:-(any words of encouragement or advice out there for me?

Nick - I can't speak for our PRO members, but I can say that I encourage you to get in touch with those people that are checking you or your blog or your listings out.

Scott - There are plenty of great teachers/mentors out there, and BiggerPockets certainly encourages our members to seek out and find those that are reputable and knowledgeable.

These are monetary rewards even if the employee recieves more status instead of the money directly.So I do stand by the money motivator and encourage you to find out from the employee what HE wants and apply his "bonus" to him in that fashion.

Any advice, direction, encouragement or otherwise is greatly appreciated.

thanks jason...well i'm not in a lazy boy, i'm in a cheap uncomfortable chair at my computer "KNOWING" that my future isn't taken care of. all i can do is read and imagine that comfy chair in front of the nice desk in my own office where i will do my business from in the future :-) thanks to all for the encouragement.

Hi Douglas,thanks for the encouragment!

let us know I'm sure it will encourage some new wholesalers out there.

> > I am writing you to encourage you to vote NO on HR 1728, the "Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act".

Sure it is a bunch of legalize, mumbo jumbo but it is not too complicated.I have had students encourage me to get the word out to all my members, to write their Senator, hoping I can help stop the bill.
