Hello everyone, since joining BP I have been a busy bee and I am as green as the rest of the newbies here. I want to share some tips and also a quick update. First off, I have stopped seeking a mentor, I now realize that many successful investors have been given the speech a million times "I want to learn, I am so motivated, just tell me what to do, blah... blah...blah" and many times their time is wasted. So I will continue to work hard everyday and my "perfect mentor" :blush: will come in time
Many have told me that the area I live in will be a difficult one, and they were not lying. But here are some tips, write down a to do list every morning, a sense of direction helps! I made my fake listing on craigslist and I got 3-hits (better than 0). I also found a great title company and they gave me a list of all "absentee homes" in town (theres alot, I am overwhelmed!) When I spoke to the title company I really sounded like I knew what I was talking about and she apparently thought that I am "big time" :lol: (once she sees my car she wont think that anymore) so she offered me a free service where I can get detailed property profiles on the computer, and her cell phone number etc. etc. With this free service I will find out who the owners are for the professionally managed for rent homes and hopefully add them to my buyers list. BTW I had to drive all around town and talk to people, I get more help in person VS over the phone, but some people did view me as a dainty little girl so speaking confidently is a must. There is alot more but that would make this post to long, so till next time
"Stay Motivated" and veterans I AM HERE TO STAY! :wink:
