Ready, Set, Action - Stalled at the Starting Line

[Jonathan Abbott]

Hello all!

Around the end of July I began my quest to start a real estate investing business for myself to eventually escape a day-to-day job that wasn't fulfilling to me. Since then I have been exploring every avenue of the deal finding process but to no avail. My biggest contribution was a direct mailing campaign where I targeted absentee and owners with 40% in their home. This strategy got me a couple of calls and finally a lead at the beginning of this month. Unfortunately the lead dried up, and the motivated seller wanted market price for a property that needed a TON of work. 

So here I am today, listening to Tony Robins and Grant Cardone, trying to stay motivated and "trust the process." I am now reaching out the the BP community. Wholesaling is my way into investing as a new real estate entrepreneur. I am more motivated and driven than ever to take the necessary steps to make the deals happen and scale! With that being said, I fear that I have been putting all of my eggs in the wrong basket and may be venturing down a path of no return. 

So what questions do I pose to the legendary BP community? Honestly, I don't know anymore! With the world epidemic going on and networking at a sudden halt, how does someone get started in an investing career, specifically a wholesale, in this market climate. While I know that asking for mentors in this section of the forums in not appropriate, I do ask for help. Guidance. A direction. I know that this process works, but am unsure that I am working the process correctly, effectively, and efficiently. 

If there is one thing I could ask of a great community such as BP, it would be to provide an inspired, young, motivated entrepreneur the guidance to go and make 1 deal happen. Once I prove this concept with one deal, I will be full steam ahead!

Thank you all, I appreciate all of the help the BP community has given me,
