I think you are definitely in the right track there.

There is almost no chance they will pay $15k+ to get back on track and they likely won't even try to keep up on payments going forward because they already have a negative judgment. 

I knew that was an expensive route but the ease of doing business was worth it as I’m still developing a track record etc.

@Mike NeubauerI live in southern Mesa and am planning to get into Real Estate soon and would be willing to do any grunt work that you would be willing to outsource.I'm pretty young (16) but I already have a little real estate experience including analyzing properties and working a couple contracting jobs (that are allowing me to be on track for listening to every BP podcast before the end of the year) I would particularly love helping to find deals but I would be willing to do pretty much any work in order to get some hands-on knowledge.

Am I on the right track?

Tracking all.

@CJ S.Mojo triple line dialer integrated with CallRail numbers for tracking.

Unfortunately, raising money in a hurry is problematic.Potential investors don’t really know your track record or abilities, and it takes time to build a relationship with them.

Setup a spreadsheet to log your receipts, so that you can track the total that you spend. 

@Adam Martin It is just easier to track with similiar due dates for everyone.
