New, nervouse, and from Grand Lake, north east Oklahoma

[Justin Hughes]

Hey there BPers, I'm J. Harley Hughes(My real name is Justin, but I'm trying to establish a brand here). I got interested in real estate investing at the tender age of 10, when my grandfather offered me a summer job with his drywall company. I worked hard for him, and also paid attention to the other crews and learned a great deal. I also paid attention to my grandfather's real estate deals. I began reading everything I could find while I was in college, and decided that while I have many paths I plan on taking to reach my ultimate financial goals, real estate is going to be the cornerstone.

After years of study, and struggle to maintain a job paying more than slave wages, I have finally seen an opening in my local market. Because of my connections to the politics and policy of this area(My network hub in the area is an editor for a paper that prints every policy decision effecting Grand Lake), I realize now is the time to act.

I have found a woman who has offered to answer any questions, and guided me to the method I plan on using, wholesaling and assigning, and has offered not only support, but genuine guidance. She asked for nothing in return, but I did offer my marketing skills(radio guys are fantastic advertisers), and she has taken me up on an offer to help her sell an online business. Fingers crossed, I can get her a good profit in a short amount of time, and I am dedicating all of my marketing skills towards that end in the short term.

Brittany(my mentor) directed me to this site for a page on the process of wholesaling and assigning as a method of getting my feet wet in real estate without having any money or a good credit score. I began to explore the site, read the free guide, and decided this forum is a must-have tool in my development as an investor.

I have studied, but have remained in theoretical understanding, picking up the physics of pool but never chalking a cue. I accept any advice, any guidance, and as I learn through doing, I will be glad to pass my learned lessons on to others. I hope to be successful, and if anyone has any questions on marketing, advertising, or persuasive communications, I am glad to offer my assistance, at the same rate that your assistance is offered to me. :D

Peace, love, and abundance to all.

Harley
