Hey Nelson,

Glad to see a fellow Brockton resident on the forums. I am in the learning phase in my REI career and will be pursuing a RE license very soon. Good luck on your journey and wish you great success.

P.S. I love the restaurant you and your dad run! Keep up the great work.

Congrats! Thanks for the inspiration. 

Here is a link to an article that lists 20 books with short summaries on each.

Thanks for sharing this great story. I also think more short-term than long-term and I am working on creating a balance between the two. Good luck in your endeavors!

I am also in the newbie stage, but direct mail seems to be the most effective way to find leads. Pick a small farm area (1 area code) and get really familiar with the  types of homes, the prices they are selling for, etc and send yellow letters to absentee owners. Just focus on getting one deal done! Good luck.

My biggest challenge is being an introvert my whole life, I find it uncomfortable to talk to sellers over the phone. In my first direct mail campaign I was hesitant to call back potential leads. But, I did manage to call them back and was able to get more comfortable with talking to sellers, although I still need a little more practice. But I was satisfied that I took action even though I did not get any real leads. Hopefully in my next campaign I can get it done. Good Luck in your REI journey!

Hey Stephen,

Sounds like you are heading in the right direction. I think we are in similar paths in our REI journey. I too am working towards getting my first wholesale deal. No matter what never give up and stay focused! Good luck.

Welcome aboard!

From what I've been reading, you don't need an LLC to do your first few deals. Just put all your energy and focus on getting that first deal under your belt. Good luck!

I would just run my own comps. I believe it is simple to do and shouldn't take a long time.

Wow, congrats man! Thanks for the motivation.
