Talking about real estate opened a door for me

[Eric Olsen]

While doing some running around for my full time job I struck up a conversation with a roofing contractor at one of my stops. As we spoke, my real estate investing came up and I asked for a business card from the contractor stating the need for construction services at some point. 

He came back with several cards and said "if you ever need any help with real estate please let me know". Now I was on the page  of yes, ill need help with construction down the road and I was networking a possiblity using him for work. Makes sense, right? Yet his statement seemed out of bounds so i clairfied asking if he meant with construction work for his company. He said "No, with funding."

Holy crap man! 

Background on me. I have not yet invested in real estate yet. Im currently working with an investor who is mentoring me but I have never even gotten a property under contract. Yet just by speaking to someone an opportunity for potential funding presented itself! Kick ***!

Now I understand I have not invested in real estate at thethe present. I consider myself an investor though as I'm driving for dollars, running numbers, and actively out there working to get it done. 

As new as I am I continue to make progress each day brining me closer to my goals. The way I look at it is this...Its already done, I just have to finish! 

Have a good holiday weekend everyone and be safe.
