@Mike Cowper dang, sounds like I should have responded yesterday :). Feel free to message with any questions or thoughts jay came from being down here yesterday. Happy to help when and how I can!

@Mike Cowper I’m new to the game, but not new to building businesses from scratch! I’m down here in Lincoln though my schedule is a bit too full to make it put to Omaha before Saturday, I’d be happy to find time for a phone call, or if you were going to be in Lincoln at any point on Friday we could connect. I grew up outside Omaha, so I’d be able to give you some perspective on both cities. As with anywhere in the country, both Lincoln and Omaha are orettt hot right now. Most really good SFR Inly last a day In MLS and most flIps, rentals, and small multis are priced so hIgh they barely make sense... again, I know thats how most the country Is, and as with anywhere there are still some deals to be had. Look forward to connecting soon! zh

@Ned Carey thanks for stopping by and sharing! I think you are spot on. There is a huge difference between information gathering and physically taking action in the field per-say. I am one of those newbies right now, but I’ve been working diligently to find that first deal, combing MLS, Craigslist ads of my own, driving neighborhoods and sending out mailers, dragging my agent and contractor to houses so we can all be on the same page when we do find a good one. And I received two responses this week from mailers and one sounds very promising, I’m actually meeting the owner today to walk his 4 properties. Again, thanks for commenting and for making BP a better place with all the advice you share!

After hearing that my 90-year-old grandfather, who now relies on a motor scooter most days to get around, just returned from a trip to obtain continuing education in order to his civil engineering license active, I realized how silly the excuses we create for ourselves truly are...

If he still has that kind of fire at 90, how much should I have today in my 20's! His drive to stay active, his mind sharp and keep his license just-in-case a neighbor down the hall at his retirement home ever wants to invest in a new housing development! :) 

It begs the question, what's your excuse for not taking action today? Too tired? Too busy? Or just too lazy and worried you might fail? 

I know for a fact my grandfather failed along the way, but that didn't stop his former firm from being responsible for 65% of the new housing developments in his city during a housing boom in 1960's or lead him to hang up his hat and call it quits 30 years ago like others his age.

Take action, you may fail, but you failed forward and you're now ready to get back up and take more massive action. (You should read The 10X Rule if you haven't).

And maybe one day you'll be the retired real estate investor at a retirement home who has a killer development deal for the 90-year-old civil engineer who never quit taking action either.

@Andrew Miner, @Jace Peters 

Let me know if those messages didn't go through. My computer freaked out and posted that other comment twice and now I don't see those direct messages I sent you guys.

Thanks!

@Andrew Miner , @Jace Peters :

Let's make it happen soon. Though I hesitate to be in the same room with a Chiro and PT.

Sounds like we are all on a similar path and came maybe help get each other off the ground. I love creating win-win partnerships in life.

I'll drop each of you a message and we can get something put together.

@Jace Peters I’m just getting kicked off myself and sounds like we are on a similar path and timeline. Happy to grab a drink or lunch someday and talk shop! -Zach
