I went ahead and purchased it because it was not thousands of $, so far i like the information given, it seems basic so far and I probably could have figured it out for myself but I am not interested in wasting time. right now I am waiting on FL to acknowledge my LLC before I post anything. I have gone through all the modules though and I have learned some things I did not know. For that alone I think it is worth it, I will report back once I start implementing each marketing method. Good luck

Thanks guys i appreciate
Ned Carey Thanks Ned I will definitely check those out and leave a comment

Brandon Turner Love it and so basically stroke the ego? j/k He seems genuine but I will do my due diligence.

Jim Wineteer ha I might be on that level with you, will it be inappropriate to record the meeting?

Thanks again and BP has proved to be a valuable resource, I love it.

Keep on truckin y'all.

I recently purchased this system and am currently implementing my google+ page and so far it has taught me things I did not know before, we will see I have come to learn with anything you get out of something what you put in. i will keep you posted as to the results from this system. I figured purchasing this system would point me in the right direction at least as far as online marketing goes and so far i have no complaints no leads yet but I like the info. Good luck

So i was driving back from the lady's house today and decided to check out this house that had a crew working on windows. I decided to stop and start chatting anyone up I could, knowledge is power, right? The owner of the business was there doing work and we ended up talking for almost 3 hours while he drove me around to his recently sold properties. He was very informative and provided helpful tips. This gentlemen has been in the REI business for 25+ yrs and he appears to have everything in place as far as rehabbing costs and gameplan together. I have a meeting with him and his team I guess this coming monday. He also took me to several properties that he is interested in buying and it really got me fired up. I believe everything happens for a reason. I am looking for a mentor and i got a really good vibe from this guy does anyone have any suggestions how I should go about this? i.e questions to ask, how I can be valuable to him?

The Saga continues ...

Anything helps, thanks.

does anybody have any experience with this system? opinions? anything helps, thanks!

Chris Sweeney solid advice I will follow up on this one in a month or so.

Jon Holdman that is a great way to look at, I will keep that in mind as I am going through the process.

thanks guys!

so I sent out my first batch of mailers and got what I thought was a motivated seller. The owners indicated that they were going to be moving out of state, so I set up an appointment for today and a couple hours before the appointment the owner cancelled. The Owner stated the house would be paid off in 6 years and want to give it to their daughter. I responded by asking them to keep my number and give me a call if they have a change of heart. Is there anything I could have done differently in this situation to keep them interested? I am disappointed to say the least but this is my business and need to not get emotionally invested. The search continues for my first deal ...
I need to keep in mind this is a numbers game and persistence will pay off. thanks for any advice.

Thanks everyone for the info,
Debi Dunkerley I am glad I put a smile on your face, I thought the subject would grab people's attention

Ned Carey I will check out the blog, thanks

Michael Quarles that was along my line of thinking but I have some serious thinking to do

I will keep y'all posted as to my progress.

I am starting out and have not done a deal yet but it will happen. I purchased an inheritance list along with yellow letter mailers, the first batch will go out soon. Wholesaling seriously interests me and I am determined to find my first deal. I need to work for myself. My interest in REI was peaked when my father visited me in St. Pete, FL. He runs a Remax office in northern NJ, he has been in the RE industry for 30 plus years and has rehabbed a few properties here and there, anyway he noticed the values of some of these homes and the comps and asked if I would be interested in overseeing some rehab projects. At first I was skeptical but then said why the hell not and go for it. I started reading everything. My father has cash by the way. Then I discovered wholesale real estate. Assigning contracts, bringing two people together for a deal and receiving a check, basically, sounds great to me. I know there is much hard work involved and I am prepared to do that. I want to build something of my own. I want to ultimately run a successful REI business with passive streams of income, some rehabs, wholesale deals everything. I am getting ahead of myself, I believe I need to focus on one area at a time and eventually grow. I am looking for any help. My father and I have looked into avenues such as buying a homevestors franchise, looking into mentoring programs etc. basically to help me break into the business and show me what to look for when inspecting a property, how to price things, value property, knowing the local market etc., my father can help with the negotiating techniques and he himself in his ripe old age will always learn. Ideally, I think a local mentor would be money well spent. At the same time I think all these programs are full of it and I can learn all this stuff on my own. I do not know what direction is best for me but I have already committed to the mailers and will try some OTJ training. Any advice is welcomed.

also i am trying to figure out the best way to set up an LLC properly catered to real estate investing, how to not get thrown in jail next Wesley Snipes because of taxes, set up a squeeze page that I am beginning to learn about basically everything. I want to shorten my learning curve but I find it hard to justify spending all that money on programs etc. anyway BP seems like a great resource, thanks for reading.
