Just starting, and starting young! (20)

[Leah Bonner]

Alright so i've been reading tons of forums on here and decided to post one and see how it goes! 

I'm currently starting out with my dad as we have both been reading up and learning from Ron legrands Programs. So far i have sent out a little over 600 yellow letters (mainly to absentee) and haven't gotten the responce rate i was hoping for :/  ( also doing a couple bandit signs, And soon going to start posting ads on craigslits or other real estate sites ) 

But i know once i get a deal it'll be a snow ball effect. I almost had a very nice deal but once i got to scan the house for myself the owner lied about A LOT of the repairs so i backed out, I still have that fear of being on the phone too ( i know confidence will come in practice!) 

and its been almost a month so now im starting to send out postcards to houses that i have already sent to, just to let them know i am serious. 

Some might be wondering what the point of this post is, but venting to a community like this is actually really helpful!! 

Also I guess i do have a couple scattered questions, such as how can i work on a buyers list without having a property on hand (i am going to start going to an rei club as well ) AND if your an investor in Texas Maybe we can network :) 

Ill keep this post as a journal for when i do get my first deal under contract 

How did you get over the phone call nerves? 

RANT OVER (sorry about the scatter brain but any input would be awesome :)
