I pay about $7 a linear foot for 4 feet high, installed with gates.

Great idea Ted but be prepared to purchase it at full BPO price if you buy it right out the gate.

Begind the double door were two double chain link gates that would swing out.

I feel your pain guy..Hang in there..I think Eddie is right on the money about the focus..This business requires a laser like focus and it's really easy to get swayed when things don't happen as fast as you're expecting them to.I came charging out of the gate all excited after taking a bunch of expensive guru course's on wholesaling(i'm too embarrassed to say how much I've spent on them) and quickly realized it's not so easy (here in So-cal anyway),then I started bouncing all over and now I'm back at square one,but I know lots more than I did before and now I can use all that frustration and disappointment to design a better, more focused, more appropriate business plan..Without that it's like driving without a map..who knows where you'll end up...Jason has been very helpful to me with advice as have a quite few others on here and at local REI meetings..I highly doubt there are too many successful people who weren't in your shoes at one point and almost gave up..but they didn't.. and that's why they are where they are now...Find your niche ASAP and work it...work it..work it..One day you will find yourself where you want to be..someone out there needs help..you can be the one who helps them...there is a forum post on Motivation quotes on BP..Have a read through them when you're doubting yourself..this was one of them."

Right out of the gate, you have another $359 on top of your $1200 which leaves you $41 per month.

However, if the flood gates are open and people see the money coming, they will start purchasing.

It is in a new neighborhood, in a gated sub division with a private lake, golf courts and parks.

Build a gate around the community (ideally 50-100 homes) and create a sign in the front, and make it into a "gated community"; one entrance, and hire a security officer (this would be AFTER it actually got up on its feet).

I built some 4br rental homes to keep it flowing, AND convinced the City to allow me to gate the 2 entrances and make it a gated community.

The fact of the matter is, is that the likes of Steve Jobbs and Bill Gates are college dropouts that made it big.So, don't tell me that a degree and more experience entitles you to more money.If your logic holds, only PhD's in the Computer Engineering should be able to come up with the coolest tech gadgets.
