We so desperately want to take the first step.

Most of the podcasts, blogs, and/or books that talk about starting out, mention steps like analyze 100 first or go see 50 houses first and it seems realtors get bored when you constantly ask for comps but aren't ready to buy, either because you're getting your education or the deal turns out not to be a deal (which you don't know until you analyze it with a good ARV lol) ...

After researching online the steps bank takes to foreclose, I'm wondering if they've filed a notice of default.

I have some funds saved because I was thinking of purchasing my first home and came accross some videos on youtube about getting the best deals on houses.After continuing to watch many videos and read material I think this is something Inwould like to take my first steps into.

I am still trying to get my first transaction/client, and ultimately my goal is build leverage from my initial deals to generate more leads and more business to make a full transition into running my own RE practice.

Plus...escape velocity...Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady adviceEpisode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k Last but not least, I also recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs on the BP Podcast.

I have studied materials and I’m focused on taking the necessary steps for my next deal.

It sounds like even now, firms are taking liberties in defining what are reasonable steps in determining if its investors are accredited.
