If someone wants to share in private, I'm all ears.

We always see the gold, but never the work that is needed to create that spectacular ring and shine.

I also have a separate "office" number that I give to tenants which I host at ring-central and I have it set up to just take a message which then emails it out to me and anyone else associated with the property. 

You are not going to find motivated sellers by just sitting back and waiting for the phone to ring.

At least to make the phone ring.  

We both have steady jobs that we like and are content surviving from our earned intome until our assets are secured and we can concentrate more on them.I'm greatful for any and all advise and input that you all may have.I don't have much to offer at the moment besides friendship, dedication, an open ear, and possibly pass word to a few local oil and cattle investors should you have any inquiries about the Southeastern KS markets.Thank you for your time.

If dealing with a broken toilet or two, or hearing some footsteps above my head are the small challenges I have to deal with to climb to the top of an everlasting empire, then I'll put some gloves on, and sleep with ear plugs in if I have to. 

You put the bug in my ear and now I'm looking on craigslist!

I'll keep my eyes and ears open...

A lot of other RE investors also say that the most important thing you can do is get your phone ringing and then learn from there.
