I tried to keep accurate track of the hours on this specific deal, but if you count all of the hours and dollars I've spent over the years on real estate education, evaluating deals, making real estate contacts and even surfing Bigger Pockets, the numbers wouldn't look so sexy.Someone asked Tim Ferris (4-hour workweek) once how he was able to do all his personal reading, blogging and networking in just 4 hours a week.

It has obviously proven to be wrong but I cannot take back what is already done.I have my demo permit and I have dumpsters sitting on the property.

You are defenetly on the right track looking at other leases, have you tried nolo.com

OK How do I fast track it to say Orlando areas, Jacksonville?

Keeping track of the regulations, highway taxes, permits for the types of hauling you're doing, drivers logs, and paying the costs of insurance and fuel makes it a tough way to earn a living.

Additionally and unfortunately, your lack of track record most likely precludes you from having any serious shot at putting together an investment partnership or syndication.

A particular duplex I'm looking at is located south of the tracks, east of James, and north of Refugee.

The bigger banks will want a track record of successful rental income on the property before they will let you use it as collateral; the perfect catch 22 for someone looking to get started.

Prices are dropped every 30 days or so most often, so you can track and anticipate when that will happen.

I'd love to keep track of your progress- I visit Charleston frequently and have considered it but have not found any opportunity better than those available to me locally.
