It just comes down to the relationships you establish with key people that can assist you with your venture.I was once told "Business is easy, people make it difficult"Over the years I have found this saying to be very 100% true.Get busy on the phone and email, ask questions, read books, attend seminars, (just leave your wallet at home lol).If you keep it at eventually you will see many doors will start opening and idea's will start flashing through your mind.Don't be afraid to invest further from where you live either.

We have found a home....great...older yet established neighborhood...very close to a booming area of our town.

When the rubber meets the road they owner gets real money establishing a true equitable interest that I can hold feet to the fire if they change their mind (at least to the extent of getting funds back to the buyer of motivating them to sell).BTW, options do not "tie up" a property, any property can be sold subject to that option being taken.

I have been looking at properties, but I am unsure of how to establish their actual value.

I've just graduated college and feel I have an unbelievable opportunity to get started working under a mentor I established a relationship with the previous summer.Anyways, I've found that reading relevant quotes fires me up more and more and gets me thinking about the grueling workload I'll be facing come January.Since we can all use a bit of motivation every now and then, below are some of my favorite quotes I've come across recently:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
