I'm also attending real estate seminars, reading real estate books, and taking a real estate course, but I know the real lessons are in deals, and I'm eager to learn as soon as possible.

If you are ever down here or want to swap notes vie email/phone, I'm open to it.Not sure if you are aware, but there is an REI group in your area called DIG that I think I'll be attending soon.

When do you think I should start attending these live meetings?

I was registered to attend and ended up under the weather.

Next Tuesday, I plan to attend a Sheriff's sale to see if I can find and talk to some buyers.

I attended the free session that they were doing in May called "The Wealthy Code".

This ALONE eliminates the issues some may face.We also don’t advertise “No credit check”…screw that….if an applicant is a deadbeat, we don’t’ want to deal with it…I remember when the law was first passed, the largest REI group locally had a meeting with an attorney as a guest speaker, and being the nerd I was, I had the entire freakin code printed off and highlighted and sat on the front row…He went on and on scaring the hell out of everyone, but was citing code that didn’t apply to a lease option…I raised my hand to stop him and told him that what he just mentioned didn’t even apply to a lease option….His response when he saw the stacks of paperwork in front of me…”Well…yes….ummm..you’re right…yes…ummmm….BUT..now…look at section such and such...” and went right over my question….3 days later, everyone that attended got an e-mail from this attorney stating “Want to do lease options legally?

I recommend you attend as many REI MeetUps as possible to build the relationships necessary to jump start your business.
