I've tried to make myself useful...

[David Shelton]

Hello... So I've listened to hundreds of hours of podcast and read 20ish books about Real Estate (in the past 2 years) and I decided to make a move because knowledge without action is somewhat pointless. I did what many people have suggested and I've made myself useful. For 2 weeks now I have worked for a Investor for free. I've been making calls, visiting with property owners, taking pictures, updating his system (FreedomSoft). I have hundreds of his leads in the system some of which have been skipped traced and some are leads that he's just been following up with. I want to be sure that I'm doing the right thing here, which is dialing my fingers off with the hope of making a deal. Am I on the right track?

I am starting to develop a template answer to questions like this because if you think about it, isn't it a bit silly that you are asking us what you want to do? =D

Goals. It starts with goals. Why do you care about real estate? What are you hoping to get out of it? Those questions are answered 1000 different ways by 1000 different investors, and how you answer dictates EVERYTHING.

It's fantastic you've decided to take action. But be careful you aren't wasting your time if you don't have somewhere you want to go with it.

SO, yes you are on the right track if you want experience finding and working with motivated sellers. If you want to build a relationship with the mentor. 

That's one way to do it.
