 @Paul Timmins: Wow, that's a lot of information! I airboats you taking the time to help me on my journey! I've read the beginners guide already, I'm going to be listening to some of the old podcasts tonight! And I'll with my way through the foundation that you've outlined for me. Very excited! 

@Gary Hall, for sure thanks, I've never been there but if Im ever going to be up that way I'll drop you a line!

 @Amaka Nzenaguora, thanks that's excellent advice. I don't know any investors that I can talk to, but hopefully that will be changing soon enough!

 @Richard Dunlop I was in the same boat as you until I moved here! It's in Ogemaw County not far from Tawas. I still mess up and write Prescott, AZ sometimes lol!

@Richard_Dunlop I had no idea, that is SO encouraging. I'm originally from AZ and that's the market I fell in love with, when I moved to MI two years ago at first I was not impressed with the market as it it appeared there was a mass exodus taking place in the state. The longer I've lived here the more I've realized that wasn't exactly true and I've seen more opportunity than I had first thought. Thanks for giving me a giant sigh of relief though. That is doing good news indeed!

@Levi Thank you, that makes sense, Im sure the confidence boost that comes with finishing that first deal really helps kickstart that next one. Good luck to you in getting that first deal! I hope that first one snowballs into many more for you!

Thanks Donald, it's a lot to soak in, but lucky for me I've got a lot of time on my hands! I appreciate your advice on how to get started here, definitely diving right in!

Thanks for your words of encouragement @John Duffy! I will definitely try to maintain that mentality!

Since I was about 15 years old I always knew I wanted to be in real estate. I don't know how to explain it but I've always just been fascinated by so many aspects of the business, fixing and flipping, construction, development, apartments with several units, commercial, all of it really just gives me an such a thrill to learn about and talk about and think about. Been that way like I said since I was about 15 years old or so. Now 16 years and several poor life choices later I'm no closer to even getting started on my dream than I was then. It seems hopeless that I will ever even get started when I look at my current situation but the dream stays alive. Anyways I just wanted to say hi :)
