@Matt Castle I wish I spent more time initially getting my contacts organized and doing a better job at following up with people not only to let them know what I do but genuinely catching up for old time sake, I also should have started with a larger brokerage to learn their processes/workflows, then I could have  applied those steps to my own Brokerage.

What an inspiration.  

Currently looking for a property to househack further north along the Blue Line and this gave me some inspiration.

They would rather you be genuine and ask your questions, if they are a good agent, they understand the importance of good information and will be happy to talk to you.Browse BP for some Agents in the area you want to invest, send them an email with your honest questions.

I've got cash reserves and I've begun looking for another house to buy as my primary.I must say I'm very excited but also a little bit nervous to take this next step.Thanks to BP for being a wealth of inspiration up to this point and in the future.I've already paid for a membership at ezlandlord forms and have those documents in order.

I am currently in the process of going through Brandon Turner's The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth and Passive Income Through Smart Buy & Hold Real Estate Investing and it has really inspired me to take action and learn by doing. 

I was greatly inspired by reading these books to learn more about real estate investment and how I can set myself up to begin my journey as a real estate investor as soon as possible. 

Great work, and very inspiring!

Not trying to sound like a jerk, genuinely curious.

Either she is truly genuine, or an extraordinary liar.
