Trying to get the business

[Sergio L. Garza]

Hello there my fellow REI people. I am new to the game. Been running up and down the streets of Houston looking for vacant buildings or houses that may have potential to put under contract. In the game for a little over a month. Been checking out the platt maps for some buildings, calling the owners of vacant buildings, meeting divorce lawyers (for networking purposes), meeting some realtors, Real Estate Brokers, looking at the MLS sites, meeting owners of homes. I need to do more of what I'm doing and some.

I am starting to understand that the things that I am doing has to become a habit in order for me to find what I'm looking for. It seems like the best way to get any kind of success is to go out there and get rejected until someone says "yes" and get them on an agreement. I'm not really looking to wholesale (assign). I'm looking to use land contracts, options or double escrows. I am mostly looking for "no risk" investments, a.k.a. "white elephants". 

Anyways, just thought I'd put out what I have been doing as my introduction to everyone. If anyone has any advice for a newb like me, let me know. Otherwise, this message will self destruct in 3...2...1.
