Using the remaining capital as down payments on several properties.Option 2 - Steering away from out of state and investing locally in NYC/NJ.

I made a few changes to steer it away from “HEY IM A VET!”

I mentioned I had written down all my goals so I thought I would just share them with my new community of investors to see if anyone can perhaps steer me in the right direction.

I’ve got a list of some subs if you need any, I’ve also got a few I’ll steer you away from.

This is important and you shouldn't look for free advice from strangers that are likely to steer you wrong.

But the chickens do come home to roost, so it's better to steer clear of conduct like that. 

(Here I would ask a big open-ended question like, "What can you tell me about the property, etc" .. but always end with a question, that's how your steer the conversation always end with a question) That's my experience to start a cold call conversation, and move past that objection- and the owner not wanting to build rapport. move forward, depending on the personality type, any opportunity presented, when the homeowner leaves off the main topic line, never interrupt, that is your chance to start to build rapport, and get to know him/her, and talk about non-property issues/ topics.

With all of that said I’m really good with machinery (backhoe, trackhoe, trenchers, direction boring, skid steer, etc) I’m also pretty handy when it comes to work around the house.

It all starts with having the right team you can trust to steer you correctly.   

I personally love the property and might be letting my own emotion steer me towards holding and renting.
