I NEED A KICK ! ! ! PLEASE HELP! ! !

[Barry Amado]

I have been waiting for this a long time. I have read all the books, posts from this site. I've gotten advise from friends that are either multiple property investors or rehabbers. I've even watched some of the late night "guru's" on those occational sleepless nights. My time is now! I work full time in the HVAC industry in NC and we are currently in our busyest (I had a real hard time spelling busyest...busyist...busiest...oh well you know what I mean) time of year and have been working pretty much from 7:00am to around 9:00pm everyday except Sunday which is usually around 9:00am till 4:00pm. The problem is come September the norm is to drop from 10 to 14 hr days to 3 to 5 hr days with a lot of days off in between......feast or famine. As I said the time is now! Every fall and spring it get's hard to make ends meet and I don't want to go through one of these dry spells again. I have three buyers that have told me if I bring them the right deal they will buy and if they don't I shouldn't have any problem finding someone that will. I am at the point were I just need to start finding properties to assign. I have a contract but I'm not that comfortable with it. I have the know how and the passion but I feel like I'm stuck. Like a diver that knows all the dives but is just a little tentative to jump off the board. Please help! A little pep talk, a kick in the ***, some advice. I keep telling myself that It will be the difference in my family (wife, 6 yr old daughter and 3 yr old son) enjoying life year round or struggling through those lean slow months.

Thank you all.
