One of my favorite quotes is from a Civil War General (Stonewall Jackson)    "Never take counsel of your fears".... 

This career blends multiple of my favorite things: I love renovating and have renovated several properties on the side through the years.

My votes are never to sway a favorite member.That's just me but stick around and I think you'll find there are no such issues.As to Michael's comments, BP is great and has better info than probably any one person can dole out, but many just can't read and do, a mentor on a persoanl level in a specific deal can't be replaced by any book, tape, CD, forum or phone call for that matter....IMOBP is worth more than any guru program I know of as to content, so get all you can for free, just takes a little effort.

My favorite was the Detroit Renegades.

What are your favorites? 

we havent had much luck with co's like RedX or our Title rep providing good contact info , we recently engaged with a co that pulls data for wholesale, as the wholesale crowd seems to be getting through , hopefully that will help for circling prospecting and geo farming; we are starting a circle around our up coming listing, the listing will be priced at $500k and should stay below 600k, it'll be one of if not the least expensive livable detached home near civilization in the county by a big margin ,that should generate some activity; fingers crossed sounds great, my favorite circle prospect script is the Just Sold: "hey mr owner, I just wanted to let you know we just sold a home on 123 main st and guess what?

I've been through it I know the process I know the procedure I know how to help and I know how to actually have them succeed instead of failing or going back to their old life because they feel like they can't make it because of no help or guidance from that house and also when you don't have food and you're in the recovery house and halfway houses will give you food will have house food sober houses are different because they don't have much food for the house you have to provide that yourself and you don't have clothes it's all very stressful and figuring it out with no help on the outside world sucks but I would only make one meeting a week and the rest of the time I would make them do the nightly meetings daily meetings with the house have it set up where they have to work on themselves daily Yes they do have to find jobs during certain times during the day and be productive and show their productiveness every day and where they applied and what they did and have other programs other people available 10 agencies whatever can be agencies temp agencies to assist in putting those persons in a job right away at least have something to focus on I couldn't find a job in Pennsylvania I applied everywhere nobody wanted to hire me so there's a lot to this scenario but three to five meetings a week is ridiculous because that takes up too much I'm an energy I would focus on another route another way of making them successful and making them educate themselves in another way instead of focusing on the addiction because then you want to go back to using 

Chicago is MIXED BAG of general contractors and architects PLEASE be sure not to rush or use the cheap guys...one of my favorite sayings (that I have learned the hard way):"BEING CHEAP IS EXPENSIVE"
