I've been looking on MLS for a few weeks and almost everything comes up with bad numbers for an investment property.I have a plan laid out for the next one, five, ten and fifteen years which includes acquiring small multi-families and holding them as a landlord.What are your tips on finding good deals and how do you boost your confidence to step out there and make that first buy?

I finally made the mental connection and asked if he was on Bigger Pockets.  

I commend you for having the investor mentality.

Should I change that mentality?

I have a page that shows our properties, what we are working on and what is available to buy or rent, and we have had a great response to a targeted FB post/boost, and thought maybe we could capitalize on that.Thoughts for not landing in hot water with the SEC?

On paper, this should boost the area - but will it affect commercial/industrial property?

Our group has an abundant mentality, there is enough for all of us and we like to help each other so the more the merrier!

And instead of continuing to wait around, I have signed up to go to a meeting with the local REIA while starting to set incremental goals for myself to reach all throughout the year.I know the wholesale business is difficult and I will most likely encounter way more rejections before I get to a yes...it is a grind, but I think I have the mentality to handle it from my previous work exp in sales, and I'm ready to jump in and get my hands dirty and struggle a lot at the beginning.If there are any local BP Members who would like to connect, share, chat, or just get a free cup of coffee, feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to make a new friend :)

I'll work on my 2017 goals over the next couple weeks, but it will probably be more on physical and mental improvement, as that is something I have neglected lately, and want to save cash for my own deal, as I'm probably done with being a passive investor for a while, but at least have Fannie Mae cred now. 

Maybe with the turtle - slow and steady mentality one day I can get a substantial income and keep all the profit for my hard work.I'm actually looking for land in rural areas to buy so I can put a mobile home on and resell owner finance that way.
