I'll add my welcome as well. It doesn't matter when you introduce yourself, as long as you do! What kinds of things have you done in your past in terms of entrepreneurship?

Are you a street racer? That's pretty cool!

Great Question Larry! I'd love to hear the perspective of others on this one as well. It seems like waiting for winter to pass is an obvious move, but maybe people have managed to carve a niche by employing the tactic of being the last rehabber standing in the winter.

Guys?

Thanks for your service Samuel! I think the first thing that would be helpful in answering your question would be to get a better idea of exactly what your time constraints look like. I know they are limited, but how limited are we talking?

Have you done any exploration of private money and hard money for financing?

I realize that I haven't answered any of your questions, but I thought my questions might help the others when they jump in to help out.

As others like to say, welcome to the BP Nation!

Lets play devil's advocate here. Take all of the politics out of the equation and look at the possibility that there is actually warming happening due to man's activities. Then what?

I wanted to let Robert and Vince know that the guys running this site are in the business of looking out for their members. Don't take anything personal unless they start calling you out. If they do, there won't be any confusion about it.

If they did actually mean to call you a shill, which they've already said they didn't, and this offends you, you're probably going to have a tough time in the real estate business. You'll need to get some thick skin to survive.

Good luck.

Welcome to BP. As Christian said, you'll be able to find the answers you're looking for in the wholesaling forum.

Clever show. You guys keep it light. I'd love to see more instructional content in the show as well in the future.
