Introduction to the Real Estate Investing.

Hi Bp community, my name is Alejandro Flores, I'm a 20-year-old guy that lives in Houston Tx that for the past year I have been reading and taking as much knowledge as I could in Real Estate Investing industry. I'm fully dedicated to this route that I'm heading towards even though my friends and family don't believe me of what I could do. On the second week of February 2017, that's when I decided to start the business of real estate investing. On that week I created "Newsteller Properties", created a social media, a website, and printed business cards. The next week I started marketing. First Started to create a buyers list by sending 50 letters and out of those 6 agreed to be on my buyer's list, and will still keep adding more. For the rest of February, I have been sending letter and postcards to Probates, Pre-foreclosure with equity, and owner absentee in and out of state. Sent 400 letters/postcards this month is what I sent and got no calls from motivated sellers. My goals for this month (March 2017) is to get calls in, and hopefully get a house under contract and to finish getting my Real Estate license. Working as a wholesaler soon later a rehabber. My motivation is showing my friends and family that I'm capable of achieving what I tend to do, and with the help of the Bp community I hope to prove them wrong.

Welcome to BP @Alejandro Flores. I admire your motivation in marketing yourself as well as getting your license so young. I believe the biggest piece of advice to understand that this business is not a sprint, but a marathon. If you are wholesaling you should not be discouraged if you haven't seen any results for 6 months. Other than that it sounds like you are on the right path. Best of luck to you.
