Since I am new to this I would love to find some local players to bounce ideas off of or even partner with on my first few deals.

I like the idea and want to bounce a little variation off of you tying it back to BP.The sharing and collaborating between everyone may end up being the best part of your idea so everyone else can see it as well.

Hi Jason Cano,One of my personal friends is Brian Rodgers out of Hutchinson,Kansas.He is my age in his 30's and has sold over a billion in real estate volume.We are part of a group where there is not a GURU or any of that crap.We are all equals and bounce ideas off the group in a private setting not open to the public to push boundaries and grow our business to higher levels.Some mentioned Proctor and others and Brian was teaching stuff before him.He was the second person to teach call capture systems and creations behind Terry Hunefeld.He is the only one I know that when challenged on his technology sold over 318 properties in one year using one assistant.These squeeze pages and all of the stuff he was doing way before then as lead capture pages.Whoever you learn from make sure they are cutting edge and not just repackaging crap and selling it.The stuff I see today is just rehashed stuff ripped off from the true innovators.The funny thing is that by the time they have copied you on one thing you are 5 steps ahead of them with new things they do not even know about.Brian mainly works on his technology companies these days and is not actively selling this year.You first need to DEFINE Jason what KIND of life you want??

I'd start with the bounce back 'return to sender' letters you're getting.

Raquel Baranow thanks for the advice, usually when a letter bounce back, if USPS put a new address on it, I'll just put the letter in a new envelope and send it to the new address, if there is no further info.

Those folks and the community have been hit hard but bouncing back. 

You will see I have bounced around with ideas. 

Were you in it for cash flow, or just holding on till the prices bounced back up?

No they bounce.
