., but I think many of the local agents are busy thinking about closing their deals and not really motivated to help find something.Anyways, I'm a newbie with a fairly substantial amount of cash to invest. 

^Incredible answer.Doesn’t matter particularly if you add other components (operation, tax benefits, development/construction,  etc) or what type of real estate asset you do it on.

@David Krulac That is incredible.

Hi Jim,So you know what you need to do, but bounce around all day....Does that get it done, or are you doing other things like watching Bonanza on YouTube all day.If it's getting done, then you'll only need to make some small changes (if at all).If something like the Cartwright's on YouTube, Hoss, Adam, Ben and Little Joe are wasting your "DAY" time...then you have a motivational issue to overcome.But lets put it in Simple Terms here, You are the "New Hire" on this job, and the Boss simply gave a project to complete--a big one, and no direction as to HOW to do it.Everyone works differently.

If you are looking to invest into real estate, I have found this site to be incredibly helpful. 

This deal was purchased below market value as it needed minor work and the sellers were motivated to sell.

Congratulations on making this REI journey happen for yourself as well that’s motivating to hear.

The eagerness to share with and help each other succeed is incredible.

I hope it will give me more motivation and knowledge than just rewatching all the YouTube videos.

Have ALL of your ors in the water, do/setup marketing in many channels (SMS, post card, PPC), learn how to carve out lists that target motivation that you want.
