Nice I can post again :)

Great job @Ali Boone

I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome to BP @Frank Chirkinian

Apparently this article is the go-to on yellow letters. I've not read the whole thing myself but it's been floating around so thought I'd share it with you and others. Also here's this neat trick, you can create your own font from your own handwriting. here

Enjoy!

Long shot here, but send it as an email attachment to a gmail account and try opening it through Google Docs.

Hope it helps!

So much solid advice from those who are actually creating success for themselves. It can only be received if you're willing to hear it. Seems to me you're asking something you already know the answer to.

Even the gurus who now mooch off others worked extremely hard to get where they're at as @Jon Holdman mentions even those who do find success in their programs are very few in numbers and compiled together. Next time you watch one of those get rich quick infomercials look for the small print at the bottom of the screen that says something along the lines of, "Results not typical".

REI is a numbers game. Persistence is synonymous for success with regards to REI (and many other life goals, for that matter).

If you can't instantly make cash, what's the next best thing you can do? SAVE!

In other words, live within your means.

Do things like sell the car, take the bus or ride a bike, sell the home and/or move to a facility with lower rent, cut the cable/internet (use the public library) and this even includes letting others carry their own burden for a season. The question you need to ask yourself if you're morally struggling with this is, "How can you help others if you don't have the means to help yourself?" Focus on your development so you can help others with a firm foundation.

Do this in the hopes you can live within your means, save what you can, and if this doesn't drive you to success, I'm afraid nothing will.

Wish you the best.

Welcome to BP @Omi C.

You're off to a great start. And with great advice from people like @Joe Fairless

and other savvy investors, I'm confident you will do well. I would encourage networking with others. You can check out this upcoming BP meet up here if you're interested.

Much success to you.

Welcome to BP @Armaity N.

You've definitely hit he jackpot for resources with BP. If you're looking at lease-options I would recommend getting in touch with @Brian Gibbons .

From what I've seen he seems to be BP's one of many lease-option experts. He has blogs and quite a few postings I'm sure you can soak in. Good Luck with your endeavors and looking forward to see your progress.

You sir, have a case of the JOT syndrome. Jack of trades, learning a little bit of everything but mastering none.

Great news... You're not alone and you realized it and took the first step in taking action. Gratz and I officially welcome you to the BP forums.

There's a SoCal BP meet up being planned out, check it out here when you get the chance. Good luck and hope to see you around more.

@John Fedro Appreciate the kind words and your thoughts of success towards me. The more I look into MH investing, the more it just seems to make sense to me. You need very little cash, as opposed to other traditional REI methods and it has potential to provide a nice cash flow. Aside from wholesaling, this would be my best option to build Capital for future investments.

Learning about MH came just in the nick of time as I was just about to settle and stop trying to be a J.O.T. (jack of all trades) learning about everything but not mastering anything.

I really want to stick to one thing to put all my focus on and when successful, I can test the other waters while still having a foundation to lean on. So I'll learn all I can about MH investing.

@Account Closed should I ever decide to go through John's program, I'll be sure to post my progress and share with BP. I'll be as objective as possible if it comes to that.

Ouch @Brandon Turner , that would certainly make me *heated* hehe.. ahem...

I've no battle scars in the World War of REI just yet, but I'm not too proud to ignore solid advice.

So for me, lesson learned. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome (officially) to BP @Coty Leon

Always nice to see fellow SoCalians. I've no need to tell you how mass the wealth of knowledge is here nor how great the people are since you've lurked for quite some time. Hope to hear more from you and see your progress. As a matter of fact, @Ali Boone and many others are trying to plan a SoCal BP meet up. If you're interested check it out here when you get the chance.
