Listening to Clayton Morris' podcasts after finding his company Morris Invest on Facebook and having viewed a lot of his videos on YouTube is what motivated me join and look into real estate investing further.That being said, the biggest obstacle I face is not having the cash on hand to do my first deal, and not having any private money connections as of yet.Also, from what I've read of Morris Invest here on BP, there seems to be not enough people with experience dealing with this company, or when I do read of people that have had experiences with Morris Invest, the reviews are mixed at best.Being brand new to all of this however, it seems going the turnkey route seems less complicated in the beginning than trying to reinvent the wheel and do everything myself, but that's just my opinion.Learning to analyze deals and the underlying math involved and understanding the terminology is going to take practice, but is the foundation to a successful REI career.

So my lesson learned is direct mail may be a proven method and may not need reinvention of the wheel here. 

I'm glad to be a resource to you so you're not reinventing the wheel.Like you, my first investment in Utah was a smaller townhouse in West Jordan.  

Hard to tell......I don't believe in reinventing the marketing wheel but I do believe in making it better and more professional for our industry. 

I broker my HELOCs to TCF bank specifically because they will accept Fannie and Freddie's standard methods of calculating DTI (which your local credit union obviously is not) instead of re-inventing the wheel, with the only deviation being that they will calculate their own debt obligation more conservatively (which makes sense given that it's an interest only product in 2nd lien position). 

Why reinvent the wheel.

Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel if someone had something worth reusing.

Fortune Builders believe in Not re-inventing the wheel when you don't have to because they have already done all the hard work and went through the pain and mistakes and everything has been made so much easier for you.  

Hi, yas, i can do a sampling exercise, just wondering if this had been done before so i dont need to reinvent the wheel.

No sense 're-inventing the wheel' from scratch if credible sources are already doing this work.Personally, I'm interested in comparing the following US markets:Phoenix, AZTucson, AZCharlotte, NCCharleston, SCPortland, ORDallas, TXAnd while it's of less importance, I'm also curious about conditions in the following Central American markets:BelizeCosta RicaPanamaThanks, Scott...
