Hi Everyone at BiggerPockets,
I love this site
I hope you’ve got your popcorn & soda pop; this message isn’t going to be a short one!
At
first glance if you were to read my profile page you might be wondering
“what the hell does this guy want or perhaps what can he possibly think
that he can do for me”.
**SPOILER ALERT** - You’re most likely
gonna love me, or think I am a jackass who possesses an overvalued sense
of personal worth in combination of too lofty a set of goals &
dreams
“People refuse to take chances in business, because they fear the criticism which may follow if they fail." - Napoleon Hill
I
have only just very recently decided to throw my hat into the REI
arena. It is true that as of yet; I am still very wet behind the ears
& as green as they come in some ways of real estate in terms of
personal experience.
It is also a true statement that I am
currently working with extremely limited seed capital. I am beginning my
REI career with such limited resources and with soooooh much to learn
that it is honestly crazy for me to compute sometimes!…
However,
these statements of fact do not scare me though… rather the opposite
effect has taken place; it both completely excites & invigorates the
absolute hell outta me!

Everyone has to start somewhere right…
"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." - Napoleon Hill
The reasons that I am reaching out to you are as follows:
I
look into everyone’s profile and for lack of a better word immediately
“envied” the ways in which many of you have gone about presenting
yourselves, your current objectives, and also your short term &
future goals too
I only want to pattern my business & it’s practice after extremely successful examples
Since
rejoining the community of BP I have been constantly & consistently
blown away by the quality & quantity of advice and or assistance
that is given by others in this community of investors & other real
estate professionals
My gut told me that this is the best site for this outcry and to definitely take full advantage of this platform
It
was made instantly clear to me that I would learn a great deal from all
of you. I am completely cognizant of the value to be gained in
absorbing the experience you can obtain through the sharing of both your
own as well as others’ experiences; both the successes & failures
My
conscience is clean in making this request of looking for community to
better me in this industry because I am not looking for a one sided love
affair here. In every relationship that I pursue to forge I always
search for any & all ways that I could potentially enrich, enhance,
or at least bring some measure of worth & value to it on a regular
basis
Just by simply looking into your profile and through only a
few moments worth of reading; I gain some degree of an understanding of
what you would be interested in investment wise or what types of
relationships you would benefit from. As well as a small idea about the
methods you’ve used to grow your businesses. At this point in the game I
have at least discovered what actually can be made possible through an
open & honest line of communication
One of; if not my very
first objective on this site is to build strong, lasting business
relationships for more than just myself but for all of whom I come in
contact with that I find to be; I’ve used the phrase before “quality
professionals”. I am personally convinced and amazed by the incredible
power & possibilities generated through a commitment to earnest
targeted networking
I have made it my mission thus far; to bring
value & business to others in our craft in an order to strengthen
various bonds & utilize the combined strengths & advantages
associated with the various roles played by both the many different real
estate professionals & tradesmen also. I am always looking for
possible ways for me to facilitate introductions in any way
I will always do this with the intentions & hopes of bringing benefit and or profit to all of the introduced parties
Due
to my current yet thankfully momentary limitations I understand that
one of the best & easiest ways in which I can be of value to others
in this community is by identifying the wants & needs of others,
locating those who possess the abilities and willingness to fulfill
those needs, and then whenever possible I connect them to each other
In
a very short time it has been made abundantly clear to me the power
behind the concept & practice of constant, continuous word of mouth
style promoting/marketing/networking, or even more so face to face, eye
to eye handshaking
There is always something to be gained from an honest relationship there will always be a potential for mutual gain or profit
“Diligence
is the mother of good fortune. And idleness, its opposite, never
brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes." - Miguel de
Cervantes
I always have & always will have extremely high
expectations of myself. It is one of my basest of goals always;
continuing to focus on learning, growing, and improving…
I always
will be myself in this business, take me or leave me as I am. You
certainly are only worth the perceived value of your reputation; whether
as an individual, a wholesaler/investor, or any other professional in
our industry.
I know I have a staggering amount to learn in many
ways…but I never be eternally satisfied until I become a real estate
jedi master!
I am completely aware that I will probably never be able to walk on water… but for some reason or another I’m always gonna try!
Until
I take my next step in REI and the majority of my business is comprised
solely of assigning contracts to other private investors; I only want
to be thought of or considered to be the number one wholesaler; at least
in one way or another to every quality investor/professional that I
have the privilege of I coming across
I will always need as long
as I am a real estate investor; all of the tricks, tools, & trades I
learn through becoming a tremendous wholesaler
I want every
aspect of my lead generation, my property evaluations, my deal analysis,
my renovation budgets (determinations, estimates, & timelines) the
complete all in requirements in both time and holding cost spent from
start to finish, establishing ARV's, and of course nothing less than
100% picture perfect all-inclusive, data thorough, as easy to say yay or
nay on in moment style property breakdown presentations!
I am not looking for someone to grasp me by my own two hands and simply place the keys to the kingdom within them…
I
want to be thought of as an investor’s wet dream next best lead
generator, next best free marketing networking/machine, next best
potential partner or associate, etc.etc.etc. yatayatyayata!
Yes I need to learn a great deal and even more so to do to accomplish all that.
However
a REI seed has been planted in my brain. It has completely taken root,
no shttin ya; it's one of those big ole tap root going straight to my
soul kinda roots. I need others like yourself to shelter, nurture, &
encourage; In short order just shown me a little sun and water me a
little bit every now and PLEASE…
I promise I’ll keep growing!
In closing,
Please
reach out to me in any way you prefer but I would do much short of kill
something to get the chance to speak with any of you I can be reached
all the time 774-218-5604. If you don’t get me if you leave a message
guaranteed I’ll call you back.
I know I am asking for a
lotttaaahhh help here. The way I look at is; if I’m better at what I’m
doing as a wholesaler/investor & if I am making more buyers & or
sellers money, if as I grow and network myself I endlessly promote and
refer others to build relationships to get deals done, and if you
yourself are creative and honest and could probably find some odd things
that I can do in some form of retribution. If you did, trust me I’m
game.

Have a great weekend!
As always good luck in all your real estate endeavors!
Sincerely,
Hopefully your new found friend and Colleague & student – Dan Dwyer
