Last year I read a book maybe you reading this have as well and if not I recommend it. Its called Rich dad Poor dad. This book literally changed my life not to tell too much of it,but I learned about financial freedom. I have had a full time for 5yrs you know the typical 9 to 5,and although im blessed and thankful to have a job i just wanted to do something different create a form of passive income on the side I decided REI was the best option for me. I started going to open houses talking to realtors, they would proceed to ask me that magic question Am I Pre-Qualified? with my recent bankruptcy and my credit in the rebuilding stage a bank wouldnt touch me. Im obviously summarizing here but i eventually landed here on BP,and in the past 5 days Ive learned more than I ever have. Watching old videos listening to old podcasts starting discussions so on and so forth. In the past 5 days I have gained a mentor, and just recently despite my Bankruptcy situation a Private lender reached out to me and basically said if a deal is a good enough they might give it a shot. Hey thats a hell of alot better than the rejection i been getting. Even the advice you get in the discussion forum is good advice.... there are a few rude people but hey the good out weighs the bad........In conclusion Never give up and the golden Never say this wont work ask yourself how can I make this work . I will be watching cheering you other Newbies on,But for now I have to go hunt down a good deal Best of wishes God Speed.

P.S.   Take Notes
