Newbie from Temecula California

[Brian Woitte]

First and foremost my 2 main philosophies:

1. BLUF - bottom line up front

2. Don't waste time

With that being said...

My name is Brian, I am a 25 year old currently living in Southern California looking to abandon all aspirations of getting trapped in the "rat race."

My primary goal is this: Complete financial freedom/retirement by the time I am 40.

The chariot that will carry me to this elusive goal is following a strict plan subject to change depending upon an increase of knowledge in this field or otherwise determining a better avenue of approach. My chariot is currently setup as such:

Step 1

Wholesaling

Step 2

Fix and flip

Step 3

Buy and hold

Step 4

Commercial properties

Currently I am in phase 1 of the plan and have been stuck there for approximately 8 months. (Clearly my formula needs to be revisited) I have loads of experience with talking to perspective sellers and have marketed to absentee investors, probate, and high equity homeowners that may be looking to retire. I have only worked with direct mail so far and started by sending out 500 letters weekly, I am now down to 100.

My knowledge base is from a few individuals in the area that have a proven method of success, books, and loads of podcasts. I have looked into BP however I have never really delved into it; but as I have been at this for so long without any measurable progress I am looking for any and all info I can gobble up that may lead me in the right direction.

I look forward to potentially working with some of you in the future and appreciate the vast knowledge base that BP has to offer, I will definitely be utilizing the wealth of information on here to its full potential and berating as many individuals as I can with seemingly endless questions. 

Thanks for reading the post, please let me know if you have any questions.

welcome to BP. Lots to learn and lots to find here.

I'm confused about whether you live in Oceanside or Temecula? I live smack dab between the two at my ranch in De Luz (part time). 

Suggest you check out the North San Diego reia which meets in Oceanside monthly. Good group.
