How do I JUST START!!
All,
I have been reading many of your "How do I start" topics. Please allow me to squeeze mine in, as I am really struggling and I just cant even understand why I cant just get up and do it.
A bit of background. My entire career I have beeing in the research sector (NASA robotics). I received an offer in private sector that was very decent. (9K a month after taxes). The problem is.. I HATE THIS JOB!!!!!!
I have always been into real estate and my motivation is freedom. I love traveling and exploring the world. Now you spend 8 hours a day in a building. 30 minutes driving to and from that building, 1 hour getting ready to drive to that building and 1 hour relaxing after you come home from that damn building and 8 hours of sleep, leaves not much to have a life.
So there is my motivation.
Now. In my situation able to put away about 6K to 7K towards savings a month can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong, how you would go about it?
As for my story, I did the reading, the yearning, the self pep talks.
I have made my lists of what to do.. but I do not get it. I just can not start. No matter how much I read I just don't know how to start.
Is there a real step by step process that does not skip anything nor assume that you know something?
I think wholesaling is the way to go for me for now.
I am trying making my website (to attract sellers buyers lenders). LLC? Does it matter? Is it needed? /adviced?
Then what? Am I ready and prepared to do this? If so why do I sily not know w hat to do even when I have read every article about it.
SO my question for you all is. What do I do now?
example:
here is what I would do:
1) find lenders
2 find buyers
3) set up contracts? get the infrastructure in place? (what ever that means)
4) find sellers.
Does this sound like a good action plan?
One very important last thing!
THANK you so much!
