What Should I Do While In The Meantime While I'm Broke..?

Hey BP,

So, after a lot of reading and research and downloading home design and development software, and 50 podcasts, I'm ready to get started! I've planned out my full Facebook and Google ads, setup my website, and have my Hotline setup to start generating leads on homes I can either flip or wholesale, depending on if it meets my criteria, budget, and loan abilities. In addition, I am planning on getting my real estate license in the state of Indiana. I've added up all my costs to get this started, and I'm anticipating about $2000 for one month of the ad campaign, $300 for my website, $500 for my license , and I'm still unsure on the Hotline. That being said, I need about a month to save up the cash for all this. Living in small town Goshen, IN there's not much going on, and I can't seem to find any real estate investing clubs. I don't mind a drive to Chicago for meetings, but would much rather stay local. My conversations with strangers have taught me that shockingly a lot of the older people here are investors as they knew my terminology! All that said, I've got two questions..

1) I can't find any investor meetings, does anybody have any idea of where I can find some in my area?

2) How much are the average MLS fees?

3) What should I do in the meantime? I'm getting bored and anxious! I want to keep furthering my education and re listen to podcasts and read more blogs, but so much information is only useful to a certain point. Eventually you need to put it into practice!

Thanks BP,

Jason Eyerly
