I got a lot of un-motivated sellers, but I enjoyed the fact that I was making progress in learning.

i truely appreciate it. building this plan has proven to be extreamly daunting and i am just now realizing how much of this industry i am ignorant about. as a matter of fact i was at my desk last night untill about 2am getting ready to pull my hair out bc i am unhappy with the progress i have made over the past 4 monsht on my plan. i feel like i am spinning wheel at this point.

Compliance requirements are so extensive no Broker will ever be in full compliance therefore if trust deed investor suffers a loss, recovery is a virtual guarantee, as long as Broker has dough.Most Brokers will have trust deed investor fill out required Department of Real Estate form, put it in the file without ever looking at it and everything will be fine until they aren't fine.

I've thought about doing multifamilies later, after I learn the ropes, for cashflow purposes, but essentially right now I'm going to learn as much as possible and progress into flips to build up a bit more investment money.

I'll be honest I forget what the tax implication of it was and why our CPA had us doing that (We since dissolved that company in 2011 via our planned exit strategy. woo woo)@Steve Hamilton II can probably tell me why :)As for hourly earnings, I didn't quite mean I had calcualted an exact number in my head, again, that was probably the drugs slurring my clarity :D I know what I make per month, I know roughly what 'potential' contracts are on my table and therefore have a rough idea of the 'value' of my time, which I agree with Terry P. is good to know - if nothing else than as a measuring stick of how things are progressing and if there's need for change in strategy or if I am growing at my expected rate of returns.So there we have it, a series of slightly different ways to look at things.I was just saying that the actual value of my time is kept off the books.

The other property (B) is in state, but we had to go to the property daily to check on the progress, sometimes spent some time onsite to fix small things.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress, so keep us updated!
