Getting Off the sidelines - Taking Actionable Steps
Why in the world would I want to start a blog? I've never done it before, I'm really not much of a social media guy, so what possessed me to do it. Taking Actionable Steps is what I read and hear people saying all the time. You can go to seminars, REI courses, and read all you want. But, unless you start "DOing" it doesn't mean a thing. So today I start Taking Actionable Steps!
This Blog is one step for me --- Networking. What better way to find Team members, Partner's, Lenders. I work on average 60-70 hours a week, 12 hour shifts, days and nights. Therefore, I have little time to physically go out to network (or anything else). I hope to post on here a minimum of twice a month.
I also upgraded my BiggerPockets account to access more of the great tools provided here. And again to demonstrate I am serious about REI.
I intend to read at least one REI book per month (downloaded Brandon Turner's "No an Low Money Down" today). I will try to watch one Podcast per week (time permitting).
Lastly, today I will start the 30 day analysis challenge. I will analyze Small (2-4 unit) Multifamily and some small Apartments (if reasonable) for BRRRR (Buy and Hold). I will post them on the appropriate Forum for comments. Post will not be daily, but, should be weekly.

John,
I found your post today and read through your property evaluations. I applaud your efforts doing this analysis while you are holding down a job that obviously takes up a considerable amount of time. Not to mention spending quality time with family.
I like the price structure you are using that shows the property at various price points as you say: List Price, Strike Price (90%), Goal Price (80%), down to a Base Offer Price (70%).
I've found that in building my team, it seemed to happen while I wasn't looking. You, I'm sure, will experience the same and your team will fall into place just when you least expect it.
Good luck to you....and I will be following your challenge post...

@Daria B, thank you for the comments. I am only using the price structure as a ruff guild when determining an offer price. The condition of the property of course is the real determining factor along with the sellers needs/motivation. I hope team members appear, as you say, when I'm not looking. But, I will keep looking just the same. :)
