Learning Wholesaling, Networking and Real Estate Investors/buyers
Hi!
My name is Cindy and I just wanted to say Thank You Brandon Turner for that welcome email you sent me four days ago! I just read it today and now I am going to go back and edit my profile! And Thank You to all those who sent me a wealth of articles to read!
As I said, my name is Cindy and I live in Arizona. I came here from California where I received most of my education in real estate by working in title insurance for almost 10 years. I only worked for two companies during that time so that allowed me to cross-train in all the different departments such as Searching, Customer Service, Policy and Prelim typist, Escrow Secretary, Receptionist and Title Secretary in the first company.
Then I was recruited by a Sales Rep who opened his own company to set up his Word Processing Department where we used Display Writers (that should give you an idea of how long ago that was!) and became Supervisor of that Department and still continued to learn and eventually became a Title Secretary!
The set-up of title companies from California to Arizona is so different, or maybe it was just the company that picked to interview me, I felt like I was in a foreign country! Needless to say, I did not pursue a career in title in AZ.
Instead, I became a Domestic Engineer (Homemaker) and raised my family and went to college and earned my Associates in Paralegal studies. There is a whole other reason why I wanted to learn how to navigate around the arena of law and understand, at least, a little bit of what I read! Wait!! that sounds horrible!! We bought a house and the roof was covered by the contractor but he never fixed it properly.....and we could not afford an attorney....so I talked my husband into fighting the contractor ourselves! We won! See! Nothing bad!
But what I found out when I went back to college is that Legal Research was my passion and still is! Which....
Brings me to how I found this site. I was yet, again, watching a video on how to make money in real estate and one word stuck out WHOLESALING! I never heard of that! But I was lead here as I clicked on the different links. Praise the Lord!
Well, this letter is pretty long, but that is 34 years of my life in a nutshell!
And, you guys have made me realize, I do have some kind of experience in real estate and I can use it! Thank you for that!
Right now, I want to learn as much as I can about Wholesaling and generally I start reading and researching and this is a wonderful place to be.
Thanks for letting me introduce myself! OOO! New people read your emails from BiggerPockets they are so helpful! Don't wait like me!!!!
