Small town start up.. go virtual or stay local?

Tyler Wood
Posted

Would like to start off with a little bit about me. 

     My names Tyler and I am a 24 year old, born and raised in West Virginia. Small town of Huntington, just under 50,000 residents. Mostly a college town. Barely finished high school and dropped out of college because school just didn't seem to be for me or the direction I wanted to go in life. No real successful person in my family or close to me to learn from or watch. Never had a good job and couldn't keep any I've had because they've just made me flat out unhappy. I can't wake up everyday and force myself to work a crappy job just for a paycheck. Idk I just don't have it in me. 

     Fast forward to now after learning about wholesaling real estate and its got my interest. Like nothing ever has actually. Im conflicted with what direction to go with my business that my partner and I are constructing.  Ive never owned a car or my own place to live. Never known what its like to be independent. And to be honest, what its like to be truly happy. And with real estate I think I can finally agree with myself that its actually possible. Im just really unsure with what to do with my market here. And whether or not I should focus here and expand or just look to start elsewhere possibly. 

     Ive got the gist of everything down pretty much. What niche I wanna work. What it is exactly. I could use some more knowledge on every possible outcome to help a seller out of their situation. Every possible way to do a deal basically. Get a concrete system that works in front of me so I can sit down and just go to work. Instead of being all over the place with everything. I wanna make a better life for myself and the ones I love. And help people in need. Any advice, knowledge, or insight would be GREATLY appreciated. Im obviously new to all of this and sometimes its a little overwhelming. I know I can do it and that this is for me, this is what Ive been waiting to figure out. The big question everyone asks themselves: "What do I wanna do with my life?" Ive finally answered that question for myself. Now I just need to draw the map and follow it. 

          Have a blessed day, Tyler
