You have to send letters religiously and a) make phone calls to follow up and b) be available when a motivated seller calls YOU.

I have been reading BP religiously learning and reading and still trying to figure things out, but the question I have is I have a co- worker that probably need to sell her Mom house that is located on Puerto Rico.  

I am new to this and religiously educationg myself, and curious about what is possible in this market.

I love to get some feedback from highly driven, self-motivated, top performers in their industry.What time do you wake up every morning (religiously)?

I am trying to reduce the risk involved in having the condo completely vacant.I have been listening to the BP podcast religiously, read rich dad poor dad, notes are 10 plus pages deep, and have been analyzing a few properties in my spare time.I am looking to build a relationship with a realtor, broker, and or wholesaler in the Murrieta Temecula area to make my first purchase a reality.

Hello Bigger Pockets,I've been listening to the podcasts religiously for the last couple of months.

Are there background/credit/income checks for organizations; specifically religious ones? 

Now that I’m probably 3/4 or so to fi, I don’t care about materialistic things anymore (my wife and kids might), I’m concerned with providing a job for my contractor, an amazing home for a 65 year old minority man, a place to go for a struggling 8 year old soccer player and his mother, painting graffiti off dilapidated houses in areas that need leaders etc. 

It can be a loss leader, but it has other goals than just money.Your goals to determine the size of your space, how much you should invest in the space, and how you should design and prelease the space.

Examples: Instead of getting general admission tickets to a concert, you'll be able to buy back-stage access and meet the artistInstead of going out to your local dollar-beer night on Thursdays, you could afford to go out and get bottle service (if that's your thing) Instead of going to Chipotle for lunch religiously, you could take all of your close friends to a more expensive restaurant on you- without having to think about itInstead of backpacking across Europe and eating ramen the whole time, you'll be able to travel comfortably and experience whatever intrigues you, passing up on nothing (again, if that's your thing)These are just quick examples off of the top of my head, as they are the things that I myself end up 'passing' on most frequently.
