LOL. @Jon Klaus.  All I hear in my head now is "Awesome. Great, great advise."  Unfortunately I found the podcast/website about 3 days AFTER I signed up for a guru course. But any info I can pull in to move forward I'll take.

@Brandon Turner

 I'm actually listening to the #askbp podcast as I'm typing this. Just thrilled I remembered it and now have about a day's more content to hear. Then the real depression will set in.

Guess I'll have to re-listen to Rich Dad, Poor Dad or start up The One Thing.

I started listening to the podcasts about 5 1/2 weeks ago and listened to all 132 in that time. Just finished up #132 and now I'm sad. But I can't even say how much they have helped me with getting over some mental hurdles and giving me the mojo to get out there and get that first deal going. Just sent out my first round of direct mail. The list was gathered from essentially driving for dollars. Very small list but without the podcasts I'm not sure I would've known exactly where to start and where to go.

Now I've gotta wait a week at a time just like everyone else for my podcast fix.

Thanks for the great content @Josh Dorkin and @Brandon Turner

just heard @Nasar Elarabi, l heard your podcast today. AWESOME stuff man. Now l believe, barring more tragedy from my own rental, l'll be making the trip up just so l can meet ya my man. Hands down one of my top 5 favorite podcasts. I've only got 2 more to listen to. All 132 in less than 6 weeks. 

yeah. They feel horrible about the whole thing and are offering to help as much as possible. 

yup. Looks like it's a no go. Guess l'll be learning flooring, drywall, plumbing and insulation now. Yaaaay.

i got a chair. Lol. Man l really wanna make the 4 1/2 hr ride to meet some actionable people. 

So my tenant calls me and says there's mold in the bathroom. Awesome.

I go by the house to see what the issue is and low and behold, there is in fact mold in the bathroom. So I start investigating the issue. This is a mobile home(modular for the prideful) so I can get underneath it easily. Look inside the crawlspace and I see water dripping from the A/C airhandler area. Walk around to the drain and nothing's coming out. Run home and grab the shop vac and commence trying to unclog this thing. LUCKILY it worked and I got the clog fixed.

Call the ServPro guys to come out and look at remediation. They come out 2 days later and tell me the A/C drain is not my problem. WHAT!!!!?

They tell me the wall in the Laundry room is soaked, getting ready to cave in. This wall is the backside of the bathroom with the mold. Wonderful. The insulation below the house between the frame rails is looking really similar to a whales belly after day 6 of being beached.

My tenant is my sister(I know, I know) and she and her new husband realize this whole ordeal is their fault. When her husband installed the washer hoses, he didn't tighten them down enough. She's called her rental insurance company and they tell her it's a liability claim.

Is this the right course or should I file a claim with MY insurance company?

I'm just South of you in North Georgia and I'd love to come and sit in and just learn, talk, chat, whatever. Extremely new to REI. Please keep us updated on time and place specifics. Plus, any excuse I can get to visit Charlotte I'll take. I love that city. So clean and nice.

I'm a member of his program. I wish I had found bigger pockets first but I had already signed up when I found it. So once I close my first deal I'll report back and let you know if I find the program to be worth it. I have actually listened to Phil in one of the coaching calls. The program so far seems supportive but when I actually start producing leads we'll see how much "work" they actually put in for their 50% of the profits. So far nothing negative to report but we'll see.

@Anthony Franks, definitely.

@Omar J, l actually just found out about Google voice tonight on a coaching call. I'll be starting on that and some other stuff tonight. Thanks for the tip!!
