I’ve been pursuing the obvious – albeit less satisfying – career path by looking for my next leadership role in a healthcare organization.

Since then, I've maintained communication with my mentor, signed up for my RE classes which start tomorrow night, have sat down with 4 potential private money lenders, 2 of have given me a verbal "i'm on board" and have begun picking out 3 towns that seem to be good areas for fix and flips.If you had asked me a few months ago what my plans were, I would tell you what a majority of newbies say which is "I want to invest in real estate and make a lot of money!"

It also calls for a lot on organization on my part by keeping a good and thorough record of events (gas mileage, operating expenses, meals, etc...) that are incurred for the business.

I'm organizing a meetup in Orlando next month if you're interested.

I'm not terribly computer savvy, so always looking for a great way to stay organized in my business.

I hope everyone is having a prosperous and successful week.I am getting into real estate investing and have begun working with investors.

I am very determined to get involved in RE and I figured now is the time to make an account and start getting to know some people.I am currently just starting graduate school at CSU in organic chemistry, but I am not sure if I am going to continue or not.

Here's the issue that organizers have to think about no matter the field:Who do we want to speak?
