@Aaron Dean congratulations Aaron!! I am looking to start and get my first deal done. I’ve Been stuck on this for almost a year and I’ve been so he’ll hesitant on pulling the trigger. I would love the help!

Thanks MoNique! I will 

Thank you Geordy! This is my first time actually pulling the trigger and going after this . I’ve been hesitant for 6 months now ( wish I wasn’t ) but better late than never. Thanks again!

Sorry if this is a stupid question to ask but when is it a good time to pull comps? For instance, As of now I have a list of 20 leads written down on paper. For my marketing strategy I will be sending out direct mail to all 20 possible deals. However, should I run comps for all 20 leads or just run comps after I get a response?

 This is what i'm currently going through! I been learning and reading books for 6 months now and still haven't made a move. I am so disappointed in my self because I thought I would have done a deal by now. Can you please give me some advice. Thank you ! 

@David Zheng this is very inspiring David ! Congratulations on your success ! I one day wish to write a post on BiggerPockets saying the same things you just mentioned. Thanks for the spark !

Thank you for the advice ! I will definitely take all of this into consideration and pull the trigger as soon as possible. I will definitely keep in contact and update you as I go. 

I don’t own a home as of now but I do hope to have my first investments property sometime this year. Since The NYC market is so expensive and competitive I am looking into wholesale deals in NJ and upstate New York. My current job is a courier ( independent contractor) work. Not a w2 job which allows me to have a flexible schedule. 

@Frank Patalano

I had this question stuck on my mind for a few months now . I discovered real estate investing in late December And have been hooked on ever since. I’m holding back on two reasons 1) I want to make sure I know what I’m doing , so in order for me to “pull the trigger” I want to educate myself as much as possible. I am currently reading Brandon Turner’s book “ investing in real estate with no and low money down”. Few days ago I’ve finished rich dad poor dad and I am gaining momentum ( confidence) as I go with educating myself.

2) I am intimidated by my market. I am in NYC ( the Bronx ) to be specific and everything in my area is between 300-800k. What would you recommend me doing first as a new investor so I can FINALLY pull the trigger and be on my way to finacial freedom ?

@James Gates congratulations ! And thanks for sharing your story. I’ve been listening to BP podcasts and educating myself on wholesaling for 3 months now. I am so hesitant to pull the trigger. I am in NY.
