I would just like some guidance as to where I could/should be focusing my energy!

I should just fall to the ground and thank my lucky stars I was able to slip through the cracks of the system, in all those states, for all those years, with all those properties and all those notes.

But, most new office building projects are being built/proposed in the Energy Corridor, off I-10 outside the Beltway to Fry Rd.

I think that ultimately, though, that would be a bit drastic for me (I hate to reverse course after all the time and energy invested in them).

If your real passion is to pursue an entrepreneurial venture, I would focus your time and energy on that.

But you've got to be prepared to spend a fair bit of energy property hunting, and be ready to pounce quickly.

Of course, I still have lots of energy and still like lots of action every day, but now I evaluate that differently that I did when I was 25.Thanks for any comments or suggestions you may have.Russ H

This results in maybe 1 to 2 deals the first year even if they are a dud in creating additional business.The first 10 years as an agent goes usually like this.First 3 years is 80% new business and 20% from your existing sphere of influence.Next 3 years is about 50% new business and 50% repeat business.Next 4 years is about 20% new business and 80% repeat business.It's not that you aren't getting new business it's that by now you have a group of people that you know and want to work with on a daily basis and do not want the ONE OFF deals that take a bunch of your time and energy.

I've owned a short sale fixer upper for 5 years and aside from major renovations I planned on when I bought, I've never had to spend that much for upkeep.The deal seems like it's worth the effort to me provided the typical house buying stars align.

I suggest listening to the most recent BP Podcast starring said wholesaler.
