Keep us posted on your progress.

I think you will continue to find the site to be a wonderful resource that can help you progress in your REI endeavors!

If you decide to do something on a property needing repairs, make sure the seller or joint venture (jv) partner will video the property in as-is state and do some progress videos.

My goal is to network with like minded people, seek mentorship, help others progress in their investment career, and DO DEALS!

So when they talk about mentor ship make sure they are going to be checking up on you every week to guide your progress and help you succeed

You should consider starting a blog to document your progress as you continue along the process to help others that may come after you avoid the pitfalls that you may have found yourself in.I'm originally from Southwestern, CT and it's good to see other members here from our state.Be sure to let us know how the selling end of the deal works for you.

Let us know how it progresses!
