Very first property under contract
Well I have some exciting news, I got my very first property under contract yesterday!!! The last 5 months of just education through bigger pockets, youtube, many books, and Sean Terry's free podcast have prepared me so much!! Over the last 5 months I have listened to Sean's podcasts on my commute to and from work and he provided the best knowledge when it comes to wholesaling properties!!! Just opened up escrow with a title company and now I am marketing for cash buyers!! This has been a really fun and busy processes and I can't wait until I can do 2-3 of these a month. My goal is to put away 50k in the bank and then at that point I am quitting my full time job and getting out of the rat race!! Exciting and fun times ahead!!!
HERE'S TO FREEDOM!!!

@Ronald Perich its the way to go trust me! I have a 3 year old daughter and she is the main reason to do this because I want her to have an even better life than she already has. You can do this part time and you will have to make sacrifices but it will be worth it. We tend to be afraid of taking risks and that is exactly why people continue to be miserable at their jobs barely scrapping by because they refuse to think and act differently. Go after your dreams and be tenacious and don't give up. One of my favorite quotes I have heard: "What is there to be afraid of you're not dead, there isn't a bullet in ya"!
