I was close to borrowing $2000 to attend one of his 3-day classes until my research confirmed my inner voice warnings.

But here I am, desperate to get into Real Estate investing, however without the credit or the funds, I really needed a cash investor/investing partner.I received an email from a Bianca, who says she is Venezuelan and while she is fortunate to come from family money, she has a voice box in her throat and truly can only communicate via email and text. 

Some things I have done to prepare:- Set up google voice number- Start building a webpage- Contact Jerry and read through the supporting documents he provided (call scripts, lead trackers etc..)- Listened to 102 total BP podcasts (slowly working my way through them all)- Read UBG to wholesaling and several other forum threads / blog posts (Jerry / Michael Quarles are favorite two resources so far)Things I still need to do:- Send out first batch of letters- Finish website- As deals come in, find ways to automate / streamline lead sourcing and tracking- Improve ability to estimate rehab costs (my two rental properties were bought out of REO and cash flow nicely but needed <$5k of rehab each, so have not experience a  major reno yet)- Practice call script, objection handling etc.. to be better prepared for speaking with potential sellersI would greatly appreciate any insights from the seasoned vets out there.

I have a 135% "share of voice" and it claims my monthly estimated leads will be 24.

I've also posted some solid links at the bottom.Get LOCAL area code phone number that is easy to remember (google voice)Use number groups, repeating numbers or relevant words(760) 333-4444, (760) 111-7676, (760) 123-CASHCould substitute phone number for website, but I've heard phone is more successful IF you can actually make time to receive the calls and ask questions.Use demographics / data to determine your target market and appropriate messaging.

We have a website set up and a google voice.

On my way home from work I walked by a small mini "FSBO" sign and decided to walk afar off and contact the owner by text, since my phone doesn't have voice recording.

Bad organization, no tone influx in his voice (enthusiasm), missing calls, crumbling under mild pressure, didn't care about his personal development, and bottom line--he was letting serious buyers and renters go left and right.

Our goal is to operate as a professional business, so ideally, we would like to make the following changes:-Have a company name, so that I can be “Jesse with ____ Properties,” rather than Jesse the owner and landlord-Have a business phone line (google voice)-Use a PO Box.

The trick is to use these activities (research, reading (knowledge), and analysis) to counteract the inner negative voice telling you otherwise.
