I'm not progressing. I want to.

I just listened to episode 176 with Tom Krol. It was really inspiring and motivating. (well at least enough to get me posting my thoughts). In the episode, he described in great detail his direct marketing campaign and encouraged everyone to just go out and start getting deals.

This sounds great, and I'd love to take his advice, it's just that the thought of not being able to follow through with a "quick cash offer" or otherwise failing to be able to help a seller once I make contact.

Ok, so let's say I start mailing to the small list of homes I've found while driving for dollars. Then someone actually calls me. I do not have the money to make a cash offer. I could potentially wholesale the deal if I could manage to get it under contract. Funds to even cover the cost of a lawyer to draw up papers are very limited due to being in the middle of trying to close on my primary residence. Plus a whole bunch of other "Life" stuff happening at the most intense level I've ever seen. (Sewer overflowing into our house, all our belongings are in a pod, wife's grandfather needing constant care)

PHhhw. Anyone have some advice on a good solid plan of action I could form? Thanks for listening.
