oversimplification. Without a physical presence in America and a limited internet connection, I fear I am incapable of garnering a foothold without being conned. I have come to this site under a referral in hopes that I will find a mutual beneficiary that I may work with until I ultimately return to the country.

I have made mistakes in the past that have cost me immense financial loss at the expense of my naievity. I cannot afford another case of gross ineptitude. Chief among these mistakes is trusting family and friends to take up the charge of doing footwork in my absence. I truly believe that I should be a writer, for the sheer creativity and volume of excuses I have recieved from (mis)trusted associates is without competition -- Everyone wants a piece of the pie, but when it comes time to put up or get out, everyone walks. Everyone. I hope this conundrum to end with my arrival to biggerpockets.com.

Thank you for your time in reading this. I look forward to reading any replies with anticipation.
