Good to meet you @Joey Nakayama !

Congrats on your first triplex. What area is it in? What areas are you looking in for your next deal?

@Anson Young is Denver more of a commuter town / spread out / people don't really live "in the city"? I'd love to see it in the summer time. We're also thinking of checking out boulder

Hi @Ned Carey ,

Thank you for the link on finding a mentor. I plan to follow your advice and keep the BP forum abreast of my progress after appointment. There is also an REI meeting tonight that I will try to attend. Thank you!

Hi @Eric Black

Thank you for the candid advice! Wow, way to put things in perspective. I think 50% of a deal is better than a potentially lost deal.

Thank you @Brandon Turner for the tip about the podcasts. I'll have to download some and listen during my commute. Keyword alerts created!

Hi @Anson Young

Giordano's is one of my favs for stuffed pizza. I lived near one for many years. I recently went to CO for the first time and loved it. Wish I could have seen more of denver though. how do you like it there?

Hi all,

Sounds like a great networking event. I'd like to try to make it after my seller appointment if it's not too late to join in!

Hey all,

So, that last time I tried my hand at REI, I got so bogged down in courses and information that I got stuck in analysis paralysis...

Agonizing over every detail...what should my biz card look like, do I need an LLC etc.

This time around... I kinda jumped into the deep end.

I put out a ton flyers in my farm area, passed out hundreds of business cards everywhere I went, and also a few bandit signs for good measure.

Well...my phone has started to ring, and i have my first appointment tomorrow!

I'm just not sure what to do next!

Do I start marketing for buyers? Find someone to partner on this deal with me? I have no clue if it's even a deal yet. (details in the deal analysis forum)

Part of me thinks I need a "mentor" to help me through the first few deals and another part thinks I should try to "wing it" on my own with the help of BP lol.

Any ideas on the next steps?
