Day 8 into the new year and I'm making progress.

I'm not one for New Years resolutions cause I'm like the rest, set an arbitrary goal and forget about it in a couple days. I once tried to do it the smart way and set one resolution for each month and take the month to focus on one habit I wanted to change. You know, because the experts tell you it takes 30 days to break a habit.... That didn't last long either. This year is different. 

I quit using Facebook over a month ago because I was wasting to much time on it and it doesn't add any value to my life and picked up a book by j. Scott on how to flip houses. It's not the first time I stop everything and pick up an entrepreneurial book and get all motivated but do nothing.... I need to make something happen this year, if not multiple things.  Well with funds tight, i need to find a way to make extra money so I've been looking into getting my real estate license. I have an appointment Wednesday to talk to a broker about the fees that are involved to keep a license in Minnesota.  

Also I've been looking at the local market and saw two houses that looked like good flips.... I've also thought about wholesaling and have done some driving around and both houses now have investors in front of the houses so given the right circumstances, if they are making it work, I could have too. Tonight I got in contact with my first cash buyer so it's time to start wholesaling. I have a learning curve but I'm going to make it work. I'm going to look for a few more cash buyers  in the next couple days but then it's time to make something happen. I probably going to try to sell a few houses since I'm pretty sure I'll be getting my RE license. 

I'm pretty excited about talking to the investor today so I wanted to share. You'll be seeing a lot more of me around this forum trying to learn, get it right, and make it happen. Thanks bigger pockets for your podcast, forum and everything else you do that helps keep me motivated and learning.
