Reaching out to a local Real Estate Investor

[Lakeisha Smith]

Good morning members,

Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day-from canceling a education membership to learn more about REI that was WAY too much to figuring out what next as this is a path I'm not giving up on. So I decided to reach within my network and fugue out who was into REI. A name hit my spirit and I reached out to her. I explained my experience of the past week with the Real Estate workshop, how I almost fell for the okie doke, and now pursuing on my own. I asked for any advice on starting out and even asked to be mentored. Low and behold, she got my message and within minutes she called me back more than willing to help! She made her first investment at 23 and is in her 30's now. We have our first meeting on August 6, 2016!

This may not seem like much to many of you that are already into REI and it may have you wondering why I posted this. Well it's a HUGE step for me as I didn't allow one bad experience to deter me from my ultimate goal of REI. I share this so that others can know to reach out to people, don't be afraid, when one door closes go to the next!
