Hello Isaiah!
First thing you must do: Be careful of what you put into the atmosphere...as long as you say you can't...the universe will give you more of 'you can't'. Secondly, i was strapped as well, single mother of 2 children. I had absolutely nothing to give, paycheck to paycheck, account constantly in the negative. Once i became tired, of being tired, i took $125 of bill money, registered my LLC, called about 50 title insurance officers before i came across 1 that understood wholesale/assignee contracts, and he agreed to come on board. Just so happens that his wife is a lawyer. I created my Assignee contract by listening to people like Cameron Dunlap, Cody Sperber, Bigger Pockets, Periscope, You Tube, and lots of books. I'm a visual person, so no matter how many books I'd read, I knew i would only learn by going out in the field. So i found 80 bucks, subscribed to Zbuyer (they send you leads according to the counties you want to work in), i found a probate property, had no clue as to what was happening while I spoke with the wonderful lady. (Her parents passed away and left a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, single family home to her that she wanted to just get rid of.) I started going to the REIA meeting in my area that's held twice per month. They taught me the formula on the numbers, how to look at comps, etc. (By the way, these meeting are free, and full of investors and cash buyers just waiting for someone like myself, to pitch them great offers.) So with my system set up, I spoke with the seller, met her at the property, walked thru the property, called her later, closed her on the numbers, met the next day to sign my contract, took it to my title officer, found a cash buyer in the meeting (whom I've sold 2 other properties to), received a 2,000 earnest money deposit because he wanted the property, and closed in 2 weeks, receiving an assignment of $7500 total. If you listen to alot of investors, noone knew what they were doing the first time. Also, if you're intention is so strong on getting out of debt, either you will make it happen, or you'll keep making excuses. Good luck Isaiah, and I believe in you...Because once you get to that point, where you can't take it anymore, you're perception will change, and it will change your life. Good luck Buddy! If I can do it, anyone can!
